A disbarred lawyer and adviser of President Marcos is pushing for “political amendments” in the 1987 Constitution, with eight suggested political reforms that include extending the term limits of all elected government officials.

Secretary Lorenzo Gadon from the Office of the Presidential Adviser for Poverty Alleviation went to the office of Speaker Martin Romualdez to have his official letter, dated April 1, received. He also furnished a copy to the office of Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.MANILA, Philippines —

“It’s my political right and under the freedom of expression, it is also my right to suggest. The only thing I can do at this point is to make a suggestion. It’s not even a proposal because I am not a member of Congress. And I’m sure that some minds will be open to these suggestions,” Gadon said. The six-year terms of the President, Vice President and senators should be kept, “with no possibility of re-election.” Existing constitutional provisions on succession, according to him, should be retained.

Gadon also wanted to increase the number of senators from the current crop of 24 to 48 “to enhance efficiency.”
