MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – In the midst of a growing clamor among the political opposition to impeach President Rodrigo Duterte for failing to defend the Philippines’ terrotorial claims in the South China Sea as mandated by the Constitutiion, new Senators have put forward a proposal to amend the fundamental law of the land.
It has nothing to do with Duterte.
In an exclusive interview with The Adobo Chronicles, neophite Senators Imee Marcos, Bong Go and Bato De La Rosa said they will co-sponsor a proposal to immediately amend the 1987 Constitution.
One of their proposals is to make stupidity among elected and appointed officials an impeachable offense, carrying with it a penalty of lifetime disquslification from any public office.
It wasn’t clear if the trio’s proposal was an offshoot of Foreign Affairs Secretary Teddy Boy Locsin’s recent tweet calling Vice President Leni Robredo ‘boba’ (stupid) for criticizing DFA’s decision to revoke all courtesy diplomatic passports of ex-government officials.
