Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Juan Ponce Enrile appears Wednesday, September 21, 2022, before a Senate panel conducting an inquiry on Charter change

Senate PRIB

 

MANILA, Philippines — Juan Ponce Enrile — who implemented Martial Law in the 1970s and is currently chief presidential legal counsel — on Wednesday called for the lifting of a safeguard in the Constitution meant to prevent a repeat of rights abuses during the long presidency of Ferdinand Marcos.

 

Enrile heavily criticized the 1987 Constitution during a Senate panel hearing on charter change, saying that the present constitution “weakened” the powers of the Republic.

 

In particular, the 98-year-old politician vented his frustration over the deletion of the phrase “imminent danger thereof” in the provision on martial law in the 1987 Constitution.
