No President of a republican democracy deserves to rule for life.

Press Statements

No President of a republican democracy deserves to rule for life.

Even the 1987 Constitution limits an elected President to one term of six years.

Sen. Panfilo Lacson was certainly joking that Duterte deserves to be "President for life" if he quickly solves the traffic mess in Metro Manila and flight delays at the NAIA, a presidential promise possibly made in jest.

In the same manner, Lacson cannot serve as Senator for more than the prescribed term limit even if he continues to be the watchdog of "pork barrel”.
