Kaban ni D_BystandeR: HUNGAW ANG PANAHOM NI GOV. JUN

If I were in his shoes and that is the only thing he can afford to come up with to defend his "benefactor" P-Noy, he better had chosen not to open his mouth as it would only "expose" his shallow interpretation in the context of constitutional law. I notice him to be not the extrovert type, not like his father, the retired Chief Justice Jun Davide, where even during the time when he was still a practicing lawyer in Cebu in the 1960s, before his appointment by Cory to become the COMELEC Chairman, I have already high regards for his eloquence and his exceedingly brilliant legal mind that finally qualified him to become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. His son, Junjun, sad to say, was not able to follow the footsteps of his brilliant father.

Gov. Jun has lots of friends from his law office now serving as his assistants but I doubt if he sought their advice to be enlightened on that particular subject about "constitution"to avoid any "embarrassing" blunder.
