MANILA - President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo should make an “ethical and selfless decision” and “not abuse” the power given by the Supreme Court that allowed her to appoint a new Chief Justice during the election period, a militant leader said Thursday.
“Arroyo can still make the ethical and selfless decision of not appointing a chief justice before her term ends. The SC may have decided but the final call will be with Mrs. Arroyo, whether she appoints or not,” said Renato Reyes, Jr., Bayan secretary general, in a statement.
