Former Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has sounded the alarm over the current people’s initiative campaign, labeling it ‘unconstitutional’ for seeking to revise the constitution. In a candid interview with Karen Davila on Headstart, Carpio emphasized the delicate balance of power in the country’s constitutional framework. He expressed concern that such a move could undermine the Constitution and pave the way for authoritarianism.
Carpio also weighed in on the government’s plans to explore the West Philippine Sea, highlighting the need for a unified approach to assert the country’s claims. As a respected expert on international law, Carpio offered valuable insights into the complexities of maritime disputes and the importance of upholding national sovereignty.
