We had it coming, Ousted Maria Lourdes Sereno said that she was ready to lead a “people’s movement” that would hold President Rodrigo Duterte accountable.
Sereno made the statement before her supporters at the University of the Philippines just hours after the Supreme Court rejected with finality her motion for reconsideration.
In her speech, the former chief of justice slammed President Duterte as “blasphemous, self-styled dictator” who weakened the country’s democratic institutions.
Sereno stressed that despite losing her position, she would still continue to defend institutions and uphold the dignity of the Filipinos.
“On the birth anniversary of Gat Jose Rizal, the unity we have forged these last months will be the foundation of genuine people’s movement that will hold government accountable for its actions and help enlighten Filipinos regarding important national issues the first of which is charter change,” Sereno said.
Sereno did not look so affected at all after her removal, this politically flavored speech from Sereno only gives more suspicions that she might run for a senate position in the next elections.
“We’re in no mood of jokes, for flipflopping, for lies, for propaganda, for improvisational governance,” she said. – source
