PAPUNTA SA DAANG MATUWID

KIT TATAD - In 1972 President Ferdinand Marcos declared martial law all over the country, in response to the communist rebellion that threatened to take over the government. It was a legitimate response to an actual emergency. By contrast, many see PNoy's rush into one-man rule as an attempt to conduct the presidency as a kind of video game, of which he is reputedly a master. But neither life nor government is a game. Not anywhere, least of all in a constitutional democracy.
