Respect the Constitution: Keep the military out of politics

It is highly irresponsible for anyone to advocate for a coup d’état in the midst of the ongoing tensions between President Marcos and Vice President Sara Duterte. Such actions would only bring harm to the people of our nation, as the stability of our country hangs in the balance. A coup d’état, which is a sudden and illegal seizure of power from a government, often leads to violence, instability, and loss of lives. It disrupts the democratic process and undermines the rule of law, which are essential for a peaceful and prosperous society. History has shown us that coups often result in long-lasting damage to a country’s political, social, and economic stability.

As a concerned citizen who firmly believes in upholding the rule of law, I urge my fellow Filipinos to show respect for our Constitution and the institutions that uphold it. Our Constitution is the supreme law of the land and provides the framework for our democracy. It guarantees our fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as outlines the powers and limitations of our government officials. By respecting and upholding the Constitution, we ensure that our democracy remains intact and that the rule of law prevails.

Let us refrain from allowing our emotions to dictate our actions and refrain from inciting our military to intervene in the political turmoil between our leaders. Emotions can cloud our judgment and lead us to make decisions that are not in the best interest of our nation. It is important to approach political conflicts with reason, tolerance, and a commitment to dialogue and compromise. Inciting the military to intervene in politics is a dangerous precedent that can have far-reaching consequences. The military’s primary role is to protect the country from external threats, not to meddle in domestic political affairs.

Instead, let us demonstrate our compassion and concern for the well-being of our children and the future of our nation by rejecting any unconstitutional methods to resolve the current political crisis. Our children are the future leaders of our country, and it is our duty to set a positive example for them. By advocating for peaceful and lawful ways to address political disagreements, we show our commitment to democracy, stability, and progress. We must work together to find common ground, respect each other’s viewpoints, and uphold the principles of justice and fairness.

Let us remember our shared responsibility to protect the country and work toward a better future for all.

May God bless the Philippines.
