Saan nakalista ang requirements ng SOVEREIGN FILIPINO PEOPLE na dapat tuparin ng mga pinahiram natin ng temporary government power (especially the President)? In large part ay nasa Constitution. Balikan natin ang starting point ng usapan natin bilang isang bayan, ang Preamble ng Constitution. It says:
WE, THE SOVEREIGN FILIPINO PEOPLE, IMPLORING THE AID OF ALMIGHTY GOD, IN ORDER TO BUILD A JUST AND HUMANE SOCIETY, AND ESTABLISH A GOVERNMENT THAT SHALL EMBODY OUR IDEALS AND ASPIRATIONS, PROMOTE THE COMMON GOOD, CONSERVE AND DEVELOP OUR PATRIMONY, AND SECURE TO OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY, THE BLESSINGS OF INDEPENDENCE AND DEMOCRACY UNDER THE RULE OF LAW AND A REGIME OF TRUTH, JUSTICE, FREEDOM, LOVE, EQUALITY, AND PEACE, DO ORDAIN AND PROMULGATE THIS CONSTITUTION.
Tingnan ninyo ang mga points na ito:
1. Ang SOVEREIGN FILIPINO PEOPLE ang nag-establish ng government, nauna ang taumbayan sa existence bago ang gobyerno;
2. Ang gobyerno dapat ang kumakatawan ng ideals and aspirations ng SOVEREIGN FILIPINO PEOPLE, at hindi ito ang nanghihila pababa sa ideals at aspirations ng taumbayan.
LET’s RECLAIM WHO THE BOSS IS!
