If the Consultative Committee's present draft government constitution is approved, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
can run again for a similar position and conceivably remain in control for 8
more years.
This was Julio Teehankee, Consultative Committee's member interpretation of the
draft in a meeting disclosed on One News Channel on Wednesday, July 4, 2018.
"There's no ban so they (incumbent
officials) can run under a new constitution. Because it's like a reboot, it's a
reset," he said in a mix of English and Filipino.
The Con-Com's proposed new sanction discounts term
augmentation for Duterte and Vice President Leni Robredo however does not
disallow them from looking for re-decision when the new contract produces
results.
Under the 1987 Constitution, Duterte and Robredo can't look
for re-decision. But since the Con-Com's draft constitution sets a term of 4
years for President and VP and enables them to serve a greatest of two terms,
Duterte could conceivably be in control for 8 more years.
Normally, this change design would incorporate arrangements
and supervision over the May 2022 surveys.
Duterte, in any case, has much of the time said that he will
resign from politics after he completes his present term.
