MANILA, Philippines — Standing by the Philippines’ “very robust” Constitution, a ranking military official on Monday rejected calls for a revolutionary government. “I’m not very familiar with that group but I don’t believe in a revolutionary government. There are provisions in the Constitution that’s probably already obsolete. “Still, I believe we need to support reforms in the government and these can be done through legislation,” he claimed. Our actions will be limited by what is within the Constitution,” Parlade said.
