Tulfo dismisses civil-military junta idea due to lack of church, civil society support

Senator Erwin Tulfo dismissed the possibility of a civil-military junta gaining momentum, citing a lack of support from both the church and civil society.

Tulfo stated that these groups did not agree with the concept, especially since it goes against the constitution.

He recalled that past People Power movements were heavily supported by the church and civil society, a situation he believes is absent now.

While civil societies are actively protesting corruption, Tulfo observed that they are also seeing some individuals being held accountable.

He suggested that a junta would only gain traction if the church and civil society organizations united to demand it and the resignation of all officials.

Tulfo commented that the military is currently observing the situation from the sidelines, believing the current administration is making efforts to combat corruption.

He advised against pursuing a junta, suggesting it would be more practical to wait for the national elections, which are only three years away.
