"Aquino's threats against the Supreme Court indicate how far he is willing to go to defend his privilege and power," added the CPP. "But his power is now facing serious challenges amid disclosures of widespread corruption and with the people increasingly disillusioned with Aquino's false promises."
"Sa pagdepensa sa DAP, ipinagtatanggol ni Aquino ang sistemang pork barrel ng pamumudmod ng pondo ayon sa kanyang kapasyahan at husga," anang PKP. "Nang maupo sa poder, ginagamit ni Aquino ang gayong pribelehiyo para gamitin ang pampulitikang impluwensya sa moda ng asenderong pulitika."
