WN, you might want to include also the COMELEC people here in the list. The constitution did not mention implicitly or explicitly whatsoever that an elected president who has not finished his 6 years term is eligible to run again.
The strongest term that will knock on eraps head is the word "re-election". He was elected as president. If he did not finished his term for his stupidity, and he wants to run again, do we not consider it as "re-election"? This is very simple.
It is not hard to understand this. Yes, I agree with you, they think that they are above the law and they will circumvent the law as much as they can because of greed.
But, the question here is, What can we do about it? When can we emerged from inside the cave? What will make us get to our senses?
The consitution again states that: Soveriegnty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.
We, the people are soveriegn. But I think it's not the case.

NGS,
If you agree with me that they think that they are above the law and they will circumvent the law as much as they can because of greed therefore it is correct to say that GMA's takeover of power is unsconstitutional. When she grabbed power the constitutional clock stopped also.
You asked; "What can we do about it? When can we emerged from inside the cave? What will make us get to our senses?"
My answer is; if you want us to emerge from inside the cave and make us return to our senses... if I am the SC I will let Erap run again for president. In the first place it was the SC's fault in swearing in GMA when in fact by law she was not elected as president. And if you believe the people is sovereign then let's give a chance to Erap if the sovereign people will accept him.
