It’s not just about Sereno

by Luis V. TeodoroMay 18, 2018

The ouster of Sereno as Chief Justice is not solely about Sereno. It is about the imminent danger of dictatorship.

"The rebel undoubtedly demands a certain degree of freedom for himself; but in no case, if he is consistent, does he demand the right to destroy the existence and the freedom of others. He humiliates no one. The freedom he claims, he claims for all; the freedom he refuses, he forbids everyone to enjoy. He is not only the slave against the master, but also man against the world of master and slave. Thanks to rebellion, there is something more in history than the relationship between mastery and servitude."
