Oliver Lozano implied that PNoy was worse than dictator Ferdinand Marcos because PNoy had publicly castigated Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. Lozano was quoted as saying the following: "Even former President (Ferdinand) Marcos when he declared martial law, bowed to the Supreme Court rulings, all the critics were free to question (the) presidential decree(s) issued during that time," he (Lozano) said.

He said when Marcos declared martial law, he based all the presidential decrees on the Constitution and the rule of law and he also bowed to any decision handed by the high court.

"The Supreme Court has ruled that martial law was not a dictatorship but a constitutional authoritarian rule to restore order in the country," he said.
