Opposition quizzes legality of Noy’s EO on truth body
By Charlie V. Manalo 08/01/2010 The minority bloc in the House of Representatives is seriously considering challenging before the judicial forum the constitutionality of Executive Order (EO) 1 of President Aquino creating the Truth Commission of 2010. At the weekly Kapihan sa Sulo, Minority Floor Leader Edcel Lagman said “the projected court action is not to shield officials of the previous administration who can be indicted and tried before existing prosecutorial and judicial bodies.” He stressed that “the sole purpose of the judicial recourse is to uphold the sanctity of the Constitution on separation of powers and maintain the rule of law.” Source: The Daily Tribune URL: http://www.tribuneonline.org/headlines/20100801hed2.html |
