Another government official who fell to Malacañang’s Executive Order No. 2 (EO 2) revoking the so-called “midnight appointees” of former President and now Rep. Gloria Arroyo has petitioned the Supreme Court (SC) for a temporary restraining order (TRO).
Bai Omera Dianalan-Lucman, was appointed by Arroyo as commissioner and secretary of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) with Cabinet rank in March, included the TRO prayer in her petition questioning the constitutionality of EO 2.
Through her lawyers Jose Ventura Aspiras and Bantuas Lucman, the NCMF chief urged the SC to rule whether or not her assumption to office during the election ban makes her a midnight appointee considering that her appointment and oath-taking came before the ban.
