Judges hint at bigger mass moves vs budget
By Angie M. Rosales12/09/2010
The country’s judges yesterday stood their ground in protesting what they called as insufficient budget for the judiciary in the proposed budget for next year with the Philippine Judges Association (PJA) hinting at bigger mass actions forthcoming.
Judge Antonio Eugenio of the Manila Trial Court (MTC) and PJA president said that there are no changes in the judges’ position despite the claim of the Palace and its allies in Congress that they should live within their approved budget.
Eugenio said the executive committee of the PJA is now discussing the next course of action the group will take.
Eugenio said it is now up to legislators whether to consider their request for a bigger budget.
The important thing, Eugenio said, is that they have driven their point during their protest action on Monday during the flag-raising ceremony nationwide.... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
