Granting the temporary restraining order in favor of Gloria and Mike Arroyo by the majority of Supreme Court (SC) justices should end the issue on whether the Arroyos can travel abroad to seek Gloria’s medical treatment, although this TRO grant does not necessarily settle the issue of whether the Noynoy-De Lima watch list order-allow departure order (WLO-ADO) is to be junked, but the odds are that this would be deemed unconstitutional, given the fact that no law authorizes the Department of Justice to issue such an order that belongs to the judiciary through a hold departure order and its lifting on persons already under the jurisdiction of the courts, as well as the fact that the three constitutional exemptions — national security, public safety and public health — have not been invoked as Malacañang insists on the issue being grounded on national interest.
