‘Violates equal protection clause and amends Charter’GMA allies seek SC’s voiding of truth bodyBy Gerry Baldo, Benjamin B. Pulta and Aycth S. de la Cruz 08/13/2010 Members of the House minority bloc yesterday asked the Supreme Court (SC) to nullify the creation of the Truth Commission through Executive Order (EO) 1, on the ground that its establishment is unconstitutional. This is the third EO issued by President Aquino, through his Executive Secretary that is being challenged before the high court. Earlier, EO 2 and 3, seeking the dismissal of Palace-claimed appointees and the nullification of an Arroyo issued EO granting government lawyers career executive officer status, have also been questioned before the high court. Minority leader and Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman and three other senior lawmakers, in a 55-page petition for Certiorari and Prohibition, challenged the constitutionality of EO 1 which formed the “Truth Commission” with Palace-designated head, former Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. They asked the SC to issue a temporary restraining order and or a writ of preliminary injunction to maintain the status quo.
