MARCOS PRE-TRIAL POSTPONEMENT QUESTIONABLE!

09 June 2017

The preliminary conference Bongbong’s protest had been set for June 21. But it was postponed almost TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE, and rescheduled for another THREE WEEKS AFTER, on July 11. Now, think about these, boys and girls

The oral arguments for the petitions against Martial Law in Mindanao HAVE NOT STARTED YET. Meaning, NOBODY KNOWS how fast or how slow it will go. The SC will decide depending on the pace and other issues related to the arguments. So WHY must the preliminary conference on Bongbong’s protest be IMMEDIATELY POSTPONED?

The oral arguments start on June 13, MORE THAN A WEEK before the preliminary conference. WHY couldn’t the SC WAIT for that first and see how it will go before postponing the preliminary conference? And WHY THREE MORE WEEKS, and not just a week or more?

For the record, I’m not belittling the importance of the petitions against martial law in Mindanao. But Bongbong’s protest has NOT MOVED SINCE IT WAS FILED ONE YEAR AGO. And the vice-presidency, the second highest position in the land, is at stake.

For anybody to say that Bongbong’s protest is of lesser importance than the petitions against Martial Law in Mindanao is nothing less than VESTED INTEREST and JUSTICE DENIED! 30
