Manila, Philippines – The camp of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno has filed a rejoinder to the House Committee on Justice, Monday.
It was the chief justice’s answer to the verified reply submitted by Atty. Lary Gadon, the complainant of the impeachment rap against her.
The rejoinder states that Gadon failed to prove his allegations written in the complaint.
It also restates the appeal of the Chief Justice to dismiss the impeachment complaint.
“Iginigiit uli ni Chief Justice na karapat-dapat nang ibasura yung impeachment compaint laban sa kanya. Kung sakaling magdesisyon ang mga miyembro ng House Committee on Justice na ipagpatuloy ang pagdinig, patuloy pa rin ang kanyang panawagan na sana igalang ang kanilang House rules on impeachment kasama na dito ang paggalang sa kanyang karapatan na makumpronta ang mga testigo laban sa kanya,” said CJ Sereno’s spokesperson Atty. Josa Deinla.
(Translation: The chief justice insists the dismissal of the impeachment complaint against her. Should the House Committee on Justice decide to push through with the hearing, she will continue to appeal for the observance of the House rules on impeachment which includes respecting her right to confront the witnesses against her.) – UNTV News & Rescue
