MANILA, Philippines (Eagle News) — Chief justice Maria Lourdes P. Aranal Sereno on Wednesday said that she sees no need to add to what are being said.
This was the reaction of the Supreme Court (SC) on the speech of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte on Tuesday saying that the Chief Justice should not create a constitutional crisis which may prompt the President to order everybody in the Executive Department not to honor the orders of the Chief Justice to the Executive Department.
President Duterte also warned the chief justice not to impede on the government’s all-out war against illegal drugs; otherwise, he would rather declare martial law.
On Wednesday, Presidential Communications Office Secretary Martin Andanar said the remark about martial law was just a rhetorical question.
