SC opposed criticism over the Iloilo power row between More Electric and Power Corporation and the Panay Electric Company.
The Supreme Court on Monday said that the SC will remain objective and independent in ruling on cases pending before it.
In a statement, court spokesperson Brian Keith Hosaka said that the Supreme Court was composed of 15 Justices, adding that “its actions are based on the majority vote of the members en banc or of a division.” Hosaka also said that the decisions of the Supreme Court were “always founded on facts, applicable laws, and current jurisprudence.” Brian Keith Hosaka added that they will wait for the final resolution of the pending cases.
This, after a party-list lawmaker said in a statement that the SC was “biased” in favor of a party in the ongoing legal fiasco between two firms over the Iloilo power distribution contract wherein four judges opted to inhibit from the case.
In a statement, Abang Lingkod Party-list Rep. Joseph Stephen Paduano on Sunday encouraged President Rodrigo Duterte to mediate in the row between More Electric and Power Corporation (MORE) and the Panay Electric Company (PECO).
Four judges — Yvette Go (RTC Branch 37), Ma. Theresa Gaspar (RTC Branch 33), Daniel Antonio Gerardo Amular (RTC Branch 35) and Gloria Madero (RTC Branch 29) — had inhibited themselves from the said case.
