A day after being appointed as Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation, Larry Gadon was disbarred by Supreme Court
LARRY GADON – The controversial lawyer has been disbarred by the Supreme Court a day after his appointment as Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation.
Lorenzo “Larry” Gacilo Gadon is a lawyer and former senatorial candidate. He gained social media attention for his use of vulgar language and strong stance against liberals and communists. Despite running for a senatorial seat in 2016, 2019, and 2022 elections, he was unsuccessful each time.
Gadon is a supporter of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Throughout his career, Gadon has been involved in various controversies, including disbarment cases for inappropriate behavior during a protest, a suspension for offensive language, and disregarding COVID-19 safety protocols.
On Monday, June 26, 2023, he was appointed by President Bongbong Marcos as Presidential Adviser on Poverty Alleviation. The appointment of Gadon was announced by the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) on Monday, June 26.
However, a day after his appointment, Gadon learned from reliable sources that the Supreme Court has decided to disbar him. According to him, his reaction to this is to file a Motion For Reconsideration. Gadon claimed that the penalty issued to him is “too harsh” which was allegedly due to his outburst against a reporter.
Gadon stressed that his disbarment will not affect his commitment to helping the administration of President Bongbong Marcos, particularly in the aspect of poverty alleviation.
Larry Gadon noted that he’s already retired from law practice since 2015 following his involvement in politics.
