Senator Richard Gordon and a group of alumni from the University of the Philippines College of Law say the President's order is unconstitutional.

President Rodrigo Duterte’s order to block the appearance of Cabinet officials and witnesses in the Senate’s ongoing probe into the alleged corruption in his administration’s pandemic response is provoking a “constitutional crisis,” said Senator Richard Gordon, head of the investigating panel.

“This directive of President Duterte is clearly unconstitutional,” the group said. Among the signatories are retired Supreme Court senior justice Antonio Carpio, Emily Sibulo-Hayudini, and Edgardo Balbin.

As you said, “The President must respect the constitutional exercise of power by a co-equal branch of government.' Therefore, uphold the authority of the senate. Cite in contempt cabinet heads who won't show-up. They can't derail the hearing. Order for their arrest!😡🇵🇭✊

ImpeachHim

Hay nako. This constitutional monster was once your pet. Or is this part of the circus act?

We're in crisis from the very start. May n fact we've been living in this political stupidity. Now we're just highlighting how greedy, evil and narcissistic this administration is!

We dont need a law degree to know that. The question is what are you going to do about it? Impeachment? Anyone?

🤣 selda is real.

Napaghahalatang may iniiwasan at tinatagong ayaw maungkat. 😂
