a government petition to declare the Communist Party of the Philippines and its armed wing, the New People’s Army, as terrorist organizations.
The Court also took note of the statements issued by various lawyers and judges’ groups, such as Hukom, the Philippine Judges Association, and the University of the Philippine College of Law Faculty, condemning the red tagging of Judge Malagar by Badoy. Among the petitioners are former Philippine Bar Association President Rico Domingo, Ateneo Human Rights Center Executive Director Ray Paolo Santiago, former Ateneo law dean Antonio “Tony” La Viña and law school deans Soledad Deriquito-Mawis, Anna Maria Abad and Rodel Taton, lawyers Ayn Ruth Toelntino-Azarcon, Artemio Calumpong and Christianne Grace Salonga.
The petitioners stressed that the issue of the propriety to impose indirect contempt citation on Badoy is of “transcendental importance” since it would have “far-reaching consequences” to the independence of the Judiciary. The petitioners also noted that Judge Malagar is not the only target of Badoy’s hostile and threatening remarks, the petitioners said, citing her vitriolic and hateful statement against Hukom Inc. after the latter condemned her statement against the judge.
