‘Reconsider petition for disclosure of President’s state of health’, lawyer urges SC
In a manifestation, lawyer Dino S. de Leon told the SC that “in the interest of substantial justice and considering the urgency of the issue, it behooves the Honorable Court to act on the motion in such an unprecedented time in the country’s history.”
He had earlier petitioned the SC for the release of the President’s health records and cited various “concerns” which he claimed should compel the President to disclose his state of health. “Further, the President’s regular television addresses to the nation as regards the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic show that the President has been actively performing his official duties.
Disagreeing with the ruling, De Leon said in his motion for reconsideration that the SC “made a reversible error when it made a perfunctory determination that the President is, in fact, healthy without sufficient basis other than his recent physical appearances in meetings, the same appearances cited in the petition as having indications of the President’s deteriorating health.”
