Diokno and Sawali maintained that preventing the senator’s access to her lawyers, doctors, priests, and counselors is a violation of her rights as these people are all considered essential visitors.
They cited Article III, Section 12 of the 1987 Constitution, which prohibits “[s]ecret detention places, solitary, incommunicado, or other similar forms of detention.” When sought for comment, PNP spokesman Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac told INQUIRER.net in a Viber message that “visits are temporarily restricted under ECQ/MECQ as part of biosafety measures to prevent the spread of inside PNP camps and police stations.”
