Request for comment doesn’t mean petition is granted or denied
By Nidz Godino
“So when court asks party to comment or to respond, it does not mean it’s either granted or denied petition or claim,” Supreme Court spokesperson Camille Ting said in press briefing request for comment on petition does not indicate Supreme Court has ruled on the case.
Ting explained when high court directs party to submit comment, it does not mean petition has been granted or denied.
Ting’s clarification follows Supreme Court’s directive requiring children of former President Rodrigo Duterte to “personally file traverse” or response to compliance filed by Department of Justice on behalf of government respondents.
Traverse or comment is part of court’s procedural requirements, but Ting noted that traverse specifically serves as “responsive pleading” in habeas corpus petitions.
Duterte’s children Veronica, Sebastian and Paolo filed habeas corpus petitions on March 12 and 13, challenging legality of their father’s arrest. They questioned constitutionality of Philippine government’s cooperation with International Criminal Court (ICC) and sought Duterte’s return.
The former president was arrested on March 11 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport upon his arrival from Hong Kong. Prosecutor General Anthony Fadullon served the warrant.
Duterte was formally charged at ICC on March 14 with crimes against humanity (murder) over at least 43 killings, including those allegedly carried out by Davao Death Squad and police operations during his presidency.
