Request for comment doesn’t mean petition is granted or denied

“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.
