Retired Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide, Jr. said those who voted in favor of the quo warranto petition against ousted Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno may now be subjected to impeachment.
“They know very well there is only one mode and that is by impeachment. If they remove on other grounds, that is a culpable violation of the Constitution; So all of them could be subjected to impeachment,” Mr. Davide said on Thursday, speaking before the Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines.
In addition, Mr. Davide said another possible ground for an impeachment is the filing of the case outside the prescribed period of one year.
“Those who voted against the Chief Justice by granting quo warranto have not decided… within the period prescribed by the Constitution itself,” Mr. Davide said. — Charmaine A. Tadalan
