BISHOPS TO PRESIDENT: RESPECT SC

President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s attack on the Supreme Court (SC) did not sit well with Catholic bishops who advised him to accept the High Court’s ruling on the Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP).

Stressing that it is the judiciary that interprets the law “with definitiveness in the process of resolving justiciable issues,” the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) urged government leaders to respect the High Court’s unanimous ruling that the DAP is unconstitutional.
