Let people decide on Poe’s case – analyst

REGARDLESS of the ruling of the Senate Electoral Tribunal (SET) and the Commission on Elections (Comelec) on the disqualification cases filed against Senator Grace Poe, it is the Supreme Court (SC) that will have the final say on the matter but it would be better if the high tribunal will allow a higher body—the Filipino people—to decide on the case, a respected political analyst said.

Professor Ramon Casiple, executive director of Institute for Political and Electoral Reform (IPER), explained that it would be better if the SC will not intervene in the case and just let the people decide on whether Poe deserves the presidency.
