Opposition to question SC over Marawi rebellion

THE motion for reconsideration set to be filed by opposition lawmakers to contest the Supreme Court’s July 4 ruling upholding President Rodrigo Duterte’s declaration of martial law over the entire island of Mindanao will assert that there was no basis for anchoring the declaration on the supposed existence of rebellion.

Rep. Teodoro Baguilat Jr. of Ifugao said in a radio interview that opposition lawmakers, petitioners in the challenge recently junked by the High Court, were set to file a motion for reconsideration this week.
