Gadon: SC ruling 'too harsh'

PRESIDENTIAL adviser on poverty alleviation Lorenzo "Larry" Gadon said he will file a motion for reconsideration before the Supreme Court over its "too harsh" decision to disbar him for his outburst against a reporter.

"The penalty is too harsh for the alleged cause which was my outburst against a reporter who was blatantly spreading lies against President BBM (in reference to then presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr.) during the 2016 election campaign intended to fool the public and inflict damage to the candidacy of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.," he told The Manila Times via Viber.
