BREAKING: A petition was filed before Supreme Court seeking to compel President Rodrigo Duterte to disclose his health records since he assumed office. | @anjocalimario
Specifically, petitioner wants the President Duterte through the Office of the President and/or Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea to disclose copies of his latest medical and psychological/psychiatric exam results, health bulletins, and other health records | @anjocalimario
Lawyer Dino De Leon argues the request for the President's health records is in line with the public's right to be informed of matters that affect them. "Thus, consistent with Constitutional policy, the Court should err on the side of disclosure." | @anjocalimario
De Leon: Given the behavior of the President during his recent press conferences, it does not take an expert to see that he was hardly lucid. He barely finished a single full sentence, and a lot of people had difficulty following what he was saying. | @anjocalimario
De Leon: When everyone's safety is in peril, the Filipino people should at least have information on the health of the main decision maker. | @anjocalimario
De Leon: How can the public be assured that the President is physically well to handle the COVID-19 pandemic? | @anjocalimario
De Leon: How can the public be made aware as to whether or not the President's condition has exacerbated, if not through the Judicial Branch? | @anjocalimario
