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& #39;s health records is in line with the public& #39;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& #39;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& #39;s condition has exacerbated, if not through the Judicial Branch? | @anjocalimario
