Leni Robredo’s flawed legal opinion on the Marcos LNMB burial #marcosnotahero

We in the Soup are trying to wrap our heads around this.

Vice President Leni Robredo, in her statement on the Marcos swift burial in Libingan ng mga Bayani: “They obviously flouted the law where the decision does not become final and executory until 15 days or the resolution of the MR. [Motion for Reconsideration at the Supreme Court] We are disturbed that this happened in coordination with AFP and PNP demonstrating further that the judicial process has been thoroughly disregarded.”

Yet, as ABS-CBN News reports, according to SC spokesman Theodore Te there is no order prohibiting the burial of Ferdinand Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani on Friday. “There is no order prohibiting it because the status quo ante (order) was lifted,” Te told ABS-CBN News in a text message. “Even if there is a 15 day period, there was no order restraining the act,” Te added.

What say you?
