Leftist group calls DoJ secretary advice to Chief Justice a pressure

“Now it can be told which party is pressuring the Supreme Court.”

The rabid anti-Charter Change group Pambansang Lakas ng Kilusang Mamamalakaya ng Pilipinas (Pamalakaya) said the ill and immoral advice of Justice Secretary Raul Gonzales for Supreme Court Justice Artemio Panganiban to cut down on his social activities to avoid such pressure was in fact a open act of political pressure for the high tribunal to decide in favor of people’s initiative filed by Palace backed pro-Chacha groups.

“ Secretary Gonzales, the undisputed champion in carrying out the dirty job for the ruling syndicate in Malacañang is now attacking not only the Chief Justice but the Supreme Court and the entire justice system to save the anti-people Chacha and the political career of his illegitimate, puppet and corrupt president,” said Pamalakaya national chair Fernando Hicap in a press statement.

Hicap said Secretary Gonzales was acting like as if he is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and that Panganiban was just a political animal who is busy in round-the-clock publicity stint by attending to several social functions related and not related to his work as chief of the high tribunal.

“ If we are in Chief Justice shoes we will cite this aging politician and dilapidated puppet of Mrs. Arroyo in contempt of court or even go beyond to teach this has been politician a lesson of a lifetime,” the Pamalakaya leader added.

Gonzales on Saturday said Chief Justice Panganiban should steer clear of social occasions where politicians are present but also be wary of nosy reporters to avoid pressure. The controversial DoJ secretary further said Panganiban should only limit his social functions related to his work as Chief Justice.

“ Secretary Gonzales and leaders of mysterious groups such as Sigaw ng Bayan and Ulap are performing their roles to the hilt as back up dancers of Mrs. Arroyo. They are ganging up all members of the Supreme Court in the name of President Arroyo’s political survival, in the name of their illegitimate and immoral interests and in the name of puppetry and anti-national policies of the regime. This is unpardonable,” Hicap added.

The militant group believed that there was a concerted effort on the part of Malacañang and the President allies to pressure the high court to act in favor of people’s initiative as a mode to revise the 19-year old constitution.

Pamalakaya said President Arroyo and House Speaker Jose de Venecia are leading the pressure forces to compel the Supreme Court to act in favor of the petition seeking charter change through people’s initiative, which the group said was only the initiative of President Arroyo, the House speaker and politicians allied with the present administration.

“ We will make sure that the politics of the plebians will prevail over the politics of the local patricians and their foreign masters on the issue of Charter Change. This is the beginning of more action packed protests against Chacha and Mrs. Arroyo’s greed for fame, fortune and power and her de facto dictatorship,” Pamalakaya said referring to last Friday’s anti-Chacha rally in Morayta that was attended by not less than 3,000 farmers, fisherfolk, urban poor and worker activists in Central Luzon, Southern Tagalog and National Capital Region (NCR).
