Arroyos ask SC to junk DoJ’s WLO

By Benjamin B. Pulta and Charlie V. Manalo
11/09/2011

Former President now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Arroyo and her spouse, Jose Miguel “Mike” Arroyo, prior to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima’s press conference where she denied the plea of Mrs. Arroyo to leave for abroad in search of medical treatment for her illness, yesterday filed separate petitions before the Supreme Court (SC) to issue writs of certiorari and prohibition to annul and set aside the Watch List Order (WLO) issued against them by Department of Justice (DoJ) Secretary.

In their separate Petition for Certiorari and Prohibition under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court, with Prayer for the Issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order and/or Writ of Preliminary Injunction, the Arroyo couple, through their counsels, stated that De Lima had violated their inherent right to travel as enshrined in the 1987 Constitution by issuing

a series of WLOs under their names, adding that with De Lima’s continued refusal to grant them an Allow Departure Order (ADO), they had lost all remedy in the ordinary course of law to protect themselves from the assailed WLOs issued by De Lima except through their petition before the SC.

The Arroyos invoked their constitutional right to travel in their petitions. In her 41-page suit, the former chief executive asked the high tribunal, to declare as unconstitutional Department Circular No. 41 which gives the DoJ the power to issue watchlist orders (WLOs) and hold departure order (HDOs).

Mrs. Arroyo is being represented by former solicitor general Estelito Mendoza.

Mike Arroyo, through his lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, argued that “to be placed in a watchlist order is an impairment of one’s “right to travel”.

“Inclusion in a watchlist order means that the traveler must first seek the prior permission of the Secretary of Justice before one can exercise his constitutional right to travel or that his travel must be delayed involuntarily. The mere imposition of this requirement upon a hapless citizen, such as Petitioner, constitutes a degrading impairment of one’s constitutional right to travel. This prior requirement or forceful delay before Petitioner can travel outside the Philippines, is a clear impairment of his right to travel and which is expressly prohibited by Article III, Section 6 of the 1987 Constitution.

“Indeed, to be given the right to travel but with the requirement that he must first seek the permission of a stranger or to first await the passage of time in order to exercise it is like “a promise to the ear to be broken to the hope, a teasing illusion like a munificent bequest in a pauper’s will.”

The Arroyos also questioned the DoJ’s position to use the criminal complaint by Sen. Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel against as basis for his inclusion in the watchlist.

“In addition to the clear absence of factual basis, the allegations in Senator Pimentel’s complaint before the joint DoJ-Comelec committee is clearly hearsay. What then would be the factual basis for a Watchlist Order? Can a rumor be the basis of a Watchlist Order? Senator Pimentel III, in contrast to the DoJ Fact-Finding committee, did not conduct any fact-finding.” Arroyo added in his petition.

i would do the same as De Lima not granting them an ADO since they will appeal the case to SC. now it will be the burden of SC whether to grant the request or not.

ug Constitutional Rights atong basihan makagawas jud si GMA .. why ? under prelimenary investigation panan na iyaha karon ... wala paman na probable cause nga ikiha ...

mas peligro hinoon si Delima ani ma kiha ug Human Rights Violation ....

mas peligro hinoon si Delima ani ma kiha ug Human Rights Violation ....

what could be in De Lima's mind if she will be accused of Human Rights Violation considering that she was the head of CHR of the past administration.

wla cguro niya gstudyhan ang result sa iya decision?
