YOUTH ACT NOW! (Youth for Truth and Accountability Now!) joined other concerned sectors and groups today in the “Lakbayan para sa katotohanan at katarungan” to Baguio.
YOUTH ACT NOW! Spokesperson Alvin Peteres called on the Supreme Court to uphold ‘public privilege’ or the people’s right to know over executive privilege in the Neri ruling.
“We call on the SC to reverse its decision on the Neri case. There is considerable clamor from youth and students for the Senate hearings on the ZTE to resume, especially this summer vacation when students can vigilantly witness the proceedings without being limited by school work and classes,” Peters said.
“On April 15, the Supreme Court en banc is set to take up the Senate’s Motion for Reconsideration on the question of executive privilege during its summer session in Baguio. Various groups will hold a caravan from Manila to Dagupan to Baguio to call on the SC to REVERSE its decision on executive privilege and uphold the public’s right to know. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE HIGH COURT UPHOLD PUBLIC INTEREST AND NOT BE A PARTY TO THE CONTINUING COVER UP OF CORRUPTION UNDER THE ARROYO ADMINISTRATION.”
