The camp of former President Rodrigo Duterte has announced plans to appeal the Supreme Court’s decision denying the issuance of a temporary restraining order (TRO) following his arrest. This move is seen as a bid to challenge the court’s ruling and potentially delay or halt the proceedings against the former president.
The Supreme Court’s decision to deny the TRO has paved the way for the legal process to move forward, despite the Duterte camp’s efforts to secure a stay order. The appeal is expected to be filed shortly, with the camp arguing that the court’s decision was unjust and violated their rights.
This development is the latest in a series of legal battles faced by Duterte, who has been the subject of controversy and criticism throughout his presidency. The former president has been accused of various human rights abuses and has faced numerous complaints and petitions before the Supreme Court.
