UP Law faculty calls for dismissal of ‘baseless’ impeachment complaint vs Leonen

They further noted that Leonen is being targeted because of his efforts to uphold laws and procedures that protect the country’s electoral process from the “whims and abuses of those seeking greater political power.”

Edwin Cordevilla, secretary general of Filipino League of Advocates for Good Government , filed the complaint with assistance from lawyer Larry Gadon. It was endorsed by Ilocos Norte Rep. Angelo Marcos Barba, a cousin of former senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. Leonen is the SC magistrate overseeing Marcos’ pending claim of electoral fraud against Vice President Leni Robredo on the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.The Marcos camp, however, denied involvement and said it had “nothing to do with the impeachment complaint.”
