The unanimous vote by the House committee on justice on May 27 dismissing on its first hearing the impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Mario Victor “Marvic” Leonen was the right thing to do.

Impeachment of members of the Supreme Court is initiated in the House of Representatives and the trial against Leonen has yet to begin.
Hindi totoo ang sinabi ng abogadong si Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon, isang loyalista ni Marcos, na si Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen ay “walang karanasan” sa paglilitis, at sa gayon ay “hindi kwalipikado” para sa kanyang posisyon.
