In a Motion to Resolve filed on Wednesday, October 21, former lawmakers Neri Colmenares, Ferdinand Gaite and Carlos Isagani Zarate urged the high court to rule on the merits of the petitions and issue “constitutional guidelines” to prevent similar budgetary irregularities in the future.
“Petitioners most respectfully pray that the consolidated petitions be immediately resolved on the merits and that the Court issue constitutional guidelines to ensure a budgetary process that abides by the 1987 Constitution,” the motion read.
