The Philippine Star
|February 24, 2025
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) has asked the Supreme Court for a five-day extension to comment on the petition challenging the validity of the 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
Last Feb. 21, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra submitted to the SC a four-page motion for extension of time to file comment.
The OSG is representing the respondents House of Representatives represented by Speaker Martin Romualdez; the Senate represented by Senate President Francis Escudero and Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in the petition for certiorari and prohibition filed by Victor Rodriguez, Isidro Ungab and five others.
Guevarra explained that while the High Court required the respondents to file their comment within 10 days from the time they received the notice, they are still in the middle of revisions.
