MANILA - A lawyer is again urging the Supreme Court to order the disclosure of President Rodrigo Duterte's health, following his admission that he was at risk of cancer.
De Leon filed on Wednesday a manifestation reiterating his motion for the High Court to set oral arguments for his petition. "If the Honorable Court respects the President's declarations, it should take judicial cognizance of the same and do its solemn duty to uphold the right of the people to know the truth behind the state of the President's physical and mental health," he said. The Supreme Court in May dismissed De Leon's petition to Duterte or his office to make public his latest medical and psychological exam results, health bulletins and other medical records.
De Leon on July 24 filed a motion for reconsideration seeking to overturn the dismissal of his petition.
