ICYMI: Invoking freedom of expression and of the press, a former mouthpiece of the government’s anti-insurgency task force has asked the Supreme Court to set aside the show cause order it issued and not to declare her in contempt of court.
Badoy’s remarks earned the ire of hundreds of lawyers and school deans, who later asked the high court to take action against the former NTF-Elcac official.
She said her comments were also made in the exercise of her rights as a journalist. Badoy is a commentator on SMNI News, which airs on the network owned by controversial televangelist Apollo Quiboloy. “What I said was an if-then statement. It’s a syllogism, hypothetical syllogism, deductive reasoning,” said Badoy, who was accompanied by her lawyer, Harry Roque, a former spokesperson of then President Rodrigo Duterte.
