Ivy TejanoDAVAO CITY – The Davao City Regional Trial Court Branch 15 has ordered former Mindanao Development Authority chairperson Maria Belen Sunga-Acosta and her lawyer to clarify their statements online and provide reasons that will prevent them from being held in contempt of court.
The judge highlighted Acosta's erroneous claim that the dismissal of her quo warranto petition had been reversed and that the court had accepted her request to reconsider its previous decision to dismiss her petition against new MinDA chairman Leo Tereso Magno. Acosta and Torreon were also directed to remove the misleading official statement from social media and other platforms within the same period. Failure to comply with the directives shall be deemed a waiver and shall constrain the court from imposing severe penalties provided for under the rules, the court added.
