A disbarment complaint was filed before the Supreme Court against Glenn Chong for allegedly making remarks unbecoming of his profession during a rally by supporters of Pastor Apollo Quiboloy.
The complaint was filed by fellow lawyer Andre de Jesus, who said Chong claimed during the rally he would 'slap' first lady Liza Araneta-Marcos 'back-to-back.' Chong 's statement drew widespread condemnation from various sectors, including legal professionals who said the remarks violated the principles of decency and respect that the legal profession upholds.
'As lawyers, we are mandated to uphold the law, and we should never be heard threatening women with physical harm.''Rudeness has no place in the legal profession. We should not be rude, even to our opponents: in court, in politics, or in life. And above all, we should not be rude to women,' De Jesus said.Chong served as the representative of Biliran from 2007 to 2010.He has been a critic of the Marcos administration and an outspoken figure in political and religious circles.
