“I ask the President to reconsider the appointment of Larry Gadon. Not only was he disbarred, he was also cited in direct contempt by the Supreme Court voting 15-0. A disgraced former attorney does not inspire confidence in the Cabinet,” Hontiveros said in a statement Wednesday. “This will be a slap in the face for our legal professionals, and yet another black eye on good governance so early on in the current administration,” she said.
