Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III on Thursday described Senator Robin Padilla's petition before the Supreme Court as "premature" and "outside the jurisdiction" of the high court."The action for declaratory relief can be filed in the courts lower than the Supreme Court. Let us not waste the Supreme Court’s precious time," Pimentel, a lawyer, said in a text message to reporters.
