Hontiveros asks Bongbong Marcos to reconsider Larry Gadon appointment

She said Gadon “holds neither title nor expertise to justify his appointment.”

“Pushing through with the decision will only demoralize the bureaucracy by incentivizing an official whom the Court unanimously does not trust. 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,” the senator also said.

In the same breath, Hontiveros lauded the high tribunal “for its indignation about misogyny and sexism in our institutions, which is vital to the government’s integrity.”Gadon though earlier downplayed his disbarment since he said his new job does not require lawyering. “The position and the task given to me by the President do not require lawyering hence my suspension and disbarment have no effect on my appointment,” he said in a statement Tuesday night after learning the SC decision from sources.“I will just approach this issue on a personal concern, file a motion for reconsideration and proceed in facing the challenges of the job and aim to serve the public in my best capability,” Gadon added.
