SC dismisses petition seeking mass COVID-19 testing

Dismissed was the petition filed by a group led by former Social Welfare and Development Secretary Judy Taguiwalo through the National Union of People’s Lawyers.

Mandamus is a special civil action brought by an aggrieved party “against a tribunal, corporation, board, officer, or person unlawfully neglecting the performance of an act which the law specifically requires as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or station.”“In an En Banc resolution promulgated last Sept. 1 in G.R. No.

“Mandamus, is an appropriate remedy only where the law prescribes and defines the duty to be performed with such precision and certainty as to leave nothing to the exercise of discretion or judgment.” “The omission of proactive and efficient mass testing amid the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that a systematic and normalized violation of the right to health engenders the impairment of other human rights and liberties, such as the rights to travel, livelihood or work, education, and access to justice,” the group said.“Without accurate and timely information on the extent of community transmission of COVID-19, the government lacks proper grounds for any policy pronouncement.
