PBA ang host… Carpio, kumasa sa hamong debate ni P-DU30 dahil sa WPS


ni Ronalyn Seminiano Reonico | May 6, 2021



Handang magsilbing host ang Philippine Bar Association (PBA) sa debate sa pagitan nina Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte at retired Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio tungkol sa isyu sa West Philippine Sea (WPS).


Matapos tanggapin ni Carpio ang hamong debate ni P-Duterte, ayon kay Philippine Bar Association President Rico Domingo, handa ang organisasyon na mag-host nang libre sa oras at petsa na mapagkakasunduan ng dalawa.


Aniya, "As the oldest voluntary private organization of lawyers in the country, the PBA will provide a balanced arena fit for two lawyers of eminent stature and experience to dispassionately discuss the core issues relating to the dispute on the West Philippine Sea.


“The PBA stands ready to provide this forum for free and at no cost to either parties conformably with its staunch advocacy to promote the rule of law.”


Tinanggap naman ni Carpio ang alok ng PBA na maging host ng naturang debate.


Aniya pa, “I am happy to accept the offer of PBA to host and moderate the debate.”


Sa public address ni P-Duterte noong Miyerkules, hinamon niya ng debate si Carpio.


Saad pa ng pangulo, “Supreme Court Justice, pareho man tayo abugado. Gusto – eh, gusto mo magdebate tayo?”


Aniya ay sangkot si Carpio sa desisyong pagpapaalis ng barko ng Pilipinas sa standoff sa mga barko ng China sa Scarborough Shoal noong 2012.


Handa rin umano siyang magbitiw sa puwesto kapag napatunayang mali ang kanyang pahayag.


Pinabulaanan naman ni Carpio ang mga sinabi ni P-Duterte at aniya ay dapat na itong mag-resign “to keep his word of honor.”
