Lacson: Former SC Justices’ Insights Leave ‘Indelible Mark,’ to Guide Decision on Voting Threshold

The insights shared by three former Supreme Court Justices during their appearance before the Impeachment Court Wednesday left an “indelible” mark on Senator-Judge Panfilo “Ping” M. Lacson and will help guide his decision when the Court votes next week on the disputed voting threshold for conviction.

Lacson said Thursday that he learned much from retired Chief Justice Reynato Puno’s discussion of “textual vs. contextual” interpretation, retired Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban’s emphasis on “truth and fairness,” and retired Associate Justice Adolfo Azcuna’s interpretation of the phrase “all means all” in determining the threshold.
