THE Yellow cult has found a new rallying cry in the ouster of former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno from the Supreme Court. Former Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr., for one, has accused the magistrates of a “culpable violation of the Constitution,” saying they could be subjected to impeachment for voting for the removal of Sereno. The magistrates of the high court “know very well” that impeachment was the only route to remove an impeachable officer, he added. His son, Hilario Davide 3rd, the LP provincial chairman and current governor of Cebu, owes his 2013 gubernatorial victory to the Yellow cult machinery—and chicanery. Not to be outdone, the party-list representative of Akbayan has revealed his plan to file impeachment complaints against the eight SC justices also for culpable violation of the Constitution.
