Share TweetBy Hannah TorregozaDetained Senator Leila de Lima on Wednesday slammed Solicitor General Jose Calida for claiming that the filing of quo warranto proceedings against Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is an act of kindness, saying such move is an affront to the Senate and to the Filipino people. “It is pure hubris on the part of this Solicitor General, and an affront to our Senate for him to say that the Senate is an unjust institution,” De Lima said in a statement. “Because to demean the constitutionally appointed process of impeachment is to insult the Filipino people,” de Lima stressed.
