Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said he will oppose any move to abolish the Court of Appeals that was created in 1936 by Commonwealth Act No. “We will oppose any move to abolish the CA [Court of Appeals] as it would affect the entire judicial system,” Drilon said. “I strongly advise Speaker Alvarez to respect and follow the judicial process by seeking legal remedies under the law,” he said. Pimentel stressed this point when asked in an interview over dwIZ whether Congress has the power to dissolve the appellate court. Theoretically, Speaker Alvarez is right.
