MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court will hold an online full court session, its first in history, on April 17, Friday, its spokesman said on Wednesday. SC spokesman Brian Hosaka told reporters that En banc Clerk of Court Edgar Aricheta confirmed that an en banc session will be held on Friday. A private lawyer also sought the issuance of a writ of mandamus to compel the Office of the President to release President Rodrigo Duterte’s latest health bulletin. It is also unclear whether the SC will touch on Solicitor General Jose Calida’s quo warranto petition against the legislative franchise of ABS-CBN. The tribunal was set to discuss Calida’s petition on April 14, the start of its summer session but this has since been cancelled.
