“From the very start, there is no legal impediment to the implementation of the warrant of arrest against Bato Dela Rosa. The Supreme Court’s denial of the application for injunctive relief confirms that the warrant of arrest can be validly enforced in the Philippines.”
“The denial of Dela Rosa’s application for injunctive relief means that he has no clear and unmistakable legal right to be protected to justify the issuance of a restraining order/injunction. By necessary implication, this is a recognition that the government has the discretion and the authority to enforce the warrant in accordance with International Law, and in accordance with its legal and constitutional mandate.” — National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers President Atty. Ephraim Cortez
