MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court has junked the request of an independent senatorial candidate and Senator Teofisto Guingona III, asking the High Court to order Congress to pass an anti-political dynasty measure.
Lawyer Theodore Te, public information office chief of the SC, said the High Court en banc denied with finality the motion of Guingona and Ricardo Penson.
The two have earlier petitioned the SC to compel congress to enact an anti-dynasty law.
