Gadon maghahain ng MR, tuloy bilang anti-poverty czar

MANILA, Philippines — Tiniyak ni Presidential Adviser for Poverty Alleviation Larry Gadon na hindi maaapektuhan ang kanyang trabaho bilang Presidential Adviser for Poverty Alleviation sa ipinataw na disbarment sa kanya ng Supreme Court (SC).

Sinabi ni Gadon na hindi niya kailangang maging abogado para magampanan ang trabaho na ibinigay sa kanya ni Pangulong Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

“The position and the task given to me by the President do not require lawyering hence my suspension and disbarment have no effect on my appointment,” ani Gadon.

Ituturing niya ang isyu bilang isang personal concern at maghahain siya ng motion for reconsideration.

“I will just approach this issue on a personal concern, file a motion for reconsideration and proceed in facing the challenges of the job and aim to serve the public in my best capability,” sabi ni Gadon.

Si Gadon ay na-disbar ng SC dahil sa pagmumura at sa kanyang mga bastos na pananalita laban sa mamamahayag na si Raissa Robles. Inilarawan ng SC ang kanyang aksyon, na nai-record ng video, bilang “indisputably scandalous that it discredits the legal profession.”

Anya, ngayon ay may bago siyang mandato at magsisilbi siya bilang kalihim at hindi abogado.

“Thousand lawyers do not practice their profession and are not even renewing anymore their IBP IDs or paying their membership dues because they are busy in other much lucrative ventures or higher paying jobs, or simply because they are now retired and just opted to enjoy their retirement and live a quiet, abundant, luxurious life,” ani Gadon.
