Faculty members of the University of the Philippines (UP) College of Law on Monday called on the House of Representatives to dismiss the "baseless" impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen.
A former UP Law dean, Leonen faces an impeachment complaint over his alleged delay in resolving cases and his alleged failure to file his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth for years when he taught at the college.
In a statement, his former colleagues at the law school expressed support for Leonen, whom they said has been targeted "because he dares to uphold the laws and procedures that try to safeguard our electoral processes against the whims and the abuses of those seeking greater political power."
