Law professors have joined the call for the Supreme Court to take more action against the red-tagging of Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 19 Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar.
According to the SC Public Information Office, the court en banc has discussed "possible actions" over statements "made by a certain Lorraine Badoy containing threats against Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar".
“To threaten members of the judiciary is to ‘sow fear’ at a ‘critical element’ of the legal system. Broadcasts and posts showcasing those who verbally assault judges encourages the public to do the same. If judges can be treated disdainfully without consequence, the rule of law becomes a hollow promise."
