President Rodrigo Duterte on Tuesday vetoed the budget cut on the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) forensics laboratory that was inserted by Senators Franklin Drilon and Juan Edgard “Sonny” Angara.
PAO Chief Persida Rueda-Acosta thanked the President for the veto, saying it retained the rights of indigents to gain access to free legal and medical services.
Duterte “has saved the 13 million clients [of PAO] from the ill-motives of the authors of such inserted rider that undermines the human rights and due process clause of the constitution,” Rueda-Acosta said in a statement.
Rueda-Acosta had accused Drilon and Angara of disrespecting the President by “illegally” inserting a provision in the 2021 budget that would effectively dissolve the laboratory.
