Speaker Lord Allan Velasco has decided not to include in the Order of Business the impeachment case filed against Supreme Court Associate Justice Marvic Leonen, reportedly in deference to the Christma

s celebration.Reacting to a newspaper column of retired SC Justice Antonio J. Carpio, lawyer Larry Gadon, who represents complainant Edwin Cordevilla, disputed the former senior magistrate’s stand that Leonen did not violate the Constitution for sitting on cases for over 24 months.
