Respondents named in the consolidated petitions include Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla, DILG Secretary Juan Victor Remulla Jr., PNP chief Gen. Rommel Marbil, and CIDG chief Maj. Gen. Nicolas Torre III.
Other respondents include Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra, DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo, AFP chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr., former Immigration commissioner Norman Tansingco, PCTC executive director Antonio Alcantara, and Capt. Johnny Gulla.
The Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) will submit its reply to the SC on Monday, March 17, as the deadline falls on a weekend.
