The Supreme Court has dismissed an administrative complaint against lawyer Manases Carpio, the husband of Vice President Sara Duterte, and another lawyer for lack of merit.
In a resolution dated June 1, the SC First Division dismissed the complaint against Carpio and lawyer Edgar Dennis Padernal which accused them of filing cases that were supposedly baseless and frivolous.
The Court said that the lawyers are allowed to report through all legal means to protect their clients, adding that the Code of Professional Responsibility “expects nothing less from lawyers of clients with legitimate grievances.”
