Court wants Badoy to explain posts vs judge

(UPDATE) THE Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered former National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-Elcac) spokesman Loraine Marie Badoy to show cause why she should not be cited in contempt for allegedly threatening Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 19 Judge Marlo Magdoza-Malagar.

The Supreme Court issued the order during its full court deliberations of the administrative case it initiated motu proprio on the statements made by Badoy. The high court gave the former NTF-Elcac a non-extendible period of 30 calendar days from the time the resolution is served on her.
