In Re Del Castillo Plagiarism Controversy (Part I) : The October 12, 2010 Per Curiam Decision

Yesterday’s issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer carried the headline House body tightens noose on SC justice.” It was reported that the House committee on justice voted 40-7 last Wednesday to declare the long-pending impeachment complaint against Supreme Court Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo sufficient in substance. Justice del Castillo was purportedly given 10 days from Wednesday to answer the complaint. [This is INACCURATE. The 10 days is counted from receipt of the formal notice from the committee.]
