MLA STANDARD: KIT TATAD
Nothing prevents the President, and anyone else, us included, from believing Padaca is innocent, and that the whole thing against her is nothing but politics. But the law does not allow the President to appoint anyone in office, who is facing a criminal charge in court. Therefore the President was acting in CULPABLE VIOLATION of the law when he made her "appointment." The constitution does not envisage anyone being nominated for any office while facing a criminal case, and using that nomination to claim immunity from an existing suit. That is the pickle the President has created for Padaca and for himself.
