Aquino III
G.R. No. 193978 February 28, 2012
Facts:
3. This led the senate to issue Resolution No. 17 s. 2010, urging the
President to order the immediate suspension of the unusually large
and excessive allowances, bonuses, incentives and other perks of
members of the governing boards of GOCC’s and GFIs.
Issue:
Whether or not Jelbert Galicto has a locus standi to file this petition
before the court.
Ruling:
NO. The petitioner cannot claim legal stance because he is simply
concerned about his entitlement to future salaries. His membership of
Philippine Bar and a PhilHealth official does not suffice to clothe his legal
standing. Thus, Petitioner failed to satisfy irreducible minimum condition to
trigger the exercise of judicial power.
