 Ibinasura ng Pasay City Regional Trial Court (RTC) ang petisyon ni
dating Comelec Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. na makalabas ng
bansa tungo sa Taiwan habang dinidinig ang kasong electoral
sabotage ukol sa dayaan noong 2007 Senatorial Elections.
Sabi ni Judge Jesus Mupas ng RTC Branch 112, walang sapat na
dahilan ang korte para magtungo si Abalos ng apat na araw sa
Taiwan na nagsabing bibili ng “fingerlings” ng bangus dahil sa mas
mura umano dito.
Paliwanag din ni Mupas na walang rason na nakikita ang korte
para umalis si Abalos dahil sapat naman ang supply ng bangus
“fingerlings” sa lokal na merkado.
Isinampa ni Abalos ang naturang mosyon noong Oktubre 18.
