If an invitation is declined, he does not think the Senate should compel them to attend the hearing through a subpoena, he believes.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cAs part of interdepartmental courtesy, to me, we should stop at invitation, and if they will not appear, let us leave it at that. Let us not force it,\u201d Drilon said.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not in favor of using the coercive process of the Senate investigation to compel the attendance of these justices,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n<p>He noted that the Senate had also sent an invitation to Vice President Jejomar Binay to appear in the Blue Ribbon subcommittee probe looking into alleged irregularities in Makati City during his three terms as mayor.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Vice President declined the invitation of the panel, which his camp had criticized for supposedly leading a farce that was intended to bring down his chances in the 2016 elections.<\/p>\n\n<p>The subcommittee did not issue a subpoena for the Vice President after he turned down the invite.<\/p>\n\n<p>Drilon had said at the time that he would not issue a subpoena if one was sought as a matter of respect for the Vice President\u2019s office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Court of Appeals justices could be invited to a Senate hearing on alleged corruption in the judiciary, they should not be forced to appear if they do not wish to do so, according to Senate President Franklin Drilon.
