SMNI anchor detained by House panel, calls committee 'kangaroo court' | ABS-CBN News

The House Committee on Legislative Franchises on Tuesday (December 5) cited in contempt and ordered the detention of SMNI anchor Jeffrey Celiz, after he refused to name his source in accusing Speaker Martin Romualdez of spending P1.8 billion in travel funds in one year.
During the panel hearing, Celiz repeatedly invoked his right not to answer any question from the lawmakers, leading to an explosive argument with committee members and the motion to cite him in contempt.
The committee later approved the motion to detain Celiz within the premises of the House of Representatives "until the adoption of the committee report at the plenary."
Just before he was escorted out of the hearing, Celiz called the committee a "kangaroo court" with his fist raised.

Sec. 11 of the Rules should be questioned in the Supreme Court as unconstitional for being arbitrary, whimsical and abuse of discretion, onerous or self serving and therefore invalid. This action is not violative of separation of powers because the Supreme Court is the sole interpreter of laws, rules or regulations. It’s a basic constitutional precepts that any rules promulgated by any government body should not violate the constitution. Here, the rule clearly violate the constitutional rights of a resource person. Another thing,: In many democratic jurisdictions around the globe, if an inquiry tends to lean towards being accusatory, the right to counsel attaches.

Ka Eric is well informed and appears to be more knowledgeable than the committee. However, because the committee's rules will be respected, even if they are not in compliance with the specified provision of the constitution, only the court can hold him in contempt.

[@papacho-ee9ej]

Dapat itong mga congressman na ito ang tumakbong senador sa 2025!

[@user-yw6dq1fw6s]

As the Zeal of Congress is leaning down so as all the representatives is falling down.

[@arkeytech2ra]

Korek

[@tinkerdecastro4015]

London bridge is falling down like Celis.

[@meiyowente]

we don't forget that celis is spreading fake news and now he is calling for the right of expression or he is actually looking for the right of deception?

[@yokitomejillano8060]

What leaning down1 are u talking about?

[@revepartosa991]

[@wilfredoramos1750]

Lahat sila kontra sa isa, malinaw ang ginagawa nila ang pagkaisahan ka para madiin ka. Bakit pag sila ang natatanong sa kontrobersya nagkakaisa sila. Kung ano yon gusto nila yon ang masusunod. Hindi ka makapangatwiran dahil kung maiba ka sa gusto nila iko contempt ka. Hindi ba yan ang tinatawag na pangaabuso sa kapangyarihan nila?

[@conanspence]

The Public has the right to voice their opinion. It is the public that pays your salary congressmen through taxes they pay. Remember that.

[@evangelinelopez9988]

Right mukhang nakalimutan nila

[@osangbautista565]

We are paying our taxes and they are corrupting it

[@deahmsali]

Voicing ur opinion should be done with respect and within the boundary of what the law allows. You cannot just spread rumors and not been able to prove if ur rumor is truthful or not. Smni withbadoy and celiz must learn they lessons well. Respect the authority and do not peddle fake news esp to one of the major institutions of our Country. It could result to national security alert since the credibility, integrity and reputation of the state is put in peril.

[@mangwuwu2215]

[@redtruth1804]

As if he is still a member of the group he'd like to wipe out,raising his hands like that

[@memengmemeng5349]

Erick is right in saying that the congress is a KANGAROO COURT. I'm a simple person but i know that the life of Erick's source will be put in danger if he reveals who is he. This, is very simple to understand. That's why I'm in favor of what's Erick saying that the PHILIPPINE CONGRESS IS A KANGAROO COURT. Yes, definitely...

[@romeobernaldez7631]

Mabuhay kayo ka erik , alams na

[@benildobaja9388]

I can see a group of powerful Kangaroos forcefully trying to make Ka Eric to reveal his secret source of info. But the defendant is smarter so the only thing they can do is place him in contempt. I'm interested to see the outcome of this case when the Supreme Court gets involved.

[@AnonymousChannelTV]

Puro fake news kasi kaya dapat wag na palayain

[@user-ns2eh5ct8u]

[@markowen7255]

Very Good decision. From the viewers , the only issue here are the noise coming from the audience and those people kept on walking behind the chairman of the committee. It is DISTURBING!

[@crisespinoza854]

I was about to say the same. Then nagtagalog nung nagalit si Congressman in black. Funny, how hes trying hard to reprimand in Eglish, nakow. Waste of resources pipol. Do something else.
