High court reverses itself, upholds cityhood laws.
Byline: Ira P. Pedrasa
The Supreme Court has reversed itself on laws converting the status of several municipalities into cities, and upholding congressional prerogative on the matter.
In a 35-page decision penned by Associate Justice Presbitero J. Velasco, Jr. that declared the so-called cityhood laws constitutional, the high court sided with the second appeal of 16 municipalities whose first motion for reconsideration was denied more than a year ago.
Associate Justice Antonio T. Carpio penned the original decision on Nov. 18, 2008 that upheld the petition of the League of Cities of the Philippines to declare the 16 cityhood laws as unconstitutional.
