Kiko “Meow Meow” Barzaga of Cavite, Lean Leviste of Batangas and Eli San Fernando of Kamanggagawa Party-list first seemed like a trio on fire. Kamanggagawa Rep. Eli San Fernando throws the least splash of the three. In initiating his attack on Recto, San Juan ignored the opinion of the Court and most of the legal community that the former’s action was in good faith. San Fernando, before launching his excessive call for prosecution/incarceration of Recto, ought to have read the Supreme Court ruling more carefully. Like his two other neophyte colleagues, San Juan gained no traction for his effort.
