SEN. Bong Go called on the Supreme Court to resolve legal uncertainties surrounding extraordinary rendition. Go made the call as he expressed support for Senate Resolution (SR) 307 during plenary deliberations Tuesday. SR 307 seeks to express the sense of the Senate to uphold constitutional safeguards and protect Filipinos from being surrendered to foreign jurisdictions without strict adherence to due process and constitutional requirements. Senate resolutions expressing the “sense of the Senate” do not have the force of law but reflect the chamber’s collective position on key issues. Speaking during his co-sponsorship of the measure, Go pointed to what he called “gray areas” in the rules on extradition proceedings issued by the high court in 2025, particularly in relation to state-to-state extradition requests. He emphasized the need for the judiciary to settle pending petitions to provide clarity for all branches of government. “We call it co-equal branches here — executive, legislative, and judiciary. And the executive may implement, and it is possible that the legislative will be affected. So once and for all, I hope the judiciary will put an end to this, because they are the final arbiter and can decide that,” Go said. The senator underscored that calls for clearer constitutional safeguards should not be interpreted as an attempt to evade accountability. He stressed that public officials must be allowed to continue performing their duties while legal questions are resolved in accordance with the law. Go has been mentioned in International Criminal Court proceedings on alleged crimes against humanity by his close ally, former president Rodrigo Duterte. “All we want is to make sure that every Filipino is protected and that everyone goes through due process. They are asking me questions; I work Monday to Sunday. And I can’t stand sitting in a cold office while our countrymen need help; that’s our sworn duty,” he said.
