In the theatre of absurdity that is contemporary politics, the question of disbarment for Atty. Glenn Chong and Atty. Harry Roque emerges like a farcical subplot.
Chong’s audacious declaration of wanting to slap First Lady Liza Marcos and Roque’s flirtation with joining prayer rallyists to storm Malacañang paint a vivid picture of legal professionals seemingly taking cues from a WWE script rather than the solemn halls of justice.
The irony is glaring: while Larry Gadon was disbarred for his expletive-laden tirades, the antics of Chong and Roque make Gadon’s outbursts seem like polite tea-time banter. One must ponder: do Chong’s hand-slapping aspirations and Roque’s revolutionary daydreams truly embody the ethical standards expected of legal practitioners?
In a world where decorum often takes a back seat to sensationalism, perhaps it’s time for the legal fraternity to reevaluate its criteria for disbarment. After all, if we’re barreling down the path of legal absurdity, why not make it a spectacle worth watching?
