Solicitor General Agnes Devanadera is wrapping up her stint as top government barrister with a bang. Tipped to ‘ascend’ to the Suopreme Court, Devanadera delivered a sharp twit to the high tribunal for allegedly violating the separation of powers in declaring the Bangsamoro Juridical Entity ancestral domain agreement unconstitutional. Devanadera’s broadside reads like a preview [...]
