The Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Menardo Guevarra has challenged any official
or resident of Capas, Tarlac with interest in business, tourism, investment, or
health may file a complaint before the courts to question the use of the
Southeast Asian Games athletes’ village in the province as quarantine
facilities amid the 2019 novel coronavirus threat.
"The court will weigh their private or
community interests against the wider public health and social welfare
considerations. In the law on injunctions, this is known as the doctrine of
relative inconvenience," Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said.
The Justice Secretary explains that a directive
from the national government through the Department of Health takes precedence
over the interest of the local government unit of Capas, it will be up to the
judiciary whether to uphold any objections against the national government.
