The Supreme Court (SC) asked lawmakers yesterday to wait for its final ruling on Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez’s plea to stop her impeachment before setting into motion any procedure to oust her.The SC made the call in response to a declaration by House justice committee chairman Rep. Neil Tupas Jr. that they would immediately start the impeachment process against Gutierrez after the High Court’s rejection of her bid to stop the procedure.
