Cabatbat trusts Supreme Court, thanks farmers for support over election decision


Lawyer and former party-list representative Argel Cabatbat is hopeful the Supreme Court will honor the will of the farmers as he awaits the decision on his election.

“Malaki ang respeto at pagkilala natin sa galing at kakayanan ng ating hukuman. Tiwala tayong mananaig ang tama para sa magsasakang Pilipino,” the lawmaker said Tuesday in a statement.

In 2022, the Court issued a status quo ante order on a Commission on Elections decision to proclaim an illegitimate candidate as the Magsasaka party-list representative.

Cabatbat and farmers welcomed this act safeguarding their votes.

“Minsan nang nagdesisyon ang Korte para sa ating panig, at naniniwala ako na kikilalanin tayo bilang tunay na kinatawan ng magsasakang Pilipino,” said Cabatbat.

The lawmaker shared that despite not having a physical office, he hit the ground running to continue helping our farmers.

“Wala tayong sinayang na oras, dahil bawat araw, ipinaglalaban natin ang kaunlaran at karapatan ng mga magsasaka,” said Cabatbat.

He reminded his supporters to have faith in the justice system, and thanks them for the generous support.

“Nakakaantig po ang inyong suporta at ang hiling ko lang ay maging mahinahon po tayo sa ating panawagan. Maniwala po tayo sa integridad ng Korte Suprema, at sa prinsipyo mg ating mga hukom. Patuloy po tayong nagserserbisyo sa sektor ng agrikultura, at lahat ng ating pagkilos ay sinisigurado na maibabalik ang tunay na boses ng magsasaka sa Kongreso,” he added.
