Application of the Law (Bill of Rights Sec. 1) Case#2: Congressman Peter Genuino, a Filipino citizen, has been accused of
tax evasion and investigated for dealing prohibited drugs in the United
States of America. He is currently residing in the Philippines so that he can
pursue his alleged illegal business and his seat in congress as a convenient
cover. In this regard, the United States government requested for the
extradition of Congressman Genuino from the Philippine government so he
will be investigated under U. S. jurisdiction. Pending the evaluation of his
extradition, Congressman Genuino demanded for his extradition papers
from the U. S. government through the Philippine government so that he can
already file his opposition in the Philippine courts without the need of being
extradited to the U. S. The Philippine government, with the concurrence of
the American government, refused to provide Congressman Genuino with:
the extradition papers. In this situation, is Congressman Genuino already
deprived of his right to due process"?
