Practice question
After Calleja, an agency relies solely on the invalidated second mode in Section25: adopting a designation request from another jurisdiction under that struck provision. It argues that the original printed statute controls despite the judgment. Which is best?
- The printed statute overrides the final constitutional ruling
- Every foreign accusation is automatically a Philippine criminal conviction
- Invalidation of that mode necessarily erased all remaining sections
- The invalidated foreign-request designation mode cannot be treated as operative merely because it remains in an old printed text
- A private newspaper may restore the provision
