Abad is the frontline RH law buster while Justices Teresita de Castro and Jose Perez look like a back-up duo although they are civil and far less strident.
Since the third round of oral arguments, when Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza opened the arguments for the RH law, Abad never seemed satisfied with any of the answers of the pro-RH law counsels.
