Gadon called for the impeachment of then Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, a critic of President Rodrigo Duterte, over her alleged failure to be truthful in her statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth.
The Sereno camp dismissed the accusation.
He also criticized the Department of Health for scaring the public about COVID-19, claiming that the disease is curable.
He likewise lodged a petition before the Supreme Court to nullify Republic Act 6639 which renamed the Manila International Airport to Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
