To further address the “chilling” rise in the incidents of extrajudicial killings and involuntary disappearances, the Supreme Court yesterday said it is studying the issuances of the writ of habeas data to uphold the people’s “right to truth.”
Chief Justice Reynato Puno said the writ of habeas data will be effective alongside the enforcement of the still to be implemented writ of amparo, which will deny authorities the defense of simple denial when they are sued to produce before the courts the bodies of victims of involuntary disappearances (writ of habeas corpus).
The use of the writ of habeas data, he said, has been proven effective in solving problems of enforced disappearances in Latin American countries like Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador.
The writ can also be used by any citizen against any governmental agency to find out what information is being held about his or her person.
“This is the right to know what types of data about an individual are stored on manual and automatic databases, and it demands that there must be transparency on the gathering and processing of such data,” Puno said.
“The exercise of the right to truth will expose all the falsehoods, all the fabrications that public authorities and private persons usually put up to evade responsibility in cases of extralegal killings and involuntary disappearances,” Puno said in a speech at the Siliman University in Dumaguete City.
Last July, the tribunal held a two-day National Consultative Summit on Extrajudicial Killings and Enforced Disappearances where various recommendations were made to address the problem.
Among the recommendations was the adoption of writ of amparo, which is now being implemented in Latin American countries, to protect the constitutional rights of the people from abuses.
At present, relatives of victims of forced disappearances can avail only of the writ of habeas corpus as a legal remedy to compel authorities to present before the court the victims. – Evangeline de Vera
Ganun naman pala at merong pangil na writ of habeas data at writ of amparo, dalian ninyo na gawin epektibo ang mga ito at baka sakaling makita pa nating buhay si Jayjay Burgos at ilang biktima ng involuntary disappearances.
Masyado ng matagal ang paghihintay ng mga pamilya ng mga biktima na magkaroon ng hustisya ang pagkawala ng kanilang mga mahal sa buhay.
The use of the writ of habeas data, he said, has been proven effective in solving problems of enforced disappearances in Latin American countries like Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, Argentina and Ecuador.

These countries are third worlds and yet they have the writ of habeas data.
Pinas, which Gloria is hallucinating to make it join the first worlds in a couple of years, is still in the talking stage. Huli man daw at magaling basta ipatupad kaagad.
Huli sa lahat ang Pinas except sa corruption ng mga Pidal.
Style na ng mga bulok na military like Jovito ‘Berdugo’ Palparan ang mag-abduct ng mga civilians and then later ay ilalabas para ‘mag-witness’ laban sa mga sinasabing ‘kaaway’ ng gobyerno. Siyempre obvious na under threat ang mga ito para gumawa ng mga (false)’affidavits’ at statements. Minsan ay hawak pa ang mga miyembro ng pamilya para sundin ang kanilang ipinagagawa. Katulad ng kay Doble. At ngayon ay yung mga ‘witness’ daw sa pagdukot kay Burgos. These hoodlums should be sued in the International Court of Law against human abuses. Bitayin tulad ni Saddam!
Chi:
What ordinary laymen do not know in fact is that there are written and unwritten laws that can be the basis of whatever a judge of a court may offer and pass judgment on issues not clearly defined by law. Any good lawyer is aware of this regardless of country of origin.
Now, this is not the case in the Philippines because of the lack of the rule of law since the lawbreaker and her cahoots took the reins of government, and run the country like hell.
Tama ka, dahil sa mga Pidal, lalong naging backward ang Pilipinas. Ang pinakahibang in fact are the recent claims of this clan that they own the whole Philippines like the case submitted to the court by Homobono Adaza about some family related to the Pidals claiming that the Americans borrowed money from them when they bought the Philippines from Spain but never got reimbursed, thus, they own the whole Philippines.
Ang tapang ng apog di ba? Bakit ngayon lang nagke-claim. Bakit hindi noong ibigay ng Tate ang independence ng Pilipinas. Dapat diyan ibasura ng korteng sinasampahan ng kasong ito na you bet is nothing but the usual landgrabbing. Iyan ang trabaho nila as in granting ancestral domain to the MILF! Stupid is as stupid does.
Sabi ng mga hibang, sila ang may-ari ng Pilipinas and anything in it. Kaya pag-aari din nila ang mga pilipino and that give them every right siguro to do what they want to them like pimp them overseas, tagging them with fancy names as super maid-tech, etc. Puede din ipa-kidnap at patayin ng military! Kaya, bakit ako uuwi doon when I can do more where I am para ilaban ang mga tao doon na walang kalaban-laban?!
Yuko,
I’d really like these rights to truth be implemented ASAP for the sakes of the innocents who were kidnapped by the usual suspects.
Meron akong kalaro noong araw na ang tagal ko nang hindi nakikita. When I visited Pinas the last time, I asked her parents about my playmate’s whereabouts. Matagal na raw “nawala” habang tahimik na nagtatrabaho sa pabrika sa Limay, Bataan. Tinukoy ng mga saksi na militar ang kumuha, hanggang doon na lang at dahil “isang kahig, isang tuka” ang pamilya ay tinanggap na lang na ang kanilang anak ay patay na.
Kaya ang safehouse sa Limay ay dapat ipa-raid ng SC. Ang dami diyang itinatago! Siguro ay dapat tuunan ng pansin ni Aling Edith ang lugar na iyan. Ang Abucay ay “libingan”, ang Limay ay “taguan”!
So far, okay naman ang pamamalakad ni Chief Justice Puno kung ikumpara sa dating Davide. Ngayon ay Punong-Puno ng pag-asa ang Pinakamataas na Hukuman ng bansa. Sa mga pahayag ni Puno sa media at public speech niya, halata natin na medyo may prinsipyo at konsiyensia si Puno. Nasaan na ba si Davide? Hindi pa nga na confirm ang appointment niya nagtratrabaho na sa UN. Si Davide ang siyang pinakawalanghiyang Chief Justice ng SC sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.
Chi:
Ang dami ko ring first hand info on these extra-judicial killings and kidnappings. Meron akong compilation ng mga documents na ginawa ng mga NGO dito na nagtitiyagang pumunta sa Pilipinas to get the bare facts na isina-submit namin sa Diet, etc.
I serve as a translator lalo na ng mga documents na nakasulat sa Tagalog, etc. dahil believe you me, may mga polyetong panakot na ginagawa ang military na ipinapaalam pa kung sino ang susunod na dudukutin nila to Kingdom Come. Ang problema, iyong kikidnapin at isa-salvage (sa kanila ko nga unang narinig ito to mean the opposite of what it originally meant in English) ay mga walang pera para makapunta sa malayo para magtago!
Isa sa mga kasama ko in fact nasaksihan ang pagdukot doon sa isang activist sa Pangasinan who led the movement against the construction of a dam there with the use of Japanese ODA. Sa pagtakas nila, natibo siya at na-infection ang kaniyang paa. Gangrene ang labas, pero buti na lang nakauwi agad sa Japan, at dito na ipina-opera ang paa. Muntik nang ma-amputate pero buti na lang dito naman ay hindi mahilig mamutol ng paa, etc.
Buti naman kung talagang serious si SC Judge Puno sa paghanap ng katotohanan tungkol sa mga patayang ito at pagbibigay ng hustisya sa mga biktima na sabi nga, “And the Lord said: What hast thou done? The voice of thy brother’s blood cries unto me from the ground.” (Gen. 4: 10; Moses 5: 35)
So far, sa probinsiya naman namin, Chi, tahimik. Doon sa hometown ng mother ko, halos lahat kasi magkakamag-anak at sa palagay ko naman ay hindi sakop ng mga NPA. Kung sabagay, matatapang kasi ang mga tao doon at hindi masyadong open sa mga outsiders lalo na iyong mga considered na mga salot. Si unano nga never heard kong nakapunta sa probinsiya ng mother ko kahit na sipsip si Alban sa kaniya. Bawal kasi ang mga kabalen ni Dadong doon.
Regionalism? You bet, hindi pa iyan tuluyang naaalis!
So far, wala pa akong nabalitaang kamag-anak namin na naging victim ng mga extrajudicial killing na ito.
So far, ang layo naman. Manang, gaya-gaya ka naman sa “so far” ko. May mga probinsiyang tahimik at magulo tulad ng mga siudad kahit saan. Nasa nagpapatakbo ng bayan iyan. Tulad na lang ang Pampanga sa kamay ni Gov. Fr, Panlilio ngayon. Please read Tony Abaya’s article:
“We hope we are witnessing what will be a sustained revolution in good governance in the Province of Pampanga, under its newly elected governor, Fr. Ed Panlilio.
According to the Philippine Daily Inquirer of August 26, only one month after Fr. Panlilio assumed his gubernatorial duties, the province’s income from the quarrying of volcanic ash from Mount Pinatubo had reached P29.4 million. (Haulers pay a fee of P300 per truck of volcanic ash that they haul from the quarry.)
By contrast, during his predecessor Mark Lapid’s term as governor, the province’s income from the same quarrying operations amounted to only P29 million a year.”
Tama iyong quote from Eupirides (425 B. C.), “Whom God wishes to destroy he first turns mad.” In Greek, it is “Quos (or Quem) deus vult perdere prius dementate.”
Sa kadadaya ng mga ungas, at katatago ng mga baho nila, naipon ang amoy at umalingasaw! Now, we’ll see if Filipinos can still bear the pungent smell of this regime.
Breach of public trust ang ginagawa ni Abalos. Bakit hindi iyan sinisibak? Gosh, nakakasuka ang katwiran. Read the article in Malaya titled: “What’s wrong with ZTE
execs as golf pals? Abalos.” http://www.malaya.com.ph/aug31/
Ang kapal! Bow-wow-wow! Dugong-aso din!
Saan si Davide? Dito sa New York City..hindi pa nga siya na appoint nangdito na agad..mabilis pa sa Concord..Salamat na lang mahina ang mata ko, hindi ko siya nakita noong may conference sa UN noong March.
So far..and kailan pa man hindi hindi matatakot ang mga dito sa Ellenville nobody can afraid them far far away.
So far- tahimik sa amin sa Antique..far, far away kasi.
Rose:
Alam ko nasa NYC na si Davide even when he was not confirmed to be the permanent ambassador to the UN (Iyan ba ang rank niya?). Bantayan ninyo ang gastos niyan gaya noong Consul General sa NYC na posh ang apartment paid with taxpayers’ money.
Dito sa Japan, may bahay nang available at hindi na kailangang umupa ng ambassador, but for some reason, gustong ibenta ng mag-asawang Pidal at papaupahin na lang ng flat ang ambassador—taga na naman sa bulsa ng mga pilipino! Tindi!
Dapat iyan binabatikos ng media sa Philippines. Kaso si Ellen, Lito Banayo, Herman T. Liu and a handful lang ang bumibira sa mga anomalya. Hindi nga sila makakaugaga.
Kaya, sige arya, batikos sa mga ungas dito sa blog ni Ellen including iyong mga piating yawang intruders!
Yuko: I attended a conference last March at the UN as a rep of the Third World Movement Against the Exploitation of Women, and the Phil. attendees were sked to meet with him as the new Ambassador..hindi ako pumunta at ang sabi ko masakit ang ulo ko. allergic kasi ako sa mga tauhan ng adm. The other time Willie Gaa dropped by at our meeting of the Iloilo Society but had to leave before he came. Kasi magkodakay kuno..I attend some events sponsored by the Consulate and I have had the chance of meeting the Con Gen. Posh nga daw ang apt. niya. Ang pagkakila nila sa akin ay ang married name ko..(but now that my husband had died) I more often use my maiden name..at pihado ko na tatanungin ako na “how are you related to..” I am proud of my cousin.Malaki talaga ang gastos ng gobierno sa mga garbo nila..
Hanggang ngayon hindi pa nakikita si Jayjay at yong mga UP coeds..ano gusto nila evidence na ipalabas ang bangkay ng mga ito..Yuko, may itanong pala si Maceda..”What are the Alumni of UP” doing about ni case of the two coeds who I understand two witnesses saw being with the military? It was in the news a while back.
correction..may itinatanong pala si Maceda..
Tita Rose,
Nabasa mo ba yung pinajunk ng doj yung petition ni Sen.Trillanes…lufet ng dating …as in ang “babaw” ng reason..parang konsensyahin pa si Sen.Trillanes sa mababaw na rason..”He said there are other individuals charged with non-bailable offenses and who do not enjoy “special treatment,” adding that Trillanes need only to look at the rest of his co-detainees at the Marine brig in Fort Bonifacio.”
Yup, iyan din ang tanong ko, Rose? As far as I am concerned, I am with the AI in Japan lobbying for Japanese politician’s support against the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. The other one or two Filipinos we were able tag along do not belong to the UPAA in Japan.
I moderate an egroup for our UPAA in Japan, and have been posting notes on this issue, but no respond. One or two has also joined our movement for the preservation of Philippine patrimonies in Japan, and save them from being squandered by the greedy couple.
I read that article of Maceda in Tribune. He mentioned that the greedy woman was an alumni of UP just because she got a doctorate in Economics from there, but even that was faked I am told.
Everybody there knows that some UP president granted her a doctorate that is more like honoris causa in exchange for something. In short, peke din ang diploma!!! 😛 Wala na bang totoong ginawa ang kumag?
Depressing nga when one hears of these sonabagan UP alumni messing up the affairs of the Philippines. Buti na lang nagkaroon ako ng isa pang alumni association membership. May legitimate ID pa. But wait, meron din isang ungas doon. Si Bill Clinton!
Insubordination is not unbailable in other countries. Disciplinary action lang, I am told as in the case of soldiers in Israel who refuse to follow bad orders.
Ang problema kasi doon sa nangyari sa Magdalo ay hindi sila sinamahan ng mga taumbayan like what for instance the Thailanders did when the military staged a coup to remove Thaksin. Naunahan kasi sila ng propaganda sa TV. Pati mga asawa, et al nga nila kinuha para i-convince silang magbalik sa barracks. Niloko pa ang mga leaders nila into giving up without a fight!
Iyong naman tungkol sa kaso nina Querubin, wala namang threat sa mga tao kundi sa unano lang. Kaya bakit taon ang itinatagal nila sa detention?
Over in more progressive societies minamdali iyan kasi malaki ang ibabayad ng gobyerno for backpays not actually really served but paid more as indemnity, etc.for injustice committed and undeserved!
Golly, pag walang nagawa sa mga kaso nila, proof iyan na talagang walang democracy sa Pilipinas, for the way we understand democracy over here is that it is a government FOR, OF and BY the people!!!
In fact, iyong kilos noong may sakit sa kidney na hindi confirmed will be enough ground for sucking and putting him in jail for abuse of power! Ang taumbayan ang masusunod hindi siya, not even the judge of the court, who should abide by the mandate and wishes of the 11M Filipinos who voted for Senator Trillanes.
Supposedly, may discretion iyong judge to pass and offer judgment in favor of the people, pero corrupt din ba?
Puede ba, huwag sayangin ang boto ng mga pilipino at talents and abilities ng isang tunay na public servant na tulad ni Sonny, ang magiting na sundalo at bayani sambayanang pilipino? Tama na, sobra na. Patalsikin Na, Now Na!
Rose, Yuko,
UP Diliman, once again, is in deep mourning. A graduating College of Public Administration student was killed in a frat hazing. The senior, a neophyte recruit of Sigma Rho Fraternity, whose members include senators Frank Drilon, Ed Angara, and Juan Ponce-Enrile, probably hoped to join the elite roster of proud fraternity brothers who are political biggies. But, look again!
Me, I’m just one proud babarian.
TT,
brad pala sila Angara at Enrile? ngayon ko lang nalaman…kaya pala as in close sila…broder pala sa Sigma!
Sila ang dating may ari ng Pilipinas?..maselan na nga ang sakit..baka Phil. monopoly ang ibig niyang sabihin..pero wari doon sa monopoly nila wala yong Go to Jail…
Tongue: Way back when my friends and I went swimming sa Officers Club House sa Fort Bonifacio..I had witnessed a hazing rites of some UP neophytes at the club house. I guess my malakas na master sa groupo kaya doon ginawa..It was so brutal for us to witness that my friend told the group to stop it as there were other people..grabe! Ang Sigma ba ay may code of (this honor that they say?)
Yuko: Was she given this honoris causa while unang inagaw ang presidency? Or was that prior noong VP siya or senator? Anong ginawa niya to be worthy of what I thought was a prestigious award. Bumaba na ba ang standard ng UP? I am not a Clinton fan..kay Barack ako…
Chi: may pinsan ako na na salvage during Marcos time..a student at UP at the time. Nobody knew what happened to him. One story I was told was pinatay daw siya ng NPA sa San Remigio, Antique. I can’t believe this because ang Lolo ng batang ito is called “The Grand Old Man of Sn. Remigio. The family just prayed for him.
Chi: Pahabol..kung sinabi pa sa akin na kinuha siya ng tumawo, sa Antique..di ok.
Gokusen: Malala talaga ang sakit ng ulo of this doj..why he is still around..only GMA can answer. Pero mas malaking sakit sa ulo siya ng mga Filipinos na nagmamahal sa sariling bayan.
gokusen: malaki talaga ang takot nila kay Sen. Trillanes..I hope tawagin siya ni Sen. Lacson..at sana itelevise ang investigation. Wala akong Filipino channel pero mangangapit bahay ako.
So, may hazing case na naman ha. Kawawa naman ang mga magulang na nag-sacrifice ng husto para sa anak nila. Sayang ang ginastos nila.
Those students who did it should be made legally responsible for such murderous act. Iyong mga leaders din dapat maparusahan.
I joined a group in UP as a matter of fact, but I quit after the induction. Isinumpa ko iyong hazing that I was made to go through. It was unnecessary to taste loyalty as a matter of fact. Payabang lang as a matter of fact!
Rose,
I’ll drive to VA, doon sa pinsan ko na may Pinoy channel ako manonood.
Isa pa, meron na militant well-loved head teacher sa bayan namin na nawala rin basta, hindi na nakita. Iyong pinsan ko ay nakatakas at nasa SF ngayon. Sus, hindi namin alam ang mga kasalanan nila except na tulad ni Jayjay ay nagtuturo ng tamang pagsasaka.
Rose:
I am not sure kung sino ang nag-grant ng doctorate sa unano, kung si Angara o Abueva na parehong sipsip sa kaniya but the dissertation paper was said to be a rehash of the father’s old term paper na pihadong cut and paste din! 😛
Rose, Chi:
Ang alam ko infiltrated ang group ni Joma during the Martial Law. Iyong pag-kidnap sa mga nawawala na hindi na nakita pihadong trabaho ni Tabako and his men na walang kinalaman si Marcos, or biktima din ng labo-labo sa group ni Joma. Ang alam ko nagpatayan pa nga sila sa Mindanao. At least, this is what I heard from a member of their group who has since left the party na based na ngayon sa Japan.
I get to know them here because I have a friend from the Communist Party of Japan who often requests me to act as interpreter when they have visitors from abroad especially kung pilipino.
As I have stated previously, I am not a Communist. I consider myself more as a Socialist although I shuffle between supporting the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the Democratic Party of Japan (Minshuto) comes election time.
“SC eyes ‘right to truth’ writ”
unang basa ko: “SC eyes ‘right to truth’ TWIT”.
baliktad kasi ang salamin ko!
SC eyes ‘right to truth’ writ
This is how it is in a first world country — Freedom of information (FOI) laws benefit both the public and the government, although governments are sometimes reluctant to adopt them, says William Ferroggiaro, a Washington-based writer and consultant with more than 15 years of experience as an advocate for government accountability.
In the United States, the Freedom of Information Act ensures the public’s right to access U.S. government records and is an important component of ensuring the government’s accountability to the people it serves, Read more – http://usinfo.state.gov/xarchives/display.html?p=washfile-english&y=2006&m=December&x=20061214160102ajesrom0.1726038
Ferroggiaro says “Information is the lifeblood of democracy, and we must remain forever vigilant to protect that right.”
Thank goodness we still have strong journalist.
If Chief Justice Puno true to his words that he will apply the writ of Amparo,Kudos Senior! The fight in court will be Amparo vs Arroyo. If Puno is concerned with the protection of individual fundamental rights, the basic difference is that habeas corpus primarily guarantees individual freedom whereas the writ of amparo guarantees all fundamental rights. Both writs are similar in the sense that they protect individuals in their fundamental rights from arbitrary acts of government. habeas corpus and unconstitutionality in concrete cases require a direct interest in order to have standing. This is either by invoking an injury or a threat of an injury to individual rights .An injury occurs in any case in which the law or application of the law imposes an immediate, direct and personal obligation that abrogates or modifies rights legally vested in the person of the complainant the law or application of the law is because these procedures require an arbitrary act, but the unconstitutionality in concrete cases refers to the constitutionality of laws. Therefore it is through the application of a law in which an authority bases its act or decision that an infringement of constitutional right is derived.
Writ of Amparo, is to protect the rights and freedoms protected by the Constitution.It can be filed by the offended against all disposition, act or resolution of the public administration that violates or tries to violate his rights or freedoms protected by the Constitution. Writ of Habeas Corpus is to protect specifically the right to personal freedom.It can be filed in favor of the offended by any citizen against the responsible authority.
Amparo vs. Arroyo ang laban ha, Cocoy?
Dito na ako kay Amparing, sucessful daw sa mga poor Latin countries. Ang deprensya, walang pekeng presidente sa mga nabanggit na mga bansa kaya malakas ang kanilang mga batas. Sa Pinas ay puro “butas” ang pinagkakaabalahan ni Arroyo!
Off-topic, but Malaya’s banner says, ” Gonzalez goes on vacation.”
Maniwala kayong magbabakasyon lang ang ungas. Naghihintay iyan ng donor doon sa Baseco where patients in that kidney center usually get their kidneys according to news broadcasts I have been translating for news flashes here. Sana hindi tanggapin ng katawan niya at matepok na siya.
Opps, am I being unkind? But as the old adage says, “You have to be cruel to be kind!”
BTW, what is this stupidity about asking US help in prosecuting Joma Sison? Hindi ba naiinsulto ang mga hukom, et al sa Pilipinas that the US ambassador to the Philippines would even make such insinuation that Filipino prosecutors are incompetent that they would be needing US help?
Joma Sison is a domestic problem of the Philippines. He is not America’s problem since so far, we have not heard of any international terrorism that his group has done. Iyong ngang Japanese Red Army na nagbomba ng airport sa Tel Aviv in the 70’s hindi humingi ng tulong ang Japan sa US but coordinated with the Israeli police and the Interpol to apprehend them. Siguro ang involvement lang nina Joma ay iyong pagbibigay ng Philippine passport sa Japanese Red Army member, and nothing more! Kaya bakit makikialam na naman ang mga kano?
It’s time Filipinos stop being America’s “white men’s burdens” and even their preys as a matter of fact. Puede ba tumayo na sa sarili ang mga pilipino. Ang yabang-yabang wala naman palang ibubuga!
I am for prosecution of Joma Sison if he is indeed guilty, but he should be tried and convicted by Filipinos, not Americans since crimes he is being accused of that the Dutch have arrested him for are supposed to be against fellow Filipinos committed on Philippine soil.
BTW, Philippine lawyers should see the angle of a breach in the manner by which Sison has been arrested. Since the complaints apparently came from the Philippine government, they should check if there had been a Philippine official present when the raid, arrest, etc. were made as per provision of some international convention and protocol. Kundi infringement iyan ng sovereignty ng Pilipinas that I doubt the idiot criminal at the palace by the murky river understands!
Ang tindi ng pambababoy sa Pilipinas! This should not be tolerated as a matter of fact! Pinapalabas talagang gunggong ang mga pilipino? Hindi dapat ito pinapayagan! Just my yen!
Chi;
Ang writ of Amparo ay katulad din iyan ng writ of Mandamus or Prohibition, na ang ibig sabihin ay puedi mong idimanda ang korte kung nagkasala ang huwes with negligence in applying the law na nagbunga ng perwesyo sa taong parte sa kaso,pero mahirap mapatunayan na nagkasala ang huwes dahil mayroon silang ethical court proceedings na sinusunod at ibinabasi nila ang desisyon ng hukuman sa mga similar precedence case na ang ibig sabihin ang desisyon ng huwes ay hango sa mga kaparehong naunang kaso, kung ano ang hatol ng korte.Katulad halimbawa ang naunang Supreme court decision on Santiago vs. Comelec, where they ruled against the drafted implementing law on people’s initiative.Kaya iyong mga kontra sa people’s initiative ay puedi nilang gawing basehan ang Santiago vs.Comelec case.
The Amparo writ or its clones will just end up into an Ampaw Wreath. Better they think of opening a Wiki that lists down persons booked by the police and updated as the case maybe. No need asking for our sins anymore. Just read it there.
Dapat lang naman na ang Supreme Court ay magbangong-puri na after na binaboy ni Davide. The justices should do what is right. And they should always remember that the ESSENCE OF THE LAW IS IN PURSUIT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE!!!
Honestly, I have a very little idea about these so called writs, and I don’t even know if I am right to say that, if ever the Supreme Court decided to go ahead with its issuance my only wish is for them to put more teeth and cover up all the bases for possible loopholes para walang lusot ang mga criminal sa military at mga pulis.
Cocoy,
I’m not of legal mind. Amparo or Mandamus, basta pagbutihin ng SC at nang may laban naman ang mga tao sa katarantaduhan ni Gloria at mga sekyus n’ya.
Bibilib lang ako sa korte kung bibigyan nila ng halaga at tamang atensyon ang kaso ni Trillanes (appeal to serve included), Magdalos at nina Col. Querubin at mga kasama. Kasi, diyan makikita kung ang atin ngang korte or SC ay objective at hindi na nasusulsulan pa ni Gluerilla.
At kung itong mga writs na hangga ngayon ay nasa plano pa lang ay kaagad ipatupad ng SC at bigyan ng ultimatum ang mga usual suspects. Masyado silang malambot sa mga military officials ni Gloria. Pag ayaw sumipot ay palaging pinalulusot.
teka, sino bang amparo ‘yan, ha?
si amparo munoz ba? taob nga si gloria sa ganda at talino nu’n!
di ba dating miss universe ‘yun?
he he he he he!
okey payag ako ng writ of amparing huwag lang writ of madam auring!
iyayayay!
hehehh, nakaisa ka na naman, Mrivera.
mabuti rin nga kung mandamus writ ang masusunod dahil magkakaroon ng linaw ang lahat ng sapilitang pagkawala ng mga pinaghihinalaang bikig sa lalamunan ni gloria arroyo. kung susundin din ng pamunuan ng hukbong sandatahan.
masaklap kasing nangyayari eh parang ‘yung mga hula ni nostradamus na panay delubyong nakakapanindig balahibo sa kilikili.
mabuti sana kung sina gloria, esPWEron, ermita, bunyeta, claudio, gagonggonzalez twin at itong mga sipsep na heneral ang biglang mangawala at hindi na muling makita, at least magkakaroon ng katahimikan sa ating bansa.
sa itinatakbo ng mga pangyayari, sa ilalim ng baton ni justice reynato puno ay nagkakaroon ng sungay ang batas upang suwagin ang mga pagmamalabis ni gloria sampu ng kanyang mga sipsip na tagapagtanggol at mga kinasangkapan upang manatili siya sa malakanyang sa kabila ng katotohanang hindi siya ibinoto ng taong bayan.
sa ilalim ng pinatutunayang diretsong paggiya ni justice puno upang huwag madiktahan ang kataastaasang hukuman at maging isang sala ng pantay na katarungan ay malamang na laging parang binabalisawsaw ang mga iskwater sa malakanyang at nasasambit sa sarili ni gloria na isang malaking pagkakamali niya ang ituring na katulad ding ng ibang mga PUNO sa kanyang gabinete itong punong mahistrado.
valdemar’s coinage, ‘ ampaw wreath’ (similar to ‘marine corpse’ of mrivera in another thread), reflects the real depth of one’s angst and frustration on issues considered basic in any democratic society.
that our courts pretending to be pitifully clueless and continue to function without any clear-cut direction, against the backdrop of more than a thousand hapless victims whose families turned mourners, for some, is not only unbelievably stupid, but a great cause of horror and harrow to many!
