next time naman, they will vote for the bail petition of Revilla and Estrada for the same plunder case which is a non bailable case.

Enrile was granted temporary release from jail for humanitarian reasons. His advanced age, deteriorating health and, to some extent, his vast network of connections in the judiciary (he's a lawyer after all) became the basis for his release from prison.

 

Revilla and Estrada cannot claim the same reasons. They're young and healthy. Unless they can use their acting skills to pretend they're in poor health, I don't think there's a chance for these two to be released temporarily for humanitarian reasons.

 

GMA may be in a much better position to petition the courts for temporary liberty for humanitarian reasons. She does look very frail and sick. There's now a legal precedent for her release.

My suggestion lang ako. Na closed na kasi ung INC thread. Maganda cguro if we have a healthy discussion regarding the issue

"Separation of Church and State". Ang claim ng INC from what I know is that government should not intervene thus "Separation of Church and State". Pero ang pagkakaintindi ko naman government should intervene kasi may acts of criminal case involve. Ano ba talaga ibig sabihin ng "Separation of Church and State"? I hope that MTC members could share their views regarding this without attacking other religion. Just a healthy discussion please. :)

I'll check the topic then create a thread if Ok.

Rest in peace Sen. Joker Arroyo.

Age: 85

Education: AB Law, UP; Associate in Arts Pre-Law, Ateneo

Professional background: Human rights lawyer, Executive Secretary from 1986-1987

Current term: 2007 to 2013

Eligible for reelection? No. It's Arroyo's second term at the Senate. He was elected to the Senate for the first time in 2001, following the botched impeachment trial of then President Joseph Estrada, where he served as one of the House prosecutors.

Political Party: Lakas-Kampi-CMD

Been reading the news about the candidates filing their CoCs and...I don't know which is worse. Na 'yung mga dating pangalan na mga pulitiko ang nagfi-file ng CoC. O 'yung mga kung sino-sino lang ang nagfi-file kasi trip lang nila. Sabi nga sa isang comment na nakita ko sa FB, "itong si [wannabe candidate], parang napadaan lang ng Ministop tapos naisip kumandidato" :(

I'm sure some of them mean well, but I can't help thinking they simultaneously woke up this morning and all had that classic Barney moment,
