Strict interpretation of what is written or being lax (BENDALOS) by amicus curiae

It is more fun criticizing

Such is the first principle being debated in the Sarah impeachment:    debate on the denominator, for the all the senators:   24 or those just in attendance.     One magistrate, Azcuna, says its 24 since he was the orginal author, I agree.   The other three are of an announcer or common man mentality:   it depends, or maybe it does not matter. -  WHAT IS POPULAR OR WHAT IS .... (whom you had dinner with ....) matters.

Strictly to the letter,or to the spirit?

The religious are split between the fundamentalists and those who live according to the spirit of the scriptures or what is written.  Thus among Franciscans there is a schism.   Among the Muslimes, there are fundamentalists -  strict interpretation of the law and the liberals.

In my college education, I was taught and I kept in mind that there are certain subjects that are fundamental and immutable:   math and science for intance.   1+1 =2 cant be changed.  

In literature, when somebody says his interpretation of the poems is in between the lines, the Prof says curtly "Where is it?  I coud not see any"  And the prof became a National Artist.

In drama, a meztizo professor surnamed Romualdez (he reports in MB SLC) says answers to his exams are the very same he mentions in pop sheet, attempted to reduce drama critique into something that is constant.

So whom do we agree, or spend money with (P60 m  a day expense on impeachment?)     Azcuna or the 3 others/   I go for Azcuna...

What if the Senators decide to amend the constitution and use another denominator?   One legal mind said it could be unconstitutional.  Do you agree.   ?

Another important issue:   the question by Sen. Robinhood Padilla -  since impeachment court is a superior court, can any other courts touch or investigate its members while in session (or arrest its subject as with RTC)?   Can other courts pressure its members (as what is happening)   This is worth seriously looked into  

Banning EV vehicles from RORO - being safe or being backward?

It is more fun criticizing

An interisland shipping company recently banned EVs from being transported in its route in its RORO  vessels.   This came after the recent Arete fire in Coron which killed scores.   This move is seen by this post as a proper safety response to the said accident.  Because its vessels are very old and not equipped with fire suppressants for electric fires.  it opted to do it the safe way.

Others are saying its backward.

Remember the airplanes prohibited putting laptops  and cellphones for precisely the same safety reasons.  Its easy to spot and control fires when they are with you and you can see this.  (However a fire broke out in the overhead bin in one of the carry on baggage.  The fire started from an overheated cp)  Lithium in cp as in EVs are deadly and can break out into spontaneous fire.  

A number of fires erupted worldwide in ships carrying evs, with burned lost vehicles numbering thousands.   This is a real fear being anticipated by the said good shipping managers.

Lets be safe...

Coseteng - circus came to town (on impeachment)

It is more fun criticizing

Very well said...

1  The cast:    three actors (Lapid, Robinhood and Soto) one newshen (Loren Legarda, three  brothers and sisters team  (Alan and Pia Mark and Camille, Raffy and Erwin) 

2.  Behavior at the Senate and Impeachment -  Clearly some do not understand the laws which they are supposed to manage...

3.  From these, we can now understand why our country status is like this?

We elected them (on the basis of popularity and not because of their qualifications...  We deserve this Senate, not blame anyone nor rant about this... We are responsible...

Civic minded countrymen clearing highway of debris and vegetative growth open a new can of worms

It is more fun criticizing

This post admires and salutes various individuals clearing roads of debris that clog the drainage, of cogon and other brush undergrowth that blocks the visibility of oncoming traffic.  I to became addicted to this type of civic works when I was in my twenties.  My cleaning of the gutter in front of our house led me 500 even to 1000 meters away clearing the gutter of dirt -  up to a provincial hospital near us.  I was warned that I could be infected by effluents from the hospital

Road maintenance budget - utilization

However, I knew that a certain amount is budgetted for road maintenance annually.  When I googled it is in the order of billions.      Where does this go if drainages are clogged leading to instant flooding, or civic minded citizens brush cut on their own wild undergrowth blocking the street?

Can CoA investigative journos look into this.

Purported medical conditions as a shield vs being jailed

It is more fun criticizing

                                             No IV line, vitals according to monitor are fine

Last Monday, a ranking govt elected official, the (4th) was issued a warrant of arrest by a Prosecutor Office.  Immediately, he was admitted to a hospital without passing through the ER.   However his pictures showed him together with monitor shouting out he was healthy (they should have turned off the monitor)

All ready medical circles are calling out MDs who are being used as excuse slips not to be jailed same as wheel chairs (GMA, Bonuan, Marcoleta)

He was brought to PGH for a third party assessment   Commitment order has been transferred from PNP to BJMP and may soon be transferred to BJMP detention center at Payatas.

Courage for those who want to violate the laws they are supposed to enforce or which they crafted.  

Justice for all.
