Fmr Sen. Trillanes lashes out vs Presiding Judge Escudero and tells of impending case vs the latter

It is more fun criticizing

Former Senator Antonio Trillanes, apparently piqued for not being allowed to present evidence at the impeachement trial lashed out at Presiding Judge and talked about impending plunder case vs the latter.

Some saw this as a threat and AT having strong ties with the administration and being one of the power broker of the current administration.  

A Damocles sword over the head fo Senator Judges

Can mistrial be called?   Can they be fair under the situation?  Judging out of fear to convict the respondent

China bans export of Petrol products to PHL, further price increases seen

It is more fun criticizing

China bans export of fuel to Asian markets

They and their big mouths.  The politicians and the war hawks who could not keept their mouth shut.  China has banned exports of Petroleum products further excaberting our all ready fragile energy situation.  Expect more price increases and digging into your income, lesser travel, more expensive  energy:   electricity, fuel, etc.  

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...
