Atty Romy Makalintal, a famous election law lawyer has pointed out that if 19th Congress expires then a new case has to be filed which may not be allowed, since you can only be impeached once. A Congress has to finish all its bueiness, and cant endorse the unfinished business to the next Congress. The Senate and HOR may have a new composition
But Senate President said, that the impeachment can only proceed after the SONA, in which case, VP Sarah can be off the hook. What do you think/
Atty Topacio, Chairman of Citizens crime watch and former speaker Pantaleon Alvarez have filed criminal cases vs. House Speaker Martin Romualdez involving insertion and falsification of public documents. Who is diverting whose attention?
They often say this in ships where loose lips can spark mutiny and cause trouble at sea. This applies now to some media companies that have lost zillions in defamation suits. One lost $80 m to Melania Trump, $800 million to Carrie Underwood, $80 million to Elon Musk. There is a news too where a media company was sued by Pres Trump for faking an interview with his opponent for Presidential position.
Another media company also popular for controversial programs has lost a suit from a former military on fake news controversy.
All ready the parent company of the said media company for huge financial losses.
These media companies have crossed the line of free speech, honest criticism to shaming and personal attacks. Press freedom is not a license so bloggers, netizens beware.
Media companies have been known as the Fifth Estate and dubbed as kingmakers or king destroyers. That was the past. Social media has taken that power away and many newspaers and magazines have turned belly up.
So that is what many still think. Leaked emails show how producers and execs have directed hosts and staff to: make the guests (especially the conservatives) uncomfortable, make them stumble and make the media company look powerful and almighty. Now the real power are the lawyers.
There has been a rash of air travel accidents: one in Korea by the end of December, air collision last week at Washington DC between an American Airlines pasenger jet and Black Hawk helicopter, an air ambulance that crashed in Philadelphia, a helicopter crash at Nueva Ecija (fatality was pilot of Willie Revillame and Sen Bato) and most recently a plane fire in South Korea.
Why are there so many accidents involving air travel? Has the law of averages caught up with us? Or its fated for this year? Did God will these?
