CHA-CHA SETBACK: Thank God there is the Supreme Court!


By a close vote of 8-7, the tribunal ruled yesterday that the nation cannot proceed to amend the Constitution through a People’s Initiative in the absence of an implementing law to serve as legal basis.

President Gloria Arroyo does not need to form an "independent" commission, to pretend to speak in the harshest terms, or to feign ignorance of the fact that the nation is bleeding from the serial killings that have drawn international censure.


All that the Commander-in-Chief has to do is gather her generals and tell them, "Boys, that’s enough. Stop it. Now na!"
