                    [Summary] => The other day was the 19th death anniversary of my old man, Napoleon. He was a very ordinary man who had no pretense to any worldly possession he did not have. What he did have and which we, the family members, lament not to have inherited was his gift in languages. We remember, with immeasurable pride, of course, that our old folk, who was educated during the American regime, also spoke fluent Spanish and Latin.

                    [Summary] => Delinquent national sports associations (NSAs) can temporarily heave a sigh of relief with the change of leadership at the Office of Solicitor General.


The resignation of Solicitor General Alfredo Benipayo last week  effective April 1 could give these NSAs more time to complete their liquidation report amounting to P80-P90 million.


"It’s good for the NSAs. At least they’ll have more time to prepare their liquidation report," said Guillermo Iroy, executive director of the Philippine Sports Commission.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo is determined that court cases will not delay the opening of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA-3) by June this year, a Malacañang official said yesterday.


Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye expressed confidence that the government can meet its self-imposed deadline of six months to open and start operating the international terminal built by a consortium composed of Germany’s Fraport AG and the Philippine International Air Terminals Co. 


In a statement, he said the temporary restraining order of the Supreme Court (SC) "paves the way... for the opening of the NAIA-3 terminal and furthering the national interest."


Bunye alluded to the SC ruling that favored the petition filed by Solicitor General Alfredo Benipayo seeking to restrain Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 117 Henrick Gingoyon from enforcing his order for the government to pay Piatco a deposit of $62.3 million.


He echoed the government’s position that it should not put up the $62.3-million deposit until the lower court resolves how much "just compensation" should be given to the contractors that built the terminal under the aegis of Piatco.

                    [Summary] => Hindi pinagbigyan ng Korte Suprema ang apela ng Department of Finance (DOF) na alisin ang temporary restraining order (TRO) na nagsuspinde sa pagpapatupad ng Expanded Value Added Tax Law o Republic Act 9337.


Sa 2-pahinang resolusyon na ipinalabas kahapon ng SC en banc, hindi nito inaksyunan ang Very Urgent Motion to Lift TRO on R.A. 9337 ngunit binago nito ang itinakdang oral arguments sa Hulyo 14, ala-una ng hapon, sa halip na Hulyo 26.


Ibinasura rin ng SC en banc ang inihaing petisyon ni Atty. Arturo de Castro laban sa E-VAT dahil sa kawalan ng merito.

                    [Title] => Court cases won’t delay NAIA-3 opening — Palace
                    [Summary] => President Arroyo is determined that court cases will not delay the opening of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA-3) by June this year, a Malacañang official said yesterday.


Presidential Spokesman Ignacio Bunye expressed confidence that the government can meet its self-imposed deadline of six months to open and start operating the international terminal built by a consortium composed of Germany’s Fraport AG and the Philippine International Air Terminals Co. 


In a statement, he said the temporary restraining order of the Supreme Court (SC) "paves the way... for the opening of the NAIA-3 terminal and furthering the national interest."


Bunye alluded to the SC ruling that favored the petition filed by Solicitor General Alfredo Benipayo seeking to restrain Pasay City Regional Trial Court Branch 117 Henrick Gingoyon from enforcing his order for the government to pay Piatco a deposit of $62.3 million.


He echoed the government’s position that it should not put up the $62.3-million deposit until the lower court resolves how much "just compensation" should be given to the contractors that built the terminal under the aegis of Piatco.
