What's hot …
By Fernando del Mundo Philippine Daily Inquirer Eduardo “Danding” Cojuangco, current chairman of San Miguel Corp. INQUIRER FILE PHOTO Coconut farmers can kiss goodbye their hopes of recovering nearly P60 billion worth of shares in San Miguel Corp. (SMC).

By Edu Punay The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – The case that will test the constitutionality of the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona by Congress has been assigned to Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, his closest rival for the top Supreme Court (SC) post, an insider revealed over the weekend.

By Raïssa Robles RaissaRobles.com I read with great interest a Philippine Star story on lawyer Oliver Lozano’s impeachment complaint filed against President Benigno Aquino III entitled ‘Direct assault on SC another impeachable offense.’ Lozano implied that PNoy was worse than dictator Ferdinand Marcos because PNoy had publicly castigated Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. Lozano was quoted as saying the following: “Even former President (Ferdinand) Marcos Read More …
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow By Linggoy Alcuaz OpinYon Lite Marcos’s Martial Law dignified going to jail. Before Martial Law, going to jail was very shameful. Whether it was before or after conviction, it was the same. One was behind bars. One was under incarceration and imprisonment. The reasons were simple. One had run afoul of the law. One had broken the law. One was a Read More …
FASTLANES By BenCyrus G. Ellorin Minda News SUBIC BAY (MindaNews/20 Nov) – Like the nightmares that Martial Law left us, the presidency of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo may have left unsavoury left-overs. Certain democratic institutions are designed to ensure continuity of constitutional authority. The Supreme Court has Justices whose terms are not fixed with elected officials. As a constitutional body, a co-equal branch of government, one of Read More …
AS A MATTER OF FACT By Sara Soliven De Guzman The Philippine Star Whenever I hear the Marcoses speak about martial law in a defense mode, I tell myself, “Ah! That is forced amnesia.” How can one ever forget the horror stories told by people from all walks of life about the tragedies that besiege us during those dark days? This was such a painful Read More …
CTALK By Cito Beltran The Philippine Star Conflict brings out character. When President Noynoy Aquino announced that there would be no State Funeral for Ferdinand Marcos during his term, Senator Bongbong Marcos immediately went ballistic and launched a verbal criticism at P-Noy. The Senator who was understandably disappointed and frustrated accused the President of having no word of honor and for “leading on” the northern Read More …
Streetwise By Carol Pagaduan-Araullo BusinessWorld It is supreme irony that while Filipinos were commemorating the declaration of martial law 39 years ago by the US-backed-dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos and calling for the release of hundreds of political prisoners, the son of the most prominent victim of martial law, Philippine President Benigno “Noynoy”Aquino, was being given a pat on the back by US President Barack Obama, Read More …
AT GROUND LEVEL By Satur C. Ocampo The Philippine Star Last Wednesday in New York, President Aquino made two statements, both related to the martial law dictatorship that Ferdinand Marcos imposed on our nation 39 years ago that very day and ended with his ouster in February 1986. One was this remark during an interview: “The desire of one man and a group decided for Read More …
To Take A Stand By Oscar P. Lagman, Jr. BusinessWorld “Let us not forget the 13 years of tyranny and the 20-year looting of the country. Let us not forget his mockery of the Constitution. This man who twice swore, in 1965 and 1969, to uphold and defend the Constitution disregarded it totally when he held on to the post of president after his term Read More …
