Philippine Law 101

It sounds as if you have a president to be proud of. I wish you a good term with this man, who seems to help this countrymen understand the principles of the laws he is representing.

I had watch this last night mam. Glad that I'm on transition off when I watch this in the news. I know our current President Benigno Aquino III really had reviewed carefully the outcome of the investigation. And in fact, knowing that the President Aquino reviewed the law, it is good to know that he is not that bias after all and made it sure that he decided on what to do to the persons involve. He decided this to benifit two parties even though that IIRC will be a little disappointed of what our President had made the decission out of it :)

i have not watched this!!! anyone has a link or video to this one? Please!! i want to watch and really comment on how he handled this situation. Honestly I thought Aquino would just be like other presidents, that he would let people take over and his name as the president.. but i was wrong! and this time, i am happy that i was wrong! haha I could not even think that he has this firm side of his!! I like it.. i hope he really is the change that our country is waiting for!!

The law is best explained by those who have to implement them. Sometimes the practical applications of the law is lost on lawyers who like to sugarcoat their words for billing purposes. Despite what they say, PNoy is actually an intelligent person. He likes to read a lot and he is really good in breaking it down for those who cannot understand. I remember one speech he made where he explained in simple terms how GMA used statistics to make it appear as if the economy is going forward when it is actually going to the dogs. I think that was the first time I listened to a discussion of numbers without falling asleep. It just hit so close to the reality that I was seeing on a daily basis. Be that as it may, I do have issues with the IIRC report. I take issue with the fact that Puno and Robredo were let off with a slap on the wrist. I cannot understand how PNoy cannot hold accountable someone whom he gave specific instructions to use SAF. He should be able to trust his men to carry out his orders. He says that Puno and Robredo were not part of the local crisis committee - true, but the police, who were part of the committee were supposedly under them. Command responsibility is lacking here. Is it because Puno is a friend? He said that was not a factor. That's not how it looks to me. Nevertheless, I am willing to give him a chance. Friends are hard to come by in the political world. The hostage crisis is their baptism of fire. I am satisfied though with the recommendation against the brother of Mendoza. In hindsight, it was mostly his outbursts and shenanigans which triggered the entire killing. Even if he did not know that his brother was willing to kill, as a policeman, he should have behaved professionally and not whine to his brother, who was obviously on the edge.

i am intrigued with your discussion, can you refer a link for us?

i never saw it mam.,,what a waste,,I'm on a 3 shift duty..but ill find a way.... I'm not an Aquino fan at all, for i never heard anything about him before even when he was still a senator.i don't even in vision him as strong but with that somehow it changed my mind in some perspective bout him,..this good to hear,,it keeps me hoping that maybe,,,there will be an answer and he will be a good facilitator...
