MERGED: All About Gloria Arroyo - Past, Present, Future

[emow]

This is very interesting isnt it, anyway the problem is the SC did not even rule whether the DOJ has a right or not to put GMA on hold departure list they made restraining order it not even a TRO becuase it suspend the effectivity of the circular...

Yes there is no case against GMA yet but she is under investigation....

Sometime our laws can be very inconvenient in search for justice, dont you think?

this is i think a copy of the decision
http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprud...199046_TRO.pdf

the dissenting opinon is interesting is worth reading though.

I can't understand how the Constitution can be made secondary to the actions of DOJ and the Admin... Does that mean that the Admin and Doj can inhibit rights at their whim, rights ascertained by the Consitution, and that the person must resort to the interpretations of SC to rule if its Constitutional or not? Isn't that contrary to the purpose of Constitution? In that sense, the power has shifted from the citizens to the government....

helpful link to the timeline of the whole bruhaha

interesting tidbits:

#1. that was a quick deliberation!
#2. it must be awesome to be an arroyo. 2 million in a duffel bag anytime you want! dang!
#3. check the times. i thought government offices closed at 5.
#4. when they first tried to pay, a copy of the TRO was still not with the cashier. that's how rushed the SC did all this.
#5. 2 million in a duffel bag! in thousand peso bills! i can't get over how casual that sounds. they either had it prepared well in advance or that's just cheap change for these people.

#6. checkout that pic! nice try but you're no nora aunor. :P

Kulang mani nga timeline bro ... kato unta pag start ug issuance sa HDO ug WLO ... its been explain ni marquez nga ingon ana nga petition should be address immediately dili mani parihas anang mga Criminal Case ug Administrative nga dugay ... 2 weeks naman na siya nga petition .. in fairness pud sa Supreme Court ...

bro, ayaw lagi palabi kung kung kuwang ra imong knowledge sa pamalaod... gi question pa nimo si Escudero

"Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, who is justice committee chairman said any freshman law student knows that a TRO cannot be questioned through an MR, and even with a pending motion, it cannot defer the implementation of the SC order."

utro pud ka mo sige lang kag putak nya way sad kay nahibaw-an. nganong si escudero man ang atong paminawon parte ani. mo file man kaha ug MR, then let the SC scrap that MR. ka simple ana, di gihapon nimo masabtan. palabi man lang ka.

Corona, Velasco, Brion, Peralta, Bersamin, Abad, Villarama, Perez - the 8 who voted for the Arroyo's bid to flee.

- is arroyo under arrest? no.
- is arroyo under detention? no.
- is arroyo being exiled? no.

heck, arroyo's experiencing a better life than 99% of the filipinos right now!

**edit: also, what's happening to arroyo is hardly arbitrary. you'd have to be wearing billboard-sized blinds to think that.

did the goverment file a case against gma?
is gma convected?

the answer is no..so why did the government take away her right to travel?

because the bill of rights is not absolute it still subject to the power of the government.


The SC did not rule on the constitutionality of the circular which means it still legal although suspended.

DOJ Department Circular No. 41

The question here is not only the constitution because even the bill of right is subject to national interest through police power of the state.

Bcoz she is under investigation. DOj Circular 41 gives the right to Doj to put her name on the list....

Under what conditions the bill of rights can be suspended?
