ABS-CBN News has just reported that the Supreme Court, in a 13-0 decision, has declared the calibrated preemptive response policy as null and void. INQ7 has reported that the SC has directed the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) to implement Section 15 of Batas Pambansa 880, which calls for local government to declare freedom parks.

INQ7:

The high court said the CPR, which bans street protests without permits, "served no valid purpose" if, as admitted by Solicitor-General Eduardo Nachura during oral arguments on the issue, it only meant the same thing as maximum tolerance.

"CPR serves no valid purpose if it means the same thing as maximum tolerance and is illegal if it means something else. Accordingly, what is to be followed is and should be that mandated by the law itself, namely maximum tolerance," the high court said in a 36-page decision penned by Associate Justice Adolf Azcuna.

“The so-called CPR policy has no place in our legal firmament and must be struck down as darkness that shrouds freedom. It merely confuses our people and is used by some police agents to justify abuses.�

it maybe unconstitutional, but CPR has served its purpose in taming those who have planned to wreck the Phil economy..the SC decision is just way too late.

Tolstoi is smarting from this latest setback of his idol GMA. A loyal servant.

Anyway, the Supreme Court has spoken. Let me quote what the it said about CPR.

"CPR serves no valid purpose if it means the same thing as maximum tolerance and is illegal if it means something else. Accordingly, what is to be followed is and should be that mandated by the law itself, namely maximum tolerance," the high court said in a 36-page decision penned by Associate Justice Adolf Azcuna.

“The so-called CPR policy has no place in our legal firmament and must be struck down as darkness that shrouds freedom. It merely confuses our people and is used by some police agents to justify abuses.�

The police led by the clown called Querol is smarting from this setback too. Pahiya ano?

heheehehe ofcourse its unconstitutional ........everybody knows it ....rally in peaceful manner or peaceful assembly is a right embedded in the constittution you dont even need a permit otherwise its not a right......

the rallyist should know GMAÂ* is aÂ* strong leader ...she is very well familar the kind of tactics they are using to force her out of office... and that massing people to critical mass plusÂ* aÂ* newÂ* kind of coup like withdrawing of support is an old thing... its one step aheadÂ* political move well within the perogative of the executive to protect itself.....only a weakling foolÂ* leader will not analyze the situation correctly. and do nothing ...CPR unconstitutional as it is nowÂ* at the time it was declared could be still a prejudicial question now it was ruled upon though notÂ* on finality ofcourse they wont use that term again.hehehe

everbody is using s**t anyway. the elected goverment had the right to protect itself of course same with the protesters both can use the lawÂ* for its own tactical political advantages.......but the victor is clear......... up to this dayÂ* resistance is futileÂ* .....better joinÂ* so we could all move up now and wait for the next election for another tonto......

So what are you cheering about?

It only proves one thing.

An illegitimate government want to use all illegal means to maintain its illegal assumption of power. Robbers have no qualms killing andd robbing.

They are robbers. Plain and simple.

how could you say that im cheering about what? it's our duty to support the sitting government wether we voted for it or not after elections otherwise what will happen after elections were gonna have the same shit all over again thought we need a constructive opposition for a democracy just like the republican party and democratic party in america ........

yes it only proves one thing the opposition -----which i think you dont like too but given the situation you dont have any choice ...do you-----dont talk about political righteousness there is no such thing in politics-- ...... ............must surrender and stop bitching around and wait for the next election so the country can move faster....and better prepare properly this is politics they know what it means..........

what is important is that the sitting government is functioning and recognize both localy and abroad.............. its legitimate oh yes we cant do anthing about it the election is over..........you can say all the noise you want but it wont change anything cheer up were all filipinos were alll on the same ship if the ship sinks we all gonna drowned like shit all everyone as in everyone

AMEN and AMEN!

for those who can't stop being whine connoisseurs, look at the Solomon Islands... do you want the Philippines to suffer the same hardships?

The supremacy of the judiciary is very much exemplified with the two decisions regarding EO 464 and CPR. They wanted to project the independence of the judiciary and emptied the minds of the public and the opposition on their hesitations and allegations on the questioned independence of the judiciary. Now, they have shown to all that the judiciary is still independent. It does not matter if the appointment comes from the executive branch. Still, the rule of law should be preserved.

The citizen's rights are upheld in both instances: right to information and the right to peaceably assemble. However, the people must still bear in mind that the rights vested to them as stated in the Constitution should be exercised properly. If the rallyists have these rights, the public has the right to security and convenience.The putting up of freedom parks for rallies only shows that the public has the right not to be inconvenienced by the rallies in the streets.

That's what is so good about our democratic system.......................we have the Supreme Court which is independent from Gloria............does the communist have that system? Does people in a communist nation have the right to rally openly without being massacared just like what happened in China years ago?
