		<description><![CDATA[If attentive observers of the developments at the Senate impeachment court are appalled to discover that Chief Justice Renato Corona and his wife enjoyed VIP perks from Philippine Airlines while the company had a case pending at the Supreme Court, and are naturally eager to learn more, what are they to make of a ruling by the court rejecting the PAL executive presented by the prosecution to testify on the matter? Would they not be wondering why someone who can credibly be described as a competent witness would be deemed irrelevant to the case?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, calls on the faithful in our predominantly Christian nation to perform acts of kindness and sacrifice for the less fortunate.  They are the poor who are forced to live with little hope in our highly unequal society.  They are the sick singled out by fate to suffer a slow debilitating death.  Or they may be the momentarily needy, forced by circumstances to turn to friends, kin and strangers for help. The call to selfless kindness is one of humanity’s hardest tests.]]></description>

In 2010, I took the Law Aptitude Exam (LAE) of the University of the Philippines College of Law and flunked it. I was not really expecting to pass it given my mediocre grades. But somehow, I hoped for a miracle, for me to make it to the Top 200.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A closer scrutiny of Republic Act 6426 would reveal that not all dollar accounts in a bank are covered by its secrecy provision as found in Section 8 thereof—“Secrecy Of Foreign Currency Deposits.” Note, that this secrecy provision only mentions “Deposits.” Hence, in applying the legal maxim “Expressio unius est exclusion alterius (the express mention of one person, thing or consequence implies the exclusion of all others), other bank accounts that are not in the nature of deposits are deemed excluded from the protection of this particular provision.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In two CCTV videos of separate incidents in just the past few months, buses speeding along the South Superhighway in heavy rain were shown beginning to skid out of control even while traveling in a straight line without braking or turning.  In the first incident, the conductor narrated how the bus “seemed to be blown sideways by the wind.”   In the second incident involving a JAC Liner, the operator explained that their drivers had just undergone a retraining course, and the accident was “only because the road was slippery.”]]></description>

		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://opinion.inquirer.net/?p=23573</guid>
		<description><![CDATA[This is in reaction to the rantings and ravings of Miriam Santiago at the impeachment trial.  When she took a private prosecutor to task and engaged him in what she termed a “colloquy,” little did anyone realize she meant to do a soliloquy and expected everyone to keep their mouth shut.  For the irrepressible senator loves talking to and listening to herself so much she probably thinks she is the only person she can have a sane and intelligent conversation with.  Thus, when the prosecutor tried to butt in, he should have seen it coming:  “How dare you argue with me!”]]></description>
