Cordiales saludo a todos mi hermanos en este tiempo de alegria!

The past year has been fruitful for all of us. We have recruited more able men to join our fold. Our resident and alumni brothers have reached significant milestones in their personal and professional lives. But more importantly, as a fraternity, we have renewed our fraternal bonds through the indomitable TAU KAPPAN spirit that has sustained our existence for nearly 63 years and it shall keep us together for the next 63 years and more.

Civil Law Review Case Doctrines - Part I

Upon my reaching the 4th year of law school, I am enthralled at the quick passage of time. Four years ago, I was only a freshman with budding desires to become a lawyer. Now, I am just a stone throw away from graduating, and hopefully, taking the bar.

But being a senior comes with it great responsibilities. And foremost is the huge amount of paper works and cases that one has to read, aside from the volumes of books to review and codal provisions to re-familiarize or as one has candidly placed it, memorize it na talaga.

As part of my social service to those who would be in the same vein as I am today in the future, I am starting a new segment of this blog. I shall try to condense the cases I read into the primary doctrines it has pronounced. Just a forewarning, this is not a supplement to your own reading of the cases. Read it from the original. I did. The reason - I WANT TO BE A LAWYER. So if you want to be, READ THE ORIGINAL.

Haven't posted in a while as I have been exceptionally busy the past months - both with work, school and the responsibilities with my family and peers.

Immigration 101 (Part 4) - Consolidated Rules

As I have been consistently stating in previous blog posts, the Department of Justice, through Secretary Alberto C. Agra, has issued Department of Justice Circular No. 41 s. 2010 dated 07 June 2010, or the Consolidated Rules and Regulations governing the Issuance and Implementation of Hold Departure Orders, Watchlist Orders, and Allow Departure Orders. This circular is in response to the need to review, revise and consolidate Department Circular No. 17 s. 1998 and Department Circular No. 18 s. 2007, in order to afford the public a quick bird's eye view of the rules governing the mentioned orders.

WHAT'S NEW

While there is no substantial change in the rules as far as the requirements and grounds for the issuance of HDO and WLO are concerned, there were some additions worth noting:

  1. In Section 2 (a), the Secretary of Justice may issue a WLO, against the accused, irrespective of nationality, in criminal cases pending trial before the Regional Trial Courts and other lower courts.
  2. In Section 2 (c), the Secretary of Justice is now allowed to issue a WLO against any person, either MOTU PROPRIO, or upon the request of any government agency, including commissions, task forces or similar entities created by the Office of the President, pursuant to the "Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003" (R.A. No. 9208) and/or in connection with any investigation being conducted by it, or in the interest of national security, public safety or public health.
The full text of the Department Circular is available at the Department of Justice website.

Immigration 101 (Part 3) - Allow Departure Orders

As part of the Immigration Series, there are certain orders issued by the competent authorities of the government granting those persons under HDO or WLO the liberty to travel. Next on the Immigration mini-series, Allow Departure Orders.

ALLOW DEPARTURE ORDERS

Allow Departure Orders, or ADO, are orders granted by competent authorities, allowing the person, whose departure from the country is being held by reason of a Hold Departure Order or a Watchlist Order, to leave the country for some exceptional reasons.

The issuance of ADOs are governed by Department of Justice Circular No. 18 dated 23 April 2007. However, in the next few days, Department of Justice shall issue a new Circular consolidating the rules on the issuance of HDOs, WLOs and ADOs.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CIRCULAR NO. 18 s. 2007

Under Section 6 of Department Circular No. 18 s. 2007, that in case a person subject of a Watchlist Order or a Hold Departure Order issued by the Secretary of Justice intends to leave the country for some exceptional reasons, the Secretary of Justice may allow the departure of said person, upon duly notarized application and the submission of the following requirements:
  1. Duly notarized letter-request;
  2. Affidavit of Undertaking stating the purpose and the inclusive period of the intended travel; and
  3. Authority to Travel from the appropriate office or person, as the case may be ([a] investigating prosecutor where the case is pending (for those under WLO) or [b] office where the case is pending (for those under HDO).
In most cases, the ADOs contain provisions for the party allowed to comply, which may include:
  1. Upon arrival at point of destination: appearing before the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate, upon arrival at the point of destination;
  2. Upon return to the Philippines: presentation to the Department of Justice, either in writing or in person, proofs of compliance of the ADO, i.e. Immigration stamps of Departure and Arrival.
The ADO is valid only for the period stated in its face and violation of the provisions of the ADO shall merit its cancellation and non-issuance of future applications for ADO.

Wednesday

Immigration 101 (Part 2) - Watchlist Orders

In 2007, the Department of Justice saw the need to fill in the gaps of the guidelines in the issuance of Hold Departure Orders, particularly with respect to cases falling within the jurisdiction of courts below the Regional Trial Court and those pending final determination by the government's prosecution offices. Thus, Secretary Raul M. Gonzales issued Department Circular No. 18. As part of the mini-series on Immigration 101, next on the list - Watchlist Orders.

WATCHLIST ORDERS


Watchlist Orders, or WLO, are orders issued by a competent authority against a person monitored closely by the authorities, preventing the departure of an individual for a lawful cause.

In Philippine law, WLO, just like the HDO, are implemented by the Commissioner of Immigration, pursuant to the order issued by the Secretary of Justice.

The issuance of WLOs is governed by Department of Justice Circular No. 18 dated 23 April 2007. However, in the next few days, Department of Justice shall issue a new Circular consolidating the rules on the issuance of HDOs, WLOs and ADOs.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CIRCULAR NO. 18 s. 2007

Under Section 1 of Department Circular No. 18 s. 2007, the Secretary of Justice may issue a WLO, upon a duly notarized letter request of any interested person against any of the following, together with the respective supporting documents:

  1. Those whose case is pending before the lower courts ([a] original or certified true copy of the complaint, and [b] certification from the Clerk of Court that the case is pending);
  2. In cases pending preliminary investigation ([a] original or certified true copy of the complaint, and [b] certification from the National Prosecution Service stating that the case is pending preliminary investigation); or
  3. In cases pending Petition for Review or Motion for Reconsideration before the Department of Justice ([a] original or certified true copy of the resolution, and [b] certification from the National Prosecution Service stating that the case is pending motion for reconsideration/petition for review).
All requests for for the issuance of WLO must be accompanied by a notarized application addressed to the Secretary of Justice and such other supporting documents as may be required by the circumstances.

Under Section 4, all WLOs issued under this Rules are valid for sixty (60) days from the date of its issuance, unless sooner terminated or otherwise extended for a non-extendible period of not more than sixty (60) days.

A WLO shall be lifted or cancelled (Section 3) on the following cases:
  1. Upon the expiration of the validity (Sec. 4), or
  2. Upon the termination of the preliminary investigation and/or petition for review before the Department of Justice.
To lift the WLO, the interested party must submit [a] duly notarized letter request; [b] original or certified true copy of the resolution; and [c] certification from the National Prosecution Service that the case has been dismissed.


Immigration 101 (Part 1) - Hold Departure Orders

In the interest of public service and for the benefit of all Filipinos and aliens here in the Philippines, and abroad I shall be coming out with the Immigration series. First on the list, Hold Departure Orders.


HOLD DEPARTURE ORDERS

Hold Departure Orders, or HDO, is an order issued by a competent authority, preventing the departure of an individual for a lawful cause. It is intended to bind or obligate, to restrain or constrain, to keep in custody or under obligation, a person for his/her acts committed within the Philippines.

In Philippine law, HDO are implemented by the Commissioner of Immigration, pursuant to an order issued by the President, the Secretary of Justice or the Regional Trial Courts, commanding him/her to prevent the departure for abroad of Filipinos or aliens named in the order.

The issuance of HDOs are governed by Department of Justice Circular No. 17 dated 19 March 1998 in case ordered by the Secretary of Justice and Supreme Court Circular No. 39-97 dated 19 June 1997 in case ordered by the Regional Trial Court.


DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CIRCULAR NO. 17 s. 1998

Under Section 2(c) of Department Circular No. 17 s. 1998, the Secretary of Justice, may issue an HDO, upon notarized application of an interested party against any of the following, together with the necessary supporting documents:
  1. An accused released on bail ([a] certified true copy of the Order releasing the person on bail, and [b] certification by the Clerk of Court concerning the case where bail was issued is pending);
  2. A fugitive from justice ([a] certified true copy of the Information and Warrant/Order of Arrest against the fugitive, and [b] certification by the Clerk of Court concerning that the warrant of arrest was returned unserved by the peace officer);
  3. An alien who is the accused in a criminal case that is pending before a court ([a] certification issued by the court concerning the pendency of the criminal case involving the alien, and [b] certified true copy of the Information filed in the case);
  4. An alien who is a respondent in a deportation complaint before the Bureau for violation of immigration laws, rules and regulations, upon recommendation of the Board of Special Inquiry or of the Board of Commissioners ([a] copy of the deportation complaint);
  5. An alien whose presence is required as a witness in a criminal case, or as a defendant/respondent or witness in a civil, labor or other case before a judicial, quasi-judicial or administrative body of the government ([a] certified true copy of the subpoena or summons issued to the alien, and [b] copy of the criminal information or of the complaint in the civil, labor or administrative case wherein the alien's presence is required).
All requests for for the issuance of HDO must be accompanied by a notarized application addressed to the Secretary of Justice and such other supporting documents as may be required by the circumstances.

In Section 2(d), the Secretary of Justice may likewise issue an HDO, upon the request of the Head of a Department of the Government; the head of a Constitutional body or a commission or agency performing quasi-judicial functions; the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for the Judiciary; or the President of the Senate or Speaker of the House of Representatives for the legislative body, when the adverse party is the Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, in the interest of national security, public safety or public health, as may be provided by law. The request shall specify the reason or ground for holding or preventing the departure of the subject individual.

An HDO issued pursuant to this Rules may be lifted, upon request of an interested party, when the case upon which a bail granted has been dismissed, or the accused, regardless of nationality, has been acquitted, or that the alien's presence has been discharged by the appropriate court. All requests for lifting must be notarized and all supporting documents must likewise be attached.


SUPREME COURT CIRCULAR NO. 39-97

The Supreme Court, through the Office of the Court Administrator, issued the said Circular in order to avoid the indiscriminate issuance of HDOs resulting in inconvenience to the affected parties. Accordingly, HDO issued by the Regional Trial Courts shall be issued in criminal cases within the exclusive jurisdiction of the concerned RTC. Hence, the RTC may only issue HDO in cases punishable by prision correccional committed within and filed before its territorial jurisdiction.


DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CIRCULAR NO. 38 s. 1990

The Secretary of Justice may likewise issue an HDO, upon motion of State Prosecutors, Provincial/City Prosecutors and their Assistants, in cases when an accused is charged with the following cases:
  1. Violations of Presidential Decree No. 1866, codifying the laws on illegal/unlawful possession, manufacture, dealing in, acquisition or disposition of firearms, ammunitions and explosives;
  2. Crimes against public order (e.g. rebellion, sedition, etc.) defined and penalized in the Revised Penal Code;
  3. Violations of Republic Act No. 1700, otherwise known as the Anti-Subversion Law (Note: The Anti-Subversion Law has already been repealed by Republic Act No. 7636 in 1992);
  4. Violations of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972, as amended, when the charge is cognizable by the Regional Trial Court (Note: The Dangerous Drugs Act was amended by Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002);
  5. Violations of the Anti-Carnapping Act of 1972;
  6. Violations of the Tariff and Customs Code, as penalized by Sections 3601 to 3603, inclusive, and Sections 3605 to 3610, inclusive;
  7. Bank Frauds and Frauds' against Public Treasury and other crimes involving economic sabotage.
In cases where the accused has jumped bail and fled to another country, the same shall be immediately reported to the Chief State Prosecutor, who shall, with the approval of the Secretary of Justice, make appropriate representations to the Department of Foreign Affairs for the cancellation of the accused's passport and other travel documents so as to make him an undocumented alien in the host country, hence a subject for deportation.


CONCLUSION

Towards the end, the rules on the issuance of Hold Departure Orders should be carefully observed. Inasmuch as we must protect the right of a complainant for appropriate measures to redress his or her grievances, we must likewise give due deference to the right of an individual to travel. The 1987 Constitution is clear when it stated that "neither shall the right to travel be impaired except in the interest of national security, public safety, or public health." Hold Departure Orders should therefore be issued sparingly, but always judiciously, in order that the ends of justice shall be met - that is - the accused of criminal offenses will not evade prosecution and punishment by leaving abroad during the pendency of the criminal proceedings, eluding court processes; and in same vein, the complainant is prevented from making malicious and obviously harassing applications for HDOs.

Election 2010: Where do we go from here?

With less than 24 hours before the country experiences its very first automated elections, minds start to ponder: for the collaborator is to hope for the best and for the critic is to prepare for the worst. What-ifs have been thought of, dooms-day scenarios have been prophesied and the COMELEC has still maintained an all-systems go. The whoever the next Chief Justice has been threatened of impeachment, the Senate President promised an election, the House Speaker jumped ship, the Vice-President is still mum on his choice, and all the while, our President is running for Congress.

Noynoy says he'll stage People Power if he loses, Erap says we'll all see each other at the finish line, Villar shows proof of Noynoy's brain damage anew, Gibo claims victory, Gordon is going to sue survey firms, Jamby thinks she looks like Juday, Nicky is at a lost among the trees while he campaigns, JC brandishes the endorsement of 9 Catholic Bishops, and Acosta is still a no-show.

Mar says he is Noynoy's only VP, Binay closes on the lead, Loren says she's the only one with experience, Edu says he is GAME NA, Bayani's new commercial caaaalllllllllllsssssss ffffffooooooooorrrrr hhhhhiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmm, Chipeco joins in the JC wagon, and Jay Sonza files a disqualification for his missing running-mate.

Gusto ko Happy Ka! Mag-ocho ocho sa Senado! Mabango ang pangalan! Ituloy mo Papa! At your service. Alagang Ilocos itutuloy ko. Hakbang para sa kinabukasan. Galit ako sa buwaya!

Tapat sa usapan, tapat sa bayan. Kapag ako ang nanalo, yang Drugs at sugal, ipatatanggal ko lahat yan! Pagbabago sa Unang Distrito. Maaasahan, may karanasan, may paninindigan. Serbisyong walang kupas.

Tomorrow, I don't know what time I'll get back to Cavite. But one thing is for sure, I shall not miss my date with history. I shall vote.

As for what will happen in the future, that is for Tuesday. Whatever it is.

24% pass 2009 Bar exams: SC

Directly sourced from http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/03/26/10/71-passing-grade-2009-bar-exams-report


MANILA, Philippines (2nd UPDATE) - A total of 1,451 out of the 5,903 examinees or 24.58% passed the 2009 Bar examinations, the Supreme Court announced Friday.

The results will be released at around 6 p.m. Friday.

Justice Antonio Eduardo B. Nachura, chair of the 2009 Committee on Bar Examinations, said "the passing rate was lowered from 75% to 71%."

The disqualification grade in Taxation was also lowered from 49% to 45%.

The Supreme Court said that in the last decade, "the highest passing rate was posted in 2001 with 32.89%, while the lowest was in 2002 with 19.68%."

"The highest passing percentage of all time though in 1954 with 75.17%, while the lowest was in 1999 with 16.59%," it added.

The 2009 Bar Examinations were held on September 6, 13, and 20; and October 4, 2009 at the De La Salle University in Taft Avenue, Manila.

The exams were administered through Deputy Clerk of Court and Bar Confidant Atty. Ma. Cristina B. Layusa.

The Bar exams are traditionally held in 4 consecutive Sundays of September, but the High Court had to reset to October 4, 2009 the last exam week due to the widespread flooding brought about by Typhoon Ondoy.

The Rules of Court provide that "a candidate may be deemed to have passed his examination successfully if he has obtained a general average of 75% in all subjects without falling below 50% in any subject."

In determining the average, subjects in the examinations are given the following relative weights: Political and International Law, 15%; Labor and Social Legislation, 10%; Civil Law, 15%; Taxation, 10%; Mercantile Law, 15%; Criminal Law, 10%; Remedial Law, 20%; and Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises, 5%, for a total of 100%.

The Supreme Court said the list of successful Bar examinees simultaneously will be shown on three LCD monitors strategically set up at the court's front yard. They can also simultaneously be viewed at http://www.sc.judiciary.gov.ph, the official website of the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court said "2009 Bar exams marked the first time that not one but two examiners were designated as examiners in each of the eight Bar examination subjects. Thus, every Bar subject would be divided into two parts, with each designated examiner assigned a specific scope."

"In February 2009, the SC, upon the recommendation of the Committee on Legal Education and Bar Matters, decided to implement the two-examiners per subject policy," the court said.

Nachura announced that the examiners were Atty. Sixto S. Brillantes, Jr. and Atty. Jeremy I. Gatdula (Political and International Law), Court of Appeals (CA) Justice Vicente S.E. Veloso and Atty. Pablo R. Cruz (Labor and Social Legislation), Justice Alicia V. Sempio-Diy (ret.) and Court Administrator Zenaida N. Elepaño (ret.) (Civil Law), Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) Presiding Justice Ernesto D. Acosta and Atty. Edwin R. Abella (Taxation), CA Justice Ramon Paul L. Hernando and Atty. Hector Danny D. Uy (Mercantile Law), Sandiganbayan Justice Edilberto G. Sandoval and CA Justice Mario V. Lopez (Criminal Law), Sandiganbayan Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo and CA Justice Magdangal M. De Leon (Remedial Law), and Sandiganbayan Justice Samuel R. Martires and CA Justice Noel G. Tijam (Legal Ethics and Practical Exercises).

The court said Bar examinations are conducted annually pursuant to its constitutional mandate to promulgate rules governing, among others, the admission to the practice of law.

The first Bar exams were held in 1901, with 13 examinees, the court said.

ACLAS - Alliance of Concerned Law Students

Alliance of Concerned Law Students
Established 1993

Tested by Time, Taught by Experience.
Only one goal - STUDENT SERVICE at its BEST.



Objectives:


1. Unity in Diversity. The ACLAS believes that the Institute of Law of the Far Eastern University is a representative section of the Philippines, a microcosm of our society. As such, we reach out to the various persons, groups, affiliations, and organizations, in the Institute to foster harmonious relations with all students.

2. More than Adequate Representation. The Student Council should, first and foremost, be the voice of the students. As a Party, we believe in the truthful representation of the students’ concerns and grievances to the proper authorities – to fight no matter what and to face the consequences of our stands.

3. Freedom and Justice for all. The ACLAS’ main and foremost concern is the propagation of a free and just administration in the Institute of Law, either by the school administrators or the student leaders.

4. A Tradition of Quality Service. The ACLAS has been the hallmark of student oriented services. Ever since the party was established and countless student leaders have graced the party’s line-up, our projects have been hailed as exemplars of good student practices.

5. Truthful and Honest Administration. The ACLAS believes in the accountability of its chosen leaders. As such, we have been successful in keeping our role as stewards of the students’ trust.


Platforms:


1. Amendment of the Institute of Law Student Council Constitution
Amendment of the provisions limiting student participation in the electoral processes.

2. Institutionalization of the Commission on Elections and the Political Party System
Creation of a Fixed-term Commission on Elections in accordance with University Rules, creation of the COMELEC Rules of Procedure and the Institutionalization of the Political Party System in the Student Council Elections.

3. Pro-active support for the activities of the Central Bar Operations, Legal Rights Center, Far Eastern Law Review and the Moot Court Council

A more positive support for the Institutional Organizations of the Institute, i.e. financial, material and manpower support.

4. Creation of a Student Grievance Committee
The creation of this committee aims to provide an institutionalized venue for the redress of student grievances and look towards the resolution of the problems in a manner that is harmonious and acceptable to all concerned.

5. Continuation of the Law Student Newsletter under a revitalized and independent Editorial System
The Legal Advocate shall become an independent and institutional organization in the Institute of Law in order to foster higher ethical standards for the journalists who shall join its fold.

6. Institutional Celebration of the Law Week
The Law Week Celebration shall become an institutional event that shall mark the establishment of the Institute of Law. During the Law Week, student achievements shall be highlighted and awarded.

Competitive sports tournaments shall be held during the 1st and 2nd Semesters, in order to promote sports activities to all law students. We shall likewise bat for higher subsidies for participants in the Conflicts of Law.

8. Outreach Programs
The Outreach program is an integral part of the party objectives, which aims to help our less fortunate brothers, staying true to our Tamaraw traditions, and causing the development of our society in whatever small measure we may take.

9. Legal and Leadership Training Programs, Forums and Seminars
As law students, legal trainings are essential in our extra-curricular and co-curricular activities, if we can still manage our time. Legal Forums and Seminars should be conducted as much as possible because the Institute of Law is a respected member of the University, upon whom the rest of the studentry reposes their trust.

10. System-wide reform in the Enrollment Process
Problems in the Enrollment process have been the worse issue being raised by students year after year. We shall endeavor to try a new system-wide approach at the enrollment system in the upcoming Summer Enrollment.

11. Voice of the Students
We can never truly define the functions of the Student Council. The functions of the Council are defined by the needs of the students and our needs are overly changing. Just like our government, which cannot act properly if the citizens will not let their voices be heard, the Student Council cannot address your needs if you, the students, do not let us know your needs.

It is wrong to say that the Student Council is working for you. We aim to work with you, our fellow law students. It is with your cooperation that we will truly realize our goals. We are your ears. We are your guide. Never hesitate to voice out your concerns. We are your representatives, and it is our duty to make sure that you are represented.



This area is for students’ voices. We shall represent your voices; we shall promote your interest. You will be our first priority. We shall stand by you although out. We will do it, without promising. We will act on it, without speaking. We will make our stand; together we shall make a difference. Make yourselves heard. We shall make sure that it will reach the highest pinnacle of powers. We shall make it happen. ACLAS – Alliance of Concerned Law Students. All of us are concerned law students, ALL OF US ARE ACLAS!

A Spate of Gubernatorial Reversals - Election 2010

What is going on?

From late last year, a series of gubernatorial election contests, particularly those being handled by the Commission on Elections Second Division consisting of Commissioners Nicodemo Ferrer, Lucenito Tagle, and Elias Yusoph, were being decided in favor of the protestants.

It started with the reversal of the victory of Governor Grace Padaca of Isabela over former Governor Benjamin Dy. Based on the 2007 election results, Padaca had 237,128 votes as against Dy’s 220,121 votes for a margin of 17,007 votes. However, the Second Division resolution, showed that Dy obtained 199,435 votes while Padaca had 198,384 votes for a winning margin of 1,051 votes.

Last week, Governor Joselito Mendoza of Bulacan was ordered by the same COMELEC Division to relinquish the post in favor of former Governor Roberto "Obet" Pagdanganan. In 2007, Mendoza won in 14 out of 24 towns, barely beating Pagdanganan. Mendoza got 364,566 votes while Pagdanganan got 348,834 votes or a margin of 15,732 votes. The result of the revision of ballots showed that Pagdanganan defeated Mendoza by a narrow margin. Pagdanganan garnered 342,295 votes as against 338,064 of Mendoza, or a margin of 4,231 votes.

And just recently, priest and Pampanga Governor Eduardo "Among Ed" Panlilio apparently lost by 2,011 votes against former Board Member Lilia Pineda, wife of alleged jueteng lord Bong Pineda. In 2007, Among Ed won against rival Pineda by a narrow 1,147 votes.

One peculiar feature emerges. All decisions were penned by the poll body's Second Division. All the protestants are Lakas-Kampi-CMD candidates while all protestees are known critics of the Arroyo Administration.

With few months left before a very crucial 2010 elections, the only question that remains in our minds is - what is going on?

Appointment of the next Chief Justice

Can President Arroyo appoint the next Chief Justice?

This controversy was actually the "drunken" discussion of a fraternity hang-out mid last year when one freshman brod asked my position on the possibility of a No-El, or a no election scenario come 2010. Being the most senior that time, I answered that there can be no No-El since the 1987 Constitution still stands and there are a dozen opponents if ever such scenario happen. But, as I told them back then, the more serious question would be the possibility of having no Chief Justice come May 2010. As I told them, this could be the discussion in the legal and political community next year.

Fast forward to present, true enough, lo and behold, my prediction came true. With the current hype, I feel it is my social responsibility to educate the people regarding this.

The reply to the question is NO!

The 1987 Constitution provides in Article VII, Section 15 that


"Two months immediately before the next presidential elections and up to the end of his term, a President or Acting President shall not make appointments, except temporary appointments to executive positions when continued vacancies therein will prejudice public service or endanger public safety." (Emphasis supplied).


The said provision clearly provides a ban on any appointments extended by the President to fill up any vacant offices. This election ban was an out spurt of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Aytona v. Castillo, G.R. No. L-19313, January 19, 1962, which laid the doctrine of caretaker government. The Supreme Court, through Chief Justice Bengzon, revoked the midnight or last minute appointments by President Carlos Garcia and said that:

" x x x it is common sense to believe that after the proclamation of the election of President Macapagal, his was no more than a "care-taker" administration. He was duty bound to prepare for the orderly transfer of authority the incoming President, and he should not do acts which he ought to know, would embarrass or obstruct the policies of his successor. x x x The filling up vacancies in important positions, if few, and so spaced to afford some assurance of deliberate action and careful consideration of the need for the appointment and the appointee's qualifications may undoubtedly be permitted. But the issuance of 350 appointments in one night and planned induction of almost all of them a few hours before the inauguration of the new President may, with some reason, be regarded by the latter as an abuse Presidential prerogatives, the steps taken being apparently a mere partisan effort to fill all vacant positions irrespective of fitness and other conditions, and thereby deprive the new administration of an opportunity to make the corresponding appointments" (Emphasis supplied).

Hence, it is quite clear that appointments cannot be made by the outgoing President, not only because of a clear constitutional provision, but also because of the doctrine laid down by a landmark case.

However, proponents of an early appointment found a correlative provision on judicial appointments in Article VIII, Section 4 (1) which states that:

"The Supreme Court shall be composed of a Chief Justice and fourteen Associate Justices. It may sit en banc or in its discretion, in division of three, five, or seven Members. Any vacancy shall be filled within ninety days from the occurrence thereof" (Emphasis supplied).


The proponents would have been given an ample legal bullet had there not been a precedent on 1998. The then Narvasa Court, through the case of In Re: Valenzuela and Vallarta A.M. No. 98-5-01-SC, November 9, 1998, voided the appointments of two Regional Trial Court judges when President Fidel Ramos did so during the election ban. Chief Justice Narvasa said:
"The Court's view is that during the period stated in Section 15. Article VII of the Constitution — "(t)wo months immediatey before the next presidential elections and up to the end his term" — the President is neither required to make appointments to the courts nor allowed to do so; and that Sections 4(1) and 9 of Article VIII simply mean that the President is required to fill vacancies in the courts within the time frames provided therein unless prohibited by Section 15 of Article VII. It is not noteworthy that the prohibition on appointments comes into effect only once every six years" (Emphasis supplied).


Hence, after clear and concise words from the Constitution and the Supreme Court, the answer is simply, GMA cannot appoint the next CJ!

The Traveller's Chronicle - ALSA Conference 2010 Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Selamat Datang!

Those are the words that immediately welcome you upon arrival at any Indonesian Airport. Comparable to the Filipino’s “Mabuhay” and the Hawaiian’s “Aloha,” one is ushered into a millennia-old cultural experience of a lifetime: by a greeting of “safe coming” from a warm spirited people that at one glance, you would think, looks like us – Filipinos.

The international view of the world regarding Indonesia shaped what we Filipinos would initially have in mind about a place that is more or less like the Philippines. The country was colonized by the Dutch. The streets are crowded. The climate is hot and extremely humid. The air is polluted. The government is corrupt, the economy is down, the military is always on the verge of a coup and the long standing secessionist movement somewhere in the country is making some strides in the countryside. In short, just like home – a place so long forgotten and forsaken by time, that whatever good it has, we have to explore deeper than skin deep.

That is why, when we learned that Yogyakarta (pronounced as Jogjakarta) and Semarang, Indonesia were chosen as the venue of this year’s Asian Law Students’ Association (ALSA) Conference, I decided to do some research on the locations.


VENUE: More than the usual

The cities are both in the central part of Java, Indonesia’s main island. Semarang is the capital city of the Province of Central Java and is a center of Javanese culture. On the other hand, the City of Yogyakarta is the capital of a Special Administrative Region and is the former Indonesian capital city before it was transferred to Jakarta after the Merdeka (meaning freedom, is the name called on the Indonesian War of Independence). It is also the only remaining place in Indonesia that has retained the monarchial Sultanate of Yogyakarta as its political ruler, serving concurrently as the province’s Governor. However, the more interesting fact about the two cities is that along the provinces’ inner roads, enlightening gems abound – a treasure trove of the ancient wisdom and culture of its people.

Both Semarang and Yogyakarta are known as centers of classical Javanese fine art and culture such as batik, ballet, drama, music, poetry and puppet shows. They are also famous as centers for Indonesian higher education with several universities within the area. Both more importantly, the ancient temples of Prambanan and Borobudur, constructed during the pre-Islamic 9th century period, are located at the said provinces.

Batik

It is the national cultural attire of the Indonesians. It may be made of cotton or silk cloth. Javanese traditional batik, especially from Yogyakarta and Surakarta, has special meanings rooted to the Javanese conceptualization of the universe. Traditional colors include indigo, dark brown, and white which represent the three major Hindu Gods (Brahmā, Visnu, and Śhiva). This is related to the fact that natural dyes are only available in indigo and brown. Certain patterns can only be worn by nobility; traditionally, wider stripes or wavy lines of greater width indicated higher rank. Consequently, during Javanese ceremonies, one could determine the royal lineage of a person by the cloth he or she was wearing.

Other regions of Indonesia have their own unique patterns which normally take themes from everyday lives, incorporating patterns such as flowers, nature, animals, folklore or people. The colors of pesisir batik, from the coastal cities of northern Java, are especially vibrant, and it absorbs influence from the Javanese, Arab, Chinese and Dutch culture. In the colonial times pesisir batik was a favorite of the Peranakan Chinese, Dutch and Eurasians.

UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage.

At the Danar Hadi Museum, we were shown how batiks were made. Each batik costs around 2 million to 5 million Indonesian Rupiah each or about 10 thousand to 25 thousand Philippine Pesos.

However, along the trip, despite the beauty of this masterpieces, one should not fail to inquire on the behind the scenes activity on the making of a batik. When we were toured at the batik factory at the back of the museum, one would be distraught at the poor working conditions of the employees of the factory. With no protective gear like masks to prevent the inhalation of poisonous fumes and gloves to protect the hands and arms against hot wax. It is also worthy to note the lack of exhaust pipes in the assembly line, which a person could liken to a large gymnasium. But the most stunning fact is that although a batik costs millions of rupiahs a piece, a worker is paid 30 thousand Indonesian rupiah a day for a 10 hour work schedule.

Prambanan Temple

Prambanan is the ninth century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Sustainer (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound located approximately 18 km east of Yogyakarta City, on the boundary between Yogyakarta and Central Java province.

The temple is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It currently is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest Hindu temples in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the towering 47m high central building inside a large complex of individual temples.

Borobudur Temple

Borobudur is a ninth-century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. A main dome, located at the center of the top platform, is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa.

The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). During the journey the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades.

Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the fourteenth century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam. Worldwide knowledge of its existence was sparked in 1814 by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the then British ruler of Java, who was advised of its location by native Indonesians. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO, following which the monument was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Borobudur is still used for pilgrimage; once a year Buddhists in Indonesia celebrate Vesak at the monument, and Borobudur is Indonesia's single most visited tourist attraction.


FOOD: Taste buds like no other

The Indonesian cuisine, just like the Philippines, is a reflection of the vast cultural exposures that it experienced. There is probably not a single "Indonesian" cuisine, but rather, a diversity of regional cuisines influenced by local culture and foreign influences. However, predominant in their cooking is the distinctive spicy taste, perhaps owing to the historical “Spice Islands,” the very reason why Ferdinand Magellan set sailed towards the west, landed on the shores of an island he thought was Moluccas and claimed it in behalf of the Spanish Crown. And the rest is history.


MUSIC: Sounds like . . .

Although I forgot to take pictures of Indonesia’s traditional musical instruments, the ethnic sounds of Indonesia, particularly that of the Javanese shows signs of Asian and Islamic influences. The musical heritage of Java and Indonesia are priceless jewels that ought to be heard by a traveler whose heart is weary of burdens. When one hears it, it is relaxing and enjoyable. It may be solemn and majestic, but it could also be lively and upbeat. The sounds reflect the natural sounds of the water breaking the beach, of birds chirping in the forest covers, of the erupting volcano and of raging storms. It is a mixture of East and West, photosynthesis of some sort and a reverberation of the amazing cultural experience that is Indonesia.


FINAL HURRAY

I shall go back in Indonesia, as I forgot to buy some fridge magnet for my mom. But more importantly, my taste of Indonesian culture was a bit short. I am coming back for more. Goreng, bakso, bintang, Borobudur, batik, Kota Gedhe silver ring, Jogja, kraton, Malioboro, and many more, wait for me, for I shall return.

In the meantime, to all Indonesians: Terima Kasih!...
