PRESIDENT Aquino has appointed Evelina Buencamino Guevara-Escudero, the mother of Sen. Francis Joseph Escudero, as a member of the Board of Regents of the University of the Philippines.
MANILA, Philippines — The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Saturday called on everyone – particularly Malacañang, the Senate, and the prosecution panel – to respect the Supreme Court’s temporary restraining order (TRO) stopping the impeachment court from compelling the Philippine Savings Bank to disclose the foreign currency accounts of Chief Justice Renato C. Corona.


Escudero, who replaces Magdaleno Albarracin Jr., will serve a term expiring on February 18, 2014.
“It is more academic for the Senate to respect the TRO,” Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma, CBCP president said over Church-run Radyo Veritas.


Escudero obtained her home economics degree from the University of the Philippines, and later, her Master in Educational Administration and her doctorate in education from the same institution.
“There is a law of secrecy for dollar accounts,” Palma said.


She is the wife of Nationalist People’s Coalition Rep. Salvador Escudero III of Sorsogon, a former secretary of Agriculture and dean of the UP College of Veterinary Medicine.
Palma, however, stressed that the CBCP is not siding with anyone on the issue and it is leaving the decision to the Senate impeachment court.


Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda also announced the appointment of judges of the Metropolitan Trial Court in Caloocan City.
“We leave this matter in the hands of the senator-judges. We are not siding with anyone. The ball is now in the hands of the Senate. Let’s just trust and respect the process,” he said.


They are Judge Marlo Campanilla, Branch 83; Judge Dennis Rafa, Branch 84; Judge Michael Francisco, Branch 85; and Judge Lourdes Grace Barrientos Sasondoncillo, Branch 86.
Last Thursday, the Supreme Court, in an 8-5 vote, stopped the Senate from compelling the PSBank from revealing the details of Corona’s dollar bank accounts.


Campanilla was Fourth Assistant City Prosecutor in Manila at the time of his appointment, while Rafa was Prosecutor II of Makati City.
Impeachment Splits Church Leaders


Sasondoncillo had served as graft investigation and Prosecution Officer I of the Office of the Ombudsman at the time of her appointment.
But church leaders are split on whether the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice should continue.


Since July 2011, Francisco served as general counsel of HTT Realty & Recreational Corp., Lionhead Intl Corp., Jomark Food Corp., and Millennium Ocean Star Corp.
Caloocan Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez and Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes said the trial in the Senate should continue.
 
“The impeachment must be finished to get the truth,” Iñiguez said. “It must go on to find more truth about Corona,” Bastes said.
 
Even the national director of the Philippine Council of Evangelical Churches (PCEC) favors going ahead with the trial.
 
“We should proceed with the trial to uphold the rule of law and instill accountability to everyone,” Bishop Efraim Tendero said in a text message.
 
“Stopping the trial will allow the accused to present his defense and let the senator-judges discharge their duty with probity,” he added.
 
Lipa City (Batangas) Archbishop Ramon Arguelles has taken the opposite view, and wants the trial stopped “to save the country from institutional disaster.”
 
“Many leaders should be saved from this embarrassing situation,” Arguelles said. “The charges of corruption must be done in another forum and when proven guilty, then CJ (Chief Justice) should be convicted and barred from government position for good.”
 
All others similarly guilty, Arguelles said, must be prosecuted, jailed, and kept from further corrupt practices.
 
He said a person who has sufficient proof should bring anyone guilty to court.
 
“No one is above the law. This is not only for CJ. This is for any corrupt official. If such is done against CJ as an individual, there’s no way the whole judicial body will be dragged in the issue,” said Arguelles.
 
Last Thursday, Corona’s camp asked the Supreme Court to stop the impeachment trial as it accused the Senate, sitting as the impeachment court, of grave abuse of discretion.
 
According to the petitioners, the Senate committed grave abuse of discretion when it granted the prosecution’s motion to subpoena Corona’s bank records to the trial.
 
They said the Supreme Court should stop the trial, pending the resolution of its request to strike down Section 2.3 of Article II of the Articles of Impeachment, which accuses Corona of not properly declaring all his assets in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN).

Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.

Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

  • Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
  • Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:
  1. The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
  2. The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

Kaya Iloilo sweeps Group B in Copa '21

MANILA – Kaya Iloilo pipped Mendiola with a 6-0 beating on Wednesday night to complete a sweep of Group B action in the Copa Paulino Alcantara at the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona.

A Jovin Bedic brace in the first half set the tone for the inaugural tournament champ even as the club netted three goals in each of the two halves to seal the top seed in its group ahead of the semifinals next week.

Bedic capitalized on an erroneous Mendiola attempt to keep the ball out of his reach and quickly raced inside the penalty box to open the scoring for Kaya Iloilo in the 11th minute.

Respect Supreme Court TRO, CBCP Urges
