Killing the Bill of Rights

09.24.05 | 2 Comments


If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

After effectively banning street protests, what’s next? Censoring news reports inimical to GMA?

There are 19 rights listed in Article III of the 1987 Constitution. Right number 5, freedom of suffrage, well, just say “Hello, Garci”. The current news, that of calibrated whatever, kills number 13, the right to take part in peaceable assembly. They even violated number 9, the right to be secure in one’s person, house, papers, and effects. Need I mention a case?

Read this. This lists down the 19 rights plus annotations.

Arbet,

Just like to let you know that I was mistaken. It was not a Presidential Decree but a Batas Pambansa. Still, it was a law crafted under the Marcos era. The law is entitled B. P. blg. 880 or the Public Assembly Act of 1985.

Punzi is coming out with a blog tomorrow on B. P. Blg. 880. It will be as erudite as usual.
