Not-so- Current Affairs

The Season of (in)Justice

The Christian world is about to commemorate the birth of the King of Justice. And, as you ponder on the occassion, please also ask yourself:

1. Whatever happened to the Daily Tribune case? This case is buried deep by the high-profile cases that the Supreme Court has resolved. I believe this case actually has the biggest impact on our daily lives. Never has the Bill of Rights been trampled upon with impunity.

To remind you what happened on that issue: during the height of the so-called State of Emergency (which turned out to be overblown paranoia), the Philippine National Police had forcibly entered the editorial offices of the newspaper and took several things, without search warrants. The police even posted a policeman outside the office.

John Marzan is the unofficial chronicler; here are his post on this topic:

* PNP takes over the Daily Tribune
* Daily Tribune offices Raided

2. Is Raul Gonzalez really the Secretary of Justice?
3. And of course, 2004.
