The Arroyo Presidency started with a serious constitutional question. Can a Vice President take over as President when there is no vacancy in the Office of the President? Indeed, there was an abnormal situation then. The so-called EDSA II forced the then President Estrada out of Malacanang. But Arroyo and her minions refused to characterize it as a revolution. A revolution would have meant the removal of all, including Arroyo, then the Vice President. It would have meant a people-determined succession. Maybe a new election would have been required. And so Arroyo and her cohorts insisted on a constitutional succession after an extra-constitutional phenomenon. |

Just in the past year we have witnessed the sprouting of FilAm businesses in the retail, restaurant, and healthcare industry in United States. Some were change in management and/or expansion while others are really new in the arena. In West Valley (Phoenix) alone there were five stores/restaurants I can account for where three of them closed down for some apparent reasons. Recently, in a week time, two of the three owners have decided to quit conducting business. What’s the reason for all of these? Was it the economy? Was it the lack of business knowledge? Was it the scarcity of patrons/customers? Was it the competition? Whatever was the reason, I hope those owners were not hurt financially in a large scale. |

MANILA, July 14 (PNA) -— The Supreme Court (SC), in an 18-page decision released Monday, junked three petitions seeking the cancellation of the controversial ZTE broadband deal saying that the issue has become “moot and academic” with the scrapping of the US$ 329.48 million project by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo last Oct. 2, 2007. The three petitions were respectively filed by Iloilo Vice Governor Rolex Suplico, Amsterdam Holdings Inc., and the Lawyers and Advocates for Accountability, Transparency, Integrity and Good Governance (LATIGO). |
