VERA FILES: An Asian tragedy called Cathy

2012-02-20T09:42:00.003+08:00

GONGJU, South Korea —Two and a half hours south of Seoul by land lies the farming village of Tapgok-ri, a remote part of the city of Gongju. Here, in the middle of nowhere, is where Cathy Deocades lived. It is nothing like the glittery and glamorous world shown in Korean dramas and K-Pop music videos, which are increasingly popular among Filipino women.

Gongju is no Seoul, Busan or Daegu. The houses here are small; hardly any building is higher than two floors. Encircled by mountains, the village is blanketed in snow in winter—and becomes gloomy and depressing—when the temperature drops to far below zero. Beside a cold wind blowing and the occasional dog barking, there is only stillness.

Here on Jan. 11, 2011, Cathy Deocades, 24, was found hanging from a wooden bar in an abandoned house several meters from her home. The police came and concluded suicide. Investigations stopped and the case was closed.

Cathy’s family in the Philippines could not believe a devout Catholic like her would take her own life. Her parents and siblings say she was living a difficult life in a place where she couldn’t speak the language, where she didn’t know the people and where she has been a victim of domestic abuse by her husband and mother-in-law.

But proving these allegations is difficult, even as the findings in the Philippines contradict the Korean certificate of death. Korean authorities did not order an autopsy; in Korea where suicide is common, autopsies are not.

Eight days after her death, Cathy’s body arrived in General Santos City in Mindanao. Her remains, along with the English translation of the Korean death certificate finding suicide as the cause of death, were turned over to Antonietta Odi, medico-legal officer of the City Integrated Health Services Office in General Santos, Cathy’s hometown.

Odi concluded the rope marks on Cathy’s body did not result from hanging. Her finding: “Ligature mark, abraded and contused, 36.0cms., with width ranging from 0.5 cm. to 1.0 cm., neck, anteriorly above the thyroid cartilage, oriented horizontally with almost uniform depth throughout its course.”
The “cause of death,” Odi wrote, is “asphyxia by ligature strangulation.”

According to the website forensicpathologyonline.com, “strangulation is that form of asphyxia which is caused from constriction of the neck by ligature without suspending the body. Pulling a U-shaped ligature against the front and sides of the neck while standing at the back can cause death.”

In short, Odi basically wrote that Cathy did not kill herself. Which also means it must have been a homicide.
Chung Nak-eun, director at the National Forensic Service (NFS) of Korea in Seoul, insists, though, that Odi’s autopsy report is wrong. “I know the case since February 2011,” he said.

On Feb. 28, 2011, the Gongju police asked the NFS to investigate Cathy’s case, after doubts were raised in the Philippines about the circumstances of her death. The NFS report, which reaffirmed that Cathy’s death was a suicide, was issued on March 11.

Chung was then the director of the central district office in Daejon and basically in charge of a possible autopsy, if the prosecutor had demanded one. But no autopsy was ordered.

“That was a big mistake,” Chung repeatedly said as he was explaining the case.

Gongju Prosecutor in charge Ko Ah-ra declined to comment on why no autopsy was carried out.
Yoo Young-kyu, a staff reporter of the Seoul Shinmun who has published extensively on unresolved murder cases, said, however, the real problem is that autopsies are not mandatory in suicide cases in South Korea.
In South Korea, if there is reasonable doubt about the death of a person, the prosecutor orders an autopsy. In Gongju on Jan. 11, 2011, the police found a broken clay pot and surmised that Cathy clambered on to this pot and then kicked it away, hanging herself using the rope from a hoodie sweater.

“There was absolutely no proof that someone else was involved,” said Ham Woo-suck of the crime scene investigation team of the Gongju police.

Dr. Hwang Kyu-yeop of Hyundai Hospital in Gongju city examined Cathy’s body and issued the death certificate, which states suicide as cause of death. In what appears to be a translation error, the English version of the death certificate lists “accident” in the space that asks for “kind of death.”

Hwang, who certified Cathy’s death, said it could not be ascertained if it was a suicide if no autopsy was undertaken. Over the phone in December 2011, he denied writing “suicide” as the cause of death. “I did not tell that to the police,” he said. “I said I don’t know how she died.”

In a later interview for this story at the Hyundai Hospital in Gongju, Hwang explained the procedure when certifying a death. A doctor fills out a form and answers questions about the death by ticking one of several options. And from what he saw on Cathy’s body, he said, nothing he saw spoke of homicide. Everything pointed toward a suicide.

For the reinvestigation, Chung of the NFS used pictures taken after Cathy was found. The ligature marks are clearly V-shaped, he said. When a person dies of hanging, the rope marks on the neck usually form a V. That just means that the rope goes up toward the ceiling and leaves marks on the skin shaped like a V.
Hwang of Hyundai Hospital confirms that. Cathy’s body clearly shows the marks of a case of “unusual hanging” as it is called among forensic experts. The rope does not go up on the back of her head. It left aberrations on the left side of her chin. “It was a suicide. We (the NFS) think the doctor in the Philippines did not describe the ligature mark correctly,” said Chung.

Cathy Deocades married a South Korean truck driver from Tapgok-ri in Gongju City, and lived a life far different from the Korean dramas and K-Pop music videos that are popular among Filipinos.

To be scientifically precise, there is also a theoretical chance that a person did not die of hanging but has been poisoned or drugged, he admits. To exclude these factors, an autopsy is needed that goes beyond the one done in the Philippines, said Chung. The statement had also been made by the doctor signing Cathy’s certificate of death.

“Regardless, it was a big mistake the prosecutor did not order an autopsy here in Korea,” Chung said.
Odi would not comment on the allegations made by Chung as well as her own autopsy report despite repeated phone calls, messaging and faxing for more than six weeks. On the rare occasions she talked on the phone, the medico-legal would only say she would give a comment soon.

Despite the reinvestigation by the NFS, Cathy’s family in the Philippines still doubts the official version of her death. Philippine embassy public interest lawyer So Ra-mi had represented the family in South Korea. Last Dec. 21, she assumed the case would be closed the next few days as the reinvestigation has not led to new discoveries.

Indeed, on Dec. 26, 2011, Prosecutor Ko Ah-ra issued the final report: Case closed.

Update: 3 killed in Kidapawan City jail raid

2012-02-20T09:27:00.001+08:00

KIDAPAWAN CITY, Philippines – Three persons were killed while 12 others were injured following an attack on the city jail here around 10 p.m. Sunday, February 19.

Police Supt. Raul Supiter, deputy provincial commander of North Cotabato, said at least 12 heavily unidentified armed men fired a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) on the wall of the city jail in an attempt to rescue Datukan Samad alias Lastikman.

Samad, who was charged with kidnapping with ransom, robbery in band with double homicide and multiple murder charges, has been detained after he was arrested in December last year.

Supiter said the suspects were wearing ski masks, black shirts and black pants. "They fired the RPG first then fired on high-powered rifles on the gate," he said quoting the spot report from the city police office.

But the suspects failed to rescue Samad as the jail guards were able to repel them.

As the armed men fled towards barangay Nuwakan, shooting some persons along the way, the police said.

Supiter said a combined police unit from the city and provincial police office and rescue units ran after the fleeing suspects.

"Hinabol kasi nila, may improvised explosive device (IED) pala. Malapit lang sa city jail sumabog," he said adding that the explosion killed three members of the rescue unit.

While the 12 others who were injured were immediate rushed to the hospital.

Samad is believed to be a follower of rogue Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) commander Umra Kato, who broke away from MILF and formed his own group known as Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom.

REPRINTED FROM ORIGINAL STATEMENT:
Tugon ng Punong Mahistrado sa Talumpati ng Pangulo sa La Consolacion College tungkol sa Impeachment Proceedings (ika-17 ng Pebrero, 2012)

Ako po ay nananawagan sa ating pangulo na huwag pakialaman, pangunahan at impluwensiyahan ang Senate Impeachment Court. Mayroon pong proseso ang impeachment proceedings, at iyan po ay nakasaad sa ating Saligang Batas at sa mga alituntunin at kalakaran sa Senado. Hindi po ba't kayo ang pumili ng hakbang na ito at nagdulog nito sa Senado? Huwag po natin ilayo ang usapin sa proseso ng Impeachment Court at idaan sa media ang paghusga sa akin. Pabayaan po nating umusad ang kaso nang ayon sa batas at sa proseso nito. Gaya po ng una ninyong nasabi, higit na makabubuti kung kayo po ay "magmasid at manahimik muna."

Doon po sa mga nabanggit ninyong "tila ba sadya tayong hinihilo o inililigaw para mawalan ng interes," wala po tayong dapat sisihin diyan kung hindi ang inyong mga taga-usig na siyang naglabas ng huwad na listahan ng aking mga ari-arian, naglathala ng aking sahod upang ipakita na wala akong kakayahang bumili, nguni't hindi naman isinama ang pangkalahatang sitwasyon, at nitong huli, nagharap ng mga palsipikadong dokumento ng bangko. Sino po ba ang talagang nanlilinlang ng taong bayan?

Bilang pangulo ng bayan, hindi po ninyo kailangang "liwanagin ang dapat liwanagin, at ituwid ang isyung pilit dinidiskaril ng ilan." Tungkulin po iyan ng Senate Impeachment Court. Ang tungkulin po ninyo ay hanapan ng lunas ang lumalalang kahirapan at pagkagutom ng marami nating mamamayan, walang humpay na pagtaas ng presyo ng gasolina at ng ibang pangunahing bilihin, patuloy na demolisyon ng tirahan ng mga maralita, at mabagal na tugon sa mga nasalanta ng kalamidad dala ng kapabayaan sa kalikasan. Itong mga ito po ang dapat ninyong pagtuunan ng pansin.

Bakit po ninyo tinuturuan ang kabataan na maghusga na hindi alam ang buong katotohanan, na iisang panig pa lang ang nadidinig? Ganito po bang "hustisya" at "fair play" ang tinuturo ninyo sa kabataan? Bigyan ninyo po ako ng pagkakataon na magbigay ng aking panig, magharap ng aking ebidensiya, sagutin ang inyong mga walang basehang paratang, at ilahad ang katotohanan. Ito po ang tunay na katarungan at ang naaayon sa ating Saligang Batas.

Kung kayo po ay nababagalan na sa pag-usad ng kasong isinampa ninyo laban sa akin, ang solusyon ay nasa kamay ng inyong mga taga-usig.

Ako po ay naglabas na ng aking SALN. Hindi ko po ito itinatago. Ang hindi po paglathala nito ay ayon sa nabuong patakaran ng Korte Suprema dalawang dekada na ang nakalipas, hindi pa po ako mahistrado. Ang SALN ko po ay aking ipaliliwanag pagdating ng aking oras o pagkakataon, ayon sa proseso ng impeachment proceedings. Marahil, higit na makabubuti kung ilabas na rin ninyo, Ginoong Pangulo, ang inyong SALN, at ipaliwanag ito sa taong-bayan. Siguro, isama ninyo na rin ang inyong bank accounts at psychological records na matagal ng isyu. Mayroon po tayong obligasyon na ipakita sa taong-bayan na maayos ang ating pagiisip.

Hinggil po doon sa nabanggit ninyong kaso na Rabe v. Flores, na kung saan ang isang court interpreter ay natanggal sa serbisyo, dapat po sigurong maipaliwanag sa inyong mabuti ng inyong mga magagaling na abogado na si Bb. Flores ay natanggal sa serbisyo hindi lamang dahil sa hindi niya dineklara sa kanyang SALN ang kanyang paupahan. Si Bb. Flores po ay natanggal dahil sa pangunahing dahilan na tumanggap po siya ng "double compensation" o sahod ng dalawang beses, isa galing sa bayan ng Panabo, Davao, at yung isa mula sa korte.

Sang-ayon po ako sa inyo na dapat hindi na payagang "magpatuloy ang sistema kung saan may nanlalamang at nilalamanagan." Nasa mga 20 po lamang ang aking mga tagapagtanggol na nagseserbisyo ng libre, laban sa 188 congressmen at humigit kumulang na 60 private prosecutors, lahat sumasahod sa kaban ng bayan. Ito po ba ay tama? Idagdag pa po natin diyan ang BIR at LTO Commissioners, LRA Administrator, Registers of Deeds, BID Commissioner, at marami pang ibang opisyal at kawani ng pamahalaan na inuutusan upang hanapan ako at ang aking buong pamilya ng mga kamalian.

Ginagamit na po ninyo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno upang ako at ang aking buong pamilya ay apihin at pagmalupitan. Ito po ba ang patas na laban? At matuwid na daan?

Nananawagan din po ako sa taong-bayan. Kontrolado po ng ating pangulo ang buong Executive Department. Kontrolado rin po niya ang House of Representatives. Huwag po nating payagan na mahawakan pa niya ang Senado. Huwag po tayong pumayag na posasan niya ang Korte Suprema at buong hudikatura. Ito po ay para sa ating demokrasya. Ito po ay para sa ating lahat.

Anakbayan slams Globe proposal to end 'Unlitext' as 'Unli-Greed'

2012-02-20T08:38:00.001+08:00

The youth group Anakbayan today blasted the telecommunications giant Globe for the latter's plans to end its 'Unlitext' plans, caling it 'Unli-Greed' in part of the corporation.

The group cited a study by the scientists' organization AGHAM which showed that the cost of sending a single text message is one-hundreth of a centavo (P0.00001). This means that for every regular, or non-'unlitext' SMS sent, Globe makes a profit of 9,990,900%. Last year, Globe recorded revenues of P67.8 billion, and P62 billion in 2010.

"The profits Globe makes are ridiculous. The only thing more ridicuous than it is the company's refusal to accept even minor reductions to its earnings" said Vencer Crisostomo, national chairperson of Anakbayan.

He added that the telco cannot claim 'upgrading of its network and equipment' as justification for ending 'unlitext' plans, considering Globe has admitted P129.8 billion in earnings in the last two years alone.

The youth leader called on the National Telecommunications Commission to 'step in' and 'moderate the greed' of the telco.

"In an age where the cellphone and SMS have become indispensable in the lives of ordinary Filipinos, Globe's 'Unli-Greed' will impact the wallets of millions of Filipinos. On top of price hikes in petroleum products, and electricity and water services, this is a burden many of us can ill-afford" said Crisostomo.

Catanduanes rep win upheld

2012-02-19T08:24:00.001+08:00

The House ofRepresentatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET) has upheld the victory of CatanduanesRep. Cesar Sarmientoin the May 2010 congressional elections after dismissing the electoral protestfiled by his rival, AraceliWong.

A formervice governor, Sarmiento won by a slim margin of 713 votes over Wong (50,439votes against 49,726) and by overwhelming margins over the two others, aftermore than 120,000 votes in the province were tabulated.

In adecision in HRET Case No. 10-028 dated last Feb. 8, the nine-man HRET chairedby Supreme Court Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr. ruled that Wongfailed to substantiate her allegations that she was deprived of victory mainlydue to defects in the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines and by"lateral acts" of alleged vote-buying and voters' intimidation bySarmiento's camp.

He hailedthe HRET decision as "a timely reaffirmation of the integrity of theautomated voting," which was first adopted nationwide in the May 2010polls.

The HRETalso said no witness was ever presented to back up Wong's allegations.

However,the HRET recount of the contested 25 percent of the total votes questioned byWong, had shown the lawmaker increasing his overall lead by 24 votes to 737.

The impeachment players

2012-02-19T07:55:00.000+08:00

Lead Prosecutor: Representative Tupas heads the House Judiciary Committee and has made himself the face of the Prosecution panel and although he may have all the necessary qualifications to lead the team he just doesn't look or sound the part.

In this televised impeachment trial where form is about as important as substance, Tupas just does not cut it sadly.

Former Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas Lead Defense Counsel: Justice Cuevas is "the" lawyer you'd want to have defending you in court.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile Presiding Officer: Given Enrile's colorful past, some sectors bore initial reservations on whether the Senate President should even be allowed to adjudicate in any court.

But in the days since, Enrile has proved himself as fair-minded, even-handed, and even now at 88 years of age, a person with a first-rate legal mind.

Overall, our impeachment court TV drama doesn't seem ready for prime-time, and in reality falls far short when compared to televised proceedings of similar importance in other countries.

Ex-Member of the GSIS Board of Trustees "insured" for tax evasion

2012-02-17T09:48:00.000+08:00

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) today filed a criminal complaint with the Department of Justice against Atty. JESUS I. SANTOS for four (4) counts of willful attempt to evade or defeat tax and four (4) counts of willful failure to supply correct and accurate information in his Income Tax Return (ITR) and to pay the correct tax for taxable years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, all in violation of Section 254 and Section 255 of the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, as amended (Tax Code).

Atty. SANTOS is a former member of the Board of Trustees of the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) with addresses at Room 1201 Travellers Inn Condo, 7880 Makati Avenue, Makati City and No. 100 Abangan Norte, Marilao, Bulacan.

It can be recalled that top executives of Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) and Government Financial Institutions (GFIs) were the subject of a Senate Committee on Finance (SCF) inquiry after it became public that they received excessive and unwarranted bonuses and allowances. Atty. SANTOS was included in the said inquiry as one of the members of the Board of Trustees of GSIS.

The said inquiry prompted the BIR to issue a Letter of Authority and look into the financial transactions of Atty. SANTOS aided by documents from the Senate Committee on Finance (SCF) and the GSIS.

A comparison made by BIR investigators of the income or revenues declared by Atty. SANTOS in his ITRs for taxable years 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 as against the income payments he received from GSIS in the same years revealed that he deliberately failed to declare his correct tax base by substantially underdeclaring his income for the said years.

It was learned that Atty. SANTOS received from GSIS P4.19 in 2006, P4.90M in 2007, P7.39M in 2008 and P8.18M in 2009 in his capacity as member of the Board of Trustees. In contrast, he only declared P1.18M, P1.28M, P0.84M and P0.83M in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively.

An underdeclaration of income or revenues of more than 30% under the Tax Code is considered substantial and constitutes prima facie evidence of a false or fraudulent return tantamount to tax evasion.

Atty. SANTOS is being sued for a total deficiency tax of P12.32M, including surcharges and interests, broken down as follows: P2.47M - 2006; P2.62M – 2007; P3.52M – 2008; and P3.72M – 2009.

The case against Atty. JESUS I. SANTOS is the ninetieth (90th) filed under the Run After Tax Evaders (RATE) program of the BIR under the leadership of Commissioner Kim S. Jacinto-Henares. (reytdlc)

Corona files new petition to stop trial

2012-02-14T08:53:00.000+08:00

CHIEFJUSTICE RENATO CORONA has filed a supplementary petition before the SupremeCourt, seeking to stop the trial on the basis that most of the senator-judgeshave indicated their biases against him.

He calls thetrial an “inquisition” and insisted that he and his family had enough wealth tostart with and that they did nothing wrong while acquiring more assets.

Part of thispetition reads:

“Throughout my public career, I have neverbeen involved in any anomaly or scandal. Whatever assets my wife and I haveacquired are products of 45 years of toil and honest work,”

“My wife and I have been privileged to comefrom families of comfortable means. We grew up never lacking in anything andeven enjoyed some luxuries. We earned our academic degrees in some of the bestexclusive schools in the country,”

Corona said thathe earned several postgraduate degrees, including a master’s degree in HarvardLaw School and that their parents “provided well for our future.”

“Family resources continue to be available tous anytime. I had a very successful career in the private sector where I was atop executive before I joined the government. That is public record,”

“For thepast 40 years, my wife and I lived in a house, which was inherited property,and for that reason never had to pay rent or amortization on our residence.This translated to significant savings over forty years,”

Corona saidhe and his wife lived “simple and frugal lives since we got married more than40 years ago, to the point of thriftiness.”

“This contributed to how we have been able toaccumulate these assets. Other than our house, which we have lived in foralmost 40 years, we have never had any other house,”

“I do notspend on vices like smoking, drinking or gambling, and have been completelydevoted to my family. My family has always been my priority,”

“It pains me to see my family suffer thereckless abandon of a few who want to paint a different Renato C. Corona. Iwill not allow a career carefully nurtured and a family lovingly cared for in mylifetime to be tarnished by people in the business of lies and falsehoods,”

Corona said he was determined to “explaineverything satisfactorily” when it was the defense’s turn to present itsevidence.

“If you look closely at the documents alreadymarked, the explanations are all there. In the meantime, I would like torequest the public not to make any hasty conclusions,”

“This‘exposé’ that the prosecution is trying to herald as another ‘bombshell’ will,in due time, be exposed as another dud like the 45 properties they claimed Iowned,” he said.

Oil prices up again

2012-02-14T06:22:00.001+08:00

Oil companies announced a newround of price hikes in their fuel products on Valentine's Day. Caltex, Petronand Shell said diesel prices would go up by P0.85 per liter while gasoline willincrease by P0.50 per liter at 6 a.m.

Shell said its Fuel SaveUnleaded, Premium, V-Power, and Regular Gasoline will increase by P0.50 perliter. This, a few hours after the Department of Enegy alerted motorists aboutanother impending oil price hike. The DOE says imported fuels rose by $1 to$4/barrel in the world market. Normally, a one-dollar hike translates to a P.30to P.30 per liter increase in local prices.
Shell says its kerosene, FuelSave diesel, and V-Power diesel will rise by P0.85 per liter. Similar pricehikes are being implemented by Caltex and Petron.

Meanwhile, transport groupshave asked the government to fasttrack programs for alternative fuel.

Rolando Marquez, president ofLiga ng Transportasyon at Operators ng Pilipinas (LTOP), pushed for thehastening of the development of the facilities for cheaper compressed naturalgas.
Pasang Masda president ObetMartin said the group is already resigned that government cannot do anythingabout these price hikes.

Malacanang offering P100M to senator-judges?

2012-02-13T09:38:00.000+08:00

Lawyers of Chief Justice Renato Corona revealed what they called efforts by Malacanang to pressure some senator-judges into defying a Supreme Court order restraining the impeachment court from looking into his dollar account.

In a hastily arranged press conference, nine members of the defense team condemned the Palace for allegedly undermining the impeachment process and the Constitution for purportedly trying to win senators over.

Jose Roy III, a member of the defense team, said the panel received information that the Palace was dangling "P100 million per senator" to be released this week in exchange for defying the TRO.

Corona's camp said he would confront the issue of his bank deposits once the defense gets its turn to formally present evidence later in the impeachment trial.

Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said in a text message: "The P100 million is a complete fabrication concocted by the desperate Corona defense lawyers.

"Their energies and time are better spent preparing for [today's] continuing hearings on the hidden and now exposed dollar and peso accounts of Corona in PSBank and BPI," Abad said, referring to the Chief Justice's alleged unreported deposits in the two banks.

During the press conference, Corona's lawyers were pressed to reveal their sources, but they stood their ground and said it was up to the informant to decide whether to come out.

Defense may seek SC action

2012-02-08T06:50:00.000+08:00

Defense counsels of Chief Justice Renato Corona say they might resort to a court order, possibly from the Supreme Court, barring the Senate as an impeachment tribunal from receiving bank documents as evidence unless it entertained a motion for reconsideration he would file.

Serafin Cuevas, a former justice secretary and former associate justice of the Supreme Court, was about to file on Monday night a motion for reconsideration right after the Senate issued subpoenas to officials of two Philippine banks to produce documents showing that Corona has deposits he allegedly failed to declare in his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN). However, Senator Francis Escudero immediately pointed out that only senator-judges were allowed to file such motions for reconsideration on rulings of the Senate President as presiding officer.

While Cuevas did not challenge Escudero's statement at the time, Senator Miriam Santiago, who was absent on Monday, submitted a letter to Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile on Tuesday which constituted a motion for reconsideration against the subpoenas.

Santiago cited three reasons the Senate should reconsider the orders issued to representatives of Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) and Bank of the Philippine Islands branches in Makati City where Corona purportedly keeps deposits.

At one point, Cuevas raised his hand and volunteered that if the impeachment court would not accept his motion for reconsideration opposing the appearance of the bank officials and their presentation of bank documents, "then we'll have no other alternative but to seek another venue." "If the policy of the impeachment court is that no motion for reconsideration may be made by counsel, then where else are we going to go to question the validity or legality of decision of this court, your honor?" Cuevas said the situation forced the defense panel to consider filing a petition for certiorari that would compel a court, in this case the Senate as an impeachment court, to rethink the subpoenas issued to bank representatives.

He added that while the Supreme Court would reject motions for reconsideration if several had been filed in a specific case, "a first motion for reconsideration is decided and cannot be precluded by any judiciary branch of the government, whether the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court." This impeachment court is supreme in its power to try and decide impeachment cases," Drilon added.

Dozens missing in Visayas quake

2012-02-08T06:43:00.001+08:00

Dozens of people were still missing Tuesday following a strong earthquake that triggered landslides and damaged buildings and roads on a central Philippine island.

Monday's magnitude-6.9 quake also collapsed bridges on Negros Island, forcing soldiers and firefighters to hike mountains to reach remote villages.

The quake was caused by movement in an undersea fault 44 miles north of Dumaguete, the capital of Negros Oriental province, and about 400 miles southeast of the nation's capital, Manila.

With at least 82 people still missing, many of them in landslides that buried homes, the casualties could top a 2004 quake on Mindoro Island, south of Manila.

DOH to hire more nurses?

2012-02-08T06:33:00.000+08:00

In 2010, the Department of Health (DOH) in collaboration with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) catapulted an employment-generating project for thousands of Filipino registered nurses who were either underemployed or unemployed.

Dubbed as "RN-HEALS" (Registered Nurses for Health Enhancement and Local Service), the latest program is a far cry from its previous version (NARS project) last 2009 which only provided 6 months of combined community and hospital experience.

However, only a meager 25,000 (or less) registered nurses got the chance to work during the previous two batches, failing to keep up with the current growth of unemployed/underemployed nurses in the country, which is about to reach its half a million mark this year.

According to Department Order 2011-0239 of the Department of Health, successful applicants shall receive 8,000 PHP each month while midwives will receive 6,000 pesos per month.

Also, the Local Government Units will give successful applicants an amount of 2,000 pesos in addition to other benefits like PhilHealth Insurance of 1,200 pesos per year, Group Accident Insurance enrollment of 500 pesos per year, and certificate of completion after satisfactory completion of the project.

Some frustrated nurses also blurted out that a fair chance for them to be accepted dwindled even more because the new application process increased the vulnerability of the RN-HEALS program to be dominated by those who rely most on nepotism and the notorious "backer system".

Despite flaws and unresolved issues, the RN-HEALS Batch 3 is said to be opening its doors once more for another 1,900 registered nurses this new year.

CBCP umaasa na mabilis ang trial

2012-02-01T10:08:00.000+08:00

Umaasa ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines o CBCP na mabilis na matatapos ang impeachment trial kay Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Iginiit ni CBCP Vice President at Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas na mahalagang mapabilis ang proseso nang sa gayon ay makakabalik na ang bansa sa normal na sitwasyon at matututukan na ang mga mahihirap.

Naniniwala si Villegas na ang mga mahihirap ang mga tahimik na biktima sa impeachment process dahil naaantala ang mga serbisyo ng gobyerno.

Tila naisasantabi rin umano ang mga problema sa kapaligiran, pabahay, agrikultura at isyu ng pamamahagi ng lupa nang dahil sa impeachment process.

Dahil duon, sinabi ni Villegas na ipinagdarasal nila na matatapos na ang paglilitis sa lalong madaling panahon nang sa gayon ay matutukan na rin sa lalong madaling panahon ang mga mahihirap. B. Gonzales

Malakanyang dumistansiya sa prosecution sa mga balak na testigo

2012-02-01T10:07:00.002+08:00

Walangbasbas ng malakanyang ang sinabi ni congressman niel tupas na gumagawa umanosila ng paraan sa kongreso upang matanggal din sa puwesto ang iba pang mgaappointee ni dating pangulong Gloria arroyo lalo na sa korte suprea.

Ayon kaydeputy presidential spokesperson Abigail valte, kahit kaalyado ngadministrasyon si tupas, hindi ito kumakatawan sa posisyon ng pamahalaan.

Paliwanag nivalte, maaalis lamang sa puwesto ang sinumang opisyal ng pamahalaan batay sakapalpakan at hindi base kung sino ang nagtalaga sa kanya sa naturang posisyon.

Reaksiyonito ni valte kaugnay ng mga report nabukod kay chief justice renato corona, balak din na ipa-impeach ang iba pangmga mahistrado sa supreme court na itinalaga ni dating pangulong Gloria arroyo. M Rigonan
