    SC defers action on burial petitions

President Rodrigo Duterte said that the scale of the drug problem may warrant the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, a court order for the government to make a person in custody appear.

The Supreme Court decided to allow ousted dictator Ferdinand Marcos to be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, or Heroes' Cemetery, saying no laws disqualify him from the privilege.

Suspected drug lord Albuera Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. was killed in his jail cell, after allegedly shooting at police officers. An investigation was launched. Do you consider this as an extrajudicial killing?

While in Beijing, President Duterte announced his intent to cut military and economic ties with the United States, a defense ally which has been among the country's top trade partners, while pursuing a stronger relationship with China. Do you agree with his announcement?

President Duterte is expected to sign this month an order declaring a nationwide smoking ban. "There will be no smoking in public places anymore, whether indoor or outdoor. Parks, bus stations, and even in vehicles. All these are considered public places," Health Secretary Paulyn Ubial said. Read the story.

Is there a need to suspend writ of habeas corpus to address the drug problem?
What's your reaction to the Supreme Court decision on Marcos' burial?
Do you consider the killing of drug suspect Espinosa extrajudicial?
Should the Philippines split militarily and economically from the US?
Should government ban smoking in all public places?
