But in our hearts she will remain, especially in those of media persons whom she defended, pro bono, during the Marcos regime. This columnist and many other journalists saw her deftly handle their libel cases filed by military generals, government officials and businessmen who could not stand criticism.

The EMB agrees on the need for a second official carrier, noting that of the 5.7 million in seat entitlement of the country, only 30 percent is being utilized.
