The time has come to settle the debate between those who are for a people’s initiative to propose Charter amendments and those who are against. I would emphasize the word proposal because that is really what a people’s initiative is all about. In other words those who are fighting tooth and nail (Mayors Jejomar Binay and JV Ejercito et al) are against any proposals coming from the people. They are sporting for the wrong fight.

                    [Summary] => Last week, sitting in a special session, the Supreme Court en banc chose six nominees out of 19 aspirants for the two vacant seats in that chamber.


Tomorrow, the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) will name four other nominees to complete the short-list of ten finalists for the two vacancies. It gives you a hint of the characters of the first candidates selected by the High Court that there’s widespread expectation (hope?) in Bench and bar that the JBC’s four nominees will be better than certain nominees of the Supreme Court.
