An amicus curiae (friend of the court) must impartially advise the court on the issues pending adjudication, but never deceive the court by misleading arguments.

The petition filed by former Solicitor General Estelito Mendoza for him to be allowed as amicus curiaeby the Supreme Court in the anti-terrorism cases does not “befriend” the High Court but demeans its jurisdiction even as he seeks the dismissal of the 29 pending petitions challenging the constitutionality of the “Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020” (ATA).

Where the President travels, whether inside or outside the country, for economic, health or leisure is the nation's concern, irrespective of the utilization of public funds.

The President must appreciate rather than demean this concern.

While both the health and economic crisis wrought by  the still ravaging COVID-19 pandemic must be both effectively addressed, the relief and recovery of the people's health must be prioritized.

Lives lost are forfeited forever but businesses lost can be redeemed.
