The anti-dengue vaccine Dengvaxia must be immunized from politics.
The pros and cons on the vaccine are purely medical issues which must be addressed by a panel of impartial experts, not by amateurish legislators and partisan administrators.
The role of the House Committee on Justice is to weigh the evidence, not to gather evidence to plug the gaping loopholes in the Gadon impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.
Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez has tasked the committee to “continue gathering evidence” because the Chief Justice refuses to resign.
The Supreme Court En Banc has constricted the projected testimony of Associate Justice Teresita de Castro to purely administrative matters and not to delve on the deliberations of the High Court which led to the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in the Senior Citizens party-list case.
Facts and figures on summary killings consequent to the Duterte administration’s bloody war on illegal drugs do not lie, but the government mouthpiece does.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque cannot consign into oblivion the mounting bodies of extrajudicial killings by merely incanting that the Duterte administration strictly adheres to the tenets of human rights.
Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque was at best ambivalent when he said that “as of now” there is neither factual nor legal basis for the declaration of a revolutionary government.
Roque claimed that there is absence of a factual basis since any destabilization has not escalated and there is yet no serious threat to oust the President even as the President enjoys majority support.
