Twas The Days Before Christmas

“Twas the days before Christmas, when all through the Lower House
All the Representatives were stirring, headed by Neil Tupas.
The impeachment was introduced by the Majority with dare,
In hopes that the Chief Justice would soon be out of their hair.

The Congressmen were nestled all quick with their pens,
While visions of pork barrel danced in their heads.
And the Senators in their judicial robes, and Pnoy’s happy clap,
Had just settled their brains for a long impeachment rap.”

Christmas is nearing. The big day is just around the corner, but still a lot of troubling events are happening within our country. Let us take a look at some of these, but a fair warning because you may not be pleased.

Congrats To All The Winners!

Congratulations to all the following “Winners”

1. Miriam Defensor Santiago

Elected as judge to the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.

The ICC is an independent international organisation, and is not part of the United Nations system. Its seat is at The Hague in the Netherlands. Although the Court’s expenses are funded primarily by States Parties, it also receives voluntary contributions from governments, international organisations, individuals, corporations and other entities.

Santiago will be the the first Asian from a developing country to have a seat in the ICC. She is the third Filipino to be elected to UN courts. First, Chief Justice Cesar Bengzon to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), then Romeo Capulong to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).

“I would like to thank my political enemies who may have campaigned to bring me out of the country” she said.
