[Title] => ‘SC may no longer tackle con-ass’
[Summary] =>
The Supreme Court might not take up during its regular session today the petition of former senator John Osmeña seeking to stop the House of Representatives from convening as a constituent assembly, a court official said yesterday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the SC official said Osmeña’s petition appeared to be "premature" as there is no controversy yet that needs the intervention of the court.
"The President herself called off (the constituent assembly)," the source said.

[Title] => Absurdity
[Summary] =>
This final push for cha-cha is unfortunately getting messier. The proponents seem to be hell bent in achieving their purpose by hook or by crook. They even look at those who question the legality and impropriety of their adopted mode of how to cha-cha as being anti cha-cha. Even people who are convinced that our constitution really needs some changes for the better but question the legality and propriety of the methods used have been branded as anti cha-cha.
