                    [Summary] => Notwithstanding the setback suffered by the opposition yesterday in its impeachment effort before the House of Representatives, constitutional expert Fr. Joaquin Bernas said there is still a chance that the impeachment complaint could succeed.


Even if its amended impeachment complaint is quashed, Bernas said the opposition should gear up for the next battle when the House committee on justice sends its report to the plenary session for approval.

                    [Summary] => What she wants is pretty clear: She wants the impeachment complaint dismissed like yesterday but, in any case, before she leaves for the United Nations General Assembly this September.


She does not want to have to endure the embarrassment of explaining her predicament to other world leaders during the usual round of power cocktails in Manhattan’s chic hotels and trendy night spots. She’d rather tell them what a great job she’s been doing and why she deserves to be called one of the world’s powerful women.

Accessibility was beyond question as it was just by the Pasig River where barges carrying various oil products can easily berth. And after a while pipelines from refineries located in Batangas have found their way into its system. It being in the heart of Manila made it easy for lorries to pick up and transport these products to the oil companies’ service stations located in and around the city.
