                    [Summary] => A provincial school invited President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to be its commencement speaker. While Pres. Arroyo was delivering her speech, one of the graduating students got up and demanded that she step down from office. Unperturbed, President Macapagal Arroyo continued her speech as if nothing had happened. Later, the graduating student even went up the stage to receive her diploma.

                    [Summary] => After President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo survived an impeachment attempt, thousands of people took to the streets demanding that Gloria resign. The impeachment process clearly proved that there is no constitutional basis for the President to resign. Taking the issue to the streets is plain anarchy, meaning the complete absence of government. That is the ultimate disaster that can happen in our times. It will be worst than the disaster caused by hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Katrina destroyed only a city. Anarchy will affect our whole nation.

This is separate from impeachment case that will be filed against her by opposition lawmakers. We hope that these two developments will put a stop to two things.

This was because some of the followers of ousted-president Joseph Estrada tried to invade Malacañang on May 1, 2001. After Labor Day, we wrote that we hoped that elections would be peaceful and orderly. There were some isolated instances of electoral violence, but on the whole it can be said that elections were generally peaceful and methodical. Now we are praying that the canvassing and proclamation be just as peaceful and  systematic.

Through its president Archbishop Orlando Quevedo, they expressed their opposition to Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s stand on lifting the moratorium on the imposition of the death penalty. This is perfectly understandable on the church’s part that believes that life is a gift of God, ergo only God has the right to take any life away. This is not altogether true. The classic example is killing in self-defense.

                    [Summary] => The First Gentleman’s Golf Cup will be held on June 27 at the Wack Wack Golf and Country Club under the aegis of the First Gentleman’s Foundation. Organizers said yesterday the event coincides with the birthday of the First Gentleman, Jose Miguel Arroyo.


The event, launched last year at the same venue, was firmed up recently during a meeting between Arroyo and a group of businessmen and drew overwhelming support from the business community.


More than 20 big companies have pledged to send their teams, ensuring the participation of some 300 players in the event.

                    [Summary] => We admire the way the Catholic bishops have been expressing their collective and – we must say –independent stand on national issues. Through its president Archbishop Orlando Quevedo, they expressed their opposition to Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s stand on lifting the moratorium on the imposition of the death penalty. This is perfectly understandable on the church’s part that believes that life is a gift of God, ergo only God has the right to take any life away. This is not altogether true. The classic example is killing in self-defense.
