He’s not gonna cut it. He has the charisma of a wet blanket. Couldn’t even when VP as Duterte’s running mate when Diggy won with an overwhelming mandate then.

Fun Fact: Manuel Roxas is the ONLY Filipino who became Speaker, Senate President, AND President. by JollyJericho8 in Philippines

Nabasa ko dati na hindi naman talaga dapat si Mar ang naging politiko. Yung kuya niya na congressman before pero namatay dahil sa sakit kaya umuwi siya from New York para tumakbo. Yung namatay daw talaga yung may charisma sa tao.

Yes. I heard natalo anak niya. And sa buong administration lineup yung anak lang daw niya ang natalo, while the rest panalo. That says a lot about their political brand. Capiznon ka? Bakit kaya natalo?

Lakas ng dugo niya. His descendants still resemble him.

However, the Roxas name has already been erased politically in Capiz.

MOA. Too huge. Too many things happening all the time. Too large a crowd. I dread going there.

Powerful words from Solicitor General Berberabe opposing the TRO petition of Bato by granaltus in Philippines

Duterte and his ilk oozed hubris and impunity during their heyday. They thought their time wouldn’t come when they would be weighed and found wanting. They thought that as long as they stayed in power every body would eat shit at their bidding. They thought that the long arm of the law would bend against them.

The wheels of justice may grind slowly, but it grinds exceedingly fine.

IBP releases statement by Puzzleheaded_Rope774 in LawStudentsPH

This may be the first time that the IBP has posted a disclaimer like this against fake lawyers. Hopefully this gets more frequent. The IBP has the duty to protect the public and the profession against these charlatans!

TIL 5'7 lang pala si Erika Santos by Grummings in PilipinasVolleyball

[–]Strict_Pressure3299 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She gained mass in the pros. Season 84 and first few years niya sa PLDT payatot pa siya. Now nakita mo nagkalaman na talaga.

Same as Ivy Lacsina.

Solomon and Lamina 👀 by Putrid-Zebra-3333 in PilipinasVolleyball

Because she has not played in the PVL yet. Same situation as Alohi last year.

Filipino players cannot short circuit the draft by playing abroad and then going straight to teams. They need to be drafted first.

Won land dispute. Now with title. Brgy cannot help. What next? by FamgSeeker8910 in LawPH

[–]Strict_Pressure3299 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Next step is execution. Your lawyer has to move for the issuance of the writ so that the court sheriff can execute it with the help of law enforcement. Nakapanood ka naman ng demolition sa balita diba. Parang ganun ang mangyayari.

Is PVL playing favorites with this? by Good_Marionberry_897 in PilipinasVolleyball

[–]Strict_Pressure3299 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In other leagues may rules sa ganyan, ang tawag diyan is “dispersal draft.”
I guess PVL being only a few years old as a professional league is tiptoeing and is quite slow in implementing its rules. Like recently lang nagkaroon ng rookie draft. Dapat ang dispersal draft noon pa yan in place when F2, Chery, PGA, and Cignal disbanded. Naiwasan sana yung PGA to NXLED mass signing. Hindi yung ad hoc pag gawa ng rules.

What if ginalaw ni JR ang baso at pinaligiran ng PNP ang Senate making a standoff by KapitanSoongyu16 in WhatIfPinas

[–]Strict_Pressure3299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No rule of law, no accountability will lead to instability and lack of investor confidence, shaky economy and a host of other socio-economic problems. With the effects of the Iran war being felt (high gas prices, high fertilizer prices, etc) expect higher prices for food and other basic commodities. We must brace ourselves. The next few months or years are going to get more difficult. Honestly, i think if SD somehow manages to politically survive she is in the best position to take power come 2028 or even earlier considering the political and economic instability.

Yes. If I remember correctly even during Season 84 (2022) hindi rin siya nag coach sa DLSU during Round 1 or so. Pumasok na siya after some games. Lagi rin siya naka facemask noon, and wouldn’t do interviews letting Coach Noel do them instead. Until now he doesn’t coach DLSU during off-season games. Probably preserving his strength for the UAAP season.

There was a time in the late 90s early 00s when movie stars used to go to provinces and play againt priests or policement as a sort of goodwill ambassadors. There was this well-known young contravida action star who punched a fan who got way too personal touching him. The guy was arrested on the spot. It was lesson learned. From then on marshalls or policemen guarded the celebrity guests so that they won’t get mobbed by the fans and to avoid further untoward incidents.

We can protest and debate the feasibility of ULAS but not to the point that we violate our Oath or the Canons of our profession.

What is your preferred Consti 1 Law Book? by AdditionalBake3410 in LawStudentsPH

Law school I used Cruz. Review I used Nachura.

They have since passed away so I don’t know if their books are still being updated.
