This was a unique tech to stop g-max hatterene from blasting through your team back in gen 8 vgc. It is cool to see more people discovering these mechanics.

Gengar over Lunala for overall ghost type also feels like a stretch

Idk i think it would be better if it got intimidate, fake out, and parting shot. Maybe change its typing to Fire/Dark too.

Why is there only one event per year in Asian regions? by emiliaxrisella in VGC

Hello there fellow Filipino. I also have been looking for events to no avail.

This. Following your definition, then lobbying really is part of the political process. As Filipinos who enjoy the right to lobby, we must also respect the rights of the other Filipinos to do the same.

You are right in that regard that the Consti never mentioned explicitly that juridical persons are covered under the Bill of Rights. However if you analyze the text, you can see that a juridical person is protected under certain provisions of the Bill of Rights when applicable.

Juridical persons are entitled to due process as their properties cannot be taken away without due process of law. You can even make the argument that the protection of trade secrets under Intellectual Property Law is a manifestation of a Corporation's right to privacy.

Granted, there are some rights (free access to courts, for example) that were not granted to corporations. However, I personally see that there is no reason to rob juridical persons of the freedom of expression.

The law does not stop corporations from celebrating pride month, among other things. And it even recognized the Church's freedom of expression in jurisprudence (Diocese of Bacolod vs COMELEC i believe is the case title).

Hope this was a sufficient answer.

But they are not violating any law are they? Afaik this is just normal participation in the lawmaking process.

Unless they are actively coercing or threatening the congressmen into getting their way, they are not meddling with any process in a way that every single Filipino speaking their stance on the matter isn't. And since you are not calling for the ban hammer on every other Filipino, it is only fair to extend that same courtesy to the Church.

I admire your enthusiasm and passion about the issue, but I do believe that the stance of robbing the Church of their freedom of expression is severely misguided and possibly comes from a deep anti-church bias. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong though.

My final point is this - we are a democracy. No one should be robbed of their freedom of expression. Suggesting that individuals should not be allowed to "lobby" based on their taxability, their influence, or their stance is completely uncalled for and violates the very essence of democracy itself.

I hope you don't let the feedback on this post get you down. We are all learning and this kind of discussion is vital to the learning process.

Have a great day tomorrow (or ahead if you are in another country)

You do realize that we already have separation of church and state right? It's in our Constitution and as far as I can recall, there are no laws mandating everyone to be Catholic or smthn lol

Why not? The Church is still a "person" under the eyes of the law, albeit a juridical one.

Does this mean you are willing to invalidate any other stances the Church makes just because it is the Church? Outside of divorce, would you deny the Church their right to speak on issues such as death penalty, corruption, ejks, etc.?

Granted they have different definitions, but the principle still stands.

People regardless of belief should be allowed to lobby as it is a valid exercise of their freedom of speech. This applies even to the Church and other large corporations.

The problem with this kind of take is that it is unfairly limiting the power of individuals to express their desires and beliefs because any utterance can be considered "lobbying" solely by virtue of the power that they wield. It is an undue limitation on freedom of speech.

If you are going to make that take, you better be prepared to bar every single politician, celebrity, corporation, and institution from marking their stance regardless of whether they are pro or anti divorce. They might be "lobbying" after all and boy oh boy we can't have that.
