Some say that the military assault against the group of Senator Antonio Trillanes at the Peninsula Manila is an overkill. Rounds from a Caliber 50 machine gun were fired at the main entrance of the hotel and an armored personnel carrier ran through the front door. After watching the video, would you say that it’s [...]

The basis for the executive declaration of Curfew
In light of the military action against Senator Antonio Trillanes, Gen. Danilo Lim and their companions at the Peninsula Hotel in Makati City yesterday, 29 November 2007, the executive department announced a curfew in Metro Manila and its surrounding environs, to take effect between 12:00 a.m. to 5 a.m. of 30 November 2007.
Magdalo Part 2
The Magdalo group has taken over a hotel in Makati City. Again.
On 27 July 2003, more than 300 members of the Magdalo faction took over the Oakwood Premier Luxury Apartments in Makati City. The Magdalo faction, led by Navy Lt. (SG) Antonio Trillanes IV, announced their grievances against President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, including graft and [...]
Venue of Petitions for Annulment or Declaration of Nullity

Cost and expenses in seeking Annulment
There are a lot of questions posted here and at the Forum as to how much will it cost for an annulment. The standard reply is: it depends. We could not possibly speak for the standard fees charged by all lawyers and the costs would normally go up if the case drags on as a [...]
Practice Driving in Malabon
In our immediately preceding post, we talked about floods in Malabon. I have learned all I know about driving through floods from the roads of Malabon. It’s not something that Malabon has much choice, though. Malabon is below sea level, so when even moderate rains coincide with high tide, you know what happens. Anyway, while [...]
What flooded roads?
During a client meeting in Makati City this morning, I was surprised that Chino Roces (formerly Pasong Tamo), among other streets, was flooded. Some cars were obviously hesitant to wade through the flooded roads, causing traffic build up. This hesitation is generally understandable, but not to us who are veterans of Malabon roads. (Post transferred [...]
MMDA on the Road
Here’s an email that’s going around lately. It’s originally entitled “How you can challenge petty abuses of MMDA personnel…”
I just reached my limit last week-end, and decided to take action against the abusive MMDA enforcers. I basically called up the MMDA head office and inquired from the Personnel Officer, Antonio Pagulayan, to clarify their policies. [...]

Tonyo Cruz talked about the reaction of bloggers on the Batasan blast which killed Congressman Wahab Akbar, among others. The PNP has just confirmed that the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device.
