DISOBEDIENCE TO CONGRESS IS A CRIME By Judge Marlo Campanilla Section 21, Article VI of the Constitution provides: "The Senate or the House of Representatives or any of its respective committee may conduct inquiries in aid of legislation in accordance with its duly published rules of procedure.” To implement this provision, Article 150 of the Revised Penal Code punishes a person who, having been duly summoned to attend as a witness before Congress or its committees, refuses, without legal excuse to obey such summons. It is axiomatic that the power of legislative investigation includes the power to compel the attendance of witnesses. To consider summon as having been “duly” issued, the inquiry or investigation, which the person...

MANILA, Philippines — An exclusive village in Muntinlupa City will suspend the issuance of lease agreements and move-in permits for mainland Chinese tenants beginning Oct. 1. The Ayala Alabang Village Association (AAVA) board of governors issued a resolution on Aug. 31, suspending the renewal of existing permits for households accommodating Chinese tenants. The AVVA said the “unprecedented move” was in response to “incessant number of violations” by Chinese tenants said to be employed in Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) outlets. The Chinese tenants violated the board’s resolution, which provides that residences in the village should be exclusively used for residential purposes by only one family, the AVVA said. The...

MANILA, Philippines — Five more doctors who treated COVID-19 patients in different Metro Manila hospitals were themselves admitted for severe breakthrough infections, said an infectious diseases specialist who is part of the government’s experts panel.

Solante has stressed in earlier media appearances that vaccines are known to wane through time, but he said a study in Thailand suggests that Sinovac becomes weaker sooner than others and should soon be followed by booster shots. He said he was only coming out with this information to appeal for prayers for the...

EJ Obiena failed to land on the podium after finishing at fourth spot in the Wanda Diamond League finals in Zurich, Switzerland early Friday (Manila time). The Filipino pole vaulter skipped the 5.43 meter mark before successfully hurdling the 5.58 bar in one attempt. He initially missed his first two jumps at the 5.73 height but was able to power through in the final try. Obiena was also successful at 5.83m after two tries but he formally bowed out of contention after he was not able to clear the bar at 5.93m. Sweden's Armand Duplantis, who copped the gold in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, ruled the tournament while Sam Kendricks of USA and Timur Morgunov of Russia settled for silver and bronze, respectively.
