Philippine Links: Good Reads 4-06-08
There’s a whole lot going on in The Philippines. Count the number of Islands and multiply by a million and you get the extent of the issues we face as a nation. Here are some links that I think we should all be going to and reading. Especially with regards to Cris Anthony Mendez who is still searching for justice.
Jester reminds us all that Cris could have been 21 tomorrow, he also has some pictures of hazing that is surfacing in the net. Key evidence, damning evidence, and I hope these individuals are punished. Also some statements made by UP organizations.
Manuel (I think I should start calling him Manolo, are we close?) has an in depth blog post on the Senate Decision to refuse the Supreme Court compromise. He thinks that, “the Senators decided they are operating from a position of strength, legally and politically speaking.
The Bystander has an excellent Q and A on Executive Order 464
Ellen has posted the handwritten statement of Detained Senator Antonio Trillanes IV
“I am supposed to testify as a defense witness today in connection with my coup d’etat case at the Makati RTC. However, after much reflection, I decided to forgo my testimony and write this letter instead.
And what’s this? EO 464, MC 108 officially scrapped — Palace
Well, that’s a good night’s worth of reading.

there’s an interesting video i’m once again sharing in relation to the mendez issue: this post
