The President has issued Proclamation 1017 to combine a declaration of state of emergency and invocation of commande-in-chief authority to call the troops to suppress rebellion. By this proclamation, she claims to have the power to prohibit peaceful assembles, revoke rally permits issued ministerially by local mayors, order warrantless arrests, suspend the priviledge of the writ of habeas corpus, take over the mass media and public utilities, superimpose military officers on civilian authorities, and so on.
Ayan n nga... ang unang na sampolan ay si Professor Randy David... at sumunod iba pang mga Congresista...then, and sumunod ay ang programang Bayan at Diyos... na ang host ay si Kata Inocencio, na di umere sa channel 7.
This would be the opportunity for congress to test whether or not the writ of Habeas Corpus is valid and still applicable, under Proclamation 1017 declaring the nation in a state of emergency, to release those solons by virtue of the writ. It would be a test to know whether 1017 is just a guise of Matial Law.
Ano ba yan... tanggalin si Glori ang mga naka abang mga walang din pagpipilian...
Basta una DEFEND PRESS FREEDOM!
