AS a law dean, this priest from San Beda should stop making comments such as calling senators childish.
First of all, as a law dean he should refrain from making comments unless he speaks for the whole San Beda law school. As a priest, he should reserve his comments to himself unless he wants to go into politics. As a regular reactor to news publications, he should do so but not under the cloak as a priest or as a dean. Then I will welcome his comments.
Please don’t mock your school name or your students. And calling the senators childish reminds me of my teachers in grade school. Yes, we deserved then to be called childish but calling the senators at this time childish for doing their jobs is a behavior that this priest dean has not overcome yet, his being at one time a grade school teacher. If you want to be a regular critic for or against political issues, unless you want to compromise your position as dean, then stop addressing yourself as priest dean.
Meanwhile, the reaction of the senators to the Supreme Court decision is normal since the Senate is a co-equal body under our Constitution. The SC decision drew a lot of reactions from the public as well as private sector. What I have learned from my political science professors is that the SC ’s role is merely to interpret the law and to keep in mind that the rationale behind such law is to protect the Constitution and to protect the interest of all and not one person who in this case is the appellant. The SC decision unless reversed will send signals from hereon that it’s all right to report a crime and then cover it up by invoking executive privilege.
Under our present laws, if you deliberately engage in a cover-up of a crime then you are equally liable for it even though you did not commit it. I rest my case and I hope this priest dean would do the same.

First step to correct everything is to abolish the religion here in the Philippines.

Maganda naman ang libangan natin pala. Gawa ng mgaconjectures, rhetorics, ngawa, at awayan. Solutions ay wala. And thats what we get for electing or grabbbing for the wrong officials from top to bottom. For those who are not around but noisy are partly blamed in giving us this comedy of errors. Tuloy ang ligaya, though.

Is he really the law dean of San Beda? Just wondering what kind of political animal is this? While majority of the Filipino public were outraged by the decision of the pro-Arroyo dominated Supreme Court, this law dean is working double time to justify the unjust and immoral cover up.
Thank God, San Bedans are giving any premium to this law dean. This law dean deserves the wholesale condemnation of the San Bedan academic community

There are so many adjectives that can be used to describe the conduct and behavior of the senators but these legislators are too “childish” to understand the true meanings of those words.
