Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » On Civil Disobedience
My column for today was inspired by Mahar Mangahas’ column, The important right of civil disobedience, which had these interesting findings, based on the 2004 Survey on Citizenship of the International Social Survey Program, which makes possible a comparison of Filipino attitudes and behavior to that of other peoples, particularly in our part of the world. As Mangahas digests it, … [Link]

Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » Current Senate’s design flaw
My column for today is Senate the victim of a design flaw. In it I refer to two articles, former Chief Justice Panganiban’s column on the Senate’s rules, and my 2007 election post mortem, An abnormal return to normality. I couldn’t find it at the time, but the September 1, 1945 diary entry of Antonio de las Alas explains why … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » Eyewitnesses
National holidays, or should I say, ex-national holidays, like April 9, always results in my starting the day in a fury that has me seeing red until exhaustion sets in at night, by which time I’m simply reduced to being depressed. There is something particularly offensive about present-day generations having the gall to detach a commemoration from the date on … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » A manufactured privilege
Blogger Not Yet Sikat very kindly linked to The Philippine Diary Project. Just last night, I posted the December 23, 1938 entry from the diary of Francis Burton Harrison, which contained a passage that struck me: At dinner that night, the President developed a theory in favor of representative democracy instead of “mob democratic rule.” “The people care more for … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » Computer says No.
This has long been a-gestatin’ but finally having been born, it seems cursed with a birth defect. The Philippine Diary Project is something I’ve been wanting to get off the ground for some time. What’s driving me nuts, though, is the hit-and-miss part of setting historical dates. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it works -and for several entries in a row. … [Link]

Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » On Lozada: The perils of being a snitch
The way of the warrior says I have no desires; I make seizing the opportunity my desire. The way of the warrior says I have no principles; I make adaptability my principle. This is how I follow the way of the warrior: seize the opportunity and the power. -Tokugawa Ieyasu, first Shogun From time to time, partly to document my … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » The destruction of the presidency
Wrote Montesquieu in The Spirit of the Laws, …it is likewise a shocking abuse to give the appellation of high treason to an action that does not deserve it. By an imperial law it was decreed that those who call in question the prince’s judgment … should be prosecuted as guilty of sacrilege. Surely it was the cabinet council and … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » Primer on the Neri Case (updated)
The President’s cheerleaders did their pom-pom dance, PCCI supports Supreme Court decision on executive privilege, as expected.

Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » Supremes’ Folly
Let’s begin with a quote from the Vice-President, not usually considered an authority on anything, but who knows his public pulse. In the news article Inquiries barred by SC ruling?, which focuses on the Palace’s emerging effort to limit public criticism by bringing up the possibility of the Supreme Court citing people by contempt (a dangerous road, considering even lawyers … [Link]
Manuel L. Quezon III: The Daily Dose » A perfect trap
Whoever expected them to cash in so soon? See Palace: Many items in ZTE deal confidential. But then, cash in, they must, since Puno ‘disappointed’ with SC majority decision. I myself am surprised the Chief Justice has gone beyond his dissenting opinion and made the rounds of the media outlets. But then again, with nine of his colleagues retiring next … [Link]

Even as Cardinal says Lozada’s forgiven , my column for today is The interdiction of a witness, which took its cue from yesterday’s Inquirer editorial, A nation of lost sheep.
