Kelvin Legal » Popular Blog Posts
Since I started archiving my written work on this blog, I’ve noticed some of my posts get way more hits than others. Interestingly enough, it isn’t the political stuff which I am known for writing which gets the most attention. Rather, its law, business and career, love and personal topics which get the most hits. Funny how things work out … [Link]

(Babble On Column for The Sunstar Davao, Friday, January 23, 2009) People will remember this week as a historical one.

Kelvin Legal » Trying To Oust A Chief Justice
If the rumors I have been hearing are true, there is a scramble to oust the current Chief Justice via the unpromulgated Limkaichong case.
