Roads closed, contingency plans ready for 2016 Bar exams | ABS-CBN News





"x x x.

MANILA - Several roads and thoroughfares in Manila will be closed on all Sundays of November as 6,000 law graduates are expected to take the 2016 Bar examinations at the University of Santo Tomas (UST) this month, traffic officials said.

The westbound lane of España Boulevard from Lacson Street to P. Noval Street will be closed to traffic from 5 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. on November 6, 13, 20, and 27, the Manila Police District Traffic Enforcement Unit (MPDTEU) said.

The said area will also be closed to traffic from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on November 27.

The stretch of Dapitan Street from Lacson to P.Noval will also be closed to motorists from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Aside from the no parking policy along España and Dapitan, a liquor ban will be imposed within the 100-meter radius of UST to avoid untoward incidents, officials said.


CONTINGENCY PLAN

Bad weather will not hamper this year's Bar examinations as the Supreme Court (SC) will provide "a limited number" of shuttle buses and commuter vans to usher Bar takers and personnel to and from UST "in case of heavy rain in the morning of a Bar examination day," the high court said in a statement.

Pick-up and drop off points of the SC's shuttle buses will be in the following areas:

- Quezon City Memorial Circle
- Park and Ride, Lawton, Manila
- Supreme Court Compound, Taft Avenue 
- Coastal Mall Terminal, Parañaque City
- Greenbelt and Glorietta, Ayala Center, Makati
- Marikina Sports Complex

"The SC shuttle buses shall be stationed at these areas as early as 5:00 a.m. and will leave at exactly 5:30 a.m," the SC said.


In the event that the UST campus is flooded during a Bar examination day, "commuter vans of the SC shall be available to transport bar examinees and duty personnel from the UST gates to their respective examination buildings within UST," the high court added.

The venue of the annual Bar examinations was moved to UST after an explosionoutside the De La Salle University (DLSU) campus in Taft Avenue, Manila left scores injured during the 2010 Bar examinations. --with reports from Zhander Cayabyab, DZMM

OPINION: Supreme Court in the dock | ABS-CBN News





"x x x.

Back on September 14, 2009, in The Explainer I tackled the question of Rehabilitation, how political leaders confront being disgraced and try to rehabilitate themselves. At present the most sustained effort in this regard has been that of the Marcoses, which I’ve tracked for a long time: see Marcos Heirs Prove Incapable of Leadership, from December 28, 2005; Restoration, from September 14, 2006; The Marcos restoration, from July 6, 2009; and Showdown, from February 10, 2010. The Supreme Court is now the field of battle where the victory or defeat for this campaign will be decided. And here, the Supreme Court’s own history: particularly the example of former Chief Justice Concepcion in the case of Javella v. Executive Secretary, becomes highly relevant: not only in terms of what he wrote and what he did in that decision, but what he did afterwards. It was he who made the present Supreme Court more powerful –and the bearer of much more responsibility—than its predecessors under our past constitutions. When, as one of the commissioners tasked with writing the 1987 Constitution, he sponsored the constitutional provision making it the duty of the Supreme Court to settle not just controversies involving legally-demandable rights, but to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion on the part of any instrumentality of the government, he essentially moved to make it exceedingly difficult for the Supreme Court from washing its hands of a controversy ever again, so long as what confronts it is not a hypothetical question.

A specific question based on an official’s decision, now confronts it. Recalling his experience in 1973 (and you can find it in the actual Supreme Court decision), Concepcion pointed out that aside from the legal games of Marcos, any citizen could see what a sham the so-called “ratification” of the 1973 Constitution was –including the justices themselves who do not live isolated from the world. But faced with a choice between recognizing –and acting—on the mockery of the law going on, or hiding behind the excuse that the court had been overtaken by events, the majority chose to hide. The recollection of Justice Antonio Carpio –that he, along with many law students, saw this clearly and lost respect for the court—has been widely quoted.

The choice confronting the court now is similar though at first blush seemingly much more petty. It’s a choice between what could arguably be called preferring tunnel vision over a broad vision of what regulations and laws, taken together, are supposed to mean: including whether they can be used to camouflage the identity of Marcos as dictator and tyrant.

ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman has endorsed Court of Appeals Associate Justice Japar Dimaampao to occupy a seat in the Supreme Court





"x x x.

MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Nov. 4 -- With the Supreme Court Justice Jose Perez set to retire on December 14, 2016, ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv Hataman has endorsed Court of Appeals Associate Justice Japar Dimaampao to occupy a seat in the highest court of the land. Hataman has sent a letter to the Judicial Bar Council to nominate Dimaampao, citing the latter’s achievements and track record as a law practitioner. 

“Justice Dimaampao is publicly known as a highly respected justice especially in the Muslim community. As a Bangsamoro himself, Justice Dimaampao carries with him the aspiration to uplift the lives and pursue the rights of his fellow Muslims,” Hataman writes. 

Sworn in at the age of 40 in 2004, Dimaampao is the youngest magistrate to be appointed to the Appellate Court. 

A proud Bangsamoro, Dimaampao holds the distinction of being the first and only Muslim senior state prosecutor. 

He is a known luminary in Shari’a Law in the Philippines, and holds a position as a professional lecturer of the Department of Shari’a Law and Jurisprudence of the Philippine Judicial Academy of the Supreme Court. Apart from being an associate justice in the Court of Appeals, Dimaampao is also an educator. 

He teaches Taxation, Commercial Law, and Civil Law in at least three law schools in Metro Manila. He also conducts Bar Review classes all over the country. 

This isn’t the first time for Dimaampao to be nominated for a place in the Supreme Court bench, with endorsements dating back to 2010. 

The nomination is in line with the Organic Law for the ARMM, also known as Republic Act No. 9054, which states that “it shall be the policy of the central government or national government that, whenever feasible, at least one (1) justice in the Supreme Court and two (2) justices in the Court of Appeals shall come from qualified jurists of the autonomous region. 

The said law also gives the ARMM Regional Governor recommendatory powers, after consultations with the ARMM Regional Assembly and other concerned sectors, through which he may submit names to the JBC for consideration prior to the nomination a new Supreme Court justice. (BPI-ARMM/PIA-10)
