Wagayway Festival of Imus, Cavite

Imus in Cavite was dubbed as the country’s flag capital. It celebrated the first Wagayway Festival on May 24-28, 2008 as a commencement of Kalayaan 2008. It commemorated on May 24 the victory of the Battle of Alapan that paved way to the first Philippine Republic when the Philippine Flag was first unfurled on May 28, 1898.

The festival’s name “Wagayway” is a Filipino term that means wave, display or unfurl something that is folded such as a flag or banner. Wagayway Festival hopes to recognize National Flag Day and Imus as a new tourist destination with the same caliber as Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, Bacolod’s Masskara Festival and the like.

The event also highlights the bravery and patriotism of the revolutionaries against the Spanish forces. Unlike other festivals which are religious in nature, this is a festival with historical and nationalistic theme. It is being celebrated highlighting the bravery and patriotism of the revolutionaries who won the Battle of Alapan despite tremendous odds.

 

Constitution & RA 6713 vs RA 6426

Tomorrow, the Filipino people will see the senators one by one as they vote for the “Articles of Impeachment” against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato C. Corona. Among the articles, it is very evident that it is in Article 2 that might convict the respondent.

In my opinion, it is not the Constitution and RA 6713 versus RA 6426. There’s full confidentiality given to a depositor under RA 6426 BUT a public servant MUST declare ALL his/her assets, liabilities and net worth as stated in the Constitution and SALN disclosure.

Presiding Officer and Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile had an interesting point asking the opinion of Lead Counsel Justice Serafin Cuevas on what injury will the respondent incur in declaring his dollar accounts. In my opinion, NONE. The chief justice should have disclosed his dollar accounts in his SALN whether as is or converted amount. In Accounting, you cannot consider the declaration made by the chief justice complete because something is missing.

It could have been better if the chief justice declare his dollar accounts and invoke RA 6426. Even his peso accounts leave confusion among viewers the truthfulness of his claims that it’s a family account. Both peso and dollar accounts were not substantiated with evidence by the defense panel during their presentation of evidence which might twist the minds of many.

For me, G U I L T Y !!! The chief justice himself said that he ventured his money in dollars. I think on that part, the more he needs to disclose it because he violates SALN disclosure. The amount involved is very substantial.

Vote for Jessica Sanchez on AI11

Very far from the recent news in the Impeachment Court that Chief Justice Corona will now be presented as defense team last witness on Tuesday, Filipinos and Mexicans around the world are so happy for Jessica Sanchez for making it on American Idol Top 3 finalists.

If we could only vote from here (Philippines), you’re a sure winner already Jessica. But despite of that we whole heartedly believed that many people in America saw how amazing your voice was. I will remember the songs “I Will Always Love You,” “You are so Beautiful” and the one you sang while sitting in the piano. You are really phenomenal. I really felt those songs and made me love more your singing prowess as I watched the replay. AI judges made the right thing on saving you.

For me, it’s between Jessica and Joshua on the Top 2 but of course with Jessica as the American Idol for Season 11.

CJ Renato Corona appears on Tuesday

And finally the good news is confirmed, Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona will testify on Tuesday, May 22 in the Impeachment Court. Presiding Officer Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile wanted him to appear on Monday but lead defense counsel Justice Serafin Cuevas requested Tuesday and the first approved the request.

I did monitor most of the hearings of the Impeachment Court and I am excited to see what will happen on Tuesday. Why? I want the Chief Justice himself answers directly all the allegations. I am so excited also to hear from him about his Peso accounts and the Dollar accounts divulged by Ombudswoman Conchita Carpio-Morales.

If there’s a need for additional evidences, for me I think the bank managers where CJ Corona kept the alleged dollar accounts must be presented and show the documents they submitted to AMLC.

There are so many things to say on this issue but I guess we all better watch the hearing on Tuesday and let we hear it straight from Chief Justice Renato Corona on what he can says on all the allegations against him and the evidences presented. The public need to know the TRUTH and NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Mr. Chief Justice.
