Sidebar | ‘Done and decided’? Baguio court declines to review constitutionality of Anti-Terrorism Act’s implementation
The constitutionality of the Anti-Terrorism Act can still be questioned with regard to how it is actually implemented. In contrast, however, Judge Belmes refused to rule on the matter at all, despite the clear ruling of the Supreme Court in Calleja allowing the same.

Trumpets and drums: selling the Phl at Davos
“The (WEF) is hosting a Country Strategy Dialogue for us where we are given the opportunity to promote the Philippines as leader and driver of growth and a gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. One that is open for business – ever ready to complement regional and global expansion plans for both foreign and Philippine-based enterprises anchored on the competent and well-educated Filipino workers, the managers and professionals.
Search deal with China now voided: a back story
We, the petitioners and all those who supported our struggle to defend and fight for our sovereign rights to our maritime resources in the West Philippine Sea, express profound appreciation to the Gesmundo court for responding positively to Bayan Muna’s repeated pleas for judicial action.
Promised ‘compromise’ on fishing not good enough
Does Marcos Jr. think the Davos and Japan trips require more of his time and attention than the myriad domestic problems needing urgent actions that his administration faces in the new year?

PROMOTION OF CHURCH PEOPLE’S RESPONSE
Balik-Tanaw | Sixteenth Sunday in ordinary time
Growing up in the land, hearing stories of animals, trees, spirit beings, and people from my grandmother have been a huge part of my childhood. Though they may be somewhat far from my reality at that time, they for sure spoke of a reality at a certain period that has been passed down through generations. I could still remember my grandmother’s silky, long, silver hair that smelled like coconut oil, her sagging skin that provided me such comfort, and her voice that is filled with wisdom accumulated through the years.
Balik-Tanaw | The regenerative word of God
Second Isaiah created a synthesis: uniting into one, Israelites beliefs in creation, in the Divine government of history, and Divine will to save. Yahweh is creator. Even the greatest powers are insignificant before him. We know how Israel was conquered by world powers, then transferred from its own soil to another. Within this reality, Second Isaiah’s concept of God evolved.
Balik-Tanaw | Rest
The setting of the sun signals the time to come home, a time for rest from the daily toils. But for the poor workers in highly urbanized areas rest is a luxury. The none-stop rotation of work propagated by capitalism, rest is counter-productive.

Galit at pag-ibig sa paggunita ng Batas Militar
Tunay na may batayan ang kolektibong galit na dapat na nararamdaman ng mga mamamayan. Pero pinipilit ng mga nasa kapangyarihan na huwag gunitain ang nakaraan sa makatotohanang paraan. Una, mahalagang alyado ng mga Duterte ang mga Marcos. Ikalawa, pinipilit sikilin ang kultura ng aktibismo ng kabataan. Ikatlo, binabago ang interpretasyon ng kasaysayan sa kabila ng hindi maipagkakailang datos, partikular ang pagpapalayas sa mga Marcos sa Malakanyang sa pamamagitan ng pag-aalsa ng mga mamamayan noong 1986.
Pabango ng berdugo
Kung hindi kilala ng mga artistang ito sina Karen, Sherlyn at Raymond, siguro’y napapanahon nang magsaliksik at magsuri. Marahil doon lang nila mapapagtantong tulad ng mga may-ari ng studio at produktong ineendorso nila, sila ay nagagamit din ng AFP, partikular ng ARESCOM, para maging katanggap-tanggap ang gawain ng mga berdugong magnanakaw na, mamamatay-tao pa.
Pagtuturo sa panahon ng panduduro
Magkaugnay ang tila magkahiwalay na mga pahayag na ito sa tatlong dahilan: Una, ang kasalukuyang senador ay dati ring hepe ng PNP. Ikalawa, ang kasalukuyang hepe ng PNP ay matagal nang pinag-iinitan ang ilang unibersidad dahil sa aktibismo ng mga estudyante nito. Ikatlo, pareho silang mag-isip dahil sa limitadong bokabularyo: Para sa kanila, ang aktibista at komunista ay iisa.

BULATLAT EDITORS
Arrest of relief volunteers is also an attack on free expression
The recent spate of red-tagging and brazen use of authority against media and the people’s growing dissent speak volumes of how the Duterte administration – and its emboldened security forces – are facing the COVID-19 pandemic not only with apparent incompetence, but also with its usual self-serving and despotic brand of governance.
Keeping our eyes on the ball: Human rights in the time of COVID-19
That is why the work of defending human rights must never flag as this crisis develops. While our programming is naturally affected by necessary constraints on travel and physical meetings, human rights work is never done in isolation. It is rooted in personal connections based on mutual understanding, respect, and trust. We will continue to find ways to nurture the connections and solidarity this work requires.
3 questions on campus journalism amid the COVID-19 pandemic
It comes as no surprise that the current lockdown has become a de facto crackdown for some of those who dare speak up against the government.
