A logical person... Quite rear to see someone this... walang halong emotion, ideals to facts lahat... explained well both sides... everyone has bias but I saw this man has nothing just fair and square... Ganda pa sanangg makining pero c Karen gusto nya lng masagot yong katanungan nya, then pagwala syang na intidihan ipa-uulit na namn ky Ex-CJ...haisst.

[sphereofhope]

Daming bitter dito di nila ma sapul c ex chief sa paliwanag.kaya pinupuna si kare wether shes bias or not kung may utak ka ang pakikinggan mo yung paliwanag ni chief.kaso marami lang talaga nag tatangatangahan.

"There is a factor bigger than myself, and that's my country" . . . . . . Hope people realize this phrase.

[erlindadelatorre]

Very good explanation of cj Panganiban.

[benyramirez]

This retired Chief Justice is accurately correct

[jeromediaz]

I am not angry. I am irate. I am foaming in the mouth. I am homicidal. I am suicidal. I am humiliated, debased, degraded. And I am not only that, I feel like throwing up to be living my middle years in a country of this nature. I am nauseated. I spit on the face of Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban and his cohorts in the Supreme Court, I am no longer interested in the position [of Chief Justice] if I was to be surrounded by idiots. I would rather be in another environment but not in the Supreme Court of idiots - MIRIAM DEFENSOR SANTIAGO

I concur with CJ Panganiban's legal analysis that Causes of Action 2 and 3 of Marcos Petition must be dismissed and therefore Robredo is the winner. Cause 2 is dismissed based on Rule 65 and Cause 3 is dismissed based on PET's lack of jurisdiction to annul an election. CJ argued however, that due process must be observed before the petition is dismissed that is, requiring both parties to submit their comments which makes sense and that the Supreme Court must adopt a Rule conferring jurisdiction to PET the power to annul election contest based on fraud which PET doesn't possess at this time. CJ however left a vacuum that assuming arquendo that the Supreme Court adopts a Rule conferring PET the power to hear and annul election contest, the Rule cannot be applied retroactively to
Marcos v. Robredo case for to do so would violate the Constitution. Macalintal should have filed a motion to dismiss Marcos third cause of action earlier on which he did not do for PET's lack of jurisdiction. In the same vein, the Marcos camp should have filed a petition with the COMELEC or the SC to annul the election based fraud since PET has no power to do so But the Marcos camp did not. In conclusion blame the lawyers in creating this mess.

I am not a lawyer but I understand it very clear, , ,

Dapat kasi bilangin lng un fully shaded, sa opinion ko un Ang ginhawa ng mga tutoong bumoto.

[jeffconcepcion]

3 years from another national election and seems that VP Robredo seems to do good in her job as mandated by law. Can Mr. Marcos be just mindful enough to help others by not being an elected officer? Can he just be a good sport and help the nation to really speed up the improvement of our country. Defeat is hard to accept when you cannot find good in it. God bless Philippines.

[okidok]

Very well explained. Thank you for this interview. Mangmang nalang ang magpumilit sa pakapanalo.

[jeffd.]

Magaling si former Chief Justice... napanganga ako...

50 50 ang mga sinasabi nila, at isa pa kontra partido ang may hawak ng show na to.

[edithbuayan]

There were people in Mindanao who can testify there was massive coercion of election votes .

[LourdesM]

wishful thinking. hindi kasi maring yun "yes" kaya insist lagi yun "dismissal" ... wag pahalata masyado

[abelardolang-ay]

15k recovered votes proves that there was really a fraud (ado t saan nga makaawat dita)

[odadsoid]

This is a great interview. CJ was on point explaining in the most simplest words what is happening and what are the possibilities of the case. Although if case 3 is going to be heard and advanced upon, the ending is always re-election and not a nullification of votes.

[HessocreeD]

The rule says, 100% shading. Why allow 50% shading?

[jessecuenca]

Pilipinos deserved a true Vice President w/c instead of talking and debate waisting time will both party a “SNAP ELECTION” is the solution
