Press Statement
2 September 2014
We are totally and absolutely surprised, baffled and bewildered that impeachment complaints were junked hastily. The ruling party that dominantly composes the House Committee of Justice said they are all honorable and representatives of the people.
Back to reality.
What the ruling party did was basically all form and practically no substance. Impeachment hearings were all for show.
Tyranny of numbers in impeachment proves democratic institutions and processes are mere formalities. It reeks of patronage politics.
This partisan junking of substantial impeachment complaints does not get BS Aquino off the hook. He remains accountable. He will have his time.

"By calling yourselves the ‘people’s lawyer,’ you have made a remarkable choice. You decided not to remain in the sidelines. Where human rights are assaulted, you have chosen to sacrifice the comfort of the fence for the dangers of the battlefield. But only those who choose to fight on the battlefield live beyond irrelevance.”
"After long years of experience as a people’s lawyer, I can honestly say it has been a treasured journey of self-fulfillment and rewarding achievement. I know it will be the same for all others who choose to tread this path."
