Malaya is a daily (except Sunday) newspaper in English that has a courageous history in the Filipinos' fight against tyranny.

Mahabaging Panginoon, ako ay lumuluhod at nagmamakaawa sa iyo na kung maa-ari, patigilin mo na si Sen. Tito Sotto sa kaka-privilege speech laban sa Reproductive Health bill.Hindi ko na ma-take.

Maawa naman kayo sa mamamayang Pilipino. Alam ko maraming nangyayari dito sa bansa na hindi kanais-nais at dapat lang siguro may kaparusahan para mabigyan kami ng leksyun. Ngunit huwag naman itong parusa sa pamamagitan ng pagkakalat ni Sotto.

Kahit ayaw ko panoorin, nasa TV siya. Siya at ang kanyang kapalpakan ang laman ng Facebook at Twitter. Nakaka-stress. Nakapagbitaw tuloy ako ng hindi kanais-nais na salita. Ako pa ngayon ang nagkapag-commit ng kasalanan.

Kapag meron pa siyang isang speech, baka makakarami ako ng kasalanan. Sa impyerno na talaga ang bagsak ko. Huwag naman po, Panginoon.

Mahirap talaga ma-take ang mga pinagsasabi ni Sotto.

Holding the UP Law Faculty in Contempt Would Be a Grave Mistake

by Evan Criddle and Evan Fox-Decent

We are writing to lend support to the University of Philippine’s College of Law, which now faces a very serious charge of contempt from the Philippine Supreme Court (PSC). If the members of the College are held in contempt, they face the loss of their bar licenses and with that the loss of their ability to teach and practice law.
Criddle is one of those whose work was plagiarized by del Castillo.

In the earlier case of Ang Ladlad, (GR No. 190582, April 8, 2010) Justice Del Castillo appeared to have committed plagiarism as well. Our study is only preliminary but the exigencies of the situation have compelled us to make this public.

In the Ang Ladlad decision allowed a gay rights group to run in the party-list elections, and was released 20 days earlier than the Vinuya decision. The ponente here is also Justice Del Castillo.
