Former chief justice rates a leak in WikiLeaks

I love Wikileaks.

It unmasks the two-faced. It reveals the double-life of many of the officials that we respect.

Take this one from Paul Jones, who served deputy chief of mission of the US Embassy in Manila. His cable in Sept. 2006 indicated that former Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban was the protector of Filipino-Chinese businessman Mariano Nocom, whose malls were said to have been selling pirated goods.

Piracy undermines legitimate business and deprives the government of revenues.

The cable was about the demotion of Judge Antonio Eugenio who was handling intellectual property rights (IPR) cases.
