By its recent decisions and its new reform program, the Supreme Court, I am happy to note, is continuing the activist and libertarian streaks of its predecessors. Among these decisions are Vhong Navarro v. Deniece Cornejo (Feb. 8, 2023) that struck down the weaponization of preliminary investigations (PI); Ditiangkin v. Lazada (Sept. 21, 2022) that, per an Inquirer editorial, was a '(g)ame-changing ruling for workers'; Reyes v. Director (Jan. 17, 2023) that freed Gigi Reyes for serious violations of her constitutional rights; and PCGG v.

LGES said in March last year it will build its second standalone factory in Arizona, but it withdrew the plan a few months later, citing a spike in costs amid runaway global inflation.

Someone said that where two or three Filipinos are gathered together, there is a picture taking there! —————- In today's gospel (Matthew 18:15-20), Jesus tells us: 'For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.' May we become more aware of the Lord's presence in our midst, and in each one of us. Yes, He is with us always and in all ways. —————- 'Whatever you do to the least of your brothers and sisters, that you do unto me' (Matthew 25:40). If we are mindful of the Lord's presence in every person, then maybe we can become more respectful, more caring, and more loving of each other.
