MANILA, Philippines — Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla asked the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) on Wednesday to take disciplinary action against the lawyer of one of the suspects in the murder of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo. In his letter to IBP chair Burt Estrada, Remulla accused Danny Villanueva, the lawyer of Osmundo Rivero, of wasting 'our time, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the courts.' This was after Villanueva filed a petition for habeas corpus on May 22, asking the Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 4 to summon Remulla and National Bureau of Investigation Director Medardo de Lemos for allegedly kidnapping Rivero's family.

As what usually happens when the economy starts picking up, policymakers and business leaders start to worry about the supply of electricity needed to power the country. But more importantly, this time around, prospective solutions also have to be sustainable. Well, say no more. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and San Miguel Corp. president and CEO Ramon Ang will finally inaugurate today a 1,000-megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Limay, Bataan. When the San Miguel head unveiled his plan for a nationwide BESS network, not a few eyebrows were raised and many rivals had their doubts about his ability to deliver a farm of massive batteries around the country that will help steady the erratic supply of electricity, especially in far-flung provinces.

This refers to the column of Inez Ponce de Leon ('Leave with pay and understanding' 3/29/23), where she claimed my comment about a proposed paid menstrual leave supposedly represents a 'culture of unfounded expectations'—after echoing the lines of online bashers lumping me together with 'menstrual leave opponents around the world.' While I am gratified that my concerns have triggered a debate on the merits of the proposed measure, online bashing by trolls notwithstanding, I am setting the record straight on some aspects of her column, and sharing the basis of my earlier opinion on the subject bill: First, no less than the Philippine Statistics Authority's 2021 List of Establishments notes that about 99.
