THE LEGAL FRONT

 Trust, the tie that binds
BY ATTY. ARTURO D. BRION, LL.B., LL.M.

Trust is the “firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or of something.” In this sense, it is the basic foundation of our representative democracy which operates on the strength of trust: People entrust their care and welfare to periodically chosen representatives who promulgate and implement the laws that our society needs. These representatives are our senators and congressmen – the members of the legislative branch who pass our laws, and the president and vice president of the executive branch, who implement these laws.

FATHER OF JUNE 12, PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE DAY

Remembering the Father of June 12 Philippine Independence Day

Posted on September 6, 2012

By Chris Antonette P. Pugay

      Former President Diosdado D. Macapagal issued Proclamation No. 28 endorsing to the Congress the urgency of enacting a measure to fix June 12 as Philippine Independence Day. Two years later, Republic Act No. 4166 proclaiming June 12 as Independence Day and July 4 as Philippine Republic Day was signed and approved by President Macapagal. This surprised many who were accustomed to July 4 as the celebration of the Philippine Independence, however, President Macapagal’s proclamation drew overwhelming support from the public, civic organizations, professional associations, and even political parties. While the former president received praises for this act, the Filipinos should also recognize the person who actually fathered the idea of June 12 as Philippine Independence Day – Gabriel F. Fabella.
