The Shame of Padre Faura
The Shame of Padre Faura
By ATTY. MARIE YUVENCO
It isn’t true that the course of our history is charted within that building along the polluted banks of the Pasig river. Malacañang may point the direction towards which the ship of state is headed, but the captain cannot pull out of port without clearance from higher authority. The voyage gets underway only when a collegiate body of 15 men and women holding office in a Greek revival-style building along the smog-smothered stretch of Taft avenue says “Anchors aweigh.” And yesterday, that body, the Supreme Court, charted a course that will have ruinous consequences for millions of Filipinos.
