father calls for justice
BY CARLA GOMEZ
A student of Dela Salle-College of Saint Benilde was killed in a hazing incident in Manila Saturday and his father, who is a Bacoleño, is calling for justice.
Guillo Cesar Servando was found unconscious with three other students in a condominium unit at One Archer’s Place in Taft, Manila Saturday evening, Manila Police District spokesperson Chief Inspector Erwin Margarejo said.
The students said they underwent initiation rites at an
undisclosed place on Saturday afternoon and they got back to the
condominium unit at about 9:30 p.m. the same day.
of Bacolod courts - Bing
Congress has approved on third and final reading the measures filed by Bacolod Rep. Evelio “Bing” Leonardia for the creation of more regional and municipal trial courts in the city.
This was confirmed yesterday by Leonardia in an interview over “Kapehan sa North West,” aired over Aksyon Radyo, and hosted by Boy Duran, where he also announced that public works worth P629,3 million have been completed, or are in various stages of implementation in the District within the last 12 months.
Leonardia assumed office as congressman of the Lone
District of Bacolod on June 30 last year. The congressman, who
was mayor of Bacolod for nine consecutive years before being elected to
Congress, also announced that he will render a full report of his first
12 months in Congress next month.

Jinggoy’s turn today
Today is the day when another senator, Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, will face the court and be asked for his plea to the charges against him. Ordinarily, respondents declare they are “Not Guilty”, and it is very seldom that one admits to being “Guilty”. However, in the case of his fellow senator, Ramon “Bong” Revilla, who had already been arraigned earlier, the accused refused to enter a plea, and the judge had to do it for him.
***
Reports say that Senator Estrada will probably take a cue from his
friend and fellow accused and also refuse to enter a plea. If that
happens, the judge may again take the initiative and enter a “Not
guilty” plea for him. That means it is assumed that he is not guilty,
and it is up to the prosecutors to prove that he is. I understand
another one to be arraigned today is the star of the show, Janet Lim
Napoles, and one can only guess what antics she will adopt this time.
Will she do what she did before the Senate, answering almost every
question with an inhibition? The judge will surely not stand for that..

RTC Branch 30 presiding judge
