I clap my hands for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court even if his stand lost in this case regarding public disclosure on the controversial free trade agreement between Japan and the Philippines.

The decision simply sucks! It makes the acts of governors – not to reveal diplomatic negotiations – superior than the sovereign people’s constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

The main architect of martial law rules!
