1017 Showdown at SC Today

The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments about the petitions to declare Proclamation 1017 as unconstitutional.

Philippine Commentary predicts that the SC will dismiss all the petitions. Atty. Lacierda even have the numbers: 8-6 in favor of 1017. And of course, my prediction is that all petitions will be dismissed for two reasons: (1) 1017 is within the bounds of the Constitution, and (2) they are rendered moot by the lifting of 1017.

But, like DJB, I am willing to be surprised. Who knows?

Today, all eyes and ears will be at the events as SC. Me, I’m on a hearing, too – hearing students defend their software projects, that is. Good luck to every one.
