Black propaganda must not play any role in deciding who’s Chief Justice

BY THE WAY By Max V. Soliven. The Philippine Star 11/29/2005.

Two vital appointments to two Constitutional offices will soon be made by President GMA.

The first appointment will probably be announced today or tomorrow, since Ombudsman Simeon “Sonny” Marcelo’s irrevocable resignation takes effect tomorrow, November 30. Although people in the know can already identify who’ll be named the nation’s top graft-buster in government – a fine, idealistic, competent individual – it’s best to wait for the Presidential announcement.

The next important appointee will be that of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The incumbent Chief Justice, the Hon. Hilario Davide Jr., is retiring on December 19, his 70th birthday. Now that he is on the verge of retirement, his sterling duty done, I can reveal that I was one of those (perhaps others did) who strongly recommended Davide to then President Joseph Estrada.

“But I don’t know Davide from Adam!” Erap had exclaimed. To his credit, without any political padrino backing Davide, President Estrada made Davide the Chief Justice, although he may have regretted it during the Senate impeachment “trial.”

What concerns this writer is that dirty tactics in the form of insidious black propaganda is now being used to sway GMA in her choice of Chief Justice.

The utilization of slur through media is not new. Even before Presidential Legal Counsel Merceditas N. Gutierrez topped the list of three Judicial and Bar Council nominees for Ombudsman she had been subjected to derogatory comments in media. Fortunately, these attacks did not deter the Judicial and Bar Council from giving former Acting Justice Secretary Gutierrez a unanimous eight out of eight votes.

Now, it appears that the attack has shifted to Justice Artemio V. Panganiban, one of the three senior Supreme Court Justices expected to be nominated by the JBC for Chief Justice. (The other two are Justices Reynato Puno and Leonardo Quisumbing).

Already one opinion writer recently raked up the same disproven allegations, found false when he was nominated to the Supreme Court 10 years ago by the JBC. Since then, Art Panganiban’s distinguished record in the Supreme Court speaks for itself, dispelling those earlier attempts at vilification and snide insinuations.

Concurrently Chairperson of the High Court’s Third Division, the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET), and seven SC committees involved mainly in judicial reforms, Panganiban has also turned out to be the most prolific and studious author of law books and other volumes, from Love God, Serve Man (1994) and Leveling the Playing Field (2004) to his latest, just off the press, Judicial Renaissance (November 2005).

Without doubt, Justices Puno, and Quisumbing (whom I’ve known since he was Editor-in-Chief of U.P.’s The Philippine Collegian – how time flies!) are equally gifted. But Justice Panganiban might be the perceived frontrunner since he’s the one coming under underhanded attack.

I am not saying that members of the Supreme Court, particularly candidates for Chief Justice, ought to be immune from criticism. But no smear tactics, please.

If any members of the Tribunal are criticized, particularly when their qualifications and track records are being weighed for ascension to Chief Justice, they must be judged and assailed on the basis of their judicial philosophies and their decisions, as well as their conduct and deportment as members of the highest court of the land.

Another choice La Presidenta will soon have to disclose is who’s going to be DepEd Secretary, filling the vacancy abruptly created by the “defection” of former Batanes Congressman Butch Abad – who unfortunately had hardly warmed his seat before he joined the noisy "Hyatt 10" in demanding that GMA resign and turn the presidency over to her Vice-President Noli de Castro. Whatta bunch those people were! Most of them have turned silent except for Hinky Dinky Parleyvoo.

In any event, I hear that a Senator, who I must admit is very well qualified (not that other “politician” from down South!), is strongly in the running. Anyway, if GMA doesn’t give the post to him, perhaps she could consider getting somebody with solid academic credentials and experience from the career service.

One outstanding prospective candidate is the DepEd’s acting OIC herself, Dr. Fe Hidalgo. The daughter of a school teacher from whom she imbibed habits of discipline and hard work, Hidalgo apparently has the respect of the DepEd rank and file, owing to her sincerity and pleasant personality, while not, by any means, being a push-over. She was one of the judges in the preliminary screening for Metrobank’s Outstanding Teachers awards (diligently combing through reams of documents and meticulously rating each item), all this despite her heavy workload at DepEd.

I recall that our old friend, the admirable but exacting and very-difficult-to-please former DECS Secretary Isidro D. Cariño thought highly of Fe Hidalgo – and, mind you, Sid was very acerbic in comment regarding those he disliked and who didn’t come up to scratch. I guess, Hidalgo’s leadership was best illustrated by the pivotal role she played in framing the new DepEd Master Plan for Philippine Education. One of her major achievements was to establish the National Executive Academy for Principals, the counterpart of the CESO for government technocrats.

Education, as this old hack has often remarked, is the launching pad for our country’s progress. We constantly harp on the need to win the War against Poverty. We cannot successfully prosecute such a war unless we first win the War against Ignorance. This is why who gets to be Secretary of Education is of grave importance and concern. The DepEd Secretaryship is not a lollipop to be handed out willy-nilly for political advantage. Who’s invested with it will help determine the course our nation will take.

a. Bush in Germany but speaks about Middle East

 

SPIEGEL ONLINE, 11.06.2008

 

The escalation of violence in the Middle East is taking the focus away from other world trouble spots as President Bush continues his visit to Germany, in advance of the G-8 summit in Russia. As he met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, reporters asked Mr. Bush about Israel's military assaults in southern Lebanon, which have killed nearly three dozen civilians. He said "Israel has the right to defend herself," but called on Jerusalem not to do anything that would weaken the Lebanese government.

Mr. Bush laid the blame for the increased violence along the border on Hezbollah, whose guerrillas mounted a cross-border raid earlier in the week and captured two Israeli soldiers. He also said that Syria "needs to be held to account" for supporting and harboring Hezbollah. Merkel called for restraint from both sides.

On Iran, Mr. Bush told reporters that the government there is “trying to wait us out,” in refusing to respond to a package of incentives aimed at ending its uranium enrichment. “I think they are going to be sorely mistaken,” he said. “I think they are going to be disappointed, that this coalition is a lot stronger than they think.”

Downplaying tensions between U.S. and Russia – where Mr. Bush is headed on Friday – the president laughed off a comment from Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who said Vice President Cheney's recent criticisms of Moscow were like an “unsuccessful hunting shot.” Mr. Bush called the reference to Cheney's hunting accident "pretty clever.” Both Merkel and Mr. Bush said they would like to see democratic reforms in Russia and would press that point in private. But they agreed they are reluctant to criticize Putin harshly in public.

“Nobody really likes to be lectured a lot,” Mr. Bush said. Mr. Bush and Chancellor Merkel were celebrating a new era of relatively tension-free U.S.-German relations. The controversy between the two countries over American detentions at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba didn't even come up in their joint availability either in remarks by the leaders or questions from reporters. And the subject of the war in Iraq, which so divided Mr. Bush and Merkel’s predecessor, former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, was barely mentioned.

While Mr. Bush was in Germany, however, the White House did announce that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki would be visiting Washington later this month to meet with the president. The two first met on June 13, when Mr. Bush made a surprise trip to Baghdad.

“I bring a message from the American people: we're honored to call the German people friends and allies,” Mr. Bush told a crowd of several hundred gathered for his arrival in this northern port city's old market square.

Merkel welcomed Mr. Bush to her home district in the formerly communist Eastern Bloc region with a gift of a small barrel of local herring. The president laughed, both surprised and pleased.

A military band played marches in the cobblestoned city center — towered by St. Nicholas Church and a town hall dating to medieval times — where most of the president's events for the day took place.

In the evening, Mr. Bush's visit to Merkel's old neighborhood was wrapping up with a wild boar barbecue in the small town of Trinwillershagen.

Though anti-Bush protesters gathered, thousands of police were keeping most far from the areas he was to tour.

But before the president's arrival from an overnight in a resort town on the Baltic Sea, a representative from the environmental group Greenpeace struggled to display a yellow “No War, No Nukes, No Bush” banner from the church's clock tower.

Reflecting the widespread dislike of the Iraq war in Germany, eight rainbow peace banners also hung from the trade union building on the square, directly across from Mr. Bush's podium.

Security was tight. Fighter jets patrolled the skies and police checked the city's 2,200 manhole covers, welded shut to ensure nothing disrupted Mr. Bush's visit. Residents were prohibited from opening windows and shops were ordered closed.

 

b. Chinese Efforts On N. Korea Failing

 

SPIEGEL ONLINE, 20.06.2008

 

China's last-ditch diplomatic efforts to bring North Korea back to nuclear negotiations appeared on the verge of fizzling out Thursday, as Japan and the United States geared up to push for a tough U.N. resolution sanctioning Pyongyang.

Meanwhile, North Korea abruptly pulled out from high-level talks with South Korea, denouncing Seoul for pressing it on its recent missile launches and warning of “unpredictable catastrophic consequences.” The South said it would freeze aid to the impoverished North as long as it stays away from international nuclear talks.

The United States and other backers of a Japanese-sponsored U.N. resolution threatening sanctions against North Korea over its missile tests last week had agreed to postpone a vote to give Beijing time to lobby the North. But North Korea appeared to reject diplomatic overtures by a visiting Chinese delegation.

China's U.N. ambassador, Wang Guangya, said the delegation, which will return Saturday, delivered a message from China's leaders expressing concern over the tests “and also what we considered the North Koreans should do to make diplomacy succeed.”

But Wang said they had not received any feedback.

“No one is happy with the fact that the DPRK is refusing to cooperate with anyone else,” U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill told reporters in Beijing. “China has really tried. China has really tried to help that country, and so I suspect... there is a little frustration there.”

“So far they don't seem to be interested in listening, much less doing anything to address the situation,” Hill said of the North Koreans at a separate briefing.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu appealed for help from other countries, saying Beijing alone can't draw North Korea back to nuclear talks or stop it from conducting future missile tests.

“The effort of China alone is not enough,” Jiang said. “We hope all parties concerned can take positive actions and push forward the issues in order to push the situation in a positive direction.”

Jiang said China was “making active consultations with other parties in the U.N. Security Council to seek a proper solution” to the issue.

On Wednesday, China and Russia introduced a rival U.N. resolution to that proposed by Japan that "strongly deplores" the missile launches and calls on Pyongyang to re-establish a moratorium on testing but drops mandatory sanctions, military action and the determination that the launches threatened international peace and security.

Hill said "a lot of last-minute pushing and shoving, a lot of last-minute ideas" were natural before a vote. But he expressed confidence that "there will be a very strong, very clear message to North Korea."

Pyongyang ignited the furor July 5 by test-firing seven missiles, including a long-range Taepodong-2 potentially capable of hitting the United States. The weapons, which landed in the ocean between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, triggered fresh worries over regional security.

c. Israel Turns Up The Heat

 

SPIEGEL ONLINE, 14.06.2008

 

Israel’s air force kept the pressure on Lebanon Thursday, bombing infrastructure such as airport runways, while Hezbollah guerrillas continued firing rockets further into Israel than ever before, hitting once-safe cities such as Safed and Haifa. The Israeli ambassador to the United States, Daniel Ayalon, said the attack on Haifa was “a major, major escalation” in the conflict. Asked if Israel was at war, Ayalon said yes. Maj. Gen. Udi Adam, the chief of Israel’s northern command, said Israeli jets had hit hundreds of targets in Lebanon since Wednesday night, and the army has not ruled out ground operations in Lebanon. Israel has information that Lebanese guerrillas who captured two Israeli soldiers are trying to transfer them to Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Thursday. Middle East analysts say the timing of Hezbollah’s raid across the border into Israel, in which two soldiers were captured and four were killed, is no coincidence. Hezbollah saw a similar move by Hamas two weeks ago, demanding the release of prisoners in return for an Israeli soldier, and Iran may want to turn attention away from its nuclear program.

“The Party of God gets its funding from Iran, the Party of God gets its instruction and guidance from Iran,” says CBS News Middle East consultant Fouad Ajami.

The timing isn’t so good for the Lebanese people, who were looking forward to the height of tourist season.

“There is a contradiction, if you will, between the desires of the Lebanese people for normalcy and the desires of the Iranians,” Ajami said.

Brig. Gen. Dan Halutz noted that all senior Hezbollah leaders live in and have offices in the southern Beirut neighborhood of Dahiya. He said Beirut could be included among the targets if Hezbollah rockets continue to hit northern Israel.

“Nothing is safe (in Lebanon), as simple as that,” he said.

Hezbollah guerrillas continued firing rockets into Israel cities into the evening, including the major port city of Haifa. There were no injuries in Haifa, but that was the farthest south that rockets fired from Lebanon had hit, police said.

Israeli warplanes blasted craters into all three runways at the airport, located by the seaside in the Lebanese capital’s Hezbollah-controlled southern suburbs, forcing incoming flights to divert to Cyprus. The main terminal of the $500 million airport remained intact.

By bombing the Beirut airport and imposing a naval blockade, Israel is trying to stop the flow of supplies to Hezbollah, reports CBS News correspondent Robert Berger (audio). Lebanese officials say about four dozen people have been killed in air strikes across the country. One Israeli woman was killed Thursday in a rocket attack.

“I don’t think Israel really overplayed its hand,” said Ajami. “I think it was a crisis that (Israeli) Prime Minister Olmert had to respond to and he’s doing his best to control the terms of it.”

President Bush, at a news conference in Germany Thursday, said that Israel has the right to defend itself. He criticized Hezbollah for thwarting efforts for peace in the Middle East, and said Syria “needs to be held to account” for supporting and harboring Hezbollah.

“If you really want the situation to settle down, the soldiers need to be returned,” the president said. “It’s really sad where people are willing to take innocent life in order to stop that progress. As a matter of fact, it’s pathetic.”

EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY AS A SCIENCE

www.scientificamerican.com

3.03.2011

 

Evolution is one of the most important unifying concepts in biology inasmuch as it explains the origins of biological complexity at all levels and in all groups. Those who oppose evolution for religious reasons suggest that evolution is somehow less scientific than other more factual and demonstrable sciences, but this is based on a number of misconceptions about evolution and an equally misinformed view of science itself. To be a science, an endeavour must rigorously test falsifiable hypotheses by observation and experimentation. Since all of modern evolutionary biology does this, evolution is a science. Critics also claim that evolution is "only a theory" and therefore of less significance than other, better established, scientific principles. Nothing could be further from the truth. That organisms change and have changed is a fact; evolutionary theory is an attempt to explain this change. The basic theories of evolution develop in the same way that theories develop in other areas of science, but there is no theory in science that has better support. Indeed, there is no scientific theory that opposes basic evolutionary theory. When controversies arise in evolutionary biology, they invariably involve relatively minor arguments among specialists who all believe in the underlying truth of the basic theory.

As a science, evolutionary biology is unique in some ways, and this leads to some misunderstandings about its validity as a science.

Difference between facts and theories: Facts are undeniable realities and theories are plausible principles offered to explain these facts. Evolution (change in living organisms over time) is a fact, but an important goal of evolutionary science is to learn more about it, to extend our understanding of the changes that have taken place. Testing of theories by experiment and modelling is also an important part of evolutionary biology. We will consider both aspects in this course.

Methods of Study: Evolution, especially macroevolution (changes over time that result in recognisably new groups of organisms) can usually not be studied directly inasmuch as it normally requires a long span of time. This is not a problem unique to evolution (cosmology cannot be studied directly either). However, evolution (and cosmology) can be studied scientifically (testing falsifiable hypotheses by observation and experiment). This normally involves developing theoretical models and collecting data to see how accurate the models are. A model is a hypothetical, usually simplified representation of the real world. It may be a mathematical equation (e.g., Hubble's Law) or a simple statement of a relationship between variables (e.g., Cope's Law). Developing good models requires skill in identifying the important components of a process and predicting how they will interact. Testing models also requires skill to insure that the data collected in the real world is sufficient to test the model. We will consider numerous examples of evolutionary models and experiments designed to test them. You should practice evaluating both the models and the experiments used to test models.

Some have argued that the use of "natural" (usually uncontrolled) experiments in evolutionary biology makes the data obtained less scientific. The degree to which controlled experiments can be done in evolution varies with the field, but you will begin to appreciate that experimental rigor can be applied to evolutionary hypothesis testing. For example, the hypothesis that humans and dinosaurs never coexisted can be tested by looking for fossils in the same strata (they have never been found, by the way), the hypothesis that mammals and birds are divergent reptiles can be tested using molecular sequence data (which shows that this is basically true).

People have also argued that because evolutionary theory cannot predict the future, it is somehow less scientific than other theories. The lack of predictive power is not unique to evolution; however, it is often cited as a reason to dismiss evolution as a science and to denigrate evolutionary concepts as groundless. In truth, the aims of science (especially biology) are not exclusively predictive. One of the important aims of evolutionary biology is to explain the changes that have taken place in the past. To be science, this must be done using a specific methodology.

The basic theories of evolution have been tested on numerous fronts (natural history, taxonomy, genetics, geology, paleobiology, etc.) using numerous approaches, and they have been found to be as rigorous as any in science. Where there is controversy (and there is as much in evolution as in any area of biology), it arises from the development of new theories and the interpretation of specific experimental results. However, new theories and experiments do not challenge our basic understanding of the fact of evolution or the mechanisms that drive it.

WORLD HERITAGE CONVENTION

1972

 

Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the wilds of East Africa’s Serengeti, the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make up our world’s heritage.

What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972.

UNESCO's World Heritage mission is to:

· encourage countries to sign the World Heritage Convention and to ensure the protection of their natural and cultural heritage;

· encourage States Parties to the Convention to nominate sites within their national territory for inclusion on the World Heritage List;

· encourage States Parties to establish management plans and set up reporting systems on the state of conservation of their World Heritage sites;

· help States Parties safeguard World Heritage properties by providing technical assistance and professional training;

· provide emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in immediate danger;

· support States Parties' public awareness-building activities for World Heritage conservation;

· encourage participation of the local population in the preservation of their cultural and natural heritage;

· encourage international cooperation in the conservation of our world's cultural and natural heritage.

Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization meeting in Paris from 17 October to 21 November 1972, at its seventeenth session,

Noting that the cultural heritage and the natural heritage are increasingly threatened with destruction not only by the traditional causes of decay, but also by changing social and economic conditions which aggravate the situation with even more formidable phenomena of damage or destruction,

Considering that deterioration or disappearance of any item of the cultural or natural heritage constitutes a harmful impoverishment of the heritage of all the nations of the world,

Considering that protection of this heritage at the national level often remains incomplete because of the scale of the resources which it requires and of the insufficient economic, scientific, and technological resources of the country where the property to be protected is situated,

Recalling that the Constitution of the Organization provides that it will maintain, increase, and diffuse knowledge, by assuring the conservation and protection of the world's heritage, and recommending to the nations concerned the necessary international conventions,

Considering that the existing international conventions, recommendations and resolutions concerning cultural and natural property demonstrate the importance, for all the peoples of the world, of safeguarding this unique and irreplaceable property, to whatever people it may belong,

Considering that parts of the cultural or natural heritage are of outstanding interest and therefore need to be preserved as part of the world heritage of mankind as a whole,

Considering that, in view of the magnitude and gravity of the new dangers threatening them, it is incumbent on the international community as a whole to participate in the protection of the cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value, by the granting of collective assistance which, although not taking the place of action by the State concerned, will serve as an efficient complement thereto,

Considering that it is essential for this purpose to adopt new provisions in the form of a convention establishing an effective system of collective protection of the cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value, organized on a permanent basis and in accordance with modern scientific methods,

Having decided, at its sixteenth session, that this question should be made the subject of an international convention,

Adopts this sixteenth day of November 1972 this Convention.
