Kartilya: Supreme Court grants Kabataan Partylist petition to extend voters' registration

CARP vs. GARB

Posted by Ronnie Clarion On February - 2009

Land distribution to landless Filipino farmers is a preset of provision under Art. XIII Sec.4 of the 1987 Constitution. Prior to this provision, former Pres. Corazon Aquino mounted the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) which was later enacted through the passage of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) or RA 6657 on June 10, 1988. However, the program had been excoriated for its failure to completely distribute lands to the beneficiaries within its target completion timeframe of 10 years. It was later extended for another 10 years yet the struggle for genuine agrarian reform continues.

The Revolution of the Katipunan may well have been thwarted by American imperialism at the turn of the 20th century, but it is noteworthy to declare that our people, who at that time were only beginning to form the concept of nationhood, were more than able to organize a revolutionary force that would liberate the entire islands from their Spanish colonizers.

Ang pagtayo ko rito ngayon ay patunay na kayo ang aking tunay na lakas. Hindi ko inakala na darating tayo sa puntong ito, na ako’y manunumpa sa harap ninyo bilang inyong Pangulo. Hindi ko pinangarap maging tagapagtaguyod ng pag-asa at tagapagmana ng mga suliranin ng ating bayan.

Subjugating the Philippine System of Education

Posted by Christian Lloyd Espinoza On Oct - 2009

The transformation and reorientation of the current rotten system of education in the country is not possible without the development of a critical consciousness that reflects and acts upon the existing social (dis)order. Any meaningful change in our basic curriculum must be liberative of the docility that has long infringed our mentality, dissolving what little nationalist ideal there is left in the heart of every Filipino youth.

Supreme Court grants Kabataan Partylist petition to extend voters' registration

Posted by Kartilya On 2:09 PM

Kabataan Partylist, the first and only youth sectoral representation to the Congress, gained the nod of the Supreme Court, granting its petition to extend the voters' registration to January 9, 2010. Citing section 8 of the Voter Registration Act of 1996, and arguing that the Congress and not the COMELEC has the power to amend any law, Kabataan representative Raymond Palatino together with youth and student leaders filed an Urgent Petition for Certiorari and Mandamus (With Application for Pleminary Mandatory Injunction) last October 30.

Said petition was granted today and is immediately executory according to the SC. The COMELEC earlier shortened the voter registration to October 31 due to poll automation which is in violation of the required registration period of 120 days before the election.
