Prince Harry takes on the press – under oath
Prince Harry's appearance at the High Court in London on Tuesday was a world away from the gentle questioning of a friendly interviewer on prime-time television. Instead, King Charles III's younger son was up against lawyer Andrew Green, King's Counsel, a courteous but relentless inquisitor representing British tabloid publishers Mirror Group Newspapers. Harry and his American wife Meghan have made much of speaking the truth about their struggles inside the royal family since they left for the United States in early 2020. But in the witness box of Court 15 of the Rolls Building, a modern annex to the Gothic halls of the Royal Courts of Justice, the goal was hard facts to support his claim of illegal practices. "I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," Harry swore on the Bible. Harry's testimony is the first by a senior royal to be given in court since the 1890s. His lawyer, David Sherborne, was keen to ensure the court had the correct form of address. He was first referred to as "Your Royal Highness" but Harry, dressed in a dark business suit, said he preferred "Prince Harry". Then Green stepped up to cross-examine him on his written witness statement but not before apologizing on behalf of MGN for one case of unlawful activity. "MGN unreservedly apologizes to you for that, it should never have happened and it will never happen again," he said. The apology is the only one MGN has made. It disputes Harry's claim that its newspapers engaged in illegal information-gathering, including phone hacking, for stories about the prince. Details Green went over details, questioning Harry on the substance of his allegations that about 140 articles published by MGN titles between 1996 and 2010 contained information gleaned by unlawful methods. Thirty-three articles have been selected for consideration at the trial. Had Harry read them? How did he know the information was obtained illegally? he asked. Harry wasn't sure as they dated back 20 years. Possibly, he said. Maybe, he added, as he explained how he was relentlessly targeted from a young age. "I've experienced hostility from the press since I was born," he told the court. It had made him paranoid and cost him close friends and relationships. "Your circle starts to shrink," he said. Green asked Harry to explain what he meant in his written testimony that some journalists had "blood on their hands". "Some of the editors and journalists that are responsible for causing a lot of pain, upset and in some cases, speaking personally, death," he said, referring to his mother, Princess Diana. She was killed in a 1997 car crash in Paris while being pursued by paparazzi. But Harry did not name any specific journalist, explaining that the phrase was aimed "more broadly towards the press". Questioned about an article from 2002 that claimed he smoked cannabis, Harry took aim at his own family for cooperating with the newspaper. Green suggested it was legitimately in the public interest, as Harry was the son of the future king and in the line of succession. There was a difference "between public interest and what interests the public", the prince replied. "Every element of it was distressing," he said.

Revisiting successional rights of the adoptee
Historically, common law succession was based on blood relationships. When the adoption of children was eventually permitted and recognized by statutes, foreign jurisdictions, the progenitor of our adoption laws, traditionally leaned towards consanguinity as the foundation of inheritance laws. This legal viewpoint engendered the stranger-to-the-adoption doctrine based on the theory that the personal relationship created between the adoptive parents and the child did not automatically create the same legal status between the child and the relatives of the adoptive parents. The doctrine shaped the presumption that the adoptee is excluded from a class gift of a donor other than the adopter (Gerald L. Greene & Michael J. Schmitt, Note, The Dilemma of Adoptees in the Class Gift Structure-The Kentucky Approach). While the modern trend in adoption eventually created in foreign jurisdictions exceptions to the stranger-to-the-adoption doctrine, Philippine laws and jurisprudence straggled. R.A. 11642 or the Domestic Administrative Adoption and Alternative Child Care Act could be the great leap forward in our adoption laws; or is it? Section 43 of R.A. 11642 or the Domestic Administrative Adoption and Alternative Child Care Act states that in testate and intestate succession, the adopters and the adoptee shall have reciprocal rights of succession without distinction from legitimate filiations. Remarkably, it is a clear-cut reiteration of Section 18 of the old Domestic Adoption Law (R.A. 8552), but if we follow existing jurisprudence, it would seem that the limited intestate successional right of the adoptee persists. For example, in the case of Sayson vs. Court of Appeals (G.R. 89224-25, 23 January 1992) the Supreme Court, applying the rule of exclusivity, held that the while the adopted child shall be deemed to be a legitimate child and has the same right, it does not include the right of representation because the relationship created by the adoption is between only the adopting parents and the adopted child, and does not extend to the blood relatives of either party. What markedly differentiates our current rule on adoption, however, when compared to the legal milieu upon which the cited jurisprudence was rendered is Section Section 41 of the new Adoption Law. The law expanded the legitimate filiation between the adopter and the adoptee to the adopter’s parents, legitimate siblings, and legitimate descendants. Looking closely at the raison d’ etre of the Sayson decision, the adopted child was denied the right of representation because of the archaic rule that the “relationship created by the adoption is between only the adopting parents and the adopted child and does not extend to the blood relatives of either party.” With the inclusion of Section 41 in R.A. 11642 extending the legitimate filiation created between the adopter and the adoptee to the adopter’s parents, legitimate siblings, and legitimate descendants, the right of the adopted child in intestate succession should accordingly be improved in his/her favor, and in the words of the law, “without distinction from legitimate filiation.” What seems to stand in the way, though, is the qualifying term “reciprocal” in the right of succession between the adopter and the adoptee. Ordinarily understood, reciprocal means mutual or requited. It suggests that the adoptee can inherit from the adopter, and vice versa. But should it also mean exclusive, as to exclude the right of the adoptee to inherit from the adopter’s parents, legitimate siblings, and legitimate descendants, especially when the law itself already explicitly extended the legitimate filiation to these adoptive relatives? Exclusivity connotes limitation and restriction but it is not synonymous with reciprocity, and therefore, they should not be used interchangeably. Following this reasoning, and complementing Section 41 of the new adoption law, the adopted child should now be permitted to inherit ab intestato from the adopter’s parents, legitimate siblings, and legitimate descendants.

Pig’s blood on fish
Octogenarians are not easily provoked. They are ever protective of their mental and physical health, fragile as they are. Their low immune system is vulnerable to being compromised if negative emotions are aroused. Science and medicine tell us that these emotions could trigger chronic diseases and cardiac, respiratory and other related medical issues common to the elderly. A bad temper leads to blood pressure rising and if untreated angina and myocardial infarction or stroke. Hence, when they cannot suppress anger, it means their tolerance level has reached rock bottom. Muslim elderly had experienced this outburst of anger recently. A bit of news, pedestrian it may seem in media reporting has provoked the ire of this writer. It was a bad hair day. This may have skipped notice from readers who are more focused on headline-hugging news. It was buried in the inside pages. And in the print media of yore, perhaps along with obituaries. A report last week datelined General Santos, Philippines says “A group of inspectors uncovered a deceitful practice . . .on which several market vendors were found coating fish slices with pig’s blood to make them look fresh. Plastic packs of pig blood were seized from the vendors involved. The discovery sparked controversy among Muslims and other non-pork eaters . . .” This has opened Pandora’s box. It triggered indignation and condemnation from Muslims and non-Muslims. It was most deceitful and malevolent. This should not be treated only as a “public health issue.” It is an attack upon the sensitivity and religious beliefs of some sectors of society. The Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, and others shy away from eating pork and its derivatives because of their religion. We suggest that the local government of General Santos City impose the corresponding penalty commensurate to the gravity of the crime. It should not stop from merely imposing administrative sanctions like canceling the license of vendors but also filing a criminal case for fraudulent misrepresentation or other deceit. Allow me to quote part of the article I wrote earlier about the same issue. “What is in pork that makes it an abhorrent animal? Why is it specially mentioned in the Holy Koran as prohibited for consumption by Muslims? For one, it is considered one of the dirtiest animals which thrives on filth and unsanitary environment. Pig is considered garbage and waste eliminators. . . “which eat its own feces, as well as dead carcasses of sick animals, including their own young.” The scientific reasoning is that “Swine serves as a vector for pathogenic worms to enter the human body. Infections by Trichinella spiralis and Taenia solium are not uncommon. Fatty acids and composition of pork fat have been mentioned as incompatible with human fat and biochemical systems.” In other words, the strong underlying reason for this religious proscription is its damaging effect on humans which could cause a variety of medical issues like “increased cancer risk” and many health problems. It is for this reason that Islam is not the only religion that bans pork from its adherents. Other religious sects like the Seventh Day Adventists, the United Church of God, the Orthodox Jewish Kosher, etc., prohibit pork consumption. In an article by Dr. Josh Axe he mentioned that “in the Old Testament, God warned us that the pig was an unclean animal. Why? Because pig is a scavenger and not meant for human consumption.” The greatest fear among Muslims and non-pork-eating citizens is that this may have been going on in several markets in the country without being detected. The local government units should be uncompromising in the exercise of their supervisory and monitoring power over market operations to prevent a repeat of this criminal act. It should never abdicate its inherent oversight duty. How can one person be possessed of so much greed to resort to a reprehensible way that violates the belief of a fellow human being? It reflects a social malady that government must help to address. amb_mac_lanto@yahoo.com The post Pig’s blood on fish appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Princes Harry, Andrew out in the cold at coronation
Princes Harry and Andrew will both attend the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday but will have no formal role in proceedings -- confirming they remain out in the cold. Charles's younger son Harry and his American wife Meghan quit royal duties in 2020 and have since unleashed a string of barbed attacks on the monarchy. Andrew, the king's brother, has been frozen out over his past association with the disgraced late US financier Jeffrey Epstein and a related sexual abuse allegation which was settled out of court. Harry, 38, the Duke of Sussex, and 63-year-old Andrew, the Duke of York, will attend the coronation service at London's Westminster Abbey but will not perform any duties. The pair will also be absent from the public procession behind the Gold State Coach carrying the newly crowned king from the abbey back to Buckingham Palace after the ceremony. But they may yet appear on the palace balcony. Harry is fifth in line to the throne, following his brother Prince William, and William's three children -- Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis of Wales. Andrew is eighth in line, coming after Harry and his children -- Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet of Sussex. After finally deciding to attend, Harry's every move will be heavily scrutinized. He rejoins his family for the first time since subjecting them to a torrent of stinging criticism in his memoir "Spare" and in a series of television interviews. Meghan has remained in California with the children, thereby avoiding potentially awkward interactions with her in-laws. At the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the royal dukes each paid personal homage and allegiance to the monarch, in a public vow of loyalty. They pledged to "become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God." But this time, only William, the heir to the throne, will speak "the words of fealty" and pay "the homage of royal blood", as the coronation liturgy calls it -- sparing Harry from having to kneel before his father. Buckingham Palace has not said whether Harry and Andrew will or will not appear on the palace balcony following the ceremony. At Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations last June for her 70 years on the throne, the balcony appearance was restricted to working royals only. But her coronation in 1953 featured multiple balcony appearances, so Harry and Andrew might potentially appear in a wider royal family gathering. Saturday marks Archie's fourth birthday, so Harry might make a swift exit back to his home in California. Andrew's links with Epstein -- boyfriend of the prince's friend Ghislaine Maxwell -- came back to haunt him. A US woman, Virginia Giuffre, said she was pressured to have sex with Andrew when she was 17 after being delivered by Epstein, who was convicted in 2008 of procuring a child for prostitution. Andrew denied the allegations in a November 2019 BBC interview that nonetheless went down badly. Within days, he stepped back from his patronages and in May 2020 he permanently resigned from all public roles. The case was settled out of court in February 2022, with Giuffre accepting a donation to her charity and no admission of liability from Andrew. Andrew took part in events surrounding Queen Elizabeth II's funeral but, beyond mourning his mother, Charles has shown no sign of allowing him a return to public life.

What is a stroke?
A stroke can happen when you least expect it and experience the symptoms without any warning. You could have sudden trouble speaking or walking, one-sided weakness, or your face can look uneven. Stroke is also called a brain attack or a cerebrovascular accident, which is similar to a heart attack, where vital blood flow and oxygen is cut off from the brain. This is an emergency condition, and often in hospitals you will hear an alert called overhead, “Stroke Team to the ER,” or “Brain Attack Team to the ER,” and healthcare professionals rush to the emergency room to attend to these patients, because “time is brain.” There are two main kinds of stroke — ischemic and hemorrhagic. An ischemic stroke happens when a blood vessel (artery) in the brain is blocked by either a gradual buildup of fatty deposits or a blood clot. About 85 percent of strokes are embolic. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts and blood leaks into the brain. These are less common (15 percent) yet are responsible for more than 30 percent of all stroke deaths. Leakage of blood causes swelling of the brain and an increase of pressure within the skull. The pressure and inflammation can damage brain cells and tissue. [caption id="attachment_122313" align="aligncenter" width="525"] PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF UNSPLASH/OB RH | CIGARETTE smoking is a risk factor for stroke.[/caption] There is also something called a TIA (transient ischemic attack), where blood flow to the brain is temporarily blocked. Like ischemic strokes, TIAs are often caused by blood clots, but symptoms only last less than a minute or up to an hour. Often referred to as a “mini-stroke,” a TIA is no less serious. If you have experienced a TIA, you are at higher risk of having a real stroke. Tests may determine the cause of the TIA and help you take steps to prevent another TIA or the occurrence of a stroke. Risk factors that increase your risk for a stroke are: — High blood pressure — Heart disease — High cholesterol — Diabetes — Obstructive sleep apnea — Obesity — Physical inactivity — Smoking -— Heavy or binge drinking [caption id="attachment_122315" align="aligncenter" width="659"] photograph courtesy of apollo hospitals | HEADACHE is a common phenomenon in Ischemic Stroke.[/caption] The chances of having a stroke also increase with age and if you have a family history of stroke. Men also have a higher risk of stroke than women. It is important to recognize symptoms of stroke and act quickly. The most effective stroke treatments are only available if the stroke is recognized and diagnosed within the first three hours of the first symptoms. Stroke patients may not be eligible for some stroke treatments if they arrive at the hospital after the three-hour window. This simple test will help you detect stroke symptoms and act FAST: Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of the face droop? Arms: Ask the person to raise both arms. Does one arm drift downward? Speech: Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase, such as “My name is…” Are their words slurred or hard to understand? Time: If you observe any of these signs, call your doctor and for an ambulance immediately and head to the closest emergency room. Other symptoms of stroke include the following which occur all of a sudden: — Confusion — Difficulty speaking or understanding — Trouble seeing in one or both eyes — Loss of balance or coordination — Severe headache with no known cause, sometimes also described as the “worst headache of your life” — Face and limb pain — Hiccups — Nausea — General weakness [caption id="attachment_122314" align="aligncenter" width="698"] PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF PEXELS/nataliya vaitkevich | PEOPLE with diabetes have a higher risk of getting a stroke.[/caption] Aside from taking the person who may be having a stroke to the ER, be sure to keep them from eating or drinking. If the person stops breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if possible and turn their head to the side if he or she begins vomiting, to prevent choking. If you suspect that you or someone you know could be having a stroke, always seek medical attention immediately because every minute counts. The sooner you act, the greater the chance of survival and preventing long-term disabilities from a stroke. Time is of the essence, so act FAST.

The story of the Waco siege — from the lawyer who got inside
Blood had already been spilled during the armed standoff between US agents and the Branch Davidian cult in Waco, Texas, when lawyer Dick DeGuerin got a phone call. The worried mother of cult leader David Koresh said her son needed legal help. She hired DeGuerin. He was the first outsider to pass through the security cordon and enter the Mount Carmel compound, where the Davidians were holed up. DeGuerin came face to face with a badly wounded Koresh, and was in position to try to broker an end to the stalemate. Three decades later, as the story pours forth from the 82-year-old lawyer, he remains convinced that the 51-day siege could have ended peacefully without the deaths of nearly 80 people. DeGuerin's account strikes a chord in today's deeply polarized United States, where some see Waco as a symbol of government overreach. Even now, a memorial at the scene of those killed draws hundreds of visitors a month. When DeGuerin got the call from Koresh's mother, he knew that the case was of a "magnitude" beyond anything he'd ever faced. "I had handled some big cases, but nothing like this," DeGuerin recalled from his office in Houston. "The world was watching." The Branch Davidians were founded in 1959 as a splinter from the Seventh Day Adventist church. They believed in the imminent return of Jesus, and Koresh emerged as their charismatic leader in the 1980s. In 1993, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) accused the group of stockpiling weapons, and obtained an arrest warrant for Koresh and a search warrant for the compound, where there were also allegations of child abuse. On February 28, ATF agents raided the complex, a gun battle erupted, several people died, and a tense weeks-long standoff set in. As he prepared to enter the compound in late March, DeGuerin thought he had worked out a deal with Texas Rangers law enforcement officers to manage Koresh's surrender. FBI agents took the lawyer close to the compound in the back of a tank, stopping about 100 yards away. "My handler said, 'Would you like some body armor?' I said, 'No, I'm not afraid of the Davidians... I just don't want you FBI snipers shooting at me.'" DeGuerin didn't know what to expect, but said he found Koresh, 33, to be intelligent and articulate, and could see he had gunshot wounds to his torso and wrist. Koresh was "very angry" at the siege by the FBI and ATF agents. DeGuerin saw it as his mission to get Koresh out of the compound and into court "without anybody else dying." "I told him, of course, that the law is the law and he had to obey the law even though it might conflict with his religious beliefs. He understood that," he said. As negotiations ground on, DeGuerin returned to the compound with another lawyer, Jack Zimmerman, who represented one of the other cult members. Patience was wearing thin, particularly among federal agents. "There were the negotiators that wanted it to end peacefully. And then there were the tactical people that just wanted to rush in and kill anybody and arrest him," DeGuerin said. "The tactical people won." As a final showdown loomed, DeGuerin sought to go back and make a final appeal for Koresh to surrender to authorities. But he was turned away. "This FBI agent told me, 'We don't need you anymore.'" On that day -- April 19, 1993 -- FBI agents in armored vehicles smashed into the compound buildings and pumped in tear gas. The causes of the subsequent fires are still disputed, but the compound burnt to the ground, claiming more than 70 lives, including some 20 children. Investigations cleared law enforcement of wrongdoing, but Waco became a rallying cry for Americans accusing their government of abuse of authority, and it spurred growth of militias across the country. In 1995, on the second anniversary of the raid, Timothy McVeigh, who had driven to Waco to witness the siege, carried out the Oklahoma City bombing killing 168 people. For DeGuerin, 30 years on, the lessons of Waco are clear. The federal agents had grown convinced that Koresh "was fooling them again" and would not surrender, he said. "They didn't wait. I believe if they'd waited, it would have ended peacefully. But it didn't." The post The story of the Waco siege — from the lawyer who got inside appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
US Justice Department taking abortion pill fight to Supreme Court
The US Justice Department said Thursday that it will go to the Supreme Court to appeal restrictions imposed on a widely-used abortion pill in the latest round of a fierce battle over reproductive rights. The decision by President Joe Biden's administration came just hours after an appeals court rejected moves to ban mifepristone outright, but imposed a series of measures restricting access to the pill. As the Justice Department prepared an emergency filing with the nation's highest court, the White House slammed a Florida bill that would ban abortion in the third most populous state after six weeks, before many women even know they are pregnant. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the bill passed on Thursday by the Republican-controlled legislature in Florida was "extreme and dangerous" and "flies in the face of fundamental freedoms." More than a dozen US states have passed laws severely restricting abortion since the conservative-dominated Supreme Court last year overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that had enshrined the constitutional right to abortion for half a century. Mifepristone, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000 and accounts for more than half the abortions in the United States, has become the centerpiece of the country's latest clash over women's reproductive freedom. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department will seek "emergency relief from the Supreme Court to defend the FDA's scientific judgment and protect Americans' access to safe and effective reproductive care." Speaking to reporters during Biden's visit to Dublin, Ireland, Jean-Pierre said "we believe that the law is on our side, and we will prevail." Late Wednesday, the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals said mifepristone, also known as RU 486, should remain available pending a full hearing of the case, but limited access to the first seven weeks of pregnancy, down from 10. The appeals court also said in-person visits would be necessary to obtain the pill -- a requirement lifted in recent years -- and blocked the medication from being sent by mail. The 2-1 ruling by the conservative-majority appeals court in New Orleans, Louisiana, came after a US District Court judge in Texas overturned the FDA's two-decades-old approval of the drug last Friday. 'Furious' The appeals court said anti-abortion opponents had waited too long to challenge the drug's approval by the FDA but gave them a victory of sorts by imposing restrictions on its use, a move denounced by groups seeking to maintain access to abortion. "We are furious that yet another court would choose to jeopardize the health and futures of the millions of people who rely on mifepristone for abortion care," said Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson. Jennifer Dalven, director of the ACLU Reproductive Freedom Project, said "unless the Supreme Court steps in, this decision will prevent many people from getting abortion care and force them to remain pregnant against their will." The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony described the appeals court ruling by two judges appointed by former Republican president Donald Trump as a "win." "The court recognized that the abortion pill is dangerous and rolled back Biden's reckless mail-order abortion scheme," said Susan B. Anthony state policy director Katie Daniel. Mifepristone is one component of a two-drug regimen that can be used in the United States through the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. It has a long safety record, and the FDA estimates 5.6 million Americans have used it to terminate pregnancies since it was approved. 'Unborn human' Last week's ruling by Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, also a Trump appointee, seeking to impose a nationwide ban on mifepristone came in response to a suit by a coalition of anti-abortion groups. The judge, in his decision, adopted language used by abortion opponents, saying the drug was used to "kill the unborn human." Kacsmaryk said the two-drug regimen that includes mifepristone had resulted in "thousands of adverse events suffered by women and girls," including intense bleeding and psychological trauma. But the FDA, researchers, and the drugmaker say decades of experience have proven the medication to be safe and effective when used as indicated. The Biden administration and leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies also argued that Kacsmaryk's ruling risked undermining the entire drug approval authority of the FDA. "If this decision stands, no medication -- from chemotherapy drugs to asthma medicine, to blood pressure pills, to insulin -- would be safe from attacks," said Vice President Kamala Harris. Polls repeatedly show a clear majority of Americans support continued access to safe abortion, even as conservative groups push to limit access to the procedure -- or ban it outright.
