Senator Kiko Pangilinan Interpellates

Senator Fracis "Kiko" Pangilinan interpellates the Palace team at the Joint Session of Congress this past week on the factual bases for the claim of Rebellion as a justification for Martial Law  in Maguindanao Province imposed under PP 1959 (lifted just eight days later last night). Using a highly effective Yes or No technique of asking questions, Sen. Pangilinan elicits several key admissions of fact, judgment and action from Executive Sec. Ed Ermita, Justice Sec. Agnes Devanadera and the officials of the Armed Forces and Philippine National Police that ought to be useful in the Supreme Court cases.
