Somebody gave me a playboy bunny sticker sa koche.. di ko alam kung ikakabit ko o hinde.. para warning daw,.. ano "playboy on board"?  kabit ko kaya para lalong maines.  

“Bakit ngayon ka lang ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ dumating sa buhay ko.. ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ pilit binubuksan..”  A B C.. okay?  

A. Eto yung kanta pag nasa party ka.. kaen ka ng kaen  tapos.. busog ka  na saka pa lang dumating yung lechon… LOL (ay lechon de leche talaga oh!) “bakit ngayon kung kelan ang aking tiyan.. meron ng laman”.

B. Eto yung kantang walang kamatayan request pag nasa inuman ka.. and lahat kayo kumakanta bigay na bigay.. parang anthem or bayang magiliw.. may imaginary mike pa and naka bromance akbay pa kayo.  LOL

C. Eto yung kantang.. nung dumating ka pagpasok mo biglang nagkatitigan kayo ng magandang chik.. tapos ngumiti yung kalahati ng labi mo and kumindat yung kilay mo.. and huling-huli mo ngumiti sya sweet na sweet so napakagat ka sa labe aw!... and inaproach mo.. woohoo!! eto yung ibig sabihen dumating na talaga yung true love mo.. kase biglang nagbago lahat nung nakita mo sya .. kase yung true love mo talaga.. biglang naging fling (LOL). Sumaryosep oh! kung kelan... wag na nga.

Makapag digest nanga lang ng kaso... FACTS of the case states (sorry ah ganto ka-short.. pang recitation mode to eh)

1. This petition for prohibition and mandamus challenges the constitutionality of :

a. R.A. 7942 (The Philippine Mining Act of 1995), 
b. its IRR 
c. Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement (FTAA) by the govt.  with Western Mining Corporation (Philippines) . (WMC-Phil)

2. FTAA violated the 1987 Constitution in that it is a service contract and is antithetical to the principle of sovereignty over our natural resources, because they allowed foreign control over the exploitation of our natural resources, to the prejudice of the Filipino nation.

ISSUE:

What is the proper interpretation of the phrase “Agreements involving Either Technical or Financial Assistance” contained in paragraph 4, Section 2, Article XII of the Constitution.

RULING:

SC upheld the constitutionality of the Philippine Mining Law, its IRR insofar as they relate to financial and technical agreements as well as the subject Financial and Technical Assistance Agreement.

Full control is not anathematic to day-to-day management by the contractor, provided that the State retains the power to direct overall strategy; and to set aside, reverse or modify plans and actions of the contractor. 

The idea of FULL CONTROL is similar to that which is exercised by the board of directors of a private corporation, the performance of managerial, operational, financial, marketing and other functions may be delegated to subordinate officers or given to contractual entities, BUT THE BOARD RETAINS FULL RESIDUAL CONTROL OF THE BUSINESS.

(Whuteveer... Ang haba talaga nitong kasong to eh.. sorry ah tinamad na ako)
