We should report, excoriate, expose and expel the Dastardly Impostor, Bencard. Whoever is pretending to be what they are not ought to follow your example, and just be themselves. Maybe you can help weed out these False Pretenders who are always hoodwinking the readers with clever disguises and impressing them with false authority. If only these readers weren't so gullible and stupid, maybe they would turn to the Genuine Pretenders!

you got it all wrong, tasio. defensor is a human being too like you who just happened to be once a part of the gma administration. if perjury was committed against him, he is entitled to his day in court. so, what makes you say that defensor was just "doing the bidding" of a "master"?

as a professional advocate, i "explain" the law to my clients, to adversaries of my clients and their counsels, and to the courts. i don't usually give unsolicited legal opinion or lecture just to display my expertise or lack of it, or to get validation from the likes of you. i am in this blog as any other commenter on matters that interest me, no necessarily on the law, but i try not to pretend to be what i am not.

nick, my apologies, but i think the title of this post should be "lozada, a portrait of a sanctimonious lamb" (or how to hoodwink the la salle sisters).

DJB,

Bencard is somewhat right in this regard, but I won't call your attention about your generalization of "judicial notice" because everyone knows that you are looking at it from a layman's point of view not from a very "iskinita" concept of law. I understand your message and I have perfectly no quarrel with you about it.

Just for the record, the court trying the JL case can take judicial notice of the fact that proceedings of substance at the Senate about the ZTE-fiasco took place because it is easily verifiable by resort to records that cannot be questioned. But as to the "truth" about the contents of this proceedings, the same cannot be taken judicial notice of by the court. The court has to make its own finding of truth independent that of the Senate findings if there is any.

When you said judicial notice of the truth, I interpret it to mean to take notice of the fact that a Senate investigation was made on this case though Bencard saw it as "an attempted bribery at the grand scale" has been committed and the court trying JLO must take this at its face value. (judicial notice).

I cannot understand why Flip like you, Kent, consider me one of them if I expose the TRUTH. Manhid na ba ang mga Flips? Or is it because LYING has become the norm and exposing the TRUTH is not normal but IDIOTIC?

You don't sound a highly intelligently designed human being.

Bencard,
Possibly, your problem is, you cannot keep up with the conversation and want to always channel it down some narrow legalistic eskinita. Worse, you are unable or unwilling to indicate the grandeur of the Law's principles so we see it at work in the simplest of social situations and of course in famous cases like the Subic Rape Case, the impeachment and other SCoRP cases. To you the Law is Auto Mechanics.

You make a living at the Law, like a Waiter serves a Menu. I want to live the Law, to understand the Laws of Man, like Physics or Science, which are about the Laws of Nature.

I am not interested in your exalted place in the Infinite Universe, as the gloomy Lawyer of God.

Be a Good Sport. Not a Snarling Wet Blanket, ok?
