PRESS CLUB WANTS QUISUMBING IMPEACHED
FOR going wild over failed
“bathroom interview,” Human
Rights Commissioner Coco
Quisumbing committed acts that
prevented reporters from gath-
ering facts on the development
about the torture scandal.
This development came after
a police officer was captured
on video torturing an alleged
snatcher by repeatedly flick-
ing up the string attached to
the testicles of the man lying
naked on the floor and at the
same time whipping a rod on
his face.
According to Jerry Yap, Na-
tional Press Club president, if
the commissioner will not make
a public apology, the NPC will
consider filing an impeachment
complaint against her.
It was learned that Quisumb-
ing violated the trust reposed
in her by the people when she

tation Franchising and

FRB chairman Dante Lantin
said Guevarra Bus Line’s
franchise is suspended for
one month.
Killed in the incident
aside from Gerbasch were

Orense and their driver
Santos Ramos, Jr.
Lantin said based on the
initial investigation of the LT-
FRB Region 5, Wilson delos
Santos, driver of the bus, lost
control of the vehicle after
its tie rod broke. It rammed
the Red Toyota Innova car-
rying Gerbasch and her
companions on their way to
Naga City after attending the
screening of Miss Bicolandia
in Legazpi City.
The victims’ car was
cruising along the highway
of Sitio Banasi in Barangay
Pawili when the incident
took place around 11a.m.
Saturday.
Santos yielded to police
and charges of reckless
imprudence resulting in
multiple homicide and mul-
tiple physical injuries are
being readied against the
bus driver. Kim Pascual
was appointed as CHR com-
missioner. “That trust is for her
to guard the people’s human
rights, including their right to
exercise press freedom and to
be informed on matters that are
of their interest such as develop-
ments about the police torture
video,” Yap said.
“By doing that, she acted like
a Dracula watching over a blood
bank. She can be trusted no
more. She cheated the people.
She cheated the journalists who
are ironically of her kind,” the
NPC chief added.
News reports show Quisumb-
ing had berated DZMM reporter
Dennis Datu for not following
her to the bathroom where she
allegedly directed him to go to
interview her.
“Dinuro ako,” Datu described
how the commissioner got mad
at him.
Mancao camp OKs house arrest vs Ping
THE camp of former Police Se-
nior Superintendent Cezar Mancao
II would not oppose the house
arrest for Sen. Panfilo Lacson who
is facing two counts of murder for
the November 2000 kidnap-slaying
of publicist Salvador “Bubby”
Dacer and his driver Emmanuel
Corbito.
Speaking at the Balitaan sa
Tinapayan news forum in Manila,
Mancao’s lawyer Ferdinand Topa-
cio said they would not oppose
if Lacson would be placed under
house arrest if he would surface to
face his trial.
Topacio, however, reiterated
his call for Lacson to surrender to
authorities and face his case.
“We would understand if Lacson
would be afforded with this kind of
treatment (house arrest) since he is
a known person and senator of the
Philippines,” Topacio told reporters
in a news forum.
Middle class Pinoys may slip to poverty
MIDDLE class Filipinos with
large number of household mem-
bers are at risk of falling into
poverty if the government fails
to create policies that improve
wages, education and healthcare,
an Asian Development Bank
(ADB) study warned.
In a study titled, “The Rise of
Asia’s Middle Class,” the Manila-
based lender said middle class
households with large family
and a large member of depen-
dents were more likely to fall
into poverty.
“The larger the number of
household members working
as own-account members and
casual/temporary employees, the
3
Prior to that, Quisumbing
was “raising hell” before a news
conference was held at the CHR.
She constantly directed camera-
men on the angle of the shot and
even scolding reporters who
were on the other side of the
table. Quisumbing reportedly
wanted all mediamen to gather
in a single corner during the
press conference.
Aside from the incident on
the DZMM reporter, Quisumb-
ing flared up, this time, scolding
other media members waiting
for a press conference about
police torture developments.
Yap said the act of a high
public official caused a chill-
ing effect on Datu’s practice
of press freedom, constituting
it as an act of violating the
human right to exercise the
liberty to express, speak, and
to publish.
Topacio said they would not
contest if the government decides
to place him under house arrest
just like former President Joseph
Estrada.
“Sumuko ka na (Lacson) at
harapin mo ang kaso na isinampa
laban sa 'yo,” Topacio said.
He said Mancao’s camp would
not mind if the senator would not be
mixed with common criminals.
“The senator said he was po-
litically persecuted by the former
administration. Then it is time
for him to surface since there is
a new administration. This time
he can prove his innocence if he
is indeed innocent of the crime,”
he said.
