Got this from the mail :) I knew on reading, that it could be the government argument in its MR LOL (May problema lang, aside from not quite agreeing with argument ... hindi ka pwedeng mag-dagdag pa sa evidence mo sa MR, can you? Lawyers?) From DBM: Dear friends and colleagues, It is with pleasure that we share with you Ms. Raissa Robles’ essay, “President Aquino’s dead mom, President Cory, may yet save her son from jail over DAP,” which she published on her website, Raissa Robles: Inside Politics and Beyond. Ms. Robles’ insightful and exhaustively researched piece explores possible bases for the Supreme Court to review its ‘partially unconstitutional’ verdict on the DAP, a ruling that that High Court issued last week. Ms. Robles provides a strong case for the probable constitutionality of the DAP by citing specific provisions and presidential powers under the Administrative Code of 1987: “The DAP is unconstitutional if you only look at the 1987 Constitution and Chapter 5, Section 38 of the Administrative Code of 1987 – which is what the justices did. The DAP becomes constitutional if you look at the 1987 Constitution AND Sections 38 and 49 of Chapter 5 of the Administrative Code of 1987. You need both Section 38 and Section 49, Chapter 5 of the Administrative Code to make DAP LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL.” Robles later stressed that if the Justices had looked at Section 49, they would have read that this section gives the President and Budget Secretary vast powers to use “savings in the appropriations”. She added that section 49 extends the President’s powers to pool and deploy savings beyond the executive branch to all other branches of government for: 1) Priority activities that will promote the economic well-being of the nation, including food production, agrarian reform, energy development, disaster relief, and rehabilitation 2) Repair, improvement and renovation of government buildings and infrastructure and other capital assets damaged by natural calamities.
