Philip Tubeza, I am giving you “two thumbs up”

For the introduction of his your article Comelec: Many gays in Congress; no need for Ang Ladlad, I am giving him two thumbs up. In the report he writes:

MANILA, Philippines—Will the gays in Congress please stand up? Claiming that gays and lesbians were already well-represented in Congress, Commission on Elections (Comelec) Commissioner Nicodemus Ferrer Monday defended the poll body’s decision to deny Ang Ladlad’s petition to run as a party-list group in the May 2010 elections.

Just plain funny.

Legarda vs. legarda (“Vice Presidential” Case of Capitalization) Part 5

In my previous entries, I documented some of what I believe were improper capitalizations of acronyms. Today, I spot another one. The last name of Senator Loren Legarda was written in lower case: legarda. See the following screenshot of the Michael Lim Ubac article: Villar takes potshots at Aquino, cooes to legarda

Legarda v. legarda capitalization issue part 5

I am sure this is just a typo.

Inquirer Please Ask Donna Pazzibugan who “deemed” it

Dear Inquirer,

In Donna Pazzibugan’s article “Jalosjos seeking Absolute Pardon“, she writes:

It is deemed that an absolute pardon from the President would restore Jalosjos’ political rights including his right of suffrage (the right to vote and be voted upon), which he lost when the Supreme Court affirmed his conviction.

My friend would like to know who “deemed” it. Is it a fact? If so, can you just say:

An absolute pardon from the President would restore Jalosjos’ political rights including his right of suffrage (the right to vote and be voted upon), which he lost when the Supreme Court affirmed his conviction.

He Who Deemed it,
Ako Pa Rin!
