Blending, not separation, of powers

The Supreme Court (SC) continues to be secretive? A truthful assets statements cannot lead anyone to trouble. Yet, the SC has again denied a request of the BIR (no longer Bigay Ikaw Regalo under the leadership of Kim Henares, whose shame campaign I disfavor though) for assets statements, making SC stand for Secretive Court. It would not even give the public certain rulings! Nor copies of papers in a case where the one requesting is not a party. For crying out loud.

Marcos was one tough criminal genius who imprisoned Senators Aquino, Diokno, Rodrigo, Mitra and Salonga. But, he had the full panoply of martial law to back up his egregious misadventure into kakistocracy and kleptocracy. Macoy had non-crony media outlets closed.
