The indolence of the race? Hans Cacdac di batugan

Last Monday, December 29, I wrote to the Office of the Court Administrator, Supreme Court, Manila (gist):

“I miss the days when the Supreme Court worked during the holiday season, e.g., Tactaquin v. Palileo, decided on September 29, 1967, unanimously, and motion for reconsideration, reversed, on December 29, 1967, unanimously. Lawyer, Justice Florenz Regalado (the Bedan holds the all-time bar exam record of 96.7%). Unanimous ruling, unanimous reversal, in Vol. 21 SCRA, which has four months of decisions, clear, today, only four days (or even as few as two, such as Vol. 712, Dec. 10-11, 2013), confusing pa at times (with so many separate opinions going every which way).
