The Case Of Cotabato City Judge Indar

The Supreme Court of the Philippines disbarred a trial court judge in Cotabato for issuing decisions on numerous annulments of marriage cases without conducting any judicial proceedings in the cases.

In per curiam decision, the High Court found Judge Cadar O. Indar, Al Haj, Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 14, Cotbato City and Acting Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court, branch 15, Shariff Aguak, Maguindanao, guilty of gross misconduct and dishonesty.

The case originated from reports by the Local Civil Registrars of Manila and Quezon City to the Office of the Court Administration that they have an alarming number of decisions, resolutions, and orders on annulment of marriages cases issued by Judge Indar. 

the audit team found that the list of cases submitted by the Local Civil Registrars did not even appear in the records of cases received, pending, and disposed by RTC Branch 15 in Shariff Aguak and the annulment of marriage decisions did not also exist in the records of RTC Branch 14 in Cotabato City.

During investigations, Judge Indar and clerk of court lawyer Umaima Silongan failed to appear before the investigating team. The authorities also failed to locate their whereabouts. 

The Supreme Court ruled:

"Such malfeasance not only makes a mockery o marriage and its lie-changing consequences but likewise grossly violates the basic norms of truth, justice, and due process. Not only, that Judge Indar's gross misconduct greatly undermines the people's faith in the judiciary and betrays public trust and confidence in the courts. Judge Indar's utter lack of moral fitness has no place in the Judiciary. Judge Indar deserves nothing less than dismissal from the service!"

Automatic Weather Stations Installed in Region XI

Six Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) were successfully installed in Region XI by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PAGASA). the six weather stations were strategically located at the Provincial Nursery of Baganga, Davao Oriental; Jose Abad Santos, Davao del Sur; PAGASA office, Sasa, Davoa City; City Hall, Island Garden City of Samal; Provincial Capitol of Nabunturan, Compostela Valley Province; and at the Davao Oriental State college o Science and Technology in Mati, Davao Oriental. The AWS are stand-alone devices that measure weather-related factors and transmit data from remote areas to the PAGASA Head Office on real-time basis.

"These AWS stations installed in the region play critical role in mitigating hazards not only in the region but all throughout the country. This equipment will transmit weather data from the remote sites to PAGASA Head Office for further analysis and weather forecasting," says DOST XI Regional Director Dr. Anthony Sales. 

Aside from those installed by DOST-PAGASA, there were four units installed in Region XI under the collocation project with SMART Communications Inc. The collocation project of DOST-PAGASA with SMART aims to improve the weather monitoring, forecasts, warnings and strengthen the disaster preparedness and mitigation efforts of the Philippines.

Issues of Sovereignty - The Territorial Dispute between China and Philippines


Scarborough Shoal, a cluster of coral reefs and islets...

It lies well within a 200-nautical-miles "exclusive economic zone" provided for by the United Nations Convention on "The Law of Sea". But China - which claims most of the South China Sea, including portions also claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan, insists that the Shoal has been part of its territory since at least the 13th century and points to old maps that mark it as Chinese... .
