Sa annulment, pag-naputol ang kasal, wala ng obligasyon ang abusive spouse na suportahan ang abused spouse. PERO SA DIVORCE, may alimony. Kahit putol na ang kasal at hiwalay na, may obligasyon pa rin si abusive spouse na suportahan si abused spouse. THAT IS JUSTICE.

Sa annulment, maaaring makakuha ang dating mag-asawa sa hatian ng conjugal property. PERO SA DIVORCE, ang abusive spouse, pwedeng lagay sa batas walang makukuha ni singko sa conjugal properties. Pupunta sa anak ang parte nya; at kung walang anak, sa abused spouse. THAT's JUSTICE.

It is never right, even by way of innuendo, for a lawyer to condescend another lawyer just because he/she did not pass the bar examination the first time. Passing the bar exams is never the measure of the decency, honesty, integrity and intelligence of a lawyer.

REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8491 ALREADY provides an OATH of Allegiance which has a statutory formula. There is no authority given to the President to add and require a "HYMN AND A PLEDGE" to be recited during flag ceremony. Memorandum Circular No. 52 is clearly ultra vires and illegal.
