ADVERTISEMENTRyan Amper, spokesperson of Barug Katungod Mindanao, slammed the Philippine Army’s 36th Infantry Battalion for the killing of civilians Emel Tejero and Randell Gallego. Lourdes Lacson confirmed she applied for a tree-cutting permit from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources after the town council approved the rehabilitation of the plaza as a tourism project. In an announcement released on Friday, Supreme Court clerk of court and JBC secretary Edgar Aricheta said the council scheduled the public interview of the candidates on Feb. 13. The seat was the one vacated by Associate Justice Lucas Bersamin when he was appointed chief justice in November last year. Only four of the candidates will be interviewed on Feb. 13 as the others have already been interviewed for the other vacancy in the Supreme Court created by the retirement of Justice Noel Tijam on Jan. 5.
