‘Liberty and Prosperity’ goes global
By Jed M. Eva III
FOR THE SECOND year in a row, the Philippine Supreme Court will play host to an international forum among judicial officers from around the globe.
     Dubbed as the Global Forum on Liberty and Prosperity, representatives from judiciaries and bar associations from various continents will meet on October 18 to 20 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel to tackle issues related to Liberty and Prosperity – two concerns, Forum Chairman Senior Associate Justice Reynato S. Puno says, “that have haunted mankind from the beginning of history, and are still haunting us.” Over 500 local and foreign delegates are expected to attend the Forum. Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban, who has been underscoring the necessity of upholding the twin beacons of Liberty and Prosperity since he assumed his post as chief magistrate in December last year, will be the Forum’s keynote speaker. > MORE
