What's the Big Secret? Not This.

Send an email to The Jester-in-Exile!

Something interesting is happening Monday morning.

Something that people should find out if they can go and be a part of, and if they can, they should.

And, it's not a big secret. Fact is, they're letting it all hang out.

Got this in my mailbox:

“What’s the Big Secret?”
A Public Forum On Executive Privilege and the People’s Right to Know
14 April 2008, 8:00 am to 1:30 pm
Sequoia and Redwood Function Rooms, 3/F Richmonde Hotel, San Miguel Ave., Ortigas


Program:
8:00 am – 8:30 am - Registration

8:30 am – 8:40 am - Opening Remarks (Atty. Chito Gascon, Libertas)

8:40 am – 9:10 am - Executive Privilege (Atty. Carlos Medina, Ateneo Human Rights Center)

9:10 am – 9:40 am - The Legislative Power of Inquiry (Dean Pacifico Agabin; aside -- the man is one brilliant lawyer)

9:40 am – 10:10 am - The People’s Right to Know (Atty. Nepomuceno Malaluan, Action for Economic Reforms and ATIN)

10:10 am – 10:45 am - Q&A

The forum is co-organized by Libertas, ALG, TAN and ATIN, and the speakers Dean Agabin and Atty. Medina are the Senate's counsels in the Neri vs. Senate.

This looks like it should be interesting, wouldn't you agree?

I hope it's free, though.

Albeit grudgingly sometimes (which more or less depends on his caffeine intake), the jester-in-exile welcomes comments and feedback. Maybe even fan mail and flame mail. Heh.

Send an email to (no, this is not a Friendster email address); unfortunately, the jester-in-exile cannot guarantee that he will get to read it on a timely basis.

Donations, of course, will be very very VERY welcome (but are not tax-free; this is not a charity, pity).
