I doubt that before today, Falcis received coverage in broadcast television news.
Ngayong June 15, inilabas ng Korte Suprema ang desisyon nitong suspindehin si Atty. Jesus Falcis sa pag-practice ng abogasya sa loob ng isang taon. Pero sino nga ba si Falcis at bakit siya sinuspinde ng Korte Suprema? Kilalanin siya sa video na ito.

“You’ve got to find ways to navigate and dominate how people consume information, in the general election and the primary, and today people encounter information they don’t seek it out. That’s just reality and Ossoff generationally understands that.” politico.com/news/magazine/2…

I was in my 30s when I learned what a pantry was, or at least that it was not always a separate room
LeBron James reveals he didn't know what a pantry was until high school “I went to my high school coach's house and I asked him, ‘Can I get a snack or some chips or whatever?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, just go in the pantry.’ I'm like, ‘What the fuck is the pantry?’” “Where I grew up, everything is on top of the refrigerator. The bread, the chips, the cereal, everything is on top of the refrigerator. I don't know what the hell a pantry is” “That was my motivation right there. I'm like I got to give my mama a pantry”

What I’d do back then with idle time and nothing to distract me but my offline Nokia 3210? I’d try to create original palindromes. A complete time suck. But so hard to do on a 3210, without pen and paper.

Pre-socmed or Internet, when I’d go out, I’d buy the early afternoon edition of People’s Tonight, which carried overnight news not yet in the dailies. That’s how I’d distract myself then during idle moments.
BBC: “What was your screen time?” Student: “Nine hours.” BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?” Student: “Stare at a wall.”

As I grew older and my tastes changed, I’d go instead to the nearest BookSale (then everywhere) and buy back editions of The New Republic (or The New Yorker, if lucky), usually available for 10 pesos or less. That’s replaced People’s Tonight as my idle outdoor reading.

In a 1988 ruling (In Re: Gonzalez, 243 Phil. 167), the SC held that disbarment cases cannot prosper vs impeachable officials whose qualifications to office depend on their membership in the PH bar, during their term in office. The rule applies to SC Justices and the Ombudsman.

Falcis ruling is interesting to me on aspect of aggravating circumstances that increase penalty in lawyer's discipline cases. First, prior judicial contempt penalties, not just CPRA violations, may be accounted for increasing penalties. Does lower court contempt count as well?

Second, apparently the commission of offense on social media, as well as an intent to polarize political groups, is itself aggravating in itself. Does this heighten an obligation for lawyers to, publicly at least, avoid flamboyant expressions of political partisanship?

It would be odd if from this ruling, it follows that beyond decorum, a lawyer-politician campaigning for office or for their advocacies would find themselves more hampered in their political expression compared to politicians who are not lawyers.
