updates on constitutional law:
doctrine: state policies and principles are not self-executory... they merely serve as a guideline in the enactment of laws by the legislature...
exceptions: the right to ecological balance as exemplified in the oposa v. factoran case with regard to the granting of 'timber licensing' by the DENR where the SC held that children with the representation of their parents and/ or legal guardians have the proper standing in court to demand for a balance in the ecological system...
so there it goes, that brings us back to the state principles and policies on the controversial ' health bill' months ago.. will it be declared 'unconstitutional?
answer is in the doctrine...
all for now...
