Philippines Supreme Court to weigh whether Ver is tried

The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will hold a hearing tomorrow to decide whether to stop the government's ombudsman from prosecuting armed forces chief Fabian C. Ver and 25 others implicated in the Benigno Aquino assassination.

Meanwhile, the mother of Rolando Galman, who the military said killed Aquino, sought a writ of habeas corpus for her son's wife, who has been missing for nine months. Saturnina Galman's daughter-in-law Lina Lazaro is a key witness in the case.

Also, the presidential palace announced that President Ferdinand E. Marcos has decided to seek reelection in three years.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
