While the Philippine Commentary is not strictly a blawg, a lot of your articles deal with legal matters (all insightful, I may add). This is precisely the reason why I asked for your permission to reprint some of your articles in this Forum - for instance, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://jlp-law.com/blog/special-court-oversee-anti-terror-law/" rel="nofollow">a special court to oversee the anti-terror law.</a> Still, I look forward to the day when a court decision makes reference to the blog, citing the url or linking to it. Hopefully, the ponente will discover that a particular article is printed both on paper and in a blog. If (or when?) the blog is cited, rather than or together with the newspaper article, then we will know that serious blogs and bloggers are taken seriously by the court.
