Can someone point to me which legal culture uses “legal luminary” on such a commonplace level. Because istg I think it is the penultimate combo of Pinoy tackiness and toxic reverence for anyone lucky enough to pass the Bar exam. Architect of Martial Law should be on every obituary not legal luminary

Exactly one angry netizen complaining about the 1935 Constitution in the comments section of a review of “Quezon” (in Mr Avanceña’s wall no less). Legal transfers bleeding out into Facebook thanks to Jerrold Tarog’s film, I guess??
