For people who know each other well, non-verbal communication may transcend the limits of words. One can choose to be silent, and still be understood. This, however, may not hold true for all occasions. Sometimes, we need to speak up in order to be heard and understood. This principle resonates in a case dated Feb. 4, 2015 in which the Supreme Court (SC) favored the taxpayer who invoked the defense of prescription, notwithstanding that such defense was never raised in the protest filed before the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) nor on appeal with the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA).

He also said he did not feel alluded to when the President alluded to someone who said “gaganda ang buhay” if he becomes president. “Merong isang bahagi doon palagay ko hindi naman ako pinatutungkulan ‘nun. Kasi ang pagkakasabi meron diyan nagsasalita na giginhawa ang bayan pero ang salita lage ay basta, basta. Wow na wow naman ‘yun!” Binay said. Atty.
