“The Revised Rules is yet another example of the whole-of-nation approach in promoting and enhancing the intellectual property system, where the judiciary and executive branches, as well as the private sector, have worked in synergy, guided by the shared vision of enhancing judicial processes in adjudication of IP rights cases,” IPOPHL director general Rowel S. Barba said.

If ever thereâs something in need of canceling itâs âcancel culture.â That pernicious attitude that whoever and whatever disagrees with your beliefs or perception of the world should not only be silenced but destroyed. Itâs sheer fascism disguised behind saccharine pleas for equality and tolerance.
People suffering from this affliction come in many forms and it would be unfair to attribute it exclusively to the âwoke generation.â Even in the supposedly mature world of academia and political commentary, there are people threatening others with destruction for simply having ideas contrary to theirs.
Which shows you that insanity can strike anywhere.
