This April in History

The Supreme Court upholds the right of Congress to compel the appearance of executive officials in inquiries in aid of legislation by partially voiding Executive Order 464 but declared valid on its face the requirement for executive officials to secure the President's consent before appearing during the Question Hour.

The Supreme Court writes finis to Hacienda Luisita v. Presidential Agrarian Reform Council, ruling that there must be a total land distribution of the agricultural land of Hacienda Luisita, Inc. to its original farm worker-beneficiaries who, in turn, will pay just compensation based on the 1989 land valuation.
