^^it's the lawyer who would peg the amount of damages sought. i guess the amount asked is reasonable; assuming that it's excessive, the court will just reduce the award.

with regards to the personal attack made against the nun, from the viewpoint of the faithful, it's blasphemous. i am not a dogmatist, neither a religious addict, nor a bigot, but i feel that any comments attacking the institution to which i am affiliated would likewise hurt me. i'm sorry po...but as a believer, i think it's my moral obligation also to defend them as part and parcel of my faith. correlative to the right to believe is the right not to believe...so yun lang po, wag naman nating lagyan ng malisya...
