Dayana Zubiri really takes after his patron and patronness Gloria and Mike Arroyo. Forgive Sen. Trillanes? The fake senator is having delusions.

Voting 17 to 4 on Resolution 22 Wednesday, the Senate officially asked the court to allow detained Senator Antonio Trillanes IV to perform his duties as senator.

Only Senators Joker Arroyo, Juan Ponce-Enrile, Richard Gordon,Wholesale Chanel, and Miriam Defensor-Santiago voted against the resolution.

Along with Trillanes, Senator Manuel Lapid was not in the session hall when the voting took place.

Neophyte Senator Miguel Zubiri, the object of Trillanes’ tirades over the questionable Maguindanao votes, said his vote for the resolution was a gesture of forgiveness.

“Personally I had doubts in supporting this measure after Senator Trillanes has publicly insulted this humble representation and maligned my integrity on national television,” Zubiri said. “But I have forgiven him, and in the spirit of reconciliation and magnanimity,Louis Vuitton handbags, I am extending my hands of cooperation. I am looking forward to working with him and debating with him on issues before this chamber.”

Another freshman, Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, said unlike the case of former congressman and convicted rapist Romeo Jalosjos, Trillanes’ is a political crime and not the common crime of rape.

He also cited the case of Enrile, who, during the term of former president Corazon Aquino, was charged and jailed for the “invented crime of rebellion complex with murder.”

“The crime was invented so that Enrile cannot come to this hall and perform his duties as senator,” Cayetano pointed out, also noting that the central issue of the Senate resolution is about representation.

“Is it wrong for us to express our sense so that the court can hear from us?” he asked.

Gordon,Hermes Bags, for his part, said his vote was a vote against Trillanes’ participation in the 2003 Oakwood mutiny.

Senator Francis Escudero said the Constitution, including its provision on separation of powers, does not prohibit the Senate from expressing its sentiment.

Even the normally quiet Senator Ramon Revilla Jr. stood up to explain his vote with the maxim: “Vox populi, vox Dei (The voice of the people is the voice of God).”

The others who voted in favor of the resolution were: Senate President Manuel Villar, Senate Pro Tempore Jose “Jinggoy” Estrada, Senate Majority Leader Francis Pangilinan, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel Jr., and Senators Edgardo Angara, Benigno Aquino III, Pia Cayetano, Rodolfo Biazon, Gregorio Honasan, Panfilo Lacson, Loren Legarda, Ana Consuelo Madrigal, and Manuel Roxas II.

Indian Institute of Technology Madras said it has filed for two patents based on nanotechnology,Marc Jacobs Handbags, including one for a nanocomposite adsorbent that could treat polluted wastewater from the textile and other industries.

S. Ramaprabhu, a professor at the school’s Alternative Energy and Nanotechnology Laboratory and department of physics,Mulberry handbags, led the research on the extensive surface area of nanomaterials.

Ramaprabhu found that nanocomposite adsorbents would remove dye molecules and odors from factory wastewater, making it suitable for industrial or agricultural use. The dye molecules could also be collected for re-use, the researchers said.

The other patent covers nanomaterials enabling efficient drug delivery in cancer treatment.

The water-intensive textile industry uses a number of flushing steps that add fat, oil chemicals and dye to the wastewater emitted from factories. The fixation rate of dye on cotton is about 70 percent, leaving significant amounts of dye in factory wastewater.

Ramaprabhu says the nanocomposite adsorbents would be inexpensive because they are made up of 90 percent graphite. The remainder is made up of carbon nanotubes, which have smooth, water-repellent interiors. Only water molecules can pass along the interior of carbon nanotubes, while viruses, bacteria,Wholesale Chanel, toxic metal ions and other organic molecules are kept out,Wholesale scarves, according to nanotech researchers.

Carbon nanotubes were the focus of water purification studies last year by the Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai, India. Researchers there were investigating how water filtration systems based on carbon nanotubes could be used to remove arsenic, fluoride, heavy metals and toxic organic chemicals
