The article analyses the notes, which were prepared by provisional investigation commissions formed by the Seimas, in which it was suggested that the Seimas should either agree or disagree on the abolition of the immunity of a Member of the Seimas. In the opinion of the author, an analysis of these notes permits to assert that these notes often have essential drawbacks: the notes contain insufficient arguments following which the commission substantiates its proposal that the Seimas should not give its consent to hold a Member of the Seimas criminally liable, to arrest him or restrict he freedom otherwise; at times such notes do not contain any such arguments at all; sometimes the commissions exceed the powers granted to them and undertake functions which are not characteristic of such commissions. The Constitution establishes the immunity of a Member of the Seimas not for the purpose that a Member of the Seimas who committed a crime could avoid criminal liability, but that he would not be held criminally liable in the absence of legal grounds, that he would not be persecuted for political or other similar reasons, and that no influence (which is prohibited by the Constitution) would be exerted on him due to his activity in the capacity of a Member of the Seimas.

"How Pinoy R U? Pag narinig mo ang mga salitang "Ponoy Ako," kanta lang ba ng Orange and Lemons ang naiisip mo? Kung ipinanganak ka sa isa sa mga 7,107 islands ng Perlas ng Silangan, Pinoy ka. O kahit na sa ibang bansa ka nagkamulat pero certified Filipinos ang parents mo, matatawag ka ding kalahi ni Jose Rizal at Manny Pacquiao. Pero what makes a person truely Pinoy? Ano ang mga distinct moral values na nagdedescribe kung sino nga ba tayo? Nagjoin forces sina Ronald at Rei para lang iexplain ang mechanics of being a true Filipino - sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa. At ang lahat nang ito ay nagsisimula sa puso."--Cover
