parol

In the past, war survivors have used things like electricity and water bills—called parol evidence—to corroborate their property claims.

The arch, which was designed by artists Eliseo Art Silva and Celestino Geronimo Jr., features cultural symbols like the parol, a star-shaped lantern displayed by Filipinos during the Christmas season, and the gumamela, or hibiscus, flower, which is intended to pay tribute to frontline workers.

Some have also objected to the arch’s depiction of a “parol” — a star-shaped lantern displayed by Filipinos during the Christmas season — because of its associations with Spanish and American colonialism.

The Latina drag trio composed of Kay Sedia, Frieda Laye and Chita Parol celebrates a decade and a half of silliness, shenanigans and song with the new comedy-mystery “Chico’s Angels: Five-0: Waikiki Chicas.”

Dutch law, however, does not have the parol evidence rule.
