Tumbang Preso

Mabuti pa ang lata naibabangon at nabibigyan ng tsansa/Ako’y pinatumba at hindi binigyan ng kahit isa.

Senators in birthday suits

If they could not abide by their oath and wear their robes symbolically, they just showed they are as bad as the emperor with no clothes.

Duterte’s release will escalate attacks on victims, their lawyers

Given the long history of threats, harassment, and even killings targeting victims, witnesses, and human rights lawyers, we assert that Duterte’s release will escalate these attacks. Malaki ang panganib na lalo pang tataas ang pananakot sa mga biktima at kanilang mga abogado kapag siya ay pinalaya. Dapat unahin ng ICC ang kaligtasan ng mga naghahanap ng hustisya.

Marcos Jr., Duterte killed agrarian reform

CARP is a dead duck, eviscerated by the bogus promise of land distribution by the Duterte and Marcos Jr. administrations, both of them the worst implementors of CARP. Add the program to the long list of Tokhang victims.

Bloodbath looms in 2028 between the Marcoses, Dutertes

“If Marcos Jr. continues to turn a blind eye to the need for accountability, he risks emboldening the Dutertes further. This could very well be the signal they are waiting for to consolidate power and politically eliminate the Marcoses come 2028. That would not just be a political contest—it could turn into a bloodbath.”

Desperado ang kampong Duterte

“Paulit-ulit lang ang argumento ng kampo ni Duterte. Noong hindi pumayag ang mga hukom na kusang mag-inhibit, ngayon gusto naman nilang i-disqualify ang mga ito. Malinaw na wala na silang maisip na paraan para ipagtanggol si Duterte kaya ang mga hukom na ang inaatake nila. Ang katotohanan, natatakot sila na maharap sa hustisya si Duterte. Itong panibagong taktika ay pagpapatunay lamang na wala silang matibay na depensa sa mga akusasyon ng pagpatay at krimen laban sa sangkatauhan.”

Sts. Sara, Paulo Duterte unmasked  

Sts. Sara and Paulo want to reduce the matter to “political harassment” even as the latter admitted that the mauling happened after an extended drinking session which ironically started from the businessman’s home. It proves that the Dutertes cannot countenance any adverse publicity against them, particularly an incident that happened in the Obrero district of their sultanate.

Duterte’s legal team undermines international justice

“The Duterte legal team’s argument that the ICC lost jurisdiction after the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute holds no water. Ang sinasabi ng Rome Statute ay may hurisdiksyon ang ICC sa mga kaso o issue na naumpisahan na bago pa man naging epektibo ang withdrawal. Hindi ito maitatanggi ng kampo ni Duterte.”
