VP Sara requires names, proofs of killings of 30K victims

‘Crimes against humanity’ require thousands of cases
“VP Sara Duterte’s assertion that there is no case of crime against humanity against Pres. Rodrigo Duterte because only 43 cases were mentioned in the Warrant of Arrest when ‘crimes against humanity is a serious allegation’ requiring thousands of deaths has no basis at all under the Rome Statute of the ICC.

Cayetano does a Quiboloy
“This is my personal code. More than being Alan Cayetano, or a senator, a former secretary of foreign affairs, a former speaker or congressman, I believe I am an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ,” Cayetano declared.
