Senator-Judge Bam Aquino on Wednesday confirmed that his uncle, the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., used an alias when he returned to the Philippines. “Tama po, si Ninoy Aquino po, ang kanyang alias ay Marcial Bonifacio, para makauwi siya sa Pilipinas nung nasa Boston siya.

Ligutan on misleading questions issue: 'It's not personal, it's about the law'
Private prosecutor Amando Ligutan on Wednesday maintained that his social media post about misleading questions during the impeachment trial was not personal and was simply about the law that lawyers must follow.

Your honors, why not? Yes, I am a lawyer, but more than just a lawyer, first and foremost, I am a teacher,” he said. “Ang pagtuturo, ang pagtatama ng mali, ay walang pinipiling lugar at walang pinipiling panahon (teaching and correcting what’s wrong pick no specific place or time). That’s why I made that post—I was...
Escudero reminds Sara Duterte of sub judice rule in impeachment case

The Vice President said the accusations against her should be proven with evidence and not with insults, speculations, or political theatrics. Escudero said that considering Duterte issued the statement while he was making the ruling, prospectivity would apply. “However, the presiding officer would like to...
