Putin, 72: the succession is always on my mind
Russian President Vladimir Putin, the longest serving Kremlin chief since Josef Stalin, said in remarks aired on Sunday that he was always thinking about the succession, and suggested that there could be an contest between several candidates. Putin, a former KGB lieutenant colonel who was handed the presidency on the last day of 1999 Boris Yeltsin, served as president from 1999 to 2008, then as prime minister until 2012, and then again as president from 2012 to the present. "I always think about it," Putin, 72, said when asked if he thought about the succession in a film by state television about Putin's quarter of a century as Russia's paramount leader entitled "Russia, Kremlin, Putin, 25 years". "Ultimately, the choice is for the...
ICC witnesses need a Passport or a National ID
The defense team of former president Rodrigo Duterte has petitioned Pre-Trial Chamber I of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to impose “stringent” rules on the participation of the drug war victims in the impending trial, notably their identification which must be verified through a national identity card or a passport with a recent photograph. Duterte’s lead legal counsel, Nicholas Kaufman, asserted that by limiting the types of identity documents for the applications of the victims and the persons acting on their behalf, the ICC “will enhance the reliability of the identity verification process and significantly reduce the risk of fraud.” Read more at: Tighten rules on victims’ ID, Duterte’s lawyers ask ICC Read more Daily...
Photo-op disaster: a wake-up call for Bangag Jr.
“A picture paints a thousand words.” That viral photo of Camille Villar posing beside Vice President Sara Duterte—flanked by Villar’s billionaire father Manny Villar and no less than President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s supposed political nemesis—says more than any press release or campaign jingle ever could. It’s not just a photo-op. It’s a scathing indictment of Rep. Toby Tiangco’s colossal failure as campaign manager of the administration’s 12-man Senate slate, Alyansa para sa Bagong Pilipinas. For an administration-backed candidate like Villar to seek the blessing of the vice president currently facing impeachment for, among others, allegedly threatening the life of the President himself, is both ironic and insulting. It reeks of...
Budol na naman ba 'to? haha
A photo showing Duterte and Marcos alongside controversial film director Darryl Yap went viral over the weekend, sparking buzz about a budding alliance between the two high-profile women. The image, shared by social media personality Tio Moreno on Facebook, is seen by many as a subtle show of support from the vice president. Marcos has seen her ranking slip in the latest Pulse Asia survey, conducted in March 2025. From a solid 4th–12th place standing in February, she has now dropped to the 13th–18th bracket—just outside the Senate’s Magic 12. The dip comes amid the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, whose enduring popularity has swayed voter sentiment. In response, Marcos has distanced herself from the Alyansa Para sa...
Duterte arrest a double game
Even as the Marcos administration publicly denounces the International Criminal Court (ICC) and insists on noncooperation, revelations from insiders and legal observers highlight a stark contradiction: the government may have quietly facilitated the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte. Kristina Conti, ICC-accredited lawyer representing victims of the drug war, pointed out in an interview striking inconsistencies in the Philippine government's behavior. While the Marcos camp has repeatedly emphasized its refusal to cooperate with The Hague-based tribunal, the abruptness of Duterte's arrest suggests a backdoor deal or, at the very least, silent acquiescence. "This arrest would not have happened if the UniTeam [of the ruling...
Fake News Is A Business
FAKE NEWS IS A BUSINESS People like to think fake news is just a byproduct of the internet, a little chaos that comes with free speech. It’s not. It’s intentional. It’s manufactured. It’s profitable. Bloggers, vloggers, and so-called “alternative media” have figured out the game: Outrage sells. Truth? Boring. Facts? Too slow. Fake news goes viral. Virality means views. Views mean ad money. And once the cash rolls in? The damage doesn’t matter. They move on to the next fake controversy, the next manufactured *******, the next deception — because why stop when there are no consequences? They get ρáíd. The lie spreads. The truth gets buried. And when called out? “Wag kang balat-sibuyas! I’m exercising my freedom of speech!” But if...
Reading FPRRD Defense Lawyer Kaufman
During an interview with local media, Nicholas Kaufman, the lead counsel of President Rodrigo Duterte in the crime against humanity case, said he was not disclosing the strategy to bring his client home as soon as possible but provided broad hints. “I am not disclosing defense strategy. You, however, are quite clearly aware of the weaknesses of the case; namely, the grievous violations of due process and the shaky jurisdictional basis,” the veteran International Criminal Court (ICC) lawyer said. The lawyer has a solid background, as he started his legal career, like Duterte, as a prosecutor. He served as Senior District Attorney in Jerusalem in 1996 and as a prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia...
DILG Rimula is lying. There are no 30,000 EJK Victims in the warrant of arrest.
The government here in the Philippines is lying. Kakampinks/Libtards together with the MEDIA push this narrative of 30,000 victims because it’s their only way to sensationalize the War on Drugs issue. And many people believe this? LMAO. What a joke. There are 43 murder cases committed by rogue cops, which our domestic courts can duly process. These do not meet the criteria for extrajudicial killings (EJK), which require them to be “widespread” and “systematic.” The ICC is a joke by arresting DU30 for 43 allege EJK. But can't arrest the HAMAS? It's so clear that the arrest was a poltical move. Source: 1. ICC Warrant of Arrest: https://www.icc-cpi.int/court-record/icc-01/21-83 2. Live Feed on Youtube...
DDS Enabler Denied PR on Canada.
Basahin niyo ‘to bago kayo mangarap ng “bagong buhay” sa ibang bansa. Because the world is closing in also on Duterte’s enablers. Duterte thought he was untouchable. His tokhang cops thought they could escape accountability and his enablers thought they could just move on. Pero ngayon? Duterte: Extradited. Sitting in a detention cell in The Hague. Former Tokhang police na si JOSUE LIMMONG AHUDAY, tinanggihan ng Canada ang kanyang Permanent Residency Application. To be precise, his PR application was denied because Canada found him inadmissible under Section 35(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) due to his complicity in crimes against humanity during Duterte’s drug war. DDS enablers: Blacklisted? Investigated...
Duterte will be back on the Philippines
Duterte will be back in the Philippines. Unfortunately for you DDS, hindi na siya makakabalik. Most likely, he'll die in The Hague. Mukha nang kawawa si Tatay diba? Mukha na talaga siyang mamatay. The stress, confinement, realizations that his actions placed him into this situation, that "Bisaya humor" won't work in ICC - all these are getting into him. But fortunately for the Philippines most importantly to the victims, we're witnessing this. Laban Tatay Du'Turd. Wag ka muna mamamatay!
War on Drugs
You will never see a War on Drugs in Southeast Asia again. Which president would dare challenge the secret businesses of Western countries when the consequence is an ICC arrest? Let the drugs flow and spread like a rising river, flooding the Asian people. Let those profiting from this trade thrive—until they witness the devastating end result of this pandemic. I hope you don’t regret what you’ve done, not just in the Philippines, but across all of Asia.
Head of DDS
The Chamber found that there was an attack directed against a civilian population pursuant to an organisational policy while Mr Duterte was the head of the Davao Death Squad (DDS), and pursuant to a State policy while he was the President of the Philippines. Moreover, there are reasonable grounds to believe that this attack was both widespread and systematic: the alleged attack took place over a period of several years and resulted in thousands of deaths. In the arrest warrant, the Chamber focused on a sample of alleged incidents to facilitate its analysis. Concerning Mr Duterte’s alleged role as the head of the DDS and subsequently as the President of the Philippines, the Chamber found reasonable grounds to believe that he, jointly...
