The Sara Duterte Impeachment Timeline
TIMELINE: Sara Duterte impeachment Duterte, once a strong ally of Marcos, ran alongside him in the 2022 election as part of the Uniteam alliance. She secured 32,208,417 votes, or 61.53% of the total votes cast — outperforming Marcos, who garnered 31,629,783 votes. Initially appointed as Marcos’ education secretary, Duterte later resigned, officially marking the end of an alliance that had been described as a “marriage of convenience” from the start. While the impeachment charge formally accuses Duterte, it does not automatically result in her removal from office. She will now face an impeachment trial in the Senate. Here’s a timeline of significant events that led to her impeachment. This story will be updated as the case...
Tulfo In Action
RAFFY TULFO'S SELECTIVE JUSTICE & WHY WE SHOULD NOT VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN Editorial: Tio Moreno Raffy Tulfo in Action built his brand on the idea of swift justice—publicly shaming ordinary Filipinos on national TV and online, often without giving them a fair chance to defend themselves. He has made a career out of exposing wrongdoings, playing the role of an enforcer who calls out abuses. But when the powerful, or even his own family, are involved, his so-called “justice” suddenly disappears. Recently, his own son was caught violating EDSA Busway rules, using the exclusive lane for public buses with a private vehicle. If it had been an ordinary motorist, Tulfo would have scolded them mercilessly, calling them reckless and selfish...

It's just Propaganda
SARA'S 'BUDGET-FOR-SIGNATURES' CLAIM DISMISSED AS PROPAGANDA — HOUSE SPOX House impeachment spokesperson Atty. Antonio Audie Bucoy on Tuesday dismissed Vice President Sara Duterte's claim that lawmakers signed the impeachment complaint against her without reading it and in exchange for budget allocations, calling it pure propaganda. "Unang-una, ito pong mga pumirma ng impeachment, ng Articles of Impeachment, ito po naman ay mga mambabatas eh. Hindi po ito pipirma ng hindi nila nauunawaan kung anong pinirmahan nila. Especially it is under oath. Pag under oath, that is under pain of perjury," Bucoy said. "Hindi naman nila siguro isusuong sarili nila sa ganoon. So palagay ko ay propaganda na lang 'yan." Duterte earlier alleged that most...
Bato on being fooled around by AI
BATO ON VIRAL VIDEO: 'I DON'T CARE IF IT'S AI OR MANOBO GENERATED' Sen. Bato Dela Rosa on Monday, June 16, defended his sharing of a viral video opposing the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte, saying the message matters more than its origin. "I don't care if this post is AI generated or Manobo generated because I am not after the messenger, I am after the message so, please don't shoot the messenger without reading the message that he delivers," Dela Rosa said. The video, originally posted by the Facebook page AY GRABE, features individuals appearing to be students who argue that the impeachment is politically motivated and urge a broader probe into all recipients of confidential funds, including politicians. It has since...
Kabataan Party list raped case
MANILA, Philippines — The alleged rape perpetrated by a member of the Kabataan party-list against a female colleague is already being investigated internally, party president Julius Cantiga said on Tuesday. Cantiga, in a statement posted on his Facebook page, said that the party-list has taken note of the reactions to the now-viral social media posts from the woman, whose name has been withheld, about enduring sexual abuse from an alleged Kabataan party-list official last April 15. “We saw and we sincerely acknowledge the tags and calls for accountability […] To all people alarmed and concerned about the post […], we understand your distress.

The Loser's interview
The president’s YouTube interview with Ka Tunying the other day showed Ferdinand Marcos Jr., as a businessman put it, “stunned, unable to understand what happened. I really didn't expect he would show such weakness, a call for friendship, a call to not fight; in effect he allowed (Navotas Rep.) Toby Tiangco to say the move to remove someone from office was wrong.” Indeed, Marcos’ statements in the interview reminded me of a fight in our school days when a bully challenged a smaller kid, but was immediately knocked down with a single punch. He got up without hesitation, extended his hand, and said “Let's be friends now.” The one who was picked on in this case is of course Vice President Sara Duterte, against whom Marcos threw everything...
FPRRD for the first time elected mayor from prison
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who is detained at The Hague over his drug war that killed thousands, has been elected mayor of his family's stronghold, according to early, partial results. Two of his most loyal aides - long-time assistant Christopher "Bong" Go and Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa, the one-time police chief in charge of enforcing his drug war - have been re-elected to the country's senate. The fate of Duterte's daughter, Vice-President Sara Duterte, remains in the balance as counting continues. Sara Duterte - who is widely expected to run for president in 2028 - is facing the prospect of a ban from politics should a jury made up of the country's senate vote to impeach her. It meant the midterms - which saw...
The ICC Prosecutor: Robed in Hypocricy
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague is currently facing a difficult situation. The Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, has temporarily stepped down from his position while the United Nations (UN) investigates accusations of sexual misconduct against him. This situation is a serious problem for the ICC because Khan has been closely involved in many important cases. One of these was the controversial investigation into the former President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, and his campaign against îllégâl drugs. This investigation was praised by some international observers but strongly opposed by Duterte's supporters. The accusations against Khan are that he pressured a female assistant into sexual acts and inappropriately...
COMELEC: NO GROUNDS TO HALT PROCLAMATION OF LEILA DE LIMA DESPITE CA RULING
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sees no reason to suspend the proclamation of Mamamayang Liberal (ML) party-list first nominee Leila de Lima despite the Court of Appeals' (CA) recent ruling involving one of her previously dismissed drug cases.COMELEC Chair George Garcia said on Friday, May 16, that the CA ruling does not amount to a final conviction and therefore has no bearing on the party-list's proclamation."Wala po tayong nakikitang kadahilanan upang ipahinto ang proklamasyon... sapagkat hindi naman po final conviction 'yon... At ang alam po natin bilang isang abogado, ang decision ng Court of Appeals ay subject sa motion for reconsideration. Kung hindi man, pepwede maitaas din sa Supreme Court," Garcia said at a press...
