Explainer Of The Articles Of Impeachment Against Sara Duterte
The House of Representatives on Thursday posted an "explainer" of the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte on its official Facebook page. The 4th impeachment complaint signed by 215 members of the House of Representatives and transmitted to the Senate contains seven Articles of Impeachment. The grounds mentioned were culpable violation of the Constitution, flagrant betrayal of public trust, graft and corruption, and other high crimes. Earlier this month, Duterte gave an apparent dig to members of the House of Representatives over her impeachment. "Mas masakit pa maiwan ng boyfriend o girlfriend kaysa ma-impeach ka ng House of Representatives," Duterte said a week before valentine's day. She also said that she...

The Prevention of Adolescent *******cy Act: A Deep Dive into the Debate
The Philippines is grappling with a significant issue: a high rate of teenage *******cies. In response, legislators have proposed the "Prevention of Adolescent *******cy Act," also known as Senate Bill No. 1979 (SB 1979), and a subsequent substitute bill, aiming to tackle this complex problem through comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) and related measures. However, the bill has sparked intense debate, with strong opinions on both sides. This post dives into the details of the bill, the controversies surrounding it, and the efforts to reconcile differing viewpoints. The Core Problem: Why is the Bill Needed? High Rates of Teenage *******cy: The Philippines faces a concerning rate of adolescent *******cies, with almost four out...
The legal options for Trump to acquire Greenland
Acquiring Greenland would now appear to be a foreign policy priority for the incoming Trump administration. Reviving his 2019 proposal for a US takeover of the territory, an idea thought to have been shelved following his 2020 election loss, Trump last week made his ambition for Greenland plain. Greenland is part of Denmark and a territory within the Danish realm. Despite doubts that have been cast over Copenhagen’s sovereignty, in 1933 an International Court ruled in favour of Denmark in a dispute with Norway over title to the world’s largest island. That ruling has been continually accepted in the years since and there are no competing claims by other Arctic states, including the United States. There is an American military base in...
Too Vague
In the upcoming election year of 2028, Sebastian Duterte has made a bold statement, hinting at potential actions against the Marcos stronghold in Northern Luzon. His reference to the devastation seen in Marawi at the hands of his father raises serious concerns about the potential consequences should the Marcos family reclaim power. The reasoning behind this threat appears to be unfounded allegations of drug and communist ties in Ilocos. As the people prepare for the future, they must carefully consider the implications of their choices in the upcoming election.
Will VP's impeachment case succeed in the Senate?
A little over halfway through her term, Vice President Sara Duterte is facing an impeachment complaint stemming from allegations of fund misuse, threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., and failure to condemn Chinese aggression in the West Philippine Sea, among other issues. Although Marcos instructed his allies in Congress not to file any impeachment complaint against the Vice President, House leaders had said that they cannot stop any efforts by individuals or groups seeking to oust Duterte. The first impeachment complaint, filed by civil society groups on Monday, December 2, comes amid growing political tensions between Marcos and Duterte, who ran together on a platform of unity in 2022. Duterte’s departure from the Marcos...
Dutertes conducting loyalty check?
The present tension between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte may be part of a strategic move by the Dutertes to conduct a “loyalty check” on their supporters and followers, according to political analysts. Assistant professor Froilan C. Calilung, PhD, from the University of Santo Tomas’ Department of Political Science, suggested that through their public statements and actions against the administration, the Dutertes could be gauging the level of support they still command within political circles. “They are trying to see if they still have that popular backing of the people or the masses, because if you have that, you know that you have support,” Calilung said. “They are trying to test how far the...
All Roads to Davao
Alice Guo’s paternal origin is from Fujian, China. Cassy Ong’s maternal origin is from Fujian, China. There are many business owners and entities in the Philippines originating from Fujian, China. In 2020, Chinese products were found being sold at the Chinatown District in Binondo, Manila bearing the ticket “Manila Province, People’s Republic of China” as its manufacturing address, prompting angry reactions from Filipinos and local officials. Back in 2018, red banners that declared “Philippines, Province of China” sprung up across the Philippine capital, infuriating many local people. In 2018, Davao entered into a pact as Sister Cities with Xinjiang City, Province of Fujian. Davao City and Fujian carries direct airline flights...
Maluwag ang oras
NURSE, GISING NA PO SIYA: SARA ACCUSES ROMUALDEZ OF ALLEGED THREAT IN FIERY REMARKS Vice President Sara Duterte accused House Speaker Martin Romualdez of harboring intentions to harm her. "Isa lang naman ang gustong pumatay sa akin — si Martin Romualdez. And I don't think gagawin niya 'yan dito sa loob ng House of Representatives. Gagawin niya 'yan doon sa labas," Duterte alleged during a press briefing on Friday, November 22. She further criticized Romualdez's character, referencing their shared experiences during the 2022 campaign, where Romualdez served as Duterte's campaign manager. "Because I know him, 'di ba? From the short time na nagkasama kami, I'm a good judge of character. Mabilis ako maka-assess ng isang tao. Nagkasama...
Structure of Plunder
Considering how truly infantile Sara's mentality is, we wouldn't be surprised if putting the name 'Mary Grace Piattos' in one of those fake acknowledgement receipts is really her idea from the get go. She must have really thought this was genuinely funny, so she instructs her staff to go ahead and use it and affix a fake signature on top of it for good measure. Nobody would give a **** anyway, since these were confidential funds they were liquidating, and the COA unit they are submitting these to are in their payroll. And besides, she and the President were still looking good during the time these liquidations were being prepared so what's the problem? These ****ing liquidations are a big inconvenience, Sara must have thought. Truth...
Congress' anti-Duterte investigations backfire
The US-backed Marcos administration's plot to demonize former president Rodrigo Duterte by regurgitating allegations that there were widespread extrajudicial killings (EJK) in his war against îllégâl drugs six years ago has totally backfired. The hearing last week by the Senate — which has again proven to be independent of the incumbent administration as it should be, in contrast to the shameless servility of the House of Representatives — reminded Filipinos that in contrast to the incumbent, Duterte was a strong, true leader, willing to take risks to wage an uncompromising stand against the drug lords, who could have made the country worse than several Latin American nations as a narco-state. Social media — now the equivalent of the...
My take on Rodrigo Duterte
Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III disclosed last week that former president Rodrigo Duterte was not sure to attend a Senate blue ribbon subcommittee hearing on the previous administration's antidrug campaign scheduled for Monday, Oct. 28, 2024. Yet, lo and behold, the 79-year-old statesman made a surprise appearance during the probe. Rodrigo has made unpredictability an indelible trademark. I can only speculate why he has purposely made himself unpredictable. I suspect this has to do with his experience as longtime mayor of Davao City. Historian Reynaldo Ileto has convincingly explained in his book, "Knowledge and Pacification," that a small-town mayor operates under a situation where powerful forces abound, putting them...
Change Script
As we all know St.Digong firmly accused BBM that he is a drug accidt and he is included in the narco list even without presenting such hard evidence. And several months pass St.Digong admittedly that BBM name is not included in the narcos list, and if he saw it before, he will force to lie in public to protect narcos. Now tell me, can you still believe on what he say? Ir is that an another joke from his dirty mouth? https://x.com/CheekyLady1027/status/1851621789883056619?t=TC7VoUabYUi2A4C81gCNIQ&s=09
Definition of Conflict of Interest
Individuals such as lawyers, attorneys, or senators cannot ethically lead or participate in an investigation in which they are implicated. This principle is rooted in the concept of conflict of interest and the need for impartiality in legal and legislative processes. For example, a senator facing accusations may invoke their right against self-incrimination during inquiries, as seen in various cases where individuals refused to answer questions related to their involvement in alleged crimes. Furthermore, legislative inquiries must respect due process and cannot serve as a means of prosecution.
Stage set for battle of the dynasties as Digong eyes return to politics in PH
Former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte, 79, returned to politics this week when he registered to run as mayor in his family’s stronghold, Davao city. It leaves little doubt: two of the country’s most powerful political families, the Dutertes and the Marcoses, are set for an epic struggle for power. For the Dutertes, it could prove a battle for their survival. Rodrigo Duterte is facing an investigation by the international criminal court for crimes against humanity over his brutal war on drugs, and the family needs political clout and powerful friends. For Marcos Jr, son and namesake of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr, midterm elections next year will be crucial to cementing his legacy before he reaches the end of his single...
How to Divert Attention
How the Dutertes are trying to divert your attention There’s a reason why the senators are scared to call out the Dutertes and their allies — because when they do, they will be subject to below the belt, unsubstantiated and relentless online attacks. Because there’s no way to defend the Dutertes in all the issues they’re involved with, just like and how they always do… they are now exerting all the efforts to divert our attention elsewhere. I’m convinced that all these, including meeting with a known political rival, former Vice President Leni Robredo, is just a way for us to stop talking about the issues involving VP Sara, her family and their allies. I have to hand it to the Vice President, she successfully made the news and...
