Tanim EJK Victim?
TANIM 'EJK' NA MGA BIKTIMA? Viral ngayon sa social media ang mga posts ng mga netizens na diumano'y nagbukas tungkol sa mga 'peke' na mga biktima ng alegasyong extra judicial killings o EJKs sa ilalim ng administrasyon ni dating Pangulo Rodrigo Duterte. Ayon pa sa mga posts, ang mga larawan ay ginamit bilang bahagi ng propaganda. Una nang lumabas ang kwento ni "Aling Sheila" na binulgar ng kanyang mga kapitbahay matapos magharap bilang ina ng isang EJK victim sa media, ngunit ang totoo pala, siya ay namatay noong nakaraang taon dahil sa alegasyong may kinalaman sa laban kontra droga. Samantala, kamakailan lang, isang larawan ng isa pang EJK victim ang ipinakalat ng mga anti-FPRRD sa Netherlands, ngunit nakita ng kapatid ng nasawi na...
Very Perfectly Legal
DIWATA: Kapag pinara ka ng puliz sa kalsada, pwedeng hindi mo dala ang lizenzya mo… Pwede! Sasabihin lang ng puliz sa’yo… PULIZ: Hoy, may violation ka! Patingin ng lizenzya mo. MOTORISTA: Hindi ko dala! PULIZ: Nandiyan dapat sa’yo! MOTORISTA: Ay wala dito, nasa bahay! Tara! DIWATA: That’s perfectly legal! #satire #parody
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.
The Marcos name was cursed - Until Duterte gave them a chance.
For years, Filipinos spat at the sound of it. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝘀. A name that carried the weight of stolen wealth, torture chambers, and a nation stripped to its bones. We grew up hearing stories—𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀, 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿’𝘀 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗸. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱. Ferdinand Marcos Sr. wasn’t just a man. He was a wound in the soul of this country. A man who built an empire on the suffering of his own people. A leader who became a monster. And so, the people cursed his name. For decades, his family lived in exile, despised, rejected. No redemption. No forgiveness. But then came 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲. Duterte—a man loved by the masses, a man who could have...
When a somebody is really a nobody at The Hague.
Former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea has been giving statements at The Hague for anyone who would care to listen that he’s being given the runaround on the whereabouts of Former President Duterte. A lawyer, he’s directly accusing the ICC of a grand conspiracy, that the ICC is deliberately whisking Duterte around like a rag doll and treating him badly. One, if there’s a specific law in the Netherlands that punishes anyone who undermines the ICC through public statements, I hope they bring down the hammer on Medialdea while he’s there. Two, the former executive secretary might be forgetting that he’s a nobody in The Hague. He’s just some random Asian guy asking questions about Duterte. He is not even an immediate family member...
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...
Hello to all our Social Justice Warriors and Human Rights Activists, like, you know:
If the world was like, super perfect, like, totally utopian, then maybe your "due process" thingy would be, like, effective and could probably solve the war on drugs issue, right? But hellooo, we don't live in that kind of world—like, so far from it—and honestly, I'm thinking it's never gonna happen. Not that we should totally give up on hoping, but we have to be, like, realistic, especially when it comes to power, you know? Think about the inherent flaws of the people implementing this due process (except for the human rights activists, obvi). It's so evident how their shortcomings contributed to why there even is a war on drugs, 'cause, like, our system has been failing for so long, duh. The media, oh my gosh, they really played...
GoodNight.
Post ko lang to dito.... For those who don't understand, why the "sub-saharan" comment became a meme and why it triggered most of the people from the South. (Im apolitical, and I think of our politics as GRAY, not black and white. Im not siding with anyone here. This is just an observation so people would understand.) Aside from the whole 'War on Drugs' fiasco (im not going to talk about this), Duterte won the 2016 elections because of the proposal of Federalism, the thought of going against 'Imperial Manila'. Federalism, although not implemented, would give autonomy to each region, which means that we dont have to wait for the capital's consent. The Philippines would be decentralized and regions would enjoy their own policies...
Petition to Reject ICC Jurisdiction Over Former President Rodrigo Duterte
To: The International Criminal Court (ICC), and Concerned Authorities We, the undersigned, stand in firm support of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte and his administration’s resolute efforts to combat îllégâl drugs and criminality in the Philippines. As responsible citizens who have witnessed the positive changes in our communities during his tenure, we believe that the accusations against him by the ICC are politically motivated and fail to recognize the realities of the Philippines’ fight against drugs and crime. Under Duterte’s leadership, the nation saw a significant reduction in drug-related crimes, making our streets safer and restoring peace and order to many communities that had long suffered from the violence associated...
The Late Lee Kuan Yew's Speech at the Philippine Business Conference
Highlights: "I do not believe that democracy necessarily leads to development. I believe that what a country needs to develop is discipline more than democracy. The exuberance of democracy leads to undisciplined and disorderly conditions which are inimical to development. The ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps that society to establish conditions which improve the standard of living for the majority of its people plus enabling the maximum of personal freedoms compatible with the freedoms of others in society." "Politicians revelled in democracy, and its freedoms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and for those in office, the freedom to wheel and deal. It was politics enjoyed for its own sake...
Kawat Na Naman.
Hello Lucy, este Lucas! Do you know if this is true? Last year ang calamity. Nakabangon na ang karamihan. Pero ngayon nag release ng "EMERGENCY" cash transfer? WOW naman talaga! That is 2B+ PHP mga kababayan. Pera na naman natin na pang emergency daw sa lugar na wala nang kalamidad. Ginawa ito during ELECTION season.

Fakenews Peddler.
Claire Castro is LYING. Her statement has ABSOLUTELY NO BASIS IN THE ICC STATUTE. Dutch courts have absolutely no role in ICC proceedings, unless it is their own citizen that's involved or a resident or someone arrested in the Netherlands. The only courts involved are Philippine Courts (which would determine proper service of warrant and give the right to the suspect to apply for interim release) and the ICC.
Unfriending Someone in Facebook because of the difference in Political Views
May mga relatives at co-workers ako na lantaran na sinasabi sa akin yung count ng mga naunfriend nila sa FB dahil nagshishare ng anti-duterte na jokes or memes. Sa isip ko, sobrang pathetic at immature naman nila. Siguro yung buong personality nila nakabase lang kay Duterte. Ang problema talaga sa Pilipinas ay hindi si Duterte or si Marcos, or kahit sinong presidenteng tatakbo kundi yung mga uto-utong followers talaga. Same lang din sa mga Kristyano at Muslim. Wala akong problema kay Hesukristo at Allah, mukhang mabait naman si Kristo base sa kwento ng buhay niya sa bible. Yung problema talaga ay yung mga followers nila na sobrang fanatic. Payapa siguro ang mundo kung walang mga obsessed na fanatic ng mga politicians, celebrities at...
