‘Witch-hunt’ defines Migz Zubiri
Juan Miguel Zubiri, senator of the land, is done with his work as judge in the impeachment trial of Sara Duterte. Even before the trial has begun, he has already rendered a verdict. And his verdict is acquittal. He has violated his oath of office.
What is the joint BPI account between Rodrigo and Sara that they don’t want investigated?
So we ask. We read. We remember. Because this isn’t just about a joint bank account—it’s about what kind of country we’re willing to fight for. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
The Duterte house for sale: Witness to the planning of a crime
Our association of the Duterte house in Doña Luisa subdivision is far from rosy. The self-confessed Davao Death Squad assassin, Arturo Lascañas, said it was in that house that the assassination of Leila de Lima, then the chair of the Human Rights Commission was planned by then Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte while cooking sausages.

The Senate of coach Joel
Joel Villanueva is not just a coach of Imee Marcos. He has become your typical politico who has a characteristic aversion to accountability. In November 2016, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales issued an order to dismiss Villanueva from public office for alleged misuse of P10M in PDAF. The Ombudsman concluded that the disbursements were coursed through a dubious NGO for a livelihood activity that turned out to be a ghost project.
Na- 1-2-3
Fr. Flavie Villanueva: In the name of justice that was denied to thousands of families who lost their loved ones due to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s state policy of “kill, kill, kill”, I make this P123 mocking deposit. The “Na 1-2-3” deposit is also a call for vigilance: That’s also a “Na 1-2-3” ni Digong at Sara ang Bayan noon at hanggang ngayon!

The Dutertes are marshalling all their forces to block the impeachment trial. Their battle strategy is not to gather enough votes to block the conviction of the vice president but to PREVENT the convening of the impeachment court and the holding of the trial.
