Sa gitna ng tumitinding galit ng taumbayan dahil sa kaliwa't kanang isyu sa korapsyon at pulitika sa administrasyon ni Pangulo Ferdinand Marcos Jr., sapat ba ang tila pagbabagong-anyo ng pangulo upang matupad ang kaniyang ipinangakong Bagong Pilipinas?
Ngayong tila sukdulan na ang galit ng taumbayan sa mga pagkukulang ng kasalukuyang administrasyon sa pagtugon sa mga pangakong mapaunlad ang buhay, saan patungo ang mga plano ni Pangulo Ferdinand Marcos Jr.?
The former president is indeed in "troubling conditions," not because of what his children are protesting about, but because of the special treatment accorded him, such as the frequent visits by family members, the comforts at the Scheveningen penitentiary and the legal processes on the charges against him, things the thousands of suspected drug users killed under his brutal drug war never had.
Mr. president, the people are watching with eagle eyes and eagerly waiting for more decisive actions from your end.
“Let’s collaborate on a jailbreak,” Sara Duterte preached to her audience of her family’s Duterte Diehard Supporters in an interview she gave outside Scheveningen Prison in The Hague to the DDS vlogger Alvin Dave Sarzate.

When the Independent Commission for Infrastructure, created on Sept. 11 under Executive Order 94, conducts its own probe, how will it untangle the complex web of untruths and distortion of facts by personalities perceived to have benefited from the anomalous deals?
At the very least, this might be worth considering: that for six years under his leadership, from 2016 to 2022, we all actually had a President who had “significant cognitive deficiencies” with a “limited capacity for complex reasoning.” This makes it Duterte’s default. This is Duterte’s normal. And if he was fit enough to be President, then he is fit enough to stand trial.
Magalong is selective. At his worst, he is not a truth-seeker because of his bias for Duterte and his tendency to obstruct justice for the crimes of Duterte.
Bersamin's statement rebuking the House over a plan that had been shelved appears to be unnecessary, unless the Palace wants to send a message to Romualdez to "moderate [their] greed."
Kontratista and kongresista.Their appellations rhyme. And it should. Both share a commonality – they dip their fingers into funds that do not belong to them. In the process, both enrich themselves with the perks of the ultra rich, at taxpayers’ expense. Both are thieves.
