The unbreakable shield of John Mark Calilung
COMMENTARY:The Sara defense team was on a rampage to destroy John Mark S. Calilung, Investigation Agent III of the National Bureau of Investigation… But why must Calilung's testimony be destroyed? It is not only because it is an expert testimony. If it stands the test of truth, it has the potential of opening the floodgates to a Sara Duterte conviction.
School killings were rampant under Duterte
Propagandists thought it was easy to exploit the Tacloban City shooting and say there was ZERO school shootings under Duterte. FALSE.Duterte himself set the example when he shot his law classmate Octavio Goco. He never went to jail for it. That's the real impunity, not the Juvenile Justice Law. But if it's Tatay who says it, applause.
Public office reduced as social stigma
Kapit-tuko is a term notoriously used in Tagalog culture. To “hold on like a gecko” carries a social stigma of being overly clingy out of despair, in the process manipulating things just to hold on to a person or position.
Who is the NPA enabler (daw)?
At the very least, the red tag of Risa Hontiveros is insane. There never has been any judicial or official evidence that connects Hontiveros with the CPP or the NPA. Those who study the phenomenon of political spectra in fact see her as consistently aligned with center right and administration policies rather than the political left.

Two Moro miners were first abducted, then brought to Laud Quarry in Davao City as Dela Rosa had ordered. His order was to immediately “neutralize” them without the benefit of tactical interrogation.I only have one question to ask readers: would you give the fugitive Bato dela Rosa the benefit of due process now that his warrant of arrest is out?
Have we forgotten? The Dutertes can kill
Duterte had no single deterrence to kill if he wanted to. He ordered the Davao Death Squad to kill Fr. Lamata. The children have acquired the killing psyche of the father. Sara Duterte’s explosive tantrum to kill the Marcos Jr. couple is signature Duterte – there is no such thing as deterrence to them.
The Dutertes are not corrupt. Says who?
One development thwarts the Duterte pattern (of non-accountability). The Commission on Audit has now obligated her to return 73,287,000 of her confidential funds. There is only one meaning to that: fund misuse.
The kunwari war: Duterte family’s private army
In DDS hitman Edgar Matobato’s testimony submitted to the ICC, he narrated a killing at Deca Homes: So Paolo called us, Major Lao, Major Francia to go to Deca Homes. We entered the home of the victim. Paolo ordered us to kill them.
