Garma qualifies as ICC witness vs Duterte
Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV disclosed in our meeting in Brussels this last weekend that even as the ICC,based in The Hague, has accepted Royina Garma as witness against former president Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity, The Netherlands has denied her request for asylum.

Senator-judges in the ‘Napolist’
In 2016, COA bared another list after investigating pork barrel funds allocated from 2007 to 2009 using the same modus operandi of channeling to fake NGOs. Among the legislators involved were Sen. Joel Villanueva and Rodante Marcoleta who by 2016 was representing SAGIP party list.
