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.

That a star lawyer is born means many: the Filipino people are watching; the Filipino people are learning law and jurisprudence,not to mention accountability. The Filipino people are forming informed opinions.

While Llamas and those who enable him might believe they can count followers and think themselves a success; I think what they need to realize is that this all reeks of Duterte. The bad jokes, the constant purportedly ironic laughter, the sarcasm, the informal male banter, the tenor of conversations that should really stay in locker rooms and man caves — all of these use the same playbook as Duterte himself, except that this time it's in English.
