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."
