Despite a Duterte destab strategy that is now clearly built to oust Marcos and install Duterte, the reality was that the INC was not going to have any of it. And so there they were, the Duterte loyalists, standing in the midst of the crowd in Luneta, silenced by the INC leadership. It was a sight to behold.

While Marcos appears sincere in getting to the bottom of the trillion-peso flood control scandal, his part in approving the questionable insertions in the budget and the release of funds for projects that turned out to be inexistent cannot be ignored. Perhaps the time is ripe for the president to acknowledge negligence and be forthright in admitting his faults.

Hindi agad huminto ang patayan dahil lamang sa nagpalit ang administrasyon. Maaaring lingid sa kaalaman ni Cardinal David, pero ang pagtangan at pagsulong niya sa impormasyong ito ay pagpasakop sa bisa ng “bloodless” drug war propaganda ng administrasyong Marcos. Bagay na paulit-ulit na tinunggali, pinabulaanan, at tahasang nilantad na mali ng Dahas Project ng UP Third World Studies Center. Binubura ng “bloodless” drug war na propaganda ng administrasyong Marcos ang mismong mga pagpatay na gustong mabigyang-linaw at katarungan ng Cardinal.
