It is quite disgusting to see and hear the vice president either ranting against the government or trying to be cute with her remarks and body language to endear herself to her audience, speaking spontaneously, oftentimes blabbering, with empty rhetoric without offering doable solutions to problems.

In the event the three judges of pre-trial Chamber 1 will reject the interim release, the Dutertes have only themselves to blame. It is a very sick family of bullies and persecutors. They know no other game but power for themselves. At our expense. That is why unlike the people of Davao city, we see no end in the need to hold them accountable.

In 2015, GMA News reported that Sigfrid Fortun’s acceptance fee is P20 million per case. If that is true, we can already envisage the bottomless pit of money that the Dutertes have. Remember that for the ICC case of Rodrigo Duterte, the family is not being impoverished by Nicolas Kaufman’s legal fees of P2,590,960 per month (Eu40,000). They have asked the International Criminal Court to help them cover the legal fees of the Kaufman team’s five lawyers.
