    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Jul 17, 2023 11:30 AM

    The ‘best and brightest:’ Marcos Jr. version

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Jul 10, 2023 12:08 PM

    ICC public counsel shoots down PH appeal to stop probe on Duterte’s drug war

    By IVEL JOHN M. SANTOS  |  Apr 20, 2023 3:41 PM

    The government has suffered another setback in its effort to stop the investigation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on drug-related crimes during the Duterte administration as an office of public lawyers in the tribunal shot down all the arguments it presented.    In an April 18 submission, the Office of Public Counsel for Victims (OPCV) […]
