Former senator Antonio Trillanes IV disclosed in our meeting in Brussels this last weekend that even as the ICC,based in The Hague, has accepted Royina Garma as witness against former president Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity, The Netherlands has denied her request for asylum. The reason: The Netherlands’ policy of denying asylum for seekers who have committed documented crimes, especially those related to violations of human rights.
Lawmakers are not convinced that Garma has been telling all she knows about Duterte's drug war. The plot in the drug war drama is getting more interesting as the congressional probe moves closer to the exciting part.
Hitman: Bong Go is the bagman who gives the money to finance when there is a killing operation. If not to the other group of hit men, then to us. But he also has a personal group of hit men, like Titing, he has his own personal hit men.
Who would have thought that somebody who once led the Davao City police's anti-vice unit as well as its women and children's protection desk and served as an officer for the PNP-CIDG would now be embroiled in multiple murder cases, corruption and many other illicit activities?
Arturo Lascañas: Bong Go developed a very useful strategy for the killings. He was the first to use the personal information data of the targets that he had secured through an arrangement with the Land Transportation Office.
Arturo Lascañas, in an affidavit submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC), said Royina Garma was so deeply into the Davao Death Squad killings even before Duterte became president.
