Sara’s 16 lawyers + 18
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).

Na- 1-2-3
Fr. Flavie Villanueva: In the name of justice that was denied to thousands of families who lost their loved ones due to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s state policy of “kill, kill, kill”, I make this P123 mocking deposit. The “Na 1-2-3” deposit is also a call for vigilance: That’s also a “Na 1-2-3” ni Digong at Sara ang Bayan noon at hanggang ngayon!
