@IanEsguerra@iamdinodeleon Not only GenZ & Millennials but the Filipinos will make sure the likes of Chiz Escudero, Tol Tolentino, Imee Marcos, Robin & Jinggoy Estrada will never win in a national election. They dont serve the interests of the people, and they are more of a liability to Filipinos.
7,000-STRONG FORCE TO ARREST DUTERTE – REPORT
The Philippine National Police (PNP) has been placed on heightened alert following reports that the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) has issued a red notice for the arrest of former president Rodrigo Duterte, according to a Manila Times report citing an anonymous high-level source.
At least 7,000 police personnel are reportedly being mobilized to track down and apprehend Duterte, who is under investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity linked to his administration’s war on drugs. Security forces are also securing major entry points across the country, including airports and seaports, in preparation for his return.
Duterte flew to Hong Kong last Friday with his common-law wife, Honeylet Avanceña, his daughter Kitty, and a group of former top security officials. His trip has fueled speculation that he may be evading arrest or seeking refuge in China. However, his former chief legal counsel, Salvador Panelo, denied this, insisting that Duterte traveled to attend an overseas Filipino workers (OFW) gathering in Wan Chai.
During the event, Duterte addressed the crowd, dismissing concerns over the ICC investigation and joking about his legacy. "If this is my fate, I’ll accept it," he said, reiterating his stance that he would not cooperate with the ICC.
While Malacañang said the government is "prepared for any eventuality," it clarified that there is no official confirmation of an ICC arrest warrant. Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Jay Ruiz stated that the administration would comply with any lawful requests from Interpol.
The Bureau of Immigration also confirmed that Duterte is not currently subject to a hold departure order, meaning he can freely travel.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the ICC proceedings, the Marcos administration remains cautious in its approach, reiterating its previous stance of non-cooperation with the international court. However, if the ICC formally requests Duterte's custody, it remains to be seen how the government will respond.
Duterte is the only individual named in the reported red notice, raising questions about why other key figures from his drug war—such as former PNP chief and now Sen. Bato Dela Rosa—were not included. Legal experts suggest the ICC may be issuing notices in stages.
“Big talker” is what the name evokes,
to Italian ears.
It’s not just the name, but his Italian background and Middle East resume will make him a figure of curiosity and a candidate in a conclave.
With the eminent death of Pope Francis at any moment, we still have a #SparePope living in exile. Pope Hitler I (aka Benedict) is in a vegetative state (I think he's a 'broccolini') at Castle Gandolfo.
Can Vice President Sara Duterte potentially be charged under the Philippine Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 (Republic Act No. 11479)?
If so, the situation would indeed carry a significant irony.
This controversial law, signed on July 3, 2020, by her father, then-President Rodrigo Duterte, replaced the Human Security Act of 2007 and expanded government powers to address terrorism. One provision allows individuals to be declared terrorists if their actions are intended to cause death, harm, or destruction to provoke terror, destabilize public order, or intimidate the government. Critics have long raised concerns about the law’s broad definitions, warning that it could lead to misuse or overreach.
The irony lies in the possibility of applying this law to someone in a high position of power, particularly given its contentious history and association with curbing dissent. If actions by any public figure—whether directly or indirectly—meet the criteria under this definition, it could raise significant questions about accountability and the law’s application. This highlights how the expansive scope of such a law could, theoretically, ensnare even its proponents or their allies.
Critics of the law, who previously rallied against its potential for abuse, may now see their warnings come full circle. This situation would underscore their concerns about vague definitions and the risk of undermining legal and democratic safeguards.
Be careful what you wish for.
@SuziDoctolero TBH, katurnoff political views mo, lalo na kung DDS ka. Kung hindi ko lang naumpisahan ang Pulang Araw, di ko papanuorin dahil sa DDS na scriptwriter.
