Lovely netizens, let's dive into a 7-day poll! Who do you crown as the better Vice President of the Philippines? Cast your vote and don't forget to dish out your reasons. Let the opinions flow! 🗳️🇵🇭💭

So, Sebastian "Baste" Duterte decided to take the mic and drop a weak bomb that couldn't even rally 50 rabid DDS against Marcos -- the audacity to call out President Bongbong Marcos for a one-way ticket to Resignationville. 💥💼 But let's hit pause and dissect this spectacle, shall we? First things first, Baste. Oh, our dear Baste. 🤦‍♂️ He's got that classic Duterte flair, doesn't he? He speaks before he thinks, turns every sentence into a theatrical performance complete with expletives and enough emotional appeal to make your head spin. Listening to the Dutertes is like riding a rollercoaster—wild, unpredictable, and definitely not for the faint-hearted. 🙄 Now, about this call for resignation. Is it rooted in genuine concern for the people, or just another episode in the Duterte family drama series? 📺🍿 Without concrete reasons, it's like trying to navigate a maze blindfolded—confusing and likely to lead nowhere fast. But let's shift our gaze to Imee Marcos, the maven of political intrigue. 🎭🕵️‍♀️ What's her role in this political tango? Here are a few tantalizing possibilities why she's close and even defend the Dutertes: 🤔 1. She's feeling like the odd one out in the Marcos clan and she's eager to make her mark on the political stage away from her brother. ☕️ 2. She's eyeing that coveted presidency in the 2028 elections, so she's cozying up to Sara Duterte for some much-needed clout. 😺 3. She believes that loyalty runs deep, thanks to Duterte letting FM be buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani. This event cemented her allegiance to the Dutertes. 💐 4. Playing the long political game, she's strategically positioned herself as a Trojan horse, ready to make her move when the time is right. ♞ Now that Baste has thrown down the gauntlet, where does Imee go from here? The Loyalists might be giving her the side-eye, and with Baste shining the spotlight on her media antics, even some die-hard DDShits might be feeling a tad skeptical. 🤔 And let's not forget, she's still got that Marcos surname hanging over her head like a political cloud. So, sweeties, the burning question remains: Where in the world is Imee Marcos headed now? Are the Loyalists still rolling out the welcome mat, or is it time for a little political rebranding? Only time will tell in this dizzying game of political chess! ♟️🔥

So, word on the street is that there's an arrest warrant lurking ominously over the Dutertes' and Bato's heads. 😱🚨 Where did I get wind of this news? From none other than the China Parrot Propagandists, who never fail to deliver the hottest gossip straight to our screens. 🐦🎶 Their synchronized squawking about it only confirms they're reading from the same script, orchestrated by a mysterious maestro behind the scenes. 🎶😂 Now, let's dissect Digong's audacious plan to turn Mindanao into its own independent entity, separate from the rest of the Philippines. Talk about an interesting power move, right? 🌴📜 But here's where it gets interesting: breaking away won't grant immunity from the ICC, darlings. Picture this: even if Mindanao were to break free and cozy up to the ICC, or if the ICC decided to keep Mindanao on its radar thanks to its former status as part of the Philippines, we need to grasp one juicy tidbit: the ICC plays by its own rules, no matter the country. 🗺️⚖️ Sweeties, the ICC doesn't care about borders. It's like that mysterious neighbor who marches to the beat of their own drum, unbothered by the neighborhood gossip. Its reach spans far and wide, grabbing anyone accused of serious international crimes within its grasp, no matter where they hide. So, imagine this scenario: if President Duterte were to land himself in hot water for offenses falling under the ICC's watchful eye—think crimes against humanity or war crimes—and if the ICC still held Mindanao in its legal grip, then guess what? Yep, you guessed it! The ICC could come knocking, even if Duterte decided to play hide-and-seek in Mindanao. 🕵️‍♂️🚪 But amidst this whirlwind of intrigue, one burning question begs to be answered: does Duterte even want to hide? 🤫 He struts around boasting he's not afraid of the ICC, flaunting his defiance like a peacock. Yet, poor Sen. Bato dela Rosa's knees are already knocking in fear. 🦵😂 But wait, let's speculate further, my darlings. Could this warrant be a ploy to divert attention from other pressing issues? 🤔 Or perhaps it's a carefully orchestrated tactic to rally support from his loyal followers? 💭 Will there be a warrant soon, or is this just another act in the China Parrot Propagandists' drama series? Stay tuned, because this political soap opera is far from over! 🎬🔍 P.S. Currently buried under a mountain of tasks, so I'm steering clear of the political circus for now. But don't worry, i'll be back to spill more tea when time permits! 🩷

💣Conversations with Arturo Lascañas Part 3: ‘Polong was the mastermind in the smuggling of shabu in the Port of Davao’ verafiles.org/articles/conve… Alright, BBM supporters, Loyalists and fact-finding aficionados, it's time for a little tea spilling with a side of critical thinking! 🍵🔍 We all have our reservations about Vera Files, especially with their history of ruffling feathers in the Marcos nest. But let's be real - sometimes, they do hit the nail on the head with their exposés. 🎯 So here's the deal: When diving into their articles, don your detective hats and do some thorough cross-checking. It's all about verifying facts, not just swallowing stories. 🕵️‍♀️📚 Now, onto the juicy bit: their latest piece on Paolo Duterte's alleged involvement in the drug trade and smuggling. It's a sizzler, and it's got my attention! 📰🔥 Let's dissect this together. Drop your thoughts, insights, and fact-checks in the comments. Let's unravel this narrative, shall we? 🧐💬 ---------- If their father Rodrigo was into the drug trade, as Arturo Lascañas narrated in Part 1 of this interview series, could the Duterte children be far behind? Not exactly, Lascañas relates from the memory of his years of close association with Davao City’s ruling family. I interviewed Lascañas, a self-confessed former member of the Davao Death Squad, last Nov. 17 and 18 somewhere outside the Philippines. In this part of the interview, Lascañas exposed the involvement of Paolo ‘Polong’ Duterte, currently the representative of Davao City’s 1st district, in the illegal drugs trade. (VERA Files sent a letter on Jan. 16 to Duterte’s office at Batasan Pambansa to get his side of the story, and followed it up by calls and text messages. We have not received any response from him as of Jan. 19, 9 a.m.) Lascañas said Polong was “very close” to Michael Yang and Charlie Tan, two Chinese operators of the shabu laboratories in Davao City, as mentioned in Part 1 of this series. “Polong was the mastermind in the smuggling of shabu in the Port of Davao, and I was one of his conduits or front men, ” he said. 💣P50K for Bato Dela Rosa every week Lascañas said he was tasked to deliver money “to the Bureau of Customs, well, of course, to Polong, and to Bato Dela Rosa every week.” “Every week I delivered to Bato Dela Rosa P50,000… every week, when he was the city police director of Davao City, when he started the Operation Tokhang.” Bato Dela Rosa is incumbent Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa, chief of the Philippine National Police from July 1, 2016 to April 19, 2018, under Rodrigo Duterte’s presidency. When asked for his side on Lascañas’ claim, Dela Rosa said: “Naniwala naman kayo? Ang dali lang gumawa ng kwento. He is lying.” (And you believed him? It’s easy to concoct stories. He is lying.) I asked Lascañas how Paolo Duterte figured in the death squad killings. He gave very specific details about the involvement of the Duterte son. “I was even summoned by Paolo Duterte three times to kill people,” he said. There was a killing that took place in 2013 in Deca Homes, where three were killed including a woman. Paolo was said to have ordered it because of an argument with the target who had confronted him for being the arrogant son of the city mayor. Lascañas said: “I know it personally. He instructed me to kill these people, with Edgar Matobato. It was in Deca Homes near the house of Police Captain Ronald Lao, a part of the assassination team summoned by Paolo Duterte at that time.” I asked how three people were killed when Paolo was angry with only one of them. The other two, a woman and an old man, were simply collateral damage, he said. “There were many more collateral damages, buried at the Laud Quarry and at the Mandug mass grave.” Lascañas contends that there were three mass graves. A third one is in Maa, aside from the one in the Davao Gulf. Rumors have long circulated in Davao City that Paolo also controlled smuggling in the Davao ports. I asked Lascañas if he was in the position to confirm this. He had related Paolo’s drug connections in his affidavit. 💣Brothers in Freemasonry, brothers in smuggling “I was being used by Paolo Duterte as front in the smuggling of rice and the illegal drugs of Charlie Tan. That’s it. Our cashier in our group is named Mark Suico. He is a multibillionaire young man, cashier of Paolo Duterte.” Lascañas said they smuggled mostly rice, shabu, and sometimes sugar. The popular belief was Paolo Duterte was in the business of ukay-ukay (imported used clothing). “Mayor [Rodrigo] Duterte knows this because I told him about these activities of Paolo.” Lascañas described his relationship with Rodrigo Duterte as “more than brothers.” He could tell him about the illegal activities of his son. “Sometimes I can’t read [Rodrigo Duterte’s] reactions. Sometimes he would be angry. But when he lies, it is very easy to catch him because he was so relaxed, and then he would concoct another story to cover the truth; he wanted his mouth to be the source of the investigation. That’s why this is what happened with all the killings in Davao City. No policeman can investigate truthfully without the dictation of Mayor Duterte. No policeman can do it. He will give a bribe money to the police but disguise it as reward money,” Lascañas narrated. And then he gave a first-person (eyewitness) confirmation. “Polong Duterte had a drug triad tattoo. I saw it personally. I saw his very big tattoo, [a] dragon like his father[‘s].” “At that time, Polong entered the Freemasonry. When you enter the Freemasonry you are required to take your clothes off. So when I tasked Polong to take off his clothes, he refused. He said there was a triad tattoo on his back. I said, ‘I can take care of it, do not worry. I am the Worshipful Master of this lodge, Davao Lodge 149 of [the] Freemasonry.’ So Polong and I are brothers in Freemasonry, brothers in smuggling.” (On Nov. 11, 2020, Arturo Lascañas, signed the ICC’s Third Agreement on Limited Use of Information. The agreement gives Lascañas a degree of immunity that the ICC cannot prosecute him for having participated in the extrajudicial killings in Davao City under the Duterte family. That means Duterte himself or his alter egos cannot file a case in the ICC against Lascañas. It is a first in Philippine history for international criminal law.)

Oh, honey, really, comparing me to Jay Sonza is like comparing a haute couture gown to a potato sack - there's simply no contest! He's a paid hack, spinning tales for one million pesos, while I'm here serving you the piping hot truth, all for free! 💃💸 So, instead of playing the 'who's who' in the land of paid punditry, why not try to debunk my posts? Go on, roll up your sleeves and dive into the facts. I'll wait with my perfectly manicured nails tapping. ⏳💅

Oh, honeys, have you noticed? There's a gaping hole in Karambola's lineup. 🕵️‍♀️🎙️ And really, predicting a 30-day sore throat? That's like forecasting rain in the desert. ☔️ All I can say is that’s a lousy alibi. 🤣 #MysticMegMoment #KarambolaKulangNa #30DaysSoreThroat

But, darlings, can our Vice President Sara Duterte truly stand up for Philippine sovereignty? 🇵🇭 #WalktheTalk #LipService #Hypocrite

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

France Castro tried to serve Rodrigo Duterte a legal cocktail, but alas, the court played the ultimate party pooper and dismissed it. Cue the collective gasp! 😱👩‍⚖️ But let's give Castro a chic clap for her valiant effort in the high-stakes game of due process. She waltzed through the legal labyrinth like a true gladiator in stilettos. 👠⚔️ Now, let’s twirl our focus to Duterte's notorious war on drugs – an extravagant affair where due process was more absent than a diet coke at a grand buffet. 😬🍰 Thousands of people got killed without a single invite to the courtroom! And who’s RSVP'ing with a vengeance? None other than the ICC officials, darlings! They're tiptoeing in, armed with their little notebooks, ready to tango through the tales of those not-so-glitzy nights. 🕵️‍♂️📔 As the curtains rise on this saga, we're left nibbling on our nails, pondering: will the maestro of the bloody war on drugs face the music, or will it be just another cliffhanger in our nation's dramatic series? Stay tuned, my lovelies. The show's just getting started! 🍵🎬

@gurlbehindthisb Please explain, so we will be enlightened. 😂

@PolitiquePH You don't comprehend what MDS meant by dangerous...

Karen Davila: Who do you think is most dangerous to the country? Miriam: Duterte

Darlings, brace yourselves for today's juicy tidbit from the world of Philippine politics! 🍸👀 Miss Ex Press Secretary and a certain Tom Berenguer are singing from the same hymn sheet, claiming that silence equals admission. Let's break it down with a touch of Politique flair, shall we? 💅📚 In the grand court of law (particularly in civil cases) there's this nifty rule saying un-denied allegations are as good as admitted – but hold your horses, this is strictly for the legal eagles in their courtroom nests. 🦅⚖️ Now, apply this to the wild world of political chatter and public political commentary – like when Claire Eden Contreras a.k.a. Maharlika accused the president of snorting polvoron – and voilà, the rule suddenly becomes as shaky as a soufflé in a storm. 🌊☔️ Why? Because in politics, silence is just that, silence – nothing more, nothing less. It’s not a confession signed, sealed, and delivered. 🤫📜 Public figures, like our dear president, are bombarded with accusations from fake news peddlers like the Paid Parrot Propagandists faster than a beauty queen changes gowns. 💃 Does his tight-lipped stance mean they're owning up? Not when you’re just accusing online, honey. 🌐👑 The twist comes when these spicy allegations waltz into a courtroom. Like when the DDS Paid Parrot Propagandists and their principals file a case against the president (in your dreams!). That's where the rules of the game change, and silence might start singing a different tune, with legal implications waltzing right behind. 😂 Remember, it's all about the stage – the courtroom stage, to be precise. 🎭⚖️ Speaking of stages, let's not forget how our Miss Ex Press Secretary exited hers. Fired by the president and suspended by the Supreme Court, it seems her grasp of legal nuances wasn't quite as firm as her opinions. 🎤👀 So, while Miss Ex Press Secretary and Tom might think they've cracked the code, in the flamboyant fiesta of Philippine politics, it's not always what it seems: Just because someone isn't responding (because who are you that he will pay attention to you?), doesn't mean they’re playing the guilty tune. 🎶🤐 As always, stay sassy, stay smart, and remember – in the high-stakes poker game of politics, not every hand played in silence is a losing one. 💃♠️ #SilenceIsGolden #LegalEagleOrPoliticalPeacock #MissExPressSecretaryBoomerang #ZoraydaBoomerang

Hello, my lovelies! Guess who's back in the digital realm? It's none other than Tio Moreno/Alex Destor alive and kicking through his Facebook Page, All Write! 🎉👀 Welcome back to the social media circus, Tio! 😂

Let’s talk about the ghost video that's become the talk of the town, yet remains as elusive as a unicorn in Manila traffic. Yes, darlings, the polvoron video that apparently no one, not even Claire Eden Contreras a.k.a. Maharlika Boldyakera has laid eyes on. 👻📹 It's like a mythical creature that everyone talks about but no one has actually seen. Maybe it's hiding with the Loch Ness Monster or playing poker with Bigfoot? 🐉🃏 These DDS propagandists seem to be weaving tales more tangled than a bowl of pancit. They're so good at peddling fake news that even Facebook had to show them the exit door.🚪👋 No wonder they've been deplatformed! In the world of social media, facts are the currency, and it looks like their bank just went bankrupt. 💸🏦 Remember, lovelies, in the age of information, be a detective, not a gossip monger. Keep your eyes open for facts, not fiction. And always, always wait for the polvoron to crumble before believing in a dessert you've never tasted. 🕵️‍♀️🍪 Stay sharp, stay fabulous, and keep your fake news radar on high alert! 🌟📡 #PolvoronPhantom #DDSDebunked #FactCheckFirst
