Marvic Leonen. An activist jurist before. An ambiguous jurist today. What happened in between? A calculated ambition for the post of Chief Justice?
Ombudsman Samuel Martires was not untainted to fulfill that constitutional role. Many are ecstatic that he will finally retire in about five days from now. Well, hold your horses. rappler.com/voices/thought…
It did not start on a skin-and-bones and cremation note. It started with a division of spoils by his mistresses. They were the ones who feared a Rodrigo Duterte death. [The Slingshot] The marcha funebre that wasn’t meant to be share.google/Jt4Ba4YfFs57hb…
Do you know what people have been saying of your Senate? That you are hoodlums in robes. verafiles.org/articles/witch…
The bloody war on drugs was hatched in that “humble home” of Duterte in Davao city. verafiles.org/articles/the-d…
Goodbye, Ronald Cardema. Before you go, please return all the pork barrel your fake party list received since 2019, the year the Comelec says you were void ab initio. Note for you: void ab initio is a legal term that means your partylist was invalid from the beginning.
The DDS premise was, congressmen who grilled Sara Duterte lost their reelections. Well, sorry Yorme. Sorry Inday. Welcome back Abante. abs-cbn.com/news/nation/20…
In the parlance of the ICC on crimes against humanity, Sara can be charged with enforced disappearances — the concealment of victims’ whereabouts to hide the fact that they were actually killed. rappler.com/voices/thought…
There was a cabal of conspirators who planned that night’s sinister moves as though they were not senator-judges. The plan involved dismissing the case – something not part of what the 1987 Constitution prescribes the Senate to do. verafiles.org/articles/the-s…
Kaufman omits one factor, either by omission or commission that makes Duterte a dangerous flight risk. Money. rappler.com/voices/thought…
Schedules of Protest Venue: Senate (Not Edsa)
Bong Go is now ensured of his political heir – his son. Christian Lawrence “Chrence” Go is now the new vice mayor of Lupon town in Davao Oriental province. verafiles.org/articles/why-d…
The gist of any impeachment trial will be the evidence. It will awe the public. It will stimulate them to make judgments. More significantly, the evidence will form their minds. They will judge the judges. rappler.com/voices/thought…
For instance, the very antiseptic and soundless Grace Poe is now a dynast. Using a Senate press release paid for by taxpayers, she announced in October 2024 that her son Brian Poe Llamanzares’s “time has come.” rappler.com/voices/thought…
When will we admit that our vote buying is tainting our integrity as a people? In one Mindanao city I know of, the price per voter had gone up to P15,000. rappler.com/voices/thought…
