Iglesia becoming politically active for wrong reasons, not to defend truth, justice, or the dignity of every human person, but to protect power, personalities, or partisan interests.

Tapos lakas niyong sabihin na mas tama ang doctrina at totoong simbahan kayo? Ayaw niyo nga sa rebulto, pero taga-samba naman kayo ng mga politiko.

The Supreme Court handed down a one-year suspension to Atty. @jesusfalcis.

His offense? A 2018 tweet where he fiercely defended his brother by using vulgar language (“Paky* kayo mga g*ga”!).

The High Court ruled it as simple misconduct and declared that the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) strictly mandates lawyers to maintain dignified language, even on personal social media accounts.

Okay, if the baseline for "dignity of the profession" is THAT strict, how on earth is Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also a lawyer, still holding onto her law license?

If we are talking about actual violations, her verbatim, public receipts are entirely unhinged.

Let us enumerate some:

1. Sara Duterte didn't just casually throw bad words around.

In her streamed press briefings, she completely abandoned any shred of professional decorum and screamed on live broadcast:

“P*tang ina mo BBM! P*tang ina mo Liza! P*tang ina mo Martin! P*tang ina ninyong lahat!”

“Binastos pa nila sa pagsisinungaling nila na kesyo taksil, kesyo corrupt, abusado. P*tang ina ninyo, sino ang corrupt?”

2. Let's NEVER forget when she was a city mayor and an active member of the bar.

Instead of upholding the law, she literally used a court sheriff as a human punching bag!

She grabbed him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head on camera just for executing a lawful court order.

Kagalang-galang yarn?

3. She openly admitted on live television to hiring an assassin to target the country's top leaders if a supposed plot against her succeeded:

“I’ve talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, don’t stop until you k*ll BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke."

4. She casually bragged during a press conference about threatening to desecrate a former president's remains:

“Isang beses, sinabihan ko talaga si Sen. Imee. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hindi kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko 'yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea!”

5. She publicly detailed her thoughts of extreme physical violence against the sitting president:

“I wanted to remove his head. I realized the relationship was already toxic... [I] just imagine myself cutting his head."

An ordinary attorney gets a one-year suspension for typing profanities on Twitter to protect his sibling.

Meanwhile, a high-profile lawyer and the sitting Vice President can publicly brag about hitmen, look at a camera to detail cutting off the President's head, threaten to dig up a former president’s corpse, physically assault a court sheriff, and scream “p*tang ina ninyong lahat" on live broadcast with zero professional consequences!

Hello, IBP? Ano na?

The CPRA allows you to initiate disbarment proceedings motu proprio when a lawyer's misconduct is THIS flagrant and very public!

The rules apparently apply to everyone except her.

Time to strip her of that license!

WHEN SURVIVAL IS PUNISHED AND POWER IS SHELTERED

An elderly harmonica busker was jailed for a week after being arrested under an anti-mendicancy ordinance, saying he was only trying to earn money to feed his grandchild. He has since been released.

At the same time, Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa has faced scrutiny after taking refuge and later leaving the Senate amid an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, raising renewed questions on how the justice system treats the poor versus the powerful.

[Teddy Casiño @teddycasino]

Let’s be factual. There IS a warrant of arrest for Bato de la Rosa. It’s from the International Criminal Court (ICC). There IS a domestic law (RA 9851) that allows local authorities to enforce the warrant and surrender Bato to the ICC. On top of that, the SC had ruled that even if the PH govt withdrew from the ICC in 2019, we remain obligated to cooperate on cases involving incidents prior to the withdrawal.

The NBI and PNP had every right to arrest Bato and the Senate was wrong in coddling him and facilitating his escape.

Ang may problema si Allan at Jonvic.

BREAKING: The Department of Justice said the Philippines may surrender a suspected or arrested person to an international court or tribunal under Republic Act 9851, following a recent attempt at Senate to arrest Sen. Bato dela Rosa through a warrant of arrest from the ICC.

“Yes, same position. Under RA 9851, we may surrender a suspected or arrested person in the Philippines to the appropriate international court or tribunal. The other mode is extradition,” DOJ spokesperson Atty. Polo Martinez told reporters.

This comes after National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) director Melvin Matinag said earlier they would consult the DOJ on the implementation of ICC arrest warrant. | via @chedcgatchalian, https://t.co/9R0Mcay5im

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:

Magnificent Five Senators Kiko Pangilinan, Tito Sotto, Ping Lacson, Risa Hontiveros, and Bam Aquino introduced and filed a resolution URGING BATO DELA ROSA to voluntarily surrender.

The Resolution cites the previous examples of voluntary surrender and judicial submission by Juan Ponce Enrile, Leila De Lima, and Sonny Trillanes. (This belies Cayetano’s false claims).

It also cites that the parliamentary immunity and privilege from arrest is LIMITED to offenses punishable by not more than six (6) years of imprisonment.

Sulit ang boto ko sa mga Senador na eto!

SUMUKO KA NA BATO DELA ROSA. 👊
