LIGUTAN APPEARS TO LECTURE PIA CAYETANO
NEWS ALERT: Private prosecutor Atty. Amando Virgil Ligutan appeared to lecture Senator Pia Cayetano after the senator-judge asked about the elements of grave threats.
Cayetano specifically asked whether the alleged victim must have personally felt threatened, or whether it is enough that the general public considers the statement threatening.
The senator-judge illustrated her question with four examples—a neighbor's quarrel, two professional boxers, a police officer, and a senator who told a female colleague she would be "bibitbitin, kekwelyuhan, palalayasin"—before disclosing that she personally felt that last example was a grave threat.
Ligutan responded by citing two Supreme Court (SC) decisions, at one point appearing to address law students in the gallery rather than the senator-judge who asked the question.
"Yung sagot sa tanong na iyan, yung sagot po ng prosecution, hindi po galing sa opinyon ng aking mga kasama. Ito po ay isang desisyon no less than the Supreme Court of the Philippines," Ligutan said, citing Paera versus People, G.R. No. 181626, which held that no law requires a private complainant to execute an affidavit for an accused to be found guilty of grave threats.
Ligutan added that a second Supreme Court decision further held that it is not necessary for the recipient of a threat to have actually felt afraid or taken the threat seriously—only that the accused intended the statement to have that effect.
"Hindi po kailangan na yung recipient mismo nakaramdam ng takot, or that sineryoso yung pagbabanta. All that needs to be proven is that they were intended by the accused to have that effect. Yung sagot sa tanong hindi po galing sa prosecution. Hindi po opinyon. Galing mismo sa Supreme Court of the Philippines," Ligutan said.

Paki usap lang po sa mga senador natin na wag po sana nating hayaan na ang mga nahuhuli o kinukulong na may mataas na position sa gobyerno o may kapit, na kapag hinuli sila biglang nagkakasakit, tigilan na po ang ganyang SISTEMA AT KADRAMAHAN. @iampinglacson@WinGatchalian74

Walang Puso
MARAMING katangian ang dapat hanapin sa isang tao, na ibig naging lider, lalo na kung ang ibig niyang posisyon ay ang pagiging Pangulo Ng Pilipinas.
Ang Pangulo ng Bansa ay ang tagapagpatupad ng batas. May mandato rin siyang mag-isip kung anong ang mga dapat isabatas upang maging payapa, maunlad at maging makatao ang bansa.
Ano ngayon ang dapat na maging kakayahan, kapasidad at ugali ng isang pe-presidentihen?
Ang isang Pangulo ay dapat na marunong.
Kailangang may kapasidad siya mag-isip para sa iba.
Ang isang Pangulo ay dapat na may determinasyon upag pabutihin masayahin, paunlarin ang sambayanan.
At sa huli, kailangang may puso siyang taung-tao ayon sa Kalikasan niya bilang "anak ng Diyos": Maganda, mabuti, at may kapangyarihang kumilos ayon sa mabuting kaisipan at malinis na puso.
Kilala nang ina ang kanyang supling.
AT - ayon sa ina ni Sara Duterte "walang puso" ang kanyang si Inday.
Ayon naman sa nakikita at nararanasan natin, wala tayong mabasang mahusay sa isip niyang tila blangko kadalasan.
