The protection now being extended to Senator Bato is the same protection this state denied thousands of Filipinos during the bloody years of the drug war.
No warrants served with caution. No guarantees of due process. No Senate shielding them from arrest. No powerful institution rushing to defend their rights after they were branded guilty without trial.
For years, ordinary Filipinos were told that fear, violence, and death were necessary. Now that accountability is approaching the powerful, suddenly the language has changed to rights, dignity, and protection under the law. The hypocrisy is staggering.
The wrongs you see but keep quiet about today - because they don't directly affect you - are the same wrongs you'll wish somebody would speak about tomorrow when they do affect you.
LOYAL DOG SEARCHES FOR OWNER 🥺💔
A dog was seen roaming around the landslide area in Sitio Canduang, Barangay Damolog, Sogod, Cebu, where a house collapsed during last night’s 6.9-magnitude earthquake.
According to neighbors, the dog belonged to the elderly woman who lived alone in the house and was killed when the structure gave way. | via Avie Villa/The Freeman
