Happy birthday Rodrigo Roa Duterte!
May you be tried and convicted soon by the ICC.
I wish you more birthdays and may you live a long life so that you can pay for your sins in prison.

Walang uuwi. 👊

'A HUMANE PRESIDENT WITHOUT A HINT OF CORRUPTION'
Tatatak daw sa kasaysayan ang pamumuno ni dating pangulong Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino na walang bahid ng anumang korupsyon.
Sinabi ito ng dating political affairs adviser ni PNoy na si Ronald Llamas sa paggunita ng kanyang kaarawan ngayong Linggo, Feb. 8.
Nagsilbi si Aquino bilang ika-15 pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas mula 2010 hanggang 2016.
Pumanaw siya noong 2021 sa edad na 61.
MARCOLETA: THE SENATOR THE MAJORITY DISLIKES
Senator Loren Legarda was poised to become Senate President. By 2pm of February 4, the count was already 17-5 in her favor.
But by 3pm upon opening of session and during opening prayer, the 5 became 7 (in favor of Sotto and status quo) and only 19 Senators were physically present in the Senate building — Loren only had 12.
By 4pm, when the Senators took a break for picture taking and the Majority Bloc had a merienda and caucus, Loren no longer wanted to side with the DDS Bloc and the 15-member majority of Sotto was back together solidly.
What happened? ⁉️
Essentially, aside from Bato being physically absent, coup plotter instigator Alan Peter Cayetano and Marcoleta insisted that when Sotto is ousted that Marcoleta returns as Chair of the Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC).
From 2-3pm, two (2) Senators withdrew from the coup plot upon being reminded of the horrors that Marcoleta would bring as BRC Chair.
By 4-5pm, when Senator Ping Lacson explained his draft report recommending Chiz, Joel, and Jinggoy for prosecution and appeasing the concerns of some members, the majority was back together.
While the draft majority report was concerning, the alternative was far more troubling — Marcoleta being back as BRC Chair would mean that the Minority Report that he and Imee Marcos reported in a press conference would become the majority report.
And that was worse than any concerns with Ping Lacson’s report.
You see, Marcoleta’s report absolved ALL three of Chiz, Joel, and Jinggoy from any liabilities or recommendation for prosecution based on the flood control scam.
The majority Senators realized that that would have been far more damaging to the reputation and integrity of the Senate than Ping Lacson’s report.
You see, the apprehension of some members of the Majority with Ping’s report is that very few Congressmen were recommended for prosecution — only Zaldy Co and Mitch Cajayon Uy.
Some in the Majority also wanted former Speaker Martin Romualdez’s head.
But when Ping Lacson explained that based on the standards that he and his lawyers used, all the individuals he recommended for prosecution had three lawyers of evidence: identification by witnesses, validation, and corroboration.
And that while Martin Romualdez was mentioned or identified by Orly Guteza, there was no validation or corroboration of Guteza’s testimony.
This explanation appeased some members of the Majority Bloc.
And when the draft report was leaked, the Senators saw the public reception and they saw that the public was satisfied if not cheering the report recommending Chiz, Joel, and Jinggoy for prosecution.
So the comeback of Marcoleta — and his Minority Report — became a far less appealing and more horrifying alternative than Lacson’s Majority Report.
They would suffer horrible backlash if Chiz, Joel, and Jinggoy would be absolved and the Senate would be perceived as protecting their own or reinforcing the Old Boys Club notion.
That is aside from the fact that MANY Senators (especially the Tulfos) dislike Marcoleta on a personal level — the way he handles Committee hearings is rude, abrasive, and disorderly.
Many Senators also find him sanctimonious and a know-it-all despite being really wrong on many things — legal or non-legal issues.
Thus, aside from Bato’s continued absence, we have to thank Alan Peter Cayetano for his insistence on making Marcoleta the Blue Ribbon Chair again.
And thanks to Rodente Marcoleta for being himself — annoying and unlikeable. 👊

Sonny Trillanes filed graft & plunder complaints against Sara Duterte not only to strengthen the case filed by Cielo Magno and civil society groups before.
He also filed it to introduce the Rammil Madriaga allegations – to connect how the confidential funds were spent.
Boom! 💥
We should not let history repeat itself.
Pinakulong ni PNoy si Bong Revilla nuon sa PDAF Scam pero pinalaya ng Sandiganbayan under Duterte.
Hindi dapat manalo si Sara Duterte dahil makakalaya ang mga sangkot da Flood Control Scam for sure pag si Sara ang Presidente sa 2028. 👊
