'NOT AN ATTACK ON FILIPINOS OF CHINESE HERITAGE'
Nilinaw ni Sen. Risa Hontiveros na ang mga pagdinig ng Senado tungkol sa koneksyon umano ni Bamban, Tarlac Mayor Alice Guo sa illegal #POGO operations ay hindi pag-atake sa mga Pilipinong may Chinese heritage. #News5
A few days ago, China released several soc-med cards online (below) to justify its increasingly aggressive behavior against the Philippines. This one is a case of abusive ad hominem and self-projection. A first 🧵 of two. 1/24
The People’s Republic of China should not abuse Philippines’ restraint or underestimate our country’s determination and ability to safeguard our sovereignty and territorial integrity. President @bongbongmarcos has vowed to take countermeasures against China Coast Guard’s illegal presence, provocative behavior, and escalatory actions in the West Philippine Sea. We will not yield!
Please use your common sense and logic. As what I have posted, the incumbent president who is the sole architect of our foreign policy has already rescinded those agreement with People’s Republic of China if there is any. Secondly, it is irrelevant whether PRC would also rescind the agreement that perhaps you and the Chinese are only aware of. And as far as our national government position is concern we do not need China’s permission to allow us to maintain our post onboard BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal. Lastly, would you really believe the version of the story provided by Wang Yi? He was the one who signed the 2002 DOC, but since becoming the PRC's Foreign Minister, China has violated all of its provisions.
Nevertheless, if you think that you hold the gospel truth in the West Philippine Sea and it is not misinformation that you are preaching, i suggest you face the Senate inquiry on disinformation to be led by Senator @jinggoyestrada_. Instead of hiding behind the ‘freedom of speech’ in your column and blogs, do it under oath.
Our justice system favors only the rich and powerful.
One reason why we need the intervention of the ICC in cases involving Rodrigo Duterte and his cohorts.
Senator Risa Hontiveros pushed for a Senate order to arrest embattled Davao-based preacher Apollo Quiboloy as he continued to reject a Senate panel’s summons to answer accusations leveled at him by his former followers. https://t.co/dOAAJOPOyG
Catholics normally don’t brag about their religion. Usually, they are at the receiving end of criticisms & ridicule from other sects. But, this time, it is indeed fair to tell all, especially to that self-proclaimed “appointed son of God,” that our beloved bishops faced the house members during their inquiry on GMA’s misuse of PCSO funds. In fact, the bishops returned the vehicles “donated” by PCSO. Now, this QUIBOLOK is using his friendship w/ politicians to evade facing the LAW! Asan ang tapang? Even Jesus Christ faced his tormentors. Bakit nagtatago ang kampon ng kasamaan?

1. There are corroborating witnesses.
2. Recantations are valid depending on circumstances. In Lascañas’s case, it was clearly justified. An investigator determined to ferret out the TRUTH should know this.
3. The Senate inquiry that time was dominated by pro-duterte senators determined to shut his voice.
4. There is no basis to assume that the ICC will not be fair.
