Guillermo del Toro says AI is a form of "natural stupidity"

“We are on the verge of image illiteracy. We are on the verge of cinema illiteracy... The pact between man and image is sacred, but we are in a time when that is in danger... We are told images can be generated by artificial means. The existence of an image is not just to be there. It is to connect us, to make us feel beauty,” he said.

Statement

I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.

Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.

I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.

If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.

I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.

That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.

And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.

Accountability should apply to all, big or small.

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!

'Dr. STONE' artist Boichi:

"Pirated manga readers are not our opponents. They are our future audience. They are proof that demand already exists."

Boichi says many manga fans around the world still lack access to legal manga because some countries have no publishing infrastructure, translation systems, or distribution networks

"Telling manga fans in those countries, 'You should buy manga,' is meaningless if there is no actual way for them to buy it."

He argues that affordable digital manga services are key to expanding the industry globally and creating opportunities for future creators

Nadidismaya tayo na hindi isinama ng Pangulo sa mga priority measure para sa Special Session ng Kongreso ang pagtugon sa mataas na singil sa kuryente—partikular ang ating mga inihain na:

• House Bill No. 9134: Upang alisin ang 12% VAT sa system loss.

• House Resolution 995: Upang imbestigahan ang nagtataasang power bills at ang iba't ibang charges na ipinapasa sa mga consumer.

• House Resolution 875: Para sa agarang pagsusuri sa Philippine Energy Plan upang tiyakin ang sapat na supply ng kuryente at bawasan ang pagdepende sa imported fuel.

Gayunpaman, nagpapasalamat tayo na nabigyang-daan ang iba nating panukala para sa edukasyon, tulad ng pag-amyenda sa Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act; pagpapalawak ng School Feeding Program; at pagpapatayo ng Last Mile Schools.

Mahalagang matalakay at aprubahan ang mga ito ng Kongreso at ng Senado. Handa tayong magtrabaho at magsilbi para sa bayan.
