Nagkaroon ng tensyon sa impeachment trial ni VP Sara Duterte matapos magmatigas ang defense panel sa pangunguna ni Atty. Kristine Ferrer at tumangging mag-stipulate o kilalanin ang authenticity ng mga acknowledgment receipts (ARs) at iba pang dokumentong inihain ng prosecution.
Dito na pumasok ang beteranong litigator na si Atty. Lorna Kapunan, na tila nagbigay ng simpleng solusyon sa problemang mismo ring depensa ang gumagawa.
"If they do not trust the prosecution's documents... then we will use their documents. We are certain that their documents are the same as our documents. Let's use the defense documents."
Biglang nabaligtad ang sitwasyon.
Kung hindi raw nagtitiwala ang depensa sa kopya ng prosecution, sarili nilang mga dokumento ang gamitin.
At nang tanungin ni Kapunan si Atty. Ferrer, "Counsel, will you still question the authenticity of your own documents?"
Maiksi ang naging sagot ng depensa:
"Of course not, Your Honor."
Hontiveros warned that granting unchecked procurement powers was a recipe for abuse. Fast forward to the Pharmally scandal, and billions in pandemic funds were wasted on overpriced supplies while actual health workers suffered.
🚨LOOKING BACK AT WHY ATTY. VIRGIL LIGUTAN JOINED THE PROSECUTION TEAM FOR THIS IMPEACHMENT TRIAL:
: “What really motivated me to join the private prosecution team is the story of a school principal who was ordered imprisoned for 11 years for pocketing ₱5,000.”
: “If we can send someone to jail for 11 years over ₱5,000, why can’t we remove from office a sitting vice president for allegedly misusing millions of pesos in public funds?”
Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.
Simple lang ito.
Yung kay Leila panahon ng Covid at siya ay nakakulong dahil nag surrender siya sa mga autoridad at nirespeto ang arresting officers. Law abiding.
Si Bato. Walang Covid ngayon, nagtatago at tinakasan ang mga autoridad. Law breaker.
Hindi dapat kinokonsinti ang law breaker.
Huwag magpaloko sa mga nagkukumpara ng langka sa durian.
Tigilan na ninyo ang mga paninira at mga kasinungalingan ninyong mga trolls na mga bayaran ng mga kurakot na pulitikong nasa likod ninyo.
Hindi nyo na kaya lokohin ang taumbayan.

Tatakbong Pangulo nang walang programa?
Walang bitbit kundi pakikipagbangayan sa karibal at pagpapaawa para sa nakulong na tatay.
Ginagamit ang isyu ng korapsyon para iangat ang kanyang sarili patungong pagka-Presidente, kahit siya mismo korap?
Tawag diyan, Trapo.
A Philippines Coast Guard personnel is removing submerged barriers installed by China Coast Guard near Scarborough Shoal
These barriers destroy fishing equipments of Filipino fishermen & also restrict their movement in their own territory! @TrentTelenko@RommelFLopez@poyjampoy
Fuck this traitor of a Filipino senator.
Why should we give up the KIG when it was first discovered by Tomas Cloma and the ownership was transferred from him to the government of the Philippines?
Tomas Cloma was the reason we were able to annex Spratly's to our country as KIG.
