HOW DID DUTERTE TREAT LENI?

Former President Rodrigo Duterte repeatedly lashed out at former Vice President Leni Robredo, even telling her "Mamatay ka na" in one of his addresses to the nation during the pandemic.

Statement of the National Security Adviser
Secretary Eduardo M. Año
Manila, Philippines
05 January 2024

We have taken note of the recent statements from the Chinese Foreign Ministry expressing concerns about the joint maritime cooperative activities conducted by the Philippines and the United States in the West Philippine Sea. The Chinese spokesman referred to these activities as "provocative military activities" and deemed them as “irresponsible."

We wish to clarify that the joint maritime activities between the Philippines and the United States were clearly conducted within our exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and are consistent with international law, particularly the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), so how can they be deemed provocative?

The Philippines is merely exercising its sovereign right to engage in such activities within its territory and these exercises are aimed at enhancing our maritime capabilities and interoperability with the US which is a treaty partner to ensure the security and stability of the region. The joint patrol emphasizes our ability to work seamlessly together to ensure the readiness of our joint forces to address evolving security challenges.

Our joint patrols with the United States and potential future activities with other allied countries shows our mutual commitment to a rules-based international order and for promoting peace and stability of the region.
It also demonstrates the significant improvement in the Philippine's defense capabilities and the development of a world-class navy and armed forces capable of carrying out its mandate to defend the territorial integrity of the Philippines and our maritime rights in the West Philippine Sea.

The Philippines remains open to diplomatic discussions with China and reaffirms its commitment to fostering good relations with all nations. We believe that through peaceful dialogue and adherence to international law, we can achieve a resolution that serves the best interests of all parties involved in the region.###

Celiz and Badoy are "creations" of the NTF-Elcac. Nakasandal sa pader. Remove the pader, tanggal din yong nakasandal.

[VERA Files @verafiles]

COMMENTARY:Has the military’s intelligence community checked – vetted -- the veracity of Celiz’s claims? Or is the military in connivance with the fake story? https://t.co/VAeD4LkPXV

A CNN reporter, a BBC reporter, and an Israeli commando are captured by Hamas in Gaza.

The leader of the terrorists told them that he would grant them each one last request before they were beheaded.

The CNN Reporter said, "Well, I’m an American, so I’d like one last hamburger with French fries.”

The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the burger and fries. The reporter ate it and said, “Now, I can die.”

The BBC Reporter said, "I’m a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what’s about to happen. Maybe someday someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.”

The Hamas leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and dictated some comments. The reporter then said, "Now I can die knowing I stayed true until the end.”

The Hamas leader turned to the Israeli commando and said, “And now, Mr. Israeli tough guy, what is your final wish?”

“Kick me in the butt,” said the soldier.

“What?" asked the leader, “Will you mock us in your last hour?”

“No, I’m not kidding. I want you to kick me in the butt,” insisted the Israeli.

So the terrorist leader shoved him into the open and kicked him in the behind.

The soldier went sprawling but rolled to his knees, pulled a 9 mm pistol from under his flak jacket, and shot the leader dead.

In the resulting confusion, he jumped to his knapsack, pulled out his carbine, and sprayed the terrorists with gunfire.

In a flash, all terrorists were either dead or fleeing for their lives. As the soldier was untying the reporters, they asked him,

“Why didn’t you just shoot them in the beginning? Why did you ask them to kick you in the butt first?”

“What?” replied the Israeli, “And help you to report that I was the aggressor?"

I never liked to use Madumb, but sounds apt for Madumb Sara and Madumb Lorraine.

[Barry Gutierrez @barrygutierrez3]

That Sara Duterte sees fit to immediately issue a statement on Badoy and Celis, but remains completely silent on China harassing Filipinos in the WPS, tells us all we need to know about her priorities as a public official.
