If senators like @SayChiz have no problem subverting the Constitution, the highest law of the land, to forward their own agenda, what’s stopping them from violating all our laws for self-serving ends?

I learned in 2019 that the Lamoiyan Corporation employs people with disabilities and provides college scholarships to deaf-mute people in addition to employing Filipinos and directly contributing to our national economy.

As Rodrigo Duterte is arrested on charges of crimes against humanity, it is important to explain how his murderous war on drugs became possible.

Here is a thread from 2021 that detailing Duterte's machinery of mass murder, and all those who facilitated it.

[Joseph Scalice @josephscalice]

These are the statistics of mass murder conducted before the eyes of the entire world. Blood drips from the hands of many.
Who was responsible for this immense crime?
A thread.

BREAKING NEWS: The Philippine National Police arrests former president Rodrigo Duterte for his alleged crimes against humanity.

Duterte had been the subject of International Criminal Court investigations for the thousands of people killed in his brutal war on drugs waged when he was mayor of Davao City and later when he became Philippine president in 2016.

My master’s thesis in 1986: “Modeling the appearance of cloth”. It took library research and cleverness and originality and months of work and days of time on big computers. Now I’m outdone by an AI in a few minutes. They still pay me, but for how long?

Say what you have but Noynoy never sold the country to China. Also, he allowed for the passage of the Reproductive Health Law after dashed hopes under PGMA. Life was also better, objectively speaking: he lowered the debt ratio to 44% of the GDP, and avg. inflation, to just 1.4%

I will repeat my warning to the Marcoses: the Dutertes are very vindictive, and if the Marcoses will not ensure that they lock up the Dutertes, they will eventually return to power, at una rin si Sandro sa listahan ng gagantihan—killing a person is always an option 4 the Dutertes

IMPEACHMENT AT A GLANCE

The House of Representatives has impeached Vice President Sara Duterte, but her removal from office remains a long shot.

Under Section 3, Article XI of the 1987 Constitution, a Vice President’s impeachment follows specific steps — from filing a verified complaint to a Senate trial, which ultimately decides removal from office.

If convicted, Duterte will be disqualified from holding any government position in the future, including running in the 2028 presidential elections.

Leaked text message ni BBM sa mga Congressman.

Reading between the lines:

1. Sara is unimportant - she is a VP. A spare tire with no real powers.

And EDSA Kwatro by the DDS is a whimper. No warm bodies. No sustainability. No mass appeal. So Sara does not have any revolutionary powerz

2. Larger scheme of things - hindi pa pasado 2025 budget. Don’t be distracted.

Plus, you can’t finish impeachment proceedings before May 2025 elections.

And most importantly, we have to ensure DDS Senators get kicked out. No 2/3 majority yet to convict Sara in Senate.

3. Real work of governance - madami pa tayong “gagawin.” 😂

Sara is not important? Aray!

"Si Sen. Dela Rosa, Death Squad rin 'yan."

After denying the existence of the Davao Death Squad, former President Rodrigo Duterte says Davao police chiefs were DDS commanders.

While he emphasizes that he never ordered to kill, he admits telling Davao police chiefs to "encourage criminals to fight."

Former police colonel Royina Garma admitted that she received a call from former president Rodrigo Duterte in May 2016.

According to Garma, Duterte instructed her to meet him at his residence in Dona Luisa, Davao, and asked her to find a police officer who was a member of Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Garma said the former president indicated that he needed someone "capable of implementing the war on drugs on a national scale, replicating the Davao model." | via @jeffreyhernaez

I’m gonna start a thread of Filipino films that are available on Youtube. Some I really love, others I don’t. Most (I believe) are underrated or underseen. Most of these are not restored, but I believe that they still deserve to be seen. Lezzgo
