I really wonder how people of high stature will go extreme lengths of lying just to save faces, and even use irrelevant issues to distract others from their very own maneuverings. Whatever makes you sleep at night. There’s always a day of reckoning!

Patricia Evangelista has reported extensively on the horror and bloodiness of the Duterte Presidency, and its extralegal drug wars, in the Philippines. Her new book, “Some People Need Killing,” is a journalistic masterpiece, David Remnick writes. https://t.co/UetRrc6EVa

Naisip ko lang, kaya naman pala ni Zardos gumawa ng ilang beast fighters pero bakit inisa-isa niya ng pagpapalabas? Ayan tuloy, di niya natalo si Voltes V! 🤔

When this little cutie has successfully domesticated you for the past few days as one of her HOOMANS! Now, how can I leave this monster in Makati and let me live my own life? 😢
