'HINDI NAMAN KAYO HALATA'
Pinasaringan ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano sa kaniyang Facebook live ngayong araw, July 16, ang NBI, DOJ at Malacañang matapos maungkat ang 2019 SEA Games na iimbestigahan daw ni NBI Director Melvin Matibag kaugnay ng umano'y maanomalyang infrastructure project at unliquidated funds noon.
"Sa DOJ, NBI, Malacañang: Hindi kayo halata ha? Slight lang, pero hindi naman kayo halata," ani Cayetano.

‘I DON’T WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN!’
Senator Pia Cayetano pointed out that Senator Risa Hontiveros’ question to private prosecutor Atty. Amando Virgil Ligutan was “not proper,” saying it was like a closing statement in the proceedings.
“When we allow this to happen, na-shortcut na natin ‘yung process!” Cayetano said during the second day of Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial on Tuesday.
Hontiveros earlier asked Ligutan if Duterte’s remarks in the videos shown as evidence in the trial are an impeachable offense. She then clarified, “My question po had to do with how the evidence is material to the allegations in the articles of impeachment kasi nga po hindi naman napapatunayan na the vice president actually sought an assassin. My intention was not to provoke a closing statement."
Presiding officer Chiz Escudero later ruled to strike from the records the prosecution’s response to Hontiveros.

'I'M FROM ATENEO LAW SCHOOL'
'Yan ang iginiit ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano nang tutulan niya ang paghahalal ng presiding judge sa impeachment trial ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.
Aniya, dapat si Senate President Win Gatchalian ang gumampan dito.

🚨 JUST IN: Atty. Kiko Pangilinan schools “Atty.” Alan Petra Cayetano on what the Constitution says.
Tama si Kiko Pangilinan, wala sa Constitution that says when a VP is impeached that the Senate President is required to be the Presiding Officer.

#Schooled
The Senate has voted to archive the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte.
The motion received 19 affirmative votes, 4 negative votes, and 1 abstention.
Legitimate news and media outlets were restricted from entering the Senate hall but later, the security relented pero late na nakapasok media and panget na pwesto. 👊
On the other hand, DDS bloggers were given special treatment and early access - kumpleto sila from Krizette Chu, Tio Moreno (Alex Destor), Trixie Cruz-Angeles, to Mocha Uson. 👊
This is Chiz DDS Presidency. 👊

WATCH: Senator Risa Hontiveros responds to Senator Rodante Marcoleta’s question on whether the Supreme Court has ever reversed a unanimous en banc decision — and she cites cases | @eimorpsantos
Ito ang inihayag ng dating chairperson ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) na si Prof. Emeritus Maria Serena I. Diokno sa kanyang talumpati sa 116th Commencement Exercises ng University of the Philippines (UP)–Manila noong Hulyo 22.
Hinimok niya ang mga graduates na isabuhay ang ideals ng UP na ‘honor, excellence, at service’ hindi lamang sa salita kundi pati sa gawa.
“Honor is not built into the position. We all know that appointments and elections to office do not always yield the best or the most appropriately able. So the position does not confer honor, you bring honor to the position, not the other way around,” saad ni Prof. Diokno.
