Statement
I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.
Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.
I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.
If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.
I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.
That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.
And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.
Accountability should apply to all, big or small.

RELIEF PARA SA MGA KABABAYAN NATING MUSLIM
#AngatBayanihanInAction: Nakapag-abot tayo ng food packs, inuming tubig, at mga gamot para sa mga residente ng Purok Tuka, Brgy. Burias, Glan, Sarangani, na napilitang lumikas matapos masira ang kanilang mga tahanan.
Pinupuri tayong resilient, pero paano kung hindi ito katatagan kundi bunga ng paulit-ulit na pagpapabaya?
Hindi tayo naging matibay dahil pinili natin. Ang iba sa atin ay napilitan lang tumayo dahil walang ibang aakay lalo na sa isang gobyernong korap at pabaya.
ONGOING RELIEF PACKING FOR GENSAN
Tuloy-tuloy ang mga volunteers sa paghahanda ng relief packs sa ating Operations Center sa General Santos City.
Agad itong ipapamahagi sa mga komunidad na lubhang naapektuhan ng 7.8-magnitude na lindol sa Mindanao.
HANDA SAKALING MANGGULO SI CAYETANO?
Nakahanda raw ang Gatchalian bloc sakaling manggulo umano si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano kung magkaroon man ng special session sa Senado, ayon kay Sen. Ping Lacson.
Giit niya, hindi dapat maliitin ang kayang gawin ni Cayetano para lamang daw makakapit sa puwesto.
“Magising na sana [siya] sa katotohanan, ito ang realidad. Maski sinigaw niya sa buong mundo [na] siya ang [Senate president] walang sumusunod sa kanya," banat ni Lacson kay Cayetano.
🚨 Cong. Terry Ridon says there’s new evidence of Sara Duterte having properties not declared in her SALNs.
If ex Chief Justice Renato Corona was convicted for failure to declare his properties…
…then Sara Duterte should be convicted for the exact same reason. 👊

May corruption ba nangyari. Kahit magkano gastusin ng gobyerno meron pa rin kayong masasabi. Kasi ang purpose niyo kasi manira at pabagsakin ang gobyerno. Pero doon sa pangungurakot ni Inday Lustay at mga DDS senators bulag-bulagan kayo.
