Another day, another scripted production from the Vice President Sara Duterte’s camp.
This filmed walk-out of Attorney Poa and the defense team after submitting their pre-trial evidence was not legal advocacy, but was a political theatre. A staged zarzuela designed to generate media mileage and victimhood narratives.
The irony is that despite years of image laundering, message control, and carefully managed optics, even fake news peddling, the Vice President remains hounded by allegations involving corruption, confidential funds, and misuse of public resources.
Again, her PR team and handlers doing very poorly. Public relations can edit videos. It cannot edit facts. And no amount of choreography can outrun accountability.
BREAKING: Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano concedes as the Senate President.
“I may leave the position of SP, but I am honored to still be your PS — your Public Servant.” Cayetano said in his post.

DEFENSOR-LED BRIEFING NARRATES MORE ALLEGED CASH DELIVERIES TO LAWMAKERS
UPDATE: A briefing moderated by former Rep. Mike Defensor on Tuesday, June 16, narrates more cash deliveries to lawmakers in a meeting supposedly called by the group of senators aligned with Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
Defensor said there may have been a misunderstanding with some senators as none of them were seen at the event.
“Nagkaroon ng konting siguro hindi pagkakaintindihan sa mga kasama po natin sa Senado. Pero ito po ay talagang patawag ng Senate blue ribbon committee," he said.
Sen. Imee Marcos was earlier seen attempting to enter the venue.
Defensor also said Sen. Robin Padilla went to the venue yesterday for an ocular.
