'BAKA PWEDE MAG-ADJUST KAYO NG INYONG DEFENSE STRATEGY.'
LOOK: Senator-judge Ping Lacson tells defense panel to reconsider cross-examination strategy.
He says defense appeared to focus on creating an “iota of doubt” through highly technical points, giving the impression that the threshold for establishing guilt in the impeachment trial is beyond reasonable doubt.
Lacson said he does not believe that is case in this trial.
"Hindi po ito prejudgment. Ang hangad ko lang po is baka pwede mag-adjust kayo ng inyong defense strategy," he says.
Lacson adds, "Kasi I can speak for myself, pagdating sa masyadong technical at 'yong impression na nagsisilip lang ng napakaliit na butas, mukhang hindi po nagre-register." #VPonTrial | @AprBenjaminINQ

No one bent the law. The Constitution was never changed. It was 2/3 then, and it remains 2/3 now.
You keep quoting the Constitution—but you know what the Philippine Constitution never says?
It never says 16 is the magic number.
Wow napaka commonsense mag-argue ni Senator Tito Sotto.
Kung umuwi daw si Loren, she can vote. Kung magpakita si Bato at mag oath, he can vote.
Kung i-allow ng Sandiganbayan umattend ang mga nakakulong, they can vote.
2/3s of Senators within the coercive jurisdiction of the Senate or members who can vote.
Very simple. Very logical.
Thank you!
🚨 JUST IN: Five (5) Senators vote AGAINST the approval on 2nd reading of Chiz Escudero’s proposed bill postponing the 2026 Barangay elections.
The five are: Bam Aquino, Tito Sotto, Risa Hontiveros, Kiko Pangilinan, and Joel Villanueva. 👏
Wala pa boto dyan ng DDS Minority.
😂
🔥 ARMY DID THE WORK. SO WHAT DID SARA DUTERTE’S DepEd’s ₱15.54 MILLION CONFIDENTIAL FUND ACTUALLY PAY FOR?
OMG, ang lala nito. 😱
Imagine si Col. Manaros Boransing II ka.
Lumapit sa’yo si then-DepEd Usec. Nolasco Mempin asking for a certification.
So, you certify what you actually know: that the Philippine Army successfully conducted Youth Leadership Summits and IEC activities.
Nothing unusual. Army programs yun. Army ang nagplano at nagpatakbo naman talaga.
But here’s the problem.
According to the prosecution, that certification later became part of the documentation DepEd submitted to COA in connection with ₱15.54 million supposedly paid as confidential-fund rewards to informers. 😲
Except Boransing wasn’t certifying DepEd informers.
He wasn’t certifying that ₱15.54 million confidential fund was actually paid to them.
He wasn’t certifying that their intelligence produced those Army activities.
In fact, Boransing testified that no DepEd confidential funds were used in those activities.
So, imagine his certification saying essentially:
“Yes, the Army conducted these programs.”
Then DepEd allegedly using that accomplishment as supporting documentation for millions in its own confidential expenditures.
That is what makes this serious for DepEd under Sara Duterte.
Because, if the Army certification proves only what the Army did, then DepEd still has to prove what DepEd did with ₱15.54 million.
Saan na napunta yun?
Who were the informers?
What information did they provide?
What connected that information to these Army activities?
And what evidence proves the ₱15.54 million was legitimately paid?
The Army can account for its programs.
The question now is whether Sara Duterte’s DepEd can account for its ₱15.54 million.
Tapos sasabihin ng mga supporters nya na pinupulitika lang si Sara? 😱
