Our Ate wants to buy her daughter a phone for school and asked me to pick one out for her. 😊 Any recommendations for a durable, budget phone that offers great value for money?
PNP says the cop whose 9mm Glock was used in the Tacloban school shooting has been relieved.
The gun was used by the suspects/shooters in the San Jose National High School attack in Tacloban City, Philippines, which left 3 students dead and 20 others injured.

@yancebu@xuderaluap@iamjustindizon This is true. But if you believe intervention programs, rehabilitation and counseling are sufficient consequences for a minor who stole a gun, fired 40 rounds at a school, killed 4 people and injured 20 others, then you’re entitled to that opinion.
@crash_ice@xuderaluap@iamjustindizon Not true. When he reaches the right age RA 9344 will still apply because he committed the crime when he was still a minor. Wala po sinasabi na batas na once he reaches legal age, he can be tried at regular courts.
@venaisse_@xuderaluap@iamjustindizon Hindi po. If you are 15 years old below, you are exempt from criminal liability. Your punishment will be intervention programs. Even after they turn 18, they will still be protected under RA 9344.
Quite unfair for the 15 yo when he fired a single shot, while the 14yo fired around 40 rounds, reloaded, killed four people, injured several others and clearly acted with discernment. But what can we do, the law is the law.
UPDATE: The 15-year-old student involved in the Tacloban school shooting will undergo a regular trial if proven to have acted with discernment, while his 14-year-old accomplice will be committed to a DSWD facility, according to PNP spokesperson Col. Allen Rae Co.
@LiezKareen I agree. But it’s hard not to feel for the guy when he fired a single shot, while the other suspect fired around 40 rounds, reloaded, killed four people and injured several others in the process.
@cvmalaya Madam, dont let your idolism blind you that you miss the bigger picture. The children acted knowing that RA 9344 existed and that it would protect them. I’m not saying Kiko deserves all the blame, but you can’t pretend that this law played no role in what happened.
