Trending sa social media ngayong Martes ng gabi, Hulyo 14, ang pagkuwestiyon ni Senator-Judge Robin Padilla kay National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Regional Director Jeremy Lotoc kung bakit hindi nito hinaharap ang sariling mga kaso, na isinampa rito habang tumutupad sa tungkulin bilang law enforcer.
Ang netizens, ipinaalala kay Padilla na siya pa mismo ang kumuwestiyon kay Lotoc tungkol sa pagtugon sa kinakaharap na kaso gayung siya nga ang matatandaang tumulong sa paglabas ni Senator Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa mula sa Senate premises sa Pasay City noong madaling araw ng Mayo 14.
Si Dela Rosa ay may arrest warrant mula sa International Criminal Court (ICC) kaugnay ng crimes against humanity case na kinakaharap ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa The Hague, Netherlands.

Tom Holland admits he was humbled after DM'ing Erling Haaland to arrange a dinner, only to receive no response because Haaland had no idea who he was and never watched his films 😂
“That is exactly the type of humbling experience that is important for actors. I’ll text him let's have dinner… not even a response. Not even an excuse, not him saying, ‘I’m busy, I’m playing football’… nada.”
"Freedom of speech protects lawful expression; but it does not protect utterances that satisfy the elements of a criminal offense."

‘THE FILIPINO PEOPLE DESERVE A GOVERNMENT FOCUSED ON SOLVING PROBLEMS’
Vice President Sara Duterte said the government has become “more preoccupied with protecting power than serving the people,” citing alleged attempts to silence critics.
“A government that fears dissent is not demonstrating strength. It is revealing insecurity. And that insecurity is reflected in the direction our country is taking today,” Duterte remarked in a video statement Tuesday.
Duterte cited the flood control controversy, her impeachment trial, and the charter change, saying those issues revealed “disturbing realities.”
“The current state of our nation reveals three disturbing realities: first, the effort to divert attention from legitimate questions surrounding the flood control controversy; second, the willingness to disregard constitutional safeguards in pursuit of a politically motivated impeachment; and third, the relentless pursuit of greater political power under the guise of Charter Change,” she claimed.
Duterte formally responded to impeachment articles on Monday, as the Senate is set to begin the trial on July 6, 2026.
