The Supreme Court handed down a one-year suspension to Atty. @jesusfalcis.
His offense? A 2018 tweet where he fiercely defended his brother by using vulgar language (“Paky* kayo mga g*ga”!).
The High Court ruled it as simple misconduct and declared that the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) strictly mandates lawyers to maintain dignified language, even on personal social media accounts.
Okay, if the baseline for "dignity of the profession" is THAT strict, how on earth is Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also a lawyer, still holding onto her law license?
If we are talking about actual violations, her verbatim, public receipts are entirely unhinged.
Let us enumerate some:
1. Sara Duterte didn't just casually throw bad words around.
In her streamed press briefings, she completely abandoned any shred of professional decorum and screamed on live broadcast:
“P*tang ina mo BBM! P*tang ina mo Liza! P*tang ina mo Martin! P*tang ina ninyong lahat!”
“Binastos pa nila sa pagsisinungaling nila na kesyo taksil, kesyo corrupt, abusado. P*tang ina ninyo, sino ang corrupt?”
2. Let's NEVER forget when she was a city mayor and an active member of the bar.
Instead of upholding the law, she literally used a court sheriff as a human punching bag!
She grabbed him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head on camera just for executing a lawful court order.
Kagalang-galang yarn?
3. She openly admitted on live television to hiring an assassin to target the country's top leaders if a supposed plot against her succeeded:
“I’ve talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, don’t stop until you k*ll BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke."
4. She casually bragged during a press conference about threatening to desecrate a former president's remains:
“Isang beses, sinabihan ko talaga si Sen. Imee. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hindi kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko 'yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea!”
5. She publicly detailed her thoughts of extreme physical violence against the sitting president:
“I wanted to remove his head. I realized the relationship was already toxic... [I] just imagine myself cutting his head."
An ordinary attorney gets a one-year suspension for typing profanities on Twitter to protect his sibling.
Meanwhile, a high-profile lawyer and the sitting Vice President can publicly brag about hitmen, look at a camera to detail cutting off the President's head, threaten to dig up a former president’s corpse, physically assault a court sheriff, and scream “p*tang ina ninyong lahat" on live broadcast with zero professional consequences!
Hello, IBP? Ano na?
The CPRA allows you to initiate disbarment proceedings motu proprio when a lawyer's misconduct is THIS flagrant and very public!
The rules apparently apply to everyone except her.
Time to strip her of that license!

Si Sen. Kiko Pangilinan ang papalit na chairman ng Senate Blue Ribbon Committee once na matuloy ang election ng bagong Senate President sa special session bukas.
Kaya minadali ng Cayetano bloc yung presscon ng 18 bagmen today para masira agad nila si Kiko bago pa siya makabwelo sa investigation ng flood control.
Seryoso pati si Sharon dinamay niyo sa maleta eh bilyonarya na yan noon pa? Lol.
STATEMENT ON SUITCASES
Puro pasaring. Puro alegasyon. Puro palabas.
Gusto lang mantsahan ang naiulat na pag-upo ko bilang chairperson ng Senate Blue Ribbon Subcommittee na mag-iimbestiga sa flood-control scam.
Wala ni katiting na basehan ang mga tangkang pagdungis sa aking pagkatao ng mga nagpa-presscon tungkol sa mga maletang kaugnay sa bilyon-bilyong pisong ninakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
At dahil dinamay niyo pa ang pamilya ko, makakatikim kayo ng hindi pasaring, alegasyon, o palabas na kaso sa korte. Pananagutan ninyo ang paninirang ginagawa niyo.
tbh, sa sobrang laki ng nakukuha nila sa mga tao dapat may libreng check up na para sa lahat. May discount sa dental at vision care, professional services at medical devices katulad ng mga wheelchair, hearing aid, etc.
Jesus Falcis tweeted “…Pakyu kayo mga gago…” and got suspended.
Meanwhile, Sara Duterte said in her own video “Putang ina ninyong lahat!” and what?
Sana ma-suspend, ma-disbar, at ma-impeach.
At sana soon.
Noong gabi raw na inaresto si Digong, kasama raw si Leila de Lima sa meeting doon sa Townhouse.
E sino ung kasama ko sa Bilyonaryo News? Na inienterview live 😭
Shet pati ako nagkaka crisis kung boss ko ba talaga ung kasama ko that night 😭😭😭
Erwin: May ibang naging Blue Ribbon diyan, ayaw naman mag imbestiga talaga...
Jessica: Sino yun?
Erwin: Si Pia Cayetano... nung panahon niya hindi naman siya nag-iimbestiga, walang naimbestigahan.
Boom! So true! Thanks Sen. Erwin Tulfo. I want the world to hear! Kasi baka ako lang nakahalata na when Pia was crowned as BRC chair nung 2023-2024... WALA SIYANG GINAWA! She's always at the gym and playing Padel. May media presscon pa nga siya sa Padel tournament sa Baler habang may Alice Guo hearing si Risa Hontiveros. Eh diba dapat sa Blue Ribbon yun?! Bat napunta sa Women and Children committee?! Minority pa si Risa nun ah.
Sabi ng 18 maleta boys, meron din daw si Kiko Pangilinan.
Talo si Kiko sa 2022 election at naupo lang ulit noong June 30, 2025.
SO WALA SIYANG POWER MAG INSERT SA NATIONAL BUDGET. BAKIT NIYO BIBIGYAN NG KICKBACK?!
Basta hindi niyo kaalyado matic may maleta, no? Mga tarantado.
Anong basura na ebidensya yan na may picture? Na isasama ang buong pamilya para tumanggap ng suhol tapos mapapapicture pa sa mga tao pagkatapos? Ginagago ninyo ang taumbayan.
Walang kwenta. Kagaguhan. Kasinungalingan. Humanda kayo sa mga kasong isasampa laban sa inyo.
