You just said what we were all thinking about and what we all wanted to shout at the rooftops, on the streets, and everywhere where there are people who can hear us.
If you want this destabiliser investigated, arrested where warranted by law at the soonest time, and charged with the appropriate offenses, please like and repost.
Let us call upon the government and the competent authorities to enforce our accountability mechanisms with urgency, impartiality, and resolve—without fear or favour against those who continuously undermine our institutions, sow division and disorder, and seek to wrest power from a legitimately elected President.
Their actions have become increasingly clear. He arrogated unto himself powers and authority that were never his to exercise. He worked in concert with a purported Blue Ribbon Committee that lacked the proper authority of the Senate, in an attempt to bastardise established institutions and lawful processes. They came dangerously close to succeeding once again.
We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this serial destabiliser, his network of corrupt political allies, and their 18 delivery syndicates.
We likewise condemn the Cayetano group of opportunistic politicians whose overriding objective is the acquisition of power, the preservation of impunity, and the protection of personal and political interests at the expense of institutional integrity and the rule of law.
It is so elementary. It was perhaps very painful on the part of the Vice President’s handlers and PR team to have to watch and listen to her speeches.
Seemingly unprepared or just doesn’t have the base abilities to deliver an effective speech. Despite her reading the texts of her speech, the struggle was apparent.
But more importantly, we beg to ask the questions— did she really understand-and listened to the very messages of her talk?
Every single word she said, just came right back 180 degree to slap her in the face.
She spoke of sovereignty, but no less than her father, Rodrigo Duterte sold the nation to the Chinese. As a Vice President, she never spoke against the many aggressions committed by China’s Navy and paramilitary operatives against our people. Her deafening silence says it all.
She spoke of thievery in public office. Yet she conveniently forgets the many corruption unanswered corruption allegations against herself who is now subject to impeachment trial. She forgets the many corruption committed under her father’s rule, and where the flood control funding mess have made its heydays, including the P51 billion largesse of her brother Pulong Duterte.
She spoke of illiteracy and substandard education, when under her tenure as Education Secretary, hardly a school classroom was built, the education system was very poorly managed and where she accepted her own incompetence, where she committed misuse and plunder of the education funding, where she was believed to have bribed education officials to keep quiet. These were all evidenced by Congressional investigations.
She spoke of stealing a patient’s quality healthcare. Yet, the regime of her father was the source of the biggest healthcare fund scandal and thievery even under the crisis brought by the Covid19 pandemic at the time.
She spoke of a worker’s decent living. Yet, her father’s regime closed a TV and radio broadcast station who’s owners he deemed his enemies l, but without supporting the workers and finding alternatives for those who lost their jobs.
She spoke of opportunities and hope. Yet her father’s regime and her office have been accused of the most grievous thievery of our public coffers for which they have refused to be accountable for under our processes. To date, she continues to evade scrutiny by our institutions.
She spoke of dignity, life and freedom. Yet her father’s regime stole the future and lives of thousands of Filipinos murdered under his instructions in an illegal war on drugs. He is now undergoing trial at the ICC for crimes against humanity.
On all of these sins her family and allies have committed against the nation and our people, she said nothing. Vice President Sara Duterte’ said and done nothing.
And the same Vice President was to later display, for the world to see, her own gruesome murderous nature with her own threat to conspire to kill and murder a sitting President and his family.
Such hypocrisy and vileness. And she dare speak about freedom, dignity and hope on an independence day, to a nation that suffered and continues to suffer under the Duterte family’s bad and gruesome behaviours.
Sa mga DDS lalo na kayo Markobeta, ngayon alam niyo na malaking kawalaan ang ABS-CBN!!! Sana alam natin agad ano actual na pangyayari after ng earthquake sa Mindanao!!! 🤬🤬🤬
“When you’re strong on the law, pound the law. When you’re strong on the facts, pound the facts. When you’re weak on both…” — mag-Facebook live ka na lang.
The 1949 case of Avelino v Cuenco gives the new 12-member Senate majority legal basis for their actions today.
If Cayetano's group disagrees, they can bring the matter before the SC.
It will be interesting to see if the SC considers it as a political question or not.
