Statement
I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.
Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.
I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.
If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.
I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.
That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.
And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.
Accountability should apply to all, big or small.
#Accountability
Hehe, gusto mo lang makalusot ang princesa lustay niyo sa impeachment. Pwede namang pagsabayin iyan, time management lang yan. Trabaho niyo rin ang impeachment proceedings. Bawasan na lang ang kadramahan at fakery ng mga kampon.
Binatikos ni Senador Imee Marcos ang ilang mambabatas na aniya'y hindi inuunang tugunan ang mga problema ng bansa.
Kasunod ito ng video na iprinesenta ng senador na naglalaman ng iba-ibang alegasyon kabilang ang aniya'y planong charter change.
🚨 JUST IN:
Bato Dela Rosa’s 118 firearms are worth more than ₱20 MILLION PESOS but in his 2025 SALN, he only declared as asset firearms worth ₱2.2 Million Pesos.
Armed and dangerous na nga, unethical and liar pa?
Kasuhan ko kaya ng ethics case si Bato? 🤔

🚨 OMG!
Atty. Kristina Conti, ICC assistant counsel for victims, said that Robin Padilla helping Bato Dela Rosa escape HAS BEEN REPORTED to the ICC.
She is of the opinion that Robinhood is most at risk of violating administration of justice – Art. 70 of the Rome Statute.

MARCOLETA KAY BATO: HE RISKED 'YUNG BUHAY NIYA, WE OWE IT TO HIM
Muling idiniin ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta na walang basehan ang inilabas ng International Criminal Court (ICC) na arrest warrant laban kay Sen. Bato dela Rosa.
‘HINDI NIYO NATIBAG ANG SENADO’
This was the message of Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) following the May 13 shooting incident in the Senate.

RESPETO KAY SEN. BATO
Muling nanawagan ang kampo ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa na idaan sa mga lokal na korte ang inilabas na warrant of arrest ng International Criminal Court (ICC).
Kasunod ito ng komento ng Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) kung saan hiniling nito sa Korte Suprema na ibasura ang hiling na temporary restraining order ni Sen. Bato.
“Dito po sa Pilipinas, walang warrant of arrest against him so sa amin pong mababang pananaw, hindi po siya pugante,” saad ni Atty. Israelito Torreon, legal counsel ng senador.
CHINA CALLS THIS ‘PEACE’? CHINESE VESSELS CAUGHT OPERATING INSIDE PHILIPPINE TERRITORY AGAIN | China keeps insisting its actions are “peaceful,” yet its vessels continue entering Philippine waters to conduct unauthorized research, deploy personnel, and operate under coast guard escort inside the territorial sea of Pag-asa Island.
If Cinah truly believes these waters belong to them, then why does every move require intimidation, escort ships, and gray-zone tactics instead of transparency and lawful cooperation?
A country confident in legitimate claims does not sneak into another nation’s EEZ to gather data under armed protection.
This is not scientific curiosity.
This is strategic intrusion disguised as research.
China’s problem is simple:
the more aggressively it tries to force its narrative, the more the world sees how desperate it has become to legitimize a claim already rejected under international law.
The Philippines is documenting.
The world is watching.
And no amount of repeated intrusion can turn fiction into sovereignty.

NI-REJECT NG PILIPINAS
Hindi pinagbigyan ng Pilipinas ang hiling ng Estados Unidos na isailalim ang planong 1,619-hectare na artificial intelligence hub sa American law at bigyan ng diplomatic immunity ang U.S. personnel sa site.
Kinumpirma ito ni Bases Conversion and Development Authority president Joshua Bingcang, kasabay ng pagbisita ni U.S. Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg sa future site ng AI hub sa Tarlac.
"It will be treated as a regular business development contract. No special treatment to be accorded to the U.S.," saad ni Bingcang. | via https://t.co/95Yk9O7wUs
FILIPINOS ARE NO LONGER BUYING THE PROPAGANDA 🇵🇭 | China keeps entering Philippine waters. China keeps ignoring UNCLOS.
And while Chinese vessels push deeper into the Philippine EEZ, online propaganda networks keep trying to confuse Filipinos about what is really happening.
But last week, Filipinos pushed back harder than ever.
From Recto Bank to Pag-asa, the message was clear:
The West Philippine Sea is not China’s playground.
The 2016 arbitral ruling already exposed Beijing’s illegal claims. Yet Chinese vessels continue operating inside Philippine waters while fake narratives attempt to normalize the violations.
The world can already see who respects international law — and who keeps violating it.
No intimidation.
No fake narratives.
No illegal presence.

“ALAM N’YO NAMAN NA HINDI KO GUSTO MAGING PRESIDENT”
‘Yan ang sinabi ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte sa harapan ng mga Duterte supporters sa The Hague, Netherlands, nang tanungin ukol sa politika at sa kanyang pagtakbo sa pagkapangulo sa 2028 elections.
'MAGASTOS BUMILI NG BAGONG LAPTOP'
Pinabulaanan ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte ang usap-usapang binato umano niya ng laptop ang isang miyembro ng kanyang defense team sa kinahaharap na impeachment complaints.
"'Yung laptop ko, personal ko siyang laptop. Binili mo siya, mahal siya, and hindi ko siya itatapon basta-basta [dahil] masisira [at] magastos bumili ng bago," saad ng Bise.

'I REALLY DOUBT IT'
Duda raw ang abogado ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa na nais ng mga Pilipinong huwag nang pasuwelduhin ang senador dahil sa ilang buwan nang pagliban nito sa Senado.
"'Yun pong 'yun ang hiling ng Pilipino, I really doubt it. Ang iba lang niyan ay 'yung mga detractors lang talaga niya," saad ni Atty. Israelito Torreon sa panayam sa programang "Ted Failon and DJ Chacha" sa True FM.
