Kahapon, 257 Kongresista ang bumoto para i-impeach si Vice President Sara Duterte, habang nagkaroon naman ng rigodon sa Senado.
Ngunit may isang bagay na hindi dapat gumalaw: ang Konstitusyon.
Kahit sino pa ang nakaupong lider ng Senado, mahigpit na babantayan ng publiko ang proseso ng impeachment. The House has done its job. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to fulfill their duty under the 1987 Constitution to forthwith convene as an impeachment court once the articles of impeachment are transmitted to it.
Ang impeachment ay para tiyakin ang pananagutan ng mga pinakamataas na opisyal at para protektahan ang sambayanang Pilipino.
HINDI PORKET GALIT SA DUTERTE AY PRO-MARCOS NA! WALANG WINNER SA DALAWA TANGINA PAREHONG PROBLEMATIC! PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE CRITICIZING POLITICIANS MEANS AUTOMATICALLY WORSHIPPING THEIR OPPONENTS! DAMI PA RIN TALAGANG BOBONG PILIPINO.
Here is the unsealed (public) ICC warrant against Bato Dela Rosa. It considers the same crime as Duterte, crimes against humanity in the acts of murder. But in his case, ICC prosecutor will pin him down for the death of 32 persons between July 3, 2016 until end of April 2018.
The difference now is, hindi na pwede yung symbolic act at sa EDSA uli ang punta. Iba na ang national imagining sa kalye na iyan. It has to be in their faces. No more dilly dallying and taking the high road ekek, no more ambiguous actions. Directed na dapat squarely at them.
Oh but please none of those weak-ass peaceful rallies na. At the rate of how evil spreads in the government, we're waaaayyyy past peaceful rallies.
These assholes need to be reminded where power is really coming from.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS:
The International Criminal Court has unsealed and publicized the warrant of arrest for RONALD MARAPON DELA ROSA aka Bato.
Arestuhin mo na yan Jonvic Remulla with PNP Chief and NBI.
Or else be fired by PBBM and replaced by Sonny Trillanes! 👊

VP SARA, SEE YOU IN THE IMPEACHMENT COURT.
Ngayong araw, nagdesisyon ang Kongreso: 257 mambabatas ang bumoto para i-impeach si Vice President Sara Duterte.
Ngayon, tungkulin ng Senado na tuparin ang mandato nito sa ilalim ng Konstitusyon: to convene forthwith as an impeachment court once the Articles of Impeachment are transmitted.
Share this video kung naniniwala kang walang dapat lusutan pagdating sa pananagutan!
The Cayetano-led Senate will give international fugitive Bato Dela Rosa all courtesy, rights, and privilege that the Senate failed to give Leila de Lima and Antonio Trillanes when the Duterte regime was persecuting them for opposing Duterte's bloodshed.
The irony nga naman.
When states drafted and approved the Rome Statute, they explicitly included a provision that official capacity and immunities that come with it are irrelevant when it comes to criminal responsibility before the International Criminal Court.
#DutertePanagutin#BatoPanagutin
had to reactivate this account to say fuck you dutertes and the 13 senators na traydor at hindi naman talaga para sa bayan at kayong mga dds na salot sa lipunan
⚠️ Leila De Lima was arrested inside the Senate while it was NOT in session.
⚠️ Trillanes was arrested inside the Senate while it WAS in session.
✅ There is no impediment against arresting Bato Dela Rosa.
International law is part of the law of the land. 👊
#ArrestBato
If a senator in the Philippines has a warrant for arrest, can the Senate protect him and not turn him over to the authorities?
Constitutional Immunity vs. Privilege
The Constitution provides a privilege from arrest, not absolute immunity.
Article VI, Section 11 states: "A Senator or Member of the House of Representatives shall, in all offenses punishable by not more than six years imprisonment, be privileged from arrest while the Congress is in session".
Limitation: If the offense carries a penalty of more than six years—such as the serious crimes against humanity alleged in some reports—this constitutional privilege does not apply.
EH CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY ANG KASONG KINAKAHARAP NI BATO! WAG NIYO ITAGO DIYAN SA SENADO.
MGA MAMBABATAS NA SUMUSUWAY SA BATAS!
The House successfully impeached VP Sara Duterte again. And the nation awaits the Senate to do their constitutional duty to proceed with the impeachment trial forthwith. As we speak, more than three million Filipinos from across the country already signed (and still growing!!) calling for the constitutional process of impeachment to freely proceed. A fair warning to the Senators, including the new leadership, that millions are watching. Respect the Constitution, start the impeachment trial now!

Hindi lang si Sara ang nais nilang pagtakpan, kaya nila sinipa si Sotto at ipinalit si APC.
Kasama sa 13 bumoto pabor sa pagtanggal kay Sotto ang TATLONG DDS SENATORS NA SANGKOT SA FLOOD CONTROL: CHIZ, JINGGOY, JOEL.
Gusto nilang ilibing ang Blue Ribbon report sa flood control.
