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.

Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. reacts to a report that he and his family have allegedly been barred from entering China.
“Wala akong assets sa China at wala akong balak pumunta doon. Gusto ko man dumalaw dahil masarap ang pagkain at mababait ang mga tao, pero natatabunan ito sa klase ng gobyerno na meron sila,” Teodoro tells reporters in Cagayan de Oro City.
The reported move allegedly stemmed from the May 15 raid on Philippine Sanjia Steel Corporation in Misamis Oriental, where 69 Chinese nationals were found handling harmful or noxious materials. | via @biancadava
