WHO IS ATTY. VIRGIL LIGUTAN BEFORE THIS WEEK?
Atty. Virgil Ligutan was a pro bono human rights lawyer before being thrust into the national spotlight this week.
He helped free Bambi Beltran: an award-winning artist, writer, and recipient of the 2020 Deutsche Welle (DW) Freedom of Speech award.
She was arrested on April 19, 2020 without a warrant and was detained for 60 hours because her satirical FB post about the COVID-19 situation in Sitio Zapatera had enraged the late Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella.
Her second arrest came on August 12, 2020, on a cyber-libel case filed by an April Dequito.
The third arrest was on May 26, 2023 when police from the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Cebu Provincial Field Unit (CIDG-PFU) appeared at Beltran’s doorstep around 4 pm.
Ligutan took on the case and made sure that Bambi would get the best legal aid she could. The case has since been dismissed.
And now, he’s a pro bono private prosecutor for the House of Representatives still fighting for human rights and accountability in the impeachment trial of BP Sara Duterte.
👏👏👏

Si Padilla, wag tataasan ng boses. Magtatampo.
Si Bato, wag tatanungin. Magagalit.
Si Cayetano, laging kakamustahin. Iiyak.
Mga pa-victim!
Bumaba na talaga ang kalidad ng mga senador sa Pilipinas!
Sen. @loren_legarda, u are indeed a POLITICAL PROSTITUTE.
Nakakahiya at nakakadiri ka. Matatapos ang Political career mo na wala kang iniwang DIGNIDAD at PRINSIPYO sa bansang Pilipinas.
Maaalala ka namin na isa kang mas MABAHO pa sa BASURA.
When a child reaches the point of turning away from their own mother, it often signifies years of pain or hurt that became too heavy for them to bear. No child easily abandons a parent without a reason.

: “Yes?”

@joketerte30 Yan kasi ang pamantayan ng mga kulto members ng pagiging matapang at totoong tao. Nakaka-identify sila dyan. At ang tingin nila sa mabubuti at matitinong tao ay freaks. Astig ng isip nila no. Isip kulto
Nakakapagtaka: Ayaw magpaliwanag sa confidential fund, hindi effective sa opisina nya, iwas sa debate, sa pagmumura at pagbabanta lang magaling. Pero gustong maging presidente. Pero mas nakakapagtaka: hanga sa kanya DDS. Naiangat ba nya mga buhay nyo? Ano kayo, KULTO?!!
