“So hindi lang ‘yung laki nung halaga na PHP125,000,000 ang unusual. Unusual din na ‘yung ganyang unusual amount ay sa cash kinuha at hindi sa mga cheque?”
“Opo”
hahaha sen risa put that on record #VPOnTrial
@princeofBicol@N0041081872824@TheSitRepPH susmaryosep!🤦♀️ kahit si Google kayang masagot na matagal nang may pondo, panahon pa ni PRRD (total is ₱51 Billion!) kumpirmado yan.
When Sen. Pia Cayetano delivered her "Kontra-SONA" speech, only Senator Risa Hontiveros chose to stay and listen. All the other senators, aside from Pia's close allies, left.
Kahit palagi siyang inaaway ni Pia, Risa still chose to show her respect.
'PARA HINDI MALIGAW ANG PUBLIKO'
#SaraOnTrial: House prosecutor Rep. Chel Diokno on Saturday, July 25, issued a statement addressing a Facebook video posted by Sen. Pia Cayetano, saying he wanted to provide the "context" and his complete remarks from the exchange during Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial.
Diokno disputed the characterization of the prosecution's subpoena request as a "fishing expedition," saying such a description would apply only if they were merely hoping to find evidence.
"Linawin ko po: Hindi tayo nagbabakasakali lang," he said, adding that the prosecution's request was based on Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) records that allegedly showed billions of pesos passing through the accounts of Duterte and her husband.
He said the prosecution sought the bank records to determine whether they were consistent with the AMLC findings, stressing that such records could only be obtained through a court-issued subpoena.
"Ngayong may subpoena na para sa bank records ng Bise Presidente, magagamit ito ng magkabilang panig para patunayan ang kanilang kaso," Diokno said, adding that the evidence would allow the senator-judges to decide the case based on the full record.
With all due respect to the Senator-Judge at para hindi maligaw ang publiko, ito po ang konteksto at kumpleto na sinabi ko:
“(Ang fishing expedition) ay maaaring sabihin nating nangyari kung only if the party requesting the evidence or documents ay nagbabakasakali lang, baka may makuha tayo dito.”
Linawin ko po: Hindi tayo nagbabakasakali lang. May probable cause o sapat na dahilan na nakita sa mga record ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) tungkol sa bilyun-bilyong dumaan sa accounts ng VP at kanyang asawa.
Hiningi natin ang bank records para makita kung tugma ito sa sinasabi ng AMLC reports. Tandaan: Ang bank records ay maaari lang mailabas kapag may utos o subpoena mula sa korte. Ibig sabihin, kung nabuksan ng Kamara ang mismong bank records bago ang trial, paglabag yan sa karapatan at due process ni VP Sara Duterte.
Ngayong may subpoena na para sa bank records ng Bise Presidente, magagamit ito ng magkabilang panig para patunayan ang kanilang kaso.
Sa ganitong paraan, makakapagpasya ang mga Senator-Judges batay sa kabuuan ng ebidensya.
'DI PASISIIL SA TSINA
Itinuloy ng Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) at Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) ang fuel subsidy mission para sa mga mangingisdang Pilipino sa Bajo de Masinloc ngayong Huwebes, July 23.
Ito'y sa kabila ng pangha-harass umano ng China Coast Guard.
China shamelessly disregards evidences of bullying just like it denies all the wrong doings?
There are recurring videos of China Cost Guard harassing vessels of smaller nations especially Philippines.
It is plain & simple that China doesn't care about peace. @leisbeth_recto
‘WALANG HIYA TALAGA!’
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. on Thursday stressed that China has no right to interfere with Philippine activities aboard the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal, while refusing to confirm or deny Beijing’s claim that alleged construction activities violated a supposed provisional understanding between Manila and Beijing.
“Wala silang pakialam kung ano ang gawin natin sa teritoryo natin. Hindi nangangahulugan na kinukumpirma ko ang isang bagay o hindi kasi nilalagyan nila ng salita ang bibig natin, eh… Ang sinasabi ko, wala silang pakialam,” Teodoro said in an interview in Makati City. | via @biancadava
FINALLY! Finally, finally! Someone in the proceedings finally stated that the absence of "hiring of a hitman" and the lack of her words turning into something more concrete is immaterial.
Dir. Matibag stating that it was consummated the moment the words were uttered was much needed in this proceedings.
It's easy to mock the person fighting for your rights—until those rights are the ones protecting the people you love.
Salamat sa lahat ng to Ma @risahontiveros , kahit minsan di naappreciate ng iba.. ❤️
Grabe yung backfire nung AI video na unggoy sa China. Super rare lang na dumistansya ng China sa mismong propaganda ng mga state-run media nila gaya ng China Daily.
The fact na dinisown mismo nila yung sarili nilang propaganda means nasaktan sila sa pagpalag ng Pilipinas. There are reports na baka palitan din si Ambassador Quan.
Wala tayong palag sa Chinese military pero dito actually nadadali at talo ng Pilipinas ang China. Super effective ng PR natin na i-expose yung harassment nila sa West Philippine Sea.
Sobrang sensitive ng Beijing sa global image nila kaya gigil sila manakit ng sundalo sa Ayungin Shoal para i-try na baliktarin yung narrative na sila talaga ang biktima.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet are soaking up the joy of summer, surrounded by beauty, love and fun !
So many incredible core memories for them to treasure 🥰
Walang nasayang sa pagboto kay senator Chel Diokno. Kasama yung sa akin doon.
Wala akong binoto sa mga nag-iingay at nagmamagaling sa floor. Masaya ako para dun.
Cheldren are proud of their senator.
