If Baste Duterte can afford to spend 20,000 euros per night in Ibiza --- they can afford to pay for their defense team's catering service!

In RAGE coalition rallies, you would hear Baste Duterte fake his accent to mimic his dad. A relatable "masang bisaya" or something of that sort.

But while the supporters of their father spend hard earned money outside the ICC mourning -- Digong's kids already moved on! Kitty Duterte also go on trips like Thailand to do the same thing. Party!

Ask anyone who's been in Ibiza to party, the 20,00 euro table per night is just the beginning of a lavish vacation. You also go to that bar to hire high-end prostitute.

Well, mga supporters lang naman ang naniniwala sa "simpleng buhay" ng mga Duterte.

Robin Padilla is a disgrace.

He is not a disgrace though because of his ignorance.

He is a disgrace because he is arrogant about his ignorance.

Remember the uni students that filed a complaint against San Miguel Corp at the RTC for the tree cutting in Quirino Ave & Roxas Blvd?

The’ll be at the Supreme Court later, and they need you.
Because SMC argues that lower courts like RTC can’t issue environment protection orders.

If you think the people in our government cares about the environment, Gina Lopez was kicked out from being the DENR secretary by 16 over 8 votes against her.

Within 10 months in her post, she closed 23 mining operations, banned open-pit mining and shut down half of the country's mining companies.

Unfortunately, members of the congressional committee decided to remove her, as some of the 16 members who voted are connected on the mining industry, which explains why most of mining operations resumed after Gina Lopez got fired.

This is one of the most disgusting examples of our politicians prioritizing their personal interest over environmental welfare.

If only Ma’am Gina Lopez were still here, ano kaya ang magiging situation ng environment natin ngayon? Baka mas marami pa sanang lugar ang naprotektahan, mas mahigpit ang laban para sa kalikasan, at mas may boses ang mga komunidad na naaapektuhan.

Falcis is clever.

[Marlon ESPÑ 🌍 @MstrCrab888]

Next challenge for the Supreme Court:

SUSPEND all other lawyers like ROWENA GUANZON, FERDINAND TOPACIO and of course, SARA DUTERTE for use of VULGAR LANGUAGE as well.

HWAG SANANG SELECTIVE. Not defending Falcis kasi mali naman talaga, even Gadon. Bakit sila lang pinarusahan?!

[Thea Tan @imtheatan]

The Supreme Court handed down a one-year suspension to Atty. @jesusfalcis.

His offense? A 2018 tweet where he fiercely defended his brother by using vulgar language (“Paky* kayo mga g*ga”!).

The High Court ruled it as simple misconduct and declared that the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) strictly mandates lawyers to maintain dignified language, even on personal social media accounts.

Okay, if the baseline for "dignity of the profession" is THAT strict, how on earth is Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also a lawyer, still holding onto her law license?

If we are talking about actual violations, her verbatim, public receipts are entirely unhinged.

Let us enumerate some:

1. Sara Duterte didn't just casually throw bad words around.

In her streamed press briefings, she completely abandoned any shred of professional decorum and screamed on live broadcast:

“P*tang ina mo BBM! P*tang ina mo Liza! P*tang ina mo Martin! P*tang ina ninyong lahat!”

“Binastos pa nila sa pagsisinungaling nila na kesyo taksil, kesyo corrupt, abusado. P*tang ina ninyo, sino ang corrupt?”

2. Let's NEVER forget when she was a city mayor and an active member of the bar.

Instead of upholding the law, she literally used a court sheriff as a human punching bag!

She grabbed him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head on camera just for executing a lawful court order.

Kagalang-galang yarn?

3. She openly admitted on live television to hiring an assassin to target the country's top leaders if a supposed plot against her succeeded:

“I’ve talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, don’t stop until you k*ll BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke."

4. She casually bragged during a press conference about threatening to desecrate a former president's remains:

“Isang beses, sinabihan ko talaga si Sen. Imee. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hindi kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko 'yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea!”

5. She publicly detailed her thoughts of extreme physical violence against the sitting president:

“I wanted to remove his head. I realized the relationship was already toxic... [I] just imagine myself cutting his head."

An ordinary attorney gets a one-year suspension for typing profanities on Twitter to protect his sibling.

Meanwhile, a high-profile lawyer and the sitting Vice President can publicly brag about hitmen, look at a camera to detail cutting off the President's head, threaten to dig up a former president’s corpse, physically assault a court sheriff, and scream “p*tang ina ninyong lahat" on live broadcast with zero professional consequences!

Hello, IBP? Ano na?

The CPRA allows you to initiate disbarment proceedings motu proprio when a lawyer's misconduct is THIS flagrant and very public!

The rules apparently apply to everyone except her.

Time to strip her of that license!

It has been apparent na hirap na hirap ang Duterte alliance and their trolls this time. MAY PANGIL NA KASI ULIT ANG MEDIA. This demonstrates the vitality of press freedom na nawala noong panahon ni Duterte.

FREE PRESS IS OFFICIALLY BACK, AND IT IS MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN EVER.

[Pilipinas Today @PilipinasToday_]

“The man is a social risk. Give him public office, power and political influence. He will not see these as instruments for public administration. He will see public service only as a front to shift to the gratification of ego. In time he will silence dissent and consolidate absolute power.”

Ito ang mistulang babala na bungad ng kolum ni Antonio J. Montalvan II sa VERA Files na inilathala kahapon, Mayo 18, kung saan binalikan niya ang mga ginawa ni Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano noong Oktubre 2020 nang tumanggi itong isuko ang puwestong House Speaker sa ka-term sharing na si Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco.

Ayon kay Montalvan, para ma-delay ang pinagkasunduan nila ni Velasco na term sharing sa House speakership, sinuspinde ni Cayetano ang mga sesyon sa Kamara at inaprubahan ang 2021 national budget kahit nasa second reading pa lamang.

Patuloy na sinuspinde ni Cayetano ang mga sesyon hanggang sa kalagitnaan ng Nobyembre dahil ang 15-buwang termino na napag-usapan nila ni Velasco—may basbas ni noon ay President Rodrigo Duterte—ay magtatapos ng Oktubre.

Kalaunan, ipinakandado ni Cayetano ang plenary hall, ipina-shut down ang kuryente, at ipina-disable ang WiFi para lang hindi magkaroon ng sesyon, na maaaring magbunsod upang mapalitan siya ni Velasco sa puwesto.

Sa huli, naideklara rin si Velasco bilang bagong House Speaker makaraang mag-convene sa isang hiwalay na sesyon ang kanyang mga kaalyado.

“If all these sound familiar from the skullduggery we saw at the Senate last week, we must ponder on it no more. Alan Peter Cayetano is a dangerous man, a very sick man,” pagtatapos ng kolum ni Montalvan.

Alan Peter Cayetano’s law school batchmates are calling him out for enabling a constitutional crisis.

Sabi nila, stop power-tripping the Senate, face the Ombudsman, and quit shielding Bato dela Rosa from the law under the guise of fake "protective custody."

Literal na tinuruan siya ng separation of powers, pero bakit anyare sa memory natin, gurl?

Fiat justitia ruat caelum.

Nakakahiya, no? Sinusuka ka ng law school batchmates mo. Si Loren din, tinanggal din ang portrait sa alma mater. Nakakahiya as in.
