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.

DIAGONAL THAT DELIVERS. Outstanding performance by Otsuka and Tomita. #VNL2026

[b ♡ yuki @bibiyuki__]

but ykw im so happy seeing how much japan’s 2nd stringers have improved, especially this VNL!! iirc every time they’ve been subbed in because the main stringers weren’t delivering, they ended up turning the match around when it looked like japan would’ve lost 😭 likeeee it didn’t use to be this way!!

[Eng subs] Tatsunori Otsuka post-match interview:

"I believe this victory is possible cos everyone, not just the players on court, but also those on the bench and the entire staff, kept fighting until the end without a single person giving up."

[nari 🪄 @oikakee]

THEY WONN 😭😭 redemption match for kento who took the lost very hard that he teared up in interview, for otsuka who regretted he didnt have enough trust, to be subbed in earlier, for tomita who wasnt chosen in the roster, for eiro & all the harsh words he had to endure 🫂

The Clutch Kings 🇯🇵👑

Japan's victory over Canada, they extend their mind-blowing undefeated streak to 10-0. But the real story is in how these teams handle the ultimate pressure of a 5th set.

Japan has won 6 five-set thrillers. Even more insane? 5 of those were consecutive five-set wins! When games go the distance, Japan’s stamina, defensive scramble, and ice-cold transition plays make them look unbeatable. 🔥

BIASED ANG IMBESTIGASYON?

Tinanong ni Defense Counsel Mark Vinluan si National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) regional director Atty. Jeremy Lotoc kung mayroon umanong bias ang kanilang imbestigasyon laban kay Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.

“Considering the structure involving the NBI, DOJ, and Office of the President, don’t you think that there was bias against VP Sara?” ayon kay Vinluan.

“Our investigation is evidence-based,” sagot ni Lotoc.

NBI CHIEF INVESTIGATOR REJECTS DUTERTE’S FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION CLAIM

WATCH: NBI’s Jeremy Lotoc, who led the investigation into Vice President Sara Duterte’s alleged threats, rejects the argument that she was merely exercising her freedom of expression.

“If we allow that to become the norm of our society then who would prevent anybody from doing the same to anyone… Imagine the anarchy, disorder, and chaos,” Lotoc says. | @eimorpsantos

PAANO KA HINDI KAKAININ NG SISTEMA?

In his commencement speech to the graduates of UP Law 2026, Mayor Vico Sotto shared that he is always asked by people how he keeps his integrity. They ask for his advice on the age old question of:

“Paano kami hindi kakainin ng sistema?”

As a result, he shared ten things he does or thinks about regularly to avoid being eaten by the system.

Here are the TEN THINGS that Mayor Vico Sotto does or follows to keep his integrity:

1. Preparation is more important than courage.

2. Make a list of non-negotiables and review them regularly.

3. When in doubt, choose faith conscience and integrity over money power and ambition.

4. Study cognitive dissonance and continuously identify how and where it affects you. Your decision-making and opinion-forming.

5. Get out of your echo chamber from time to time.

6. Check your ego every single day.

7. Have people in your life who share the same or similar principles, values, and beliefs.

8. Allow said people in #7 to keep you grounded.

9. Give these people the license to hold you accountable.

10. Have a healthy level of respect but also be willing to go against the status quo.

Then the crowd cheered in applause. 👏

———

I support doing all ten but I would like to personally highlight Numbers 3, 6, and 7! 💯
