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.
#Accountability
Ipapaalala ko lang po ang sinabi ni Mayor Vico Sotto:
“Hindi lang sila basta naglalaglagan, gusto nila magulo ang kwento. Gusto nila lituhin tayo. Gusto nila na di na natin malalaman ang totoo.”
"These are people who are really capable of lying without batting an eyelash."

when the duterte administration shutted down abscbn during the pandemic and thousands of its employees lost their jobs, ano ngang ginagawa ng mga dds? yes, they mocked abscbn. tapos ngayong namomock yung drama nung isang senadora, galit na galit sila?
kya itigil nyo ung drama nyong minomock ang trauma ng iba. kasi the families of the alleged ejk victims & the thousands of abscbn employees who lost their jobs, they also went through VERY traumatic situations.
I really dont care what side of the political spectrum you're on.
If a public servant can't explain where billions went, then that's everyone's problem. It's as simple as that.
I am and always will be proud for supporting her— not a fan btw
And hearing her words sa kabila ng mga nangyayari ngayon, kailangan nating marinig 'to at ipaalala na minsan tayong nagkaroon ng pagkakataon para ipaglaban ang kapwa natin pilipino.
Good Governance sa 2028!
STOP LABELING US AS PRO-MARCOS JUST BECAUSE WE REFUSE TO SUPPORT THE DUTERTES. HINDI KAMI PANATIKO NG KAHIT SINONG POLITIKO NA GUSTO NIYONG GAWING “SUPERHERO.” ANG IPINAGLALABAN NAMIN AY HINDI PANGALAN NG PAMILYA O APELYIDO—KUNDI ANG KAPAKANAN NG PILIPINAS. KAMI AY MAKA-PILIPINO.
@inquirerdotnet yung proximity ng senate never naman nawalan ng security, so bakit may ganyan? also, bakit NBI ang kinontact, hindi ba dapat ang PNP muna since "situation" happened. you are obviously painting the NBI in a bad light. this is obviously orchestrated.
