'Let The Truth Stand.' "The allegation involving the supposed delivery of a suitcase at "33 Clemente" is unsupported by any evidence and is nothing more than a fabricated accusation. These allegations are not merely false. They are malicious, defamatory, and a grave injustice against a priest who has devoted his life to serving the poor, accompanying EJK victims and their families, and defending the dignity of those whose voices are often unheard."

Alan Peter Cayetano Resign! Make it trend. Make it real. Make it happen. 🙏 #AlanPeterCayetanoResign

Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement. Mag-boycott tayo. Huwag mag trabaho. Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala. Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder. This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers… Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino. Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control. Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan. Get out of your bubble. Please.

'HISTORY WILL KNOW' Th Office of the Solicitor General asks the Supreme Court to reject Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa’s plea to stop the enforcement of the ICC arrest warrant against him over his role in the Duterte administration’s anti-drug campaign. In its comment before the high court, the OSG says the law “was never intended to provide an excuse for evasion” and warned that “no amount of technical reasoning can disguise the absence of justice.” The OSG also described Dela Rosa as a “fugitive from justice” for allegedly evading authorities and fleeing the Senate premises while under threat of arrest.

The student council of Assumption College San Lorenzo has expressed support for a petition for the removal of Sen. Loren Legarda’s portrait from the school’s Wall of Empowered Women. In a Facebook post on Friday night, the wall already shows a blank frame in a row of portraits. The Assumption Student Council’s statement came days after Legarda cast her vote for Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano on Monday. GMA News Online is trying to get a comment from Legarda and will publish it as soon as it is available. Read more: gmanetwork.com/news/topstori…

It was staged to gain sympathy

Gunfire erupted in the Philippines Senate as a lawmaker inside is wanted by authorities on charges of crimes against humanity. The shots sent journalists who were broadcasting live running for their lives. @BrittClennett has the latest. abcnews.link/3A4rAFe

zyann ambrosio's coverage TOGETHER WITH the nbi ended and exposed the inconsistencies and manipulation tactics of alan cayetano. #lamangangmayresibo

Sarap mag mura!

Whoa! Chinator @robinpadilla23 is aiding and abetting an international fugitive in addition to obstructing justice. PBBM can and should revoke his pardon. facebook.com/share/p/1DrBy76…

Shootout o palabas? It’s the morning after… and we’re realizing more and more that some details of the incident simply do not add up. First, why was Senate security already fully armed and media personnel reportedly informed in advance that an arrest might happen inside the Senate? Did they already anticipate the supposed shooting? Second, why did the Senate President immediately point to NBI agents when those same agents had supposedly been barred from entering the Senate since Monday? Wasn’t Senate security tightened precisely to prevent law enforcement officers from entering the premises and arresting the fugitive senator being sheltered there? There are more questions, and the facts don’t really add up. And if this was staged, then the script was badly written. For instance, what exactly would have been the motive of those allegedly trying to interfere with the Senate? Almost instantly, mabilis pa sa alas kwatro, our dearest Senator-Vloggers went live to amplify the narrative that “the Senate is under attack.” But under attack by whom? Certainly not by law enforcement agencies, according to both the NBI and the PNP. And for what purpose? To secretly and forcibly execute an ICC arrest warrant against a sitting senator while the entirety of this country’s media was present and watching? In fact, the motive for staging, or at the very least exploiting, such a narrative appears much clearer. The story that “the Senate is under attack” conveniently generates public sympathy not only for continuing to harbor an international fugitive, but also for once again delaying the Senate’s constitutional duty to convene the impeachment trial. Who stands to gain if the Senate is temporarily paralyzed because it is supposedly under attack, if not one of their own and their political allies? And spare us the accusation that we are merely being conspiracy theorists or watching too many teleseryes. The smuggling of Senator Bato dela Rosa into the Senate, his marathon through the stairways, the angry but triumphant return to the session hall, and the subsequent leadership coup — these are precisely the kinds of scenes Filipino teleseryes are made of. And it seems the director and writer enjoyed the first episode enough to produce a sequel. The public deserves a full and credible accounting of what truly happened. There must an immediate independent investigation. Especially when the new Senate President and some of his allies are not exactly known for having the healthiest relationship with the truth. And all of this could have been avoided if the fugitive senator had simply chosen to surrender voluntarily and face the charges against him before the international court. None of those lives, neither the journalists’ nor the Senate employees’, put at risk last night if not for the unwillingness of the former police chief to face justice. After all, has he not long dreamed in his sleep, like a frustrated scriptwriter, of a tearful, cinematic reunion with Tatay Digong? Senator Bato dela Rosa should realize that the ICC warrant will not simply disappear. It is only a matter of time before he is arrested and eventually sent to The Hague. And whatever political theater he and his allies are staging now may only make it more difficult for him to later argue for provisional release before the ICC. Flight risk, after all, is not merely about escaping arrest. It is also about demonstrating a willingness to evade accountability. And so it is with the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte. It will not simply go away. The allegations involving billions in bank transactions and the misuse of millions in confidential and intelligence funds will not magically disappear because of procedural delays, manufactured chaos, or political spectacle. At some point, the evidence will have to be confronted. And the longer they evade accountability, the more the evasion itself begins to look like an admission of guilt. youtu.be/DWlvBy_zss4?si=QEuJ…
