  1. Reminder to Duterte after ONE YEAR from election

    Since Duterte’s favorite actor and idol is Clint Eastwood, his administration so far is typically and literally a Clint Eastwood picture.

    THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY—– Classic B Western movie that made Eastwood Hollywood genre

    Duterte: THE GOOD- Promise to get rid of drugs, eliminate drug lords and eradicate crime

    Duterte: THE BAD- Duterte failed to recognize that the drug lords and pushers were politicians and policemen

    Duterte: THE UGLY- in his first days in office he proclaimed and promised to protect, defend and promote policemen involved in drug war killings

    Abuse and Impunity by policemen with EJK is the tangible result of Duterte administration after one year

    ANY WHICH WAY- sketching, charting or figuring Duterte’s policy on paper appeared plausible BUT it would never become successful because the crime fighters and perpetrators come from the same LOOSE stable, policemen( bold letters make another Eastwood movie title)

    After one year of Duterte administration all accused policemen are still assigned desk jobs in Camp Crame without one single conviction nor incarceration while Duterte is heard singing in the shower, “My Promise to You”

    He he he

  2. Another proof of police abuse and impunity to be recorded by UN human rights

    Last April 26, 2017, Engr Wilgelmo Galura was arrested by PNP drug operatives for stashing drugs in his house. Police in their report claimed that they raided a drug den in Pampanga when Galura ran to his house to hide. Police pursued him then claimed they discovered illegal drugs stashed in in his house. Unbeknownst to the police Engr Galura has CCTV inside and around his house. Galura was not caught on camera running to his house but the police we’re ith a woman walking towards his house, then called him to go home. His in law and maid were closeted inside a room, ransacked and robbed the place and PLANTED EVIDENCE. When Galura arrived he was arrested.

    VACC has already filed a formal complaint against the operatives for planting evidence. CCTV footage were safeguarded as proof of the illegal acts of the operatives.

    To top it all, PNP men did not have search warrants and were caught on camera ransacking the house and planting evidence.

    Alan Cayetano should come back from Geneva immediately to claim that police abuse and impunity reports are to be blamed on the media for fictions of imaginative reporters

    He he he

    • Another evidence to document ICC case against Digong, Bato,Aguirre, Cayetano, Panelo, Locsin and company. The documentations against the Head Murderer and his accomplices/enablers just keep on mounting day after day..It would be a sight to see them convicted and hung…

      • he, he, he, if cayetano still got a functioning brain cell left, he’d stay in europe and apply for asylum.

        • also, I wont be surprised if the men that recently bombed quiapo are pnp, mga tauhan ni bato now delivering parcel bombs. dumb bato sabi two bombs delivered kuno dahil the 1st maybe, was given to the wrong person, and the 2nd was maybe to ensure the right person gets it. susma, the govt spends billions of money on intel just so bato can answer in maybes.

          ako, hindi polis, yet knew that terrorists always planned on having secondaries, the 1st bombing is not just to hurt people but to attract attention as well. and the 2nd bomb is to hurt even more people: those coming in to help, the paramedics, the crime scene people, and bystanders coming in to have a closer look. they’d all be caught in the secondaries. more mayhem, more chaos, more casualties.

          kaso, the bombers in quiapo medyo nagtipid yata, binulsa ang pera and less money was spent on making the bombs. causing not big enough damage, he, he, he.

          apologies po to those hurt.

    • Wow!

      But do hard solid evidence still matter in this administration when they can always get what they want?
      President Du30 himself has said that he is willing to go to jail for whatever he has done. And certainly there are enough reasons why he should be there.
      But it is too much to expect that he will go to jail on his own volition and lock himself up. He will not go to jail on people’s mere overwhelming desire and witty potshots.

      Notice how many of PDu30s decisions are almost acts of contempt of the people made to insult and mock them, rubbing their helplessness and powerlessness in their faces.

      The ball is clearly in the hands of people who oppose him to do what is right and to do what must be done – peacefully, non violently.

      It is not the fault of PDu30 that people are cowards, self absorbed, indifferent or incapable of getting and working together .

      It is his luck.

  3. “YOU KNOW DEEP INSIDE THIS WONT BE THE END OF THE PROBLEM”..(13:45)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atuqx5Ubr5o

    While Senator Cayetano was making a speech in UN claiming respect for human rights on
    Duterte government’s war on drugs this BBC documentary at 13:45
    sums best the truth that Duterte and his tribe are using killing as a means to terrorize opposition not solving a problem nor respecting human rights,,.

    • that’s what they want us to believe that support for digong’s killing spree is strong. if that is indeed the case, why then is he facing impeachment? why is there continuous reiteration of surveys after boring surveys that is he still supported? why is digong being taken to icc?

      digong’s facade is crumbling.

  5. Sen Alan Cayetano is soooooooo stupid, if not dumb!
    He said before UN human rights meeting: “Killings are not happening because of the campaign against illegal drugs. Près Duterte has maintained a culture of respect on human rights”

    Who is going to believe him? When Duterte himself proclaimed
    that “drug addicts are not humane”
    that “he is ready to kill 3 million drug pushers and addicts like Hitler”
    that “he is ready to defend and promote policemen who kill those who resist arrest”

    It should have been Duterte who should have faced th UN human rights meeting and agreed to be interpellated or debated by members of participating UN nations. The same way he wanted to debate UN rapporteur Callamard if she investigated human rights violation in the Philippines.

    Whatever lies the Philippine delegation spilled in Geneva, their voices would be futile because the message of Duterte to kill drug pushers/addicts is recorded by media. Their alibis to persuade the members will fall on deaf ears.

    Since Duterte assumed office, More than 2000 people unsolved killings remain without justification or charges. Police could not explain their circumstances. Cayetano attributes it to politics. it never happened during Aquino administration. So simple logic- Duterte encouraged the killings and impunity by PNP personnel by promising to defend and promote the involved policemen.

    Who could refute these facts?
    1. Mayor Espinosa killed in jail by police
    2. Manufactured drug charge on Korean businessman killed by police
    3. Arrested alleged drug pushers/dealers imprisoned in secret jail by police
    4. Innocent 2 children killed by police after raid in family house

    Cayetano said: “one killed on drug war is too many”. These are 4 facts of killings directly related to police abuse or impunity. Cayetano is crazy to defend Duterte’s vision on extrajudicial killings

    He he he

    • All of Cayetano’s good man goody two shoes image is now off Payatas dump; now consumed of his overpowering desire to elevate his status, but it fell flat with his obvious sucking up. People knows and can sensed but just too indifferent to care.

      Was he the honored Rene IPIL here at that time actively explaining the blunder of GPoes candidacy for not being a Natural Filipino born? I had a minor clash with him about my comment on second class citizenship abt an article in the US, and about the DSWD hiding the children during the pope’s visit. He elicited such arrogance , eh yun pala sya yung two timer entity , downing GRACE and secretly uplifting Duterte.
      And who has recently having fight with the reporter in the INQ questioning his citizenship when he became a senator? A chameleon second rate copycat.

      • ako rin, in my previous avatar before hacks got to it, nagkasagutan din kami ni rene-ipil who was so admiring of singapore and putting pinoys down as never will be as good. singapore kuno is not in awe of the marcoses and highly critical of pinoys for allowing the marcoses back in power. well, sagot ko, the singaporeans are much like pinoys. while pinoys let the marcoses back in power, the singaporeans are also sucking up to the marcoses, their economy further boosted by the billions that imee marcos invested there. singapore willingly accept imee’s investment never mind that it was dirty money stolen from the kaban ng bayan. kapag pera ang paguusapan, singaporeans are not much different from pinoys. and to oversee her investments in singapore, imee once got herself a singaporean boyfriend.

        and look where cayetano’s taguig is now? the place is plying host to apo bangkay. at one stage, before digong got elected, I said to rene-ipil that there’ll come a time when he’d be holding imelda’s hand and standing at attention while the apo is lowered to the ground. he, he, he, I was not far off the mark then.

        lately, cayetano’s wife, lani mercado, tweeted that imeldefect has died. sayang! false news pala and the tweet was deleted. these days, imeldefect looks more dead than alive at medyo nagdidilaw na ang balat, a sign that her organs are working against her. soon they’ll stop working all together.

        • he, he, he, I liked the way cayetano walks these days, parang aso with tail tucked between his legs, nabayagan yata! lost the springs in his steps ang demeanor niya. his ears, his feelers are all up, but eyes cast more down that usual. nothing to look up to. methink, cayetano knew well and truly that he’s lying, but gotta play the role given to him, else wala siyang trabaho. gusto pa naman niyang maging dilg chief and be influential. gotta beat bong bong marcos and stay close to digong, de bale na kung utusan lang ang labas niya. in the senate, cayetano lost out to dickless gordon, also lost out to pimentel, one more strike and cayetano is 3x unlucky.

          being close to digong did not help cayetano, and lying to cover up for digong in geneva only serve to get cayetano travel points and travel mileage, that’s all.

          also, cayetano did not have it easy in geneva, gascon and few from chr opposed and debunked him. the war on drugs cost the lives of many.

  6. DESPERATE ACTS OF DU30 AND HIS TRIBE?

    The Presidents men are scrambling to rescue the President with the visit of Ms. Callamard.

    how do you explain a problem like EJK to the world when you have

    1. secret jail in Tundo

    2. children hit by bullets of drug addicts killers

    3. scholars shot for mistaken identity

    4. Korean kidnapped by police and killed inside Police headquarters

    5. Mayor drug suspect killed by police inside the jail

    6. A Senator of the Republic and prominent critic of President Duterte jailed on fabricated charges by using as witnesses convicted drug lords

    The increasing incidents of bombing indeed reminds one of Marcos tactics. Du30 and tribe seemed to be in a hurry para matigil na ang mga opposition…tsk tsk

    • hic, kung ako si callamard, I’d accept digong challenge for debate but impose my own conditions, namely: that de lima be one of the adjudicators, as well as ban ki moon, ex-sec of united nations, and few others. that the debate be televised live , attended by international media and broadcast around the world. that digong must speak fully in english, not mince his worlds, no swearing, and must undergo drug test, etc. conditions as per conditions, if digong is to have 14 conditions, then callamard is going to have the same number of conditions. hic, kampai!

      • wow, tama ka dyan…global audience is what is needed kung talagang may bayag si Digong..

        the thing is he’s a genuine coward hiding behind his immunity and powers and intimidations and banking on support of China and russia, marcoses and arroyo and now binays…he cant even refute Trillanes on the bank account by waiving his bank deposit privacy hehehe…obvious na kinabahan kay Callamard…at the end of the day Digong is as corrupt as the company he keeps and a plain murderer fit for Bilibid

  7. Maiba ako … tonight there was reported 2 bomb explosion sa Quiapo. This kinda remind me during Marcos time where bombs were kinda common all over and blamed on the NPA. So could this be? …. I hope hindi naman sana

    • what is the well connected mayor of manila doing? erap ought to stop twiddling his thumb and look around the mayoralty, quiapo specially. he should not let bad elements rule the day. just recently, erap celebrated his 80th birthday attended by digong, imelda marcos, bong marcos, binay, bong go, and other higher profiles. tapos, right under his nose, bomb hub na ang quiapo, akala mo birthday cake na pinasabog. do something, erap.

        • I think, people should stop paying taxes if the govt cannot do its job of keeping peace and order. these days, it’s more like piss and disorder. aside from lying, those entrusted to govern are thieving.

          impeach digong! the longer his piss (peace) talks with the rebels drags on, the more the rebels are pissing, pissing na sila sa kamaynilaan at sa kabisayaan, creating their brand of chaos: pay up big, or risk being bomb.

          rebels words cannot be trusted, but if your name is digong and you’re the president, rebels are friend and their lies are to be swallowed. impeach digong! he does not know how to govern, he, he, he. he cannot be forever hiding under mocha loca’s skirt and sucking up to imee marcos, smiling at gloria arroya and purring at imeldefect, hic. kampai!

  9. Lies covered by Lies

    Duterte’s press Sec is covering his lies with another lie.
    First he claimed that Callamard visited the Philippines “UNANNOUNCED” When Callamard replied that she did, Abella said that “Yes we knew she was coming but we asked her to reconsider”

    Yo, Sec Abella, Was the trip announced to you or unannounced?

    Another Schmock is Ambassador to UN Ted Locsin. Instead of presenting evidence that Callamard did not inform th Phil govt of her trip or present the letter that Abella said that Callamard was asked to reconsider her trip, Locsin was attacking Callamard’s personality. Locsin the quintessential misogynist attacked Callamard as “stinky” for poor appearance and lack of daily shower”

    When you think Tito Sotto is a bad misogynist comes Teddy boy whose opinion of women is so disgusting.

    When you can’t defend, Attack the messenger. Familiar tactics of Locsin

    He he he

      • ted locsin is not cerebral enough to go toe to toe with calamard, kaya locsin resorted to using the weakest form of attack. calamard is not a beauty queen. still, I admire her figure, she is not obese and fits into a little girl’s clothes. but, it’s her brain that I admire the most.

        maybe, ted locsin has not heard of elizabeth the 1st of england who showered only once a month! yet, elizabeth the 1st of england defeated the spannish armada and bankrupted the kingdom of spain. beware of stinky women, they packed such a punch, he, he, he.

    • Too personal, and coming from a high ranking govt official, that should be a no no. They’re held to a higher standard but what could anyone do!? Must have learned from the boss.

      • Ted Locsin has smelly moral standard. Just high fallutin. A sewer dweller has higher standard of morals than Locsin. his opinions in ABSCBN online, mainly dumpsite reject values.

        Wonder why ABSCBN keeps him?

        He he he

  10. I hope Ms Raissa will not be influenced by Atty Panelo regarding his political views OR worse – his fashion sense!

  11. maybe, it’s my eyes, but I like raissa’s new hair color – reddish brown? suits her.

    anyhow, saw on t.v. the old old map of pinas going back 17th century with mostly spannish writings was also unveiled at carpio’s book signing. the old mapa will be gifted to digong kuno, the map showing na pinas was already cognizant of our peripheries na sangkot ng las islas pilipinas. kaso, my not so funny bone said and baka digong will in return, gift the map to his chinese masters. for them to burn, cook, or add to their own chinese map just so it can be said that part of imperial china ang mga peripheries natin.

    uhm, yong chinese ships that docked in dabaw on goodwill bwesit, bisit, uhm, ugali ng chinese yan to bisit and then stay gaya ng ginawa nila yan sa shoal. the chinese stayed and did not leave and then started building infrastructures. the way the chinese are now building infrastructures in dabaw and soon, cebu. and all digong can do is smile and welcome his chinese friends.

    and all the while, abu sayyaf is busy enlarging base, encroaching visayas region na sila. the kapolisan is also joining the fray, extorting money from druggies. las islas loca pilipinas, hu, hu, hu. if the top man is mad, the rest goes mad.

  12. Panelo is second official LIAR of Duterte. First is Sec Abella whose latest LIE was telling the press that UN rapporteur Calamard did not notify the Philippines on her current trip to Manila. Callamard belied Abella saying instead that she officially notified Phil govt last April 27, 2017 by showing a letter officially received by Phil official.

    Third official LIAR of Duterte is Sen Alan Cayetano. He is in currently in Geneva presenting facts on drug war about human rights. He said in the UN meeting : “there were 9342 killings in the Philippines from the FIVE YEARS TERM OF AQUINO ADMINISTRATION AND 10 MONTHS OF DUTERTE”. It seems that Duterte was responsible only for a meager fraction of the killings.

    What Cayetano did not reveal was the recent PNP official report of those killed in Duterte drug war. The report stated that there were more than 7,000 homicides/murders with around 3,000 unsolved cases attributed to EJK.

    It’s not an honor to meet an OFFICIAL LIAR of DUTERTEbecause he is a TRAITOR to the Filipino people

    He he he

    • with his wooden face, si cayetano ay nagpapahoy-pahoyan sa geneva, already doing damage control so early in digong’s rehimon. would have been better had cayetano presented pinoy ambasadorial staff in viena, talking and backing him up on statistics. on his own, cayetano is wimpish.

      pls lang po, I think, pres aquino stayed the full term, 6yrs of presidency as opposed to the 5yrs mentioned.

      • he, he, he, I would like to give cayetano a fisted salute straight to his face! kapaw!
