Senator Pia Cayetano— A textbook example of a moralising hypocrite and a sanctimonious moralist. Pia Cayetano is the first sitting lawmaker to face a formal Senate ethics complaint for spreading altered media while actively serving as a Senator-judge in a constitutional impeachment trial. Her situation is legally and historically unprecedented in several ways: — Breach of the impeachment oath having compromised the strictly mandated impartiality of an active Impeachment Court. — Splicing official Court proceedings having deliberately manipulated the Senate's own official trial records. — Direct violation of the sub judice rule for using social media to troll a prosecutor and distort active testimony while the case is ongoing — Violation of the new lawyer’s code (CPRA) for handling digital disinformation. Nothing undermines one’s moral authority more than expecting truth and accountability from others whilst being criticised for sharing social media content that amplified false or misleading political narratives. A public official who circulate questionable information does not merely damage her own credibility— she risks eroding public trust in democratic discourse itself. Her conduct during the impeachment proceedings against Vice President Sara Duterte only reinforced that perception for many observers. Her questioning was widely viewed by many as more protective of the respondent than reflective of impartial scrutiny. Her attempt to lecture Chel Diokno— despite his decades of litigation experience, academic leadership having been a law school Dean, and constitutional expertise— struck many as unwarranted arrogance rather than reasoned advocacy. The same dismissive attitude extended toward colleagues who are not lawyers, as though legal credentials alone conferred a monopoly on wisdom. This arrogant and fake-news-peddling Senator must be expelled and disbarred.

This is Davao City the other day, a city purportedly the safest in the Philippines. Criminalities on a daily basis. Ironically, it is the same city where many people have either disappeared or killed. The same city where women were either raped or abused, consistently highest with such incidences. A city where the former mayor and self-confessed abuser of women would say, “dapat mauna ang mayor.” This is the same city where drugs are found or raided by a functioning police organisation independent of the mayor’s control, much to the dismay of the current city mayor. The same city where a Vice President comes from and recently criticised the national government for not using its intelligence fund effectively. This is the same city whose current mayor is a useless, good for nothing uneducated fool and a destabiliser.

Congressman Pulong Duterte, do you ever feel bothered by your conscience seeing the people of Mindanao losing their lives and suffer in the way they do, year in year out because of flooding? When you took the P51 billion from the taxpayers’ money during your father’s failed administration, under cover of the stench of thousands of deaths and the dying from the Covid19 pandemic, did you and your father not not think about the ordinary people of Mindanao and elsewhere who has been suffering from the corruption your family brought into the nation of 115 million Filipinos? Your father, the inutile Rodrigo Duterte, knew of the corruption that has plagued the country for so long. But he was to tell the nation later— “there’s nothing I can do.” Instead of fighting it as he promised, he not only joined the criminal enterprise— he became the figurehead and centralised his government’s criminal operations, thereby optimising his grip on power and influence. Funding for flood control projects were not only stolen and manipulated, he entrenched and consolidated people into positions of power and influence, himself as the kingpin. Under his regime, flood control projects fund scams flourished and made its heyday. He became the very symbol and protector of corruption he sought to overcome. Fast forward in the middle of the impeachment trial against Vice President Sara Duterte, we witnessed her thick-skinned Chief of Staff Zuleika Lopez, callously declaring— “prepare for Typhoon Inday” as if the tragedy is not enough. On its latest, Typhoon Inday killed 5 people and 6 others missing in one location alone in Maguindanao for a total of 17 deaths and 9 missing in the Visayas and Mindanao which bore the brunt of the deluge. And it’s only just the beginning, there are many more destructive typhoons to come. And whilst Mindanao and the Visayas was suffering, the Dutertes were either gallivanting or busy politicking; their fanatics sowing destabilisation against the very government that exposed their evil deeds. What a state of affairs of Mindanao and its supposed leaders!

The best and most brutally scathing warning yet from Senator “Bossing” Erwin Tulfo, directed towards the pathological liar, Allan Peter Cayetano. And you can take that to the bank! “Bibitbitin kita! Kukwelyuhan kita! Papalayasin kita dyan sa floor na yan! Because I am the legitimate Blue Ribbon Chairman!” “I will have you arrested.. Try me, magpa-hearing ka ng Blue Ribbon uli. I don’t care if you were a Senate President or Speaker of the House, I don’t give a fu..! The son-of-a-gun Senator Allan Peter Cayetano has been issued a warning. He either will choose to take a shot at it and risk being collared and dragged out of the Senate hall, or chicken out and become a blogger, a senate blogger.

Senator Pia Cayetano proudly brands herself as a champion of women and OFWs. Yet when confronted in 2018 about Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial kiss of an OFW— a moment that many women found degrading— she refused to give a straight answer. The OFW’s husband would have watched horrified as the carnal Duterte, a self-confessed abuser of women, stuck his tongue out and into the mouth of of the OFW who just had to close her eyes shut and unable to do anything. That is the Cayetano brand of politics: loud about principles when it is safe, silent when it matters. Pia and Allan preach morality and accountability, yet conveniently look away when their political allies cross the line. Their righteousness is nothing more than selective outrage wrapped in sanctimony.

The short and sweet answers of Madam Claire Castro. The President has really found a gem in you, Undersecretary. It may be premature to say, but let me be the one— the future Senator will do very well. She will give every Duterte-aligned Senators a rough ride once elected into the chamber.

Former Senate President Sotto just schooled the new Senate President Cayetano, along with his Senate Majority Leader who led the coup at the Upper Chamber. Sotto laid bare the abuse of discretion and procedures committed by the new leadership in citing contempt charges against the NBI agents tasked to serve the arrest warrant for Senator Bato dela Rosa on charges of crimes against humanity. Sotto cautioned the new Senate majority of such breaches on the use of contempt discretions outside of current protocols having been issued after the NBI agents were seen chasing down the fleeing Senator Bato inside the Senate premises.

The bloodthirsty Duterte Death Squad member, ex-Captain Dado Clemente reveals his murderous intentions and that of his group. It is no secret that he was and is part of the Duterte killing machine. With his pronouncements to indiscriminately murder people defending President Marcos and his administration, he must be treated a suspect and pursued with vigour. Every single one of these murderers must be pursued, regardless of who they are and those behind them.

“He has lost his sanity.” — Erwin Tulfo, referring to the disgraced former Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano. Cayetano has not only lost the respect of many of his Senate colleagues; he has gone from being the functionally shortest-serving Senate President, with virtually zero legislative achievement to his name, to facing allegations of obstruction of justice for assisting the escape of a fugitive from the law. Now, he is also confronted by serious corruption allegations, with no less than his own brother among those who have called for an investigation into flood control projects in his bailiwick of Taguig City. According to Senator Panfilo Lacson, the evidence he gathered has been turned over to the Ombudsman for appropriate action. Should the evidence establish criminal liability, it could lead to charges of conspiracy to commit plunder, among others.

Rowena Guanzon: a scourge of our modern society. Please help us spread awareness of this disgusting and contemptuous behaviour of one called Rowena Guanzon. The public display of such arrogance and uncivilised conduct should never be normalised in our modern society. This is the typical behaviour of a DDS fanatic normalised by the Duterte family. The tragedy is that the same kind of impertinent behaviour now pervades our society and among our children. This is the contribution of the Duterte family and that of their supporters in a nation fractured by politics and impunity. The vulgarity and impertinence exhibited by Rowena Guanzon in public and inside a privately owned shopping establishment, should be more than enough for the victims and the mall owners/ administrators to sue for public scandal and libel damages. How do we correct a problem called Rowena Guanzon and her primitive behaviour?

Another day, another scripted production from the Vice President Sara Duterte’s camp. This filmed walk-out of Attorney Poa and the defense team after submitting their pre-trial evidence was not legal advocacy, but was a political theatre. A staged zarzuela designed to generate media mileage and victimhood narratives. The irony is that despite years of image laundering, message control, and carefully managed optics, even fake news peddling, the Vice President remains hounded by allegations involving corruption, confidential funds, and misuse of public resources. Again, her PR team and handlers doing very poorly. Public relations can edit videos. It cannot edit facts. And no amount of choreography can outrun accountability.

Some people are just born liars. And often they come from the same DNA too! Where in the world do you see the supposed witnesses in a Senate investigation becoming the personal bodyguards and protection of the very Senators investigating them? They have made the Senate chamber a scene of spectacle with a bogus Blue Ribbon Committee hearing led by the ex-BRC Chair with the shortest stint, and her sibling charged with obstruction of justice and who is equally the shortest cumulative Senate President since 1953. They were aided by another Senator charged with bribery and plunder. The result was a total waste of people’s money. The work they did was illegal and unconstitutional.

An ominous warning that something unpleasant or threatening is about to happen. This is Attorney Zuleika Lopez, the Chief of Staff of the Office of the Vice President Sara Duterte suggesting a menacing or foreboding atmosphere is yet to come. They bring destruction. They bring waste. They don’t really care who and what lays on their way. The tragedy of it all— their families are fed by the taxes of the Filipino people.

An abusive Senator Cayetano berating the former OSAA Chief General Samonte, even infront of the glaring public at the Senate Hall. This are the shorter and longer videos in the session hall taken at different angles after the attempted serving of arrest warrant against the fugitive of law, Senator Bato dela Rosa on charges of crimes against humanity under the ICC. Bato repeatedly berates the journalists and the public asking legitimate questions. We then see the coup-installed Senate President, Allan Peter Cayetano castigating General Samonte infront of the public. Cayetano then had General Samonte removed and replaced by Retired General Mao Aplasca a day after. An interesting note is that Aplasca and Bato were classmates and close friends during their time at the PMA. Two days after taking over the OSAA, Mao Aplasca showed his abusive nature by accosting and attempting to arrest a law enforcement agent from the NBI when he does not have the right to do so. He fires his long firearm repeatedly 17 times towards the agent and a blue guard detailed at the adjacent GSIS building. Currently, General Aplasca, ex-convict Senator Robin Padilla, and the abusive and lying son-of-a-gun Senate President Allan Peter Cayetano are now Persons of Interest by the NBI for aiding and abetting the escape of a fugitive of the law, Senator Bato dela Rosa.

True to form, the disgraced former Senate President and pathological liar Allan Peter Cayetano returned to the Senate with a promise to disrupt and destabilise the impeachment proceedings on his first day. He repeatedly engaged the Senate President to the annoyance of the majority Senators who called for the settlement of the issue, rem expedire. The Senate President Win Gatchalian, obviously taking note of the repeated attempts by Cayetano to disrupt and out him into a corner, refused to be bullied and ignores Cayetano’s pleadings repeatedly.

Senator Marcoleta has been found out manipulating the direction of the flood control project scandal probe by having the Discayas be put under the Witness Protection Program of the DOJ early and without correct procedures in order to steer away the spotlight from the clear involvement of the Duterte administration and some Senators he is protecting. Bear in mind, it is during the time of Duterte where the Discayas and their companies were most active and was in fact the top Contractors between 2016-2022. Marcoleta is a novice Senator and is already showing craftsmanship in manipulation and misdirection to protect his political patrons. You are a stinking corrupt politician, Senator Marcoleta!

If you want this destabiliser investigated, arrested where warranted by law at the soonest time, and charged with the appropriate offenses, please like and repost. Let us call upon the government and the competent authorities to enforce our accountability mechanisms with urgency, impartiality, and resolve—without fear or favour against those who continuously undermine our institutions, sow division and disorder, and seek to wrest power from a legitimately elected President. Their actions have become increasingly clear. He arrogated unto himself powers and authority that were never his to exercise. He worked in concert with a purported Blue Ribbon Committee that lacked the proper authority of the Senate, in an attempt to bastardise established institutions and lawful processes. They came dangerously close to succeeding once again. We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this serial destabiliser, his network of corrupt political allies, and their 18 delivery syndicates. We likewise condemn the Cayetano group of opportunistic politicians whose overriding objective is the acquisition of power, the preservation of impunity, and the protection of personal and political interests at the expense of institutional integrity and the rule of law.

This flood control funding Senator and his colleagues are enjoying the food paid for by the people. Strangely, they were supposed to be on a lockdown but are indeed enjoying food and the limelight as they went on live broadcasts individually at the height of the Senate lockdown. He cites the law referencing the attempted arrest of the now-fugitive Senator Bato dela Rosa by NBI operatives following declassification of the ICC warrant for his arrest for crimes against humanity. Villanueva cites article 145 of the RPC involving parliamentary immunity. What he conveniently omits is the fact that there is an exception: — The penalty does not apply if the lawmaker has committed crime that is punishable by a penalty higher than prision mayor (6-12 years imprisonment) if found guilty). As for Bato and Duterte, 30 years to life imprisonment is staring at them if found guilty. They twist the law to protect their own kind and support impunity.

The time for action is now! We demand with urgency for the government to arrest the former President Rodrigo Duterte! We demand with urgency for the government to arrest Senator Bong Go! We demand with urgency for the government to arrest Senator Bato dela Rosa! We demand with urgency for the government to arrest everyone else who led and masterminded the extra-judicial killings committed by the Duterte administration! We also demand the government to extend the necessary protection for the former Police Colonel Royina Garma and preserve her life as one of the most significant witnesses against Rodrigo Duterte, Bong Go and their circle of murderers. At this time, the Filipinos have nothing but anger and the strongest call yet for accountability against these murderers. In a startling testimony before the House Quad Committee, former Colonel Royina Garma has directly implicated former President Rodrigo Duterte in orchestrating extrajudicial killings (EJKs) during his administration. According to Garma, Duterte personally directed the creation of a national task force aimed at replicating the notorious “Davao Model” of anti-drug operations, which incentivised police officers to kill suspects through a reward system. These revelations are seen as some of the most damning evidence to date, as Garma's affidavit describes how Duterte, along with Senator Christopher "Bong" Go, played key roles in overseeing the execution of these killings. Garma detailed how she was instructed by Duterte in a 2016 meeting to identify a police officer to spearhead this campaign, ultimately selecting Colonel Edilberto Leonardo. The task force, with roots in Duterte’s brutal anti-drug policies in Davao City, expanded nationwide, and the reward system was tied explicitly to police killings. These operations, which targeted both street-level suspects and prison-based syndicates, were allegedly coordinated with the knowledge of Go, who handled operational reports and financial reimbursements. After much introspection on her actions taken and the decision to spill the beans on Rodrigo Duterte and Bong Go, Garma stated that she is now “afraid of my life, my relatives, my friends and my classmates…”. This should bring the government and the Congress QuadComm to ensure that her life and that of her family are preserved at all costs. This explosive testimony has ignited calls for accountability, with human rights advocates urging the government to act swiftly in bringing charges against Duterte, Go, and other implicated officials. The evidence presented by Garma has intensified the demand for justice for the thousands of Filipinos who fell victim to state-sanctioned killings during Duterte’s "war on drugs." The government is now under immense pressure to pursue legal action and demonstrate its commitment to the rule of law. The Filipino people’s calls for justice grow louder, and the international community is closely watching whether the current administration will deliver on the promise of accountability for these grave human rights violations. The time for action is now, and the demand for the arrest of Duterte and his accomplices has never been more urgent. #ArrestRodrigoDuterte! #ArrestBongGo! #ArrestBatodelaRosa!
