ALL TALK! Duterte technically not taking responsibility as claimed In several instances during his presidency, Former President Duterte assured the police and other enforcement officers that he will take full legal responsibility for his orders in his bloody War on Drugs. In the recently conducted Senate Blue Ribbon committee hearing and even today in the House Quad Committee hearing, he has been saying that: that he is taking full legal responsibility for the legal and illegal repercussions of his orders. I remember in a press conference, the Senate President Escudero asked how can the Former President execute this statement. Is it safe to assume all these statements in support of the police and other law enforcement agencies are just mere words? That my citing “guilt is personal”, in reality he cannot really take the full legal responsibility. I wonder how many of our police took comfort with the fact that the Former President Duterte has their back? Iniwan ba sila sa ere? I appreciate the interpellation of Rep. Rodge Gutierrez, he laid out the fact that to claim he's taking full legal responsibility and insisting that “guilt is personal” are two very conflicting statements. All talk, no weight, huh? Former President Duterte left the policemen involved in the War on Drugs hanging. Also, the House Quad Committee just showed the Senate how it’s done!

SARA DUTERTE TARGETS AKBAYAN, RISA HONTIVEROS IN IMPEACHMENT CRITICISM WATCH: Vice President Sara Duterte says the Akbayan party-list has no credibility in endorsing an impeachment complaint against her, claiming that no evidence were attached to support the allegations in that complaint. She also cites a portion of the 2024 speech of Sen. Risa Hontiveros, who is associated with Akbayan, wherein Hontiveros said that Duterte is supported by China. "Hindi malinaw kung ano ang ipinaglalaban nila para sa kaayusan ng bayan, pero napakalinaw ng kanilang pamumulitika at pagpapahirap sa usaping diplomasya ng ating bansa," Duterte says. Akbayan party-list Rep. Perci Cendaña is one of the endorsers of the second impeachment complaint against Duterte filed by a group of civil society and religious leaders on Feb. 2. The Makabayan bloc supported the first impeachment complaint submitted by the progressive coalition Bagong Alyansang Makabayan.

‘THIS IS NOT A LAUGHING MATTER’ WATCH: Sen. Risa Hontiveros abolished attempts on Monday to turn the Senate’s drug war probe into a laughing matter. This, after Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada jokingly asked why Rodrigo Duterte was not panning his head towards left. Duterte was seated only one seat apart next to former Sen. Leila de Lima. “Hindi ho kayo tumingin sa kaliwa. Nagpapansinan na ba ho kayo ni [ex] Sen. Leila de Lima?” asked Estrada. To which Duterte replied, “Wala [na]mang maganda riyan, dito lang.” At this point, Hontiveros quickly interjected, ending attempts to make the inquiry a laughing matter. “Lead us in setting the tone; this is not a laughing matter.” Estrada said he was only trying to lighten the mood. | Charie Abarca

Duterte did say that he takes full legal responsibility for his War on Drugs. Thanks for making the job of the ICC much easier, Digz! 🤣 "Yes, because I ordered the campaign against the drug syndicate. At kung anong ginagawa nila, whether illegal or not, ako ang nag-uutos. In that sense, I take that responsibility of their actions. Wala akong magawa eh, commander ako, nag-utos ako, puntahanin niyo ‘yan."

'If you think you might die, shoot. Shoot in the head, kill them.' At least one less criminal in the community—that was my order." -Former President Duterte Wait! What?! Did the former President Duterte just confirm and reiterated his order to kill under oath? The whole opening statement of the former president took me back to the dark days of the former administration, when the front page of newspapers were full of “nanlaban” stories and countless deaths. Please know that the statements made under oath in any congressional inquiry are admissible courts for whatever legal action in the future. As the president then and the chief in command, former President Duterte reiterated the line we’ve heard before: "I take full legal responsibility sa lahat ng nagawa ng mga pulis pursuant to my order” … honestly, and maybe we should. Despite the thousands of lives lost, the former President shows no remorse and offers no apologies. #NoMoreDutertes #ExposetheDutertes
