As the legal team of FPRRD is being assembled, a lawyer from US said that the former is likely to be acquitted for various reasons:
1 Violation of Art 59, ie that the accused should have been presented to competent court (like SC or any other body of the judiciary) When mentioned before the judges, this was not answered (meaning a non observance was committed)
2. Local prosecution - none took place in the PHL. The custodial state should have conducted prior and none took place.
Former Pres. Duterte despite announcement that PNP will not enforce alleged arrest warrant by ICC was arrested after arriving from HK at NAIA. What is going to happen to the Duterte political clan?
His alleged crime - crime vs humanity in the conduct of drive vs drug menace. Now we see softening of the efforft and policemen dying now due to drug dealers striking back and fear once more has come back to the street.
There were repeated lies, ie pronouncement from leaders and publicist that the govt will not support ICC. Quite the reverse - the govt is in full support of ICC. They were not able to arrest vs Netanyahu and Putin because their minions were strong vs ICC. Trump is withdrawing support to ICC.
Somebody ratted on FPRRD?
What happens to the political powerhouse in Southern Mindanao?
Either they keep quiet and that means the end of the era? Equally hard pressed is Sarah Duterte who is facing impeachment trial when the Congress resumes after election. The force against their family is so huge that only one can guess that full resources of the govt is behind the whole debacle. And one can guess also the architect of the Martial law may be behind this scenario.
Or
They fight back and organize mass action that will see chaos in the country. Hopefully they choose 1.
Somebody out there is hell bent on controlling the political scenery and even the country's resources. Much more dangerous than open martial law.
FPRRD years back named several "alleged" corrupt congressman and DE of DPWH. Several DE were relieved by FPRRD.
Would PBBM administrationn have PAOCC investigate such Congress DPWH corruption. Is it OK to let graft and corruption go unchecked? It is the norm (billions being lost to corruption) We are financing most of our deficity through borrowing Our govt indebtednesss now stands at PHP 16 trillion
There is nothing new about the modus of our congressmen and DE. Most have become billionaires
Now it becomes clear that some of the Congressmen/women are exacting revenge.
A subtle call to arms. Mere statement that only military can stop PBBM and MTR. Will the military protect the constitution. Theh current governance is fractured, he alleges. The fomrer President called out the following (corruption allegations)
1. The the transfer of the P90 b Philphealth funds;
It is more fun criticizing
Former PNP chief ready to face ICC probe. But was surprised that PBBM did not stick to his word that ICC will not be allowed in Philippines as we have a fully functional justice system. Sen Bato, FPRRD may share the same sentiment
