Ang pagbalahura, slut-shaming at pagpakulong kay De Lima. Ang pagpatalsik kay Sereno. Ang guilty verdict kay Maria Ressa. Ang pagpasa ng Anti-Terror Law. At ngayon naman, ang pagbasura sa ABS-CBN franchise renewal.
Hangga’t may mga mambabatas tayong nagpapagamit, Korte Sumpremang sunud-sunuran lamang, militar na nagbubulag-bulagan at business community na walang pakialam, lalong lalaki ang ulo at sungay ng dyablo sa Malacañang at lalong lulubog ang bansa natin.
Tandaan sila. Mga tuta. Mga accomplices at enablers. Spineless sycophants. Yung mga tahimik at tumatahimik lamang. Tandaan ang mga ginawa nila at hindi ginawa.
Too late, too little and too weak. That’s how I describe the DOJ-led panel that purportedly reviews the police killings in Duterte’s so-called war on drugs. [1/21] 
The formation of that inter-agency team was announced by Justice Secretary Guevarra, as the representative of the Philippine government, in response to the reports and statements made during the ongoing 44th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC). [2/21]
Too late. The move is nothing but Duterte’s last-ditch attempt at throwing a monkey wrench to derail the work of the UNHRC and the International Criminal Court (ICC), through its Prosecutor, which are both being nudged by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights [3/21]
The doors of domestic accountability for Rodrigo Duterte and his co- conspirators may have been closed, but the windows of international scrutiny have remained open.

I wholeheartedly join the 31 UN human rights experts in their collective call for the creation of an independent investigation into human rights violations in the Philippines.
This clamor came in the wake of the Report of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, which she submitted on 4 June 2020 pursuant to Resolution 41/2 of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) that was adopted a year ago.
