Duterte says he doesn't have a problem with ABS-CBN supposedly taking his money for his ad or publishing something about her daughter's involvement in drugs. Accuses ABS-CBN of billions in unpaid taxes, including for equipment, land.

FACT CHECK:
business.inquirer.net/301458/abs-cbn…
LIST: The many times Duterte ranted against ABS-CBN (not exclusive list) but look at the varying reasons he cited. From swindling over unaired ads to supposedly trying to dismantle oligarchy. Now he cites billions of unpaid taxes, refuted in Senate and House hearings.

READ how House franchise panel discussed ABS-CBN's alleged non-payment of taxes despite BIR tax clearance. Says "BIR Tax Clearance does not mean absence of fraud or tax liability." Read more: "POSSIBLE na magkaroon ulit ng tax liability."

House engaging in the realm of possible?
In case someone brings up DBP issue, here's the truth--

Dr. Edilberto De Jesus, a research fellow at the Ateneo School of Government, says Pres Rodrigo Duterte failed to deliver on his campaign promises of solving crime, corruption and illegal drug trade in PH within 2016 because it was "completely unrealistic."

#SONA2021
If campaign promise to end crime, corruption, criminality in 6 mos was completely unrealistic, why did Filipinos fall for Duterte's promise? De Jesus says PH was in better position in 2016, people were hoping he would continue progress but we're slipping.

De Jesus on Sen. Manny Pacquiao's corruption allegations vs Duterte admin: "I have to say that the statements of Sen. Pacquiao are damaging because he has been a strong supporter of the President and this criticism, it must hurt the administration."

Is Metro Manila prepared to deal with the #COVID19 Delta variant? #ANCRundown spoke to MMDA Chair Benhur Abalos Friday morning. He enumerated plans and existing steps taken. He also explained why Metro Manila mayors think children should again not be allowed outdoors.

So our desperation pays off. Amnesty International SecGen, former UN special rapporteur Agnes Callamard will be on ANC's Top Story in a few minutes to comment on ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda's move to seek probe on PH drug war.

Tune in!
Dr. Agnes Callamard tells ANC Top Story Bensouda's move is an important step. Not worried that ICC won't be allowed to step inside PH saying ICC has enough experience in that regard. Warns international search warrant will be released against govt officials found responsible.
Callamard says evidence is strong enough to demonstrate crimes against humanity has been committed, that there is widespread, systematic attacks and it is State policy. Very difficult for ICC not to proceed with investigation.

Supreme Court orders Marcos associate Herminio Disini to pay the Republic of PH 1 billion pesos in temperate damages and 1 million pesos in exemplary damages over his role in the award of the US$2.2B Bataan Nuclear Power Plant to Westinghouse Electrical Corp.
Disini was held liable for exerting undue influence in the award of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, taking advantage of his close ties with former Pres Ferdinand Marcos. He was accused of receiving US$50M as commission.
SC discarded photocopy as proof of Disini’s supposed US$50M commission but considered totality of documentary and testimonial evidence to conclude he unjustly enriched himself because of the deal.

On #ANCRundown this morning, we talked to Atty Ruben Carranza, senior expert at the International Center for Transitional Justice in New York about ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda’s move to seek judicial authorization to probe the bloody PH drug war.

Carranza says ICC has ‘sufficient’ basis for full probe into PH drug-war killings, citing Prosecutor Bensouda's 57-page request which he says was "detailed and heavily supported by facts.”

news.abs-cbn.com/spotlight/06/1…
Carranza says Bensouda’s move is “extremely significant.” If request for probe granted, ICC investigation could lead to individuals being named by the ICC Prosecutor to be charged while the Pre-Trial Chamber could issue summons or even warrants of arrest.
