JUST IN: DOJ panel of prosecutors indicts Kerwin Espinosa, several others for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act over the alleged Eastern Visayas drug trade. ImageImage
Indictment of Kerwin Espinosa, 10 others were based on their extrajudicial confessions about their participation in the illegal drug trade. Although some recanted, the DOJ panel of prosecutors found their recantations insufficient. Image
Note that there are no drugs seized here as DOJ prosecutors relied on SC ruling in the case vs. detained Senator Leila de Lima that in conspiracy to commit illegal drug trading, it is not necessary to present the drug itself. Communications were deemed sufficient. ImageImageImage

BREAKING: Comelec has awarded F2 Logistics PH the P1.61B contract for the delivery of automated election system-related equipment, VCMs, ballots and other supplies, Commissioner Marlon Casquejo tells ABS-CBN News.

F2 Logistics is linked to Dennis Ang Uy’s Udenna.
Casquejo tells ANC Rundown: “Well, just this morning, the award has already been given to them. They were most qualified as the bidder for the deployment. They just got the award of the contract.”
On Monday, Comelec chair Sheriff Abas said he instructed the special bids and awards committee to check the qualifications of F2 Logistics Philippines, Inc. over concerns it is owned/affiliated with an ally and a 2016 major campaign contributor of President Duterte.

An Oxford Univ study last wk raised concerns about vaccine efficacy vs. Delta variant.
Prof Sarah Walker, chief investigator/academic lead of UK’s National COVID-19 Infection Survey, clarified their study found 2 doses of Pfizer/AZ still give good protection vs Delta.
#ANCRundown
The UK study shows that efficacy of Pfizer vaccine vs Delta, while initially higher than AZ, wanes faster such that by the 4th-5th month, they have same effectivity.
Says no immediate cause for concern because it still offers good protection but they will look at it carefully.
Prof Walker says too early to say if Pfizer's efficacy rate will wane further or stabilize in next 2-3 mos. Will its efficacy totally wane so that booster shots will be needed? Don't know yet. But not getting jabbed still biggest risk for getting COVID.

Ff reports she ran away from her family, Alicia Lucena surfaces to accuse her parents of forcing her to go home in April and detaining her for months. Her mother Relissa Lucena claims Anakbayan kidnapped her but she calls her mother “abusado, nagmamaltratong ina”/NTF-ELCAC agent. ImageImage
Alicia laments “inhumane conditions” while staying in their house. Says her room looked like a “bartolina” where she was confined. It was locked at times and there was no toilet. Since there was no restroom, she was given an “ihian ng pusa” where she could relieve herself.
Alicia insists there’s nothing wrong in her decision to join Anakbayan.

The DOJ has junked kidnapping, other raps filed by her mother Relissa against Anakbayan officers, Rep. Sarah Elago and ex-Rep. Neri Colmenares.

SOJ Menardo Guevarra defends President’s position on COA audit reports, saying his chief concern is the way COA’s “preliminary findings” are presented to public and impression it leaves.

Ex-COA Commissioner Heidi Mendoza: Audit reports are final.

Guevarra says government agencies generally exert effort to comply with numerous auditing rules and regulations but are hampered by tedious process of collating, submitting documents. Says COA has expressed willingness to review, simplify reqts, without sacrificing safeguards.
Guevarra adds that while he understands people's indignation over perceived misuse of funds during a period of public emergency, he says govt agencies should be given time to address and rectify deficiencies noted by COA before being judged for their accountability.

NOW: Stratbase ADR Institute holds townhall meeting looking back at the legacy of the late former President Benigno Aquino III.

Most of the speakers are former Cabinet officials of PNoy.
Ex-DFA Sec Albert del Rosario says that while the 2016 arbitral award in the South China Sea was the centerpiece of the Aquino administration, it is the "hallmark of shame" for the Duterte administration -- the "treasonous" policy of setting aside the award.
Del Rosario: In this coming 2022 elections, you must vote for leaders who will put Filipinoos first before China.

A QC court has quashed search warrants vs alleged NDF members/CPP leaders Alexander and Winona Birondo which led to their arrest in July 2019. Judge Ferdinand Baylon found that search warrants issued by QC Judge Cecilyn Burgos-Villavert were issued without probable cause. ImageImageImage
The Birondos were among NDF consultants released on bail in 2016 at the start of peace talks between PH govt and NDF under the Duterte admin. But they were rearrested soon after peace talks collapsed, charged with illegal possession of firearms and explosives.
QC RTC Br. 77 found that in 1 of 2 search warrant, Judge Villavert failed to ask searching and probing questions as to inconsistencies in statements of primary witness who claimed to have seen a grenade inside the Birondos' room in his affidavit but did not say so in testimony. ImageImageImageImage
