Following calls from families of drug war victims not included in DOJ's drug war review, SOJ Menardo Guevarra says DOJ now making arrangements with PNP to examine the rest of the 6,000+ drug operations where deaths occurred. Says PNP chief "committed to cooperate."
How many exactly will the DOJ review?
Guevarra: We’ll try to examine as many as we could. It all depends on the manpower resources that we can muster and the extent of cooperation that the PNP will extend to us.
Guevarra on review of thousands of other drug war cases: We may also consider random sampling of cases from all regions. It is possible that certain patterns may be observed without having to examine each and every case file.
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.

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.
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.
