Ang problema sa pagtanggap ng pagbitiw ng 18 pulis na diumano kasangkot sa bentahan ng droga - yung tinukoy na mga korap at mga walang kakayahan na nasa gobyerno - ay hindi naman mawari kung gaano ito kaepektibo sa paglumpo ng kalakalan ng iligal na droga. Paano eksaktong...+
...sangkot ang mga pulis na ito, anong bahagi ng supply chain sila nakasawsaw, ano ang mga iligal na bagay ang ginawa nila?
Ang buo at malalimang imbestigasyon na magtutuloy sa direktang kasuhan ay mas mainam na solusyon, at ang pagtanggal sa kanila sa serbisyo ang mas...+

Marcos, Remulla should commit to investigate the policy and the president, tokhang and Duterte
NON-COOPERATION WITH THE ICC SHOWS, WEAKNESS, DUPLICITY, AND INSULT TO VICTIMS
If the Philippine government will not cooperate in an international investigation of the “war on drugs”+
...then will President Ferdinand Marcos investigate here the policy and the president – the policy of “Oplan Tokhang” which signaled the start of bloody killings, and the role of former President Rodrigo Duterte?
Otherwise, victims of the “war on drugs” can only say that...+

Cancelling the UP-DND accord will have the greatest impact on everybody's right to speak and to peaceably assemble. All throughout the lockdown, UP campuses (esp, Diliman) have been rallying points for the biggest assemblies against terrible governance and government policies.
Because police are explicitly barred from interfering with such protests in campus, they were relegated to the sidelines, preening by the checkpoints, making entry difficult.
The UP-DND agreement doesn't really ban police or military presence inside campuses; it just kind of...

ANO ANG SILBI NG, AT DAPAT GAWIN KAPAG, MAY VIDEO KA NG CRIME SCENE?
Tatlo ang klase ng ebidensya sa korte ng Pilipinas: testimonial, documentary, object evidence. Kung may video ka ng isang crime scene, pwede itong kilalaning documentary evidence dahil record ito ng nangyari.
Object evidence naman yung cellphone na nagrecord, o kaya yung pinag-save-an (na USB, CD) ng video file.
Pulis [SOCO] lang, sa ayaw man natin o sa hindi, ang pwedeng kumuha at mag-process ng opisyal na ebidensya. Yung video na kinuha mo ay itinuturing na private document....

PAANO DAPAT MAG-SERVE NG SEARCH WARRANT ANG PULIS SA BAHAY?
1) Syempre una, meron dapat silang search warrant (SW) na pirmado ng isang judge. Dapat kumpleto at tama ang address, at partikular ang mga bagay na hinahanap.
2) Kailangang magpakilala ang pulis at ipaalam kung bakit sila nandun. Kung hindi sila sinagot o pinagbuksan ng nasa loob saka lang sila pwedeng manira ng pintuan, bintana o anuman. Ulit: kailangan alam ng nasa loob ng bahay na pulis ang dumating (unipormado) at ano ang pakay.

THREAD: PAANO KUNG PULIS ANG PASAWAY? Huwag mag-panic! Ilang paalala kapag may taong hinuli.
Kung ikaw ang hinuhuli - 1) Alamin kung bakit ka inaaresto. Itanong ang ispesipikong batas na nilabag; hindi pwedeng "ah, basta yung Bayanihan to Heal as One Act."
2) Kilalanin kung sino ang umaaresto sa iyo - pangalan, ranggo, unit o team, assignment (baka naka-patrol lang), superior officer. 3) Bantayang mabuti kung susundin ang arrest protocol. Maganda kung pamilyar ka sa tamang paraan ng pag-aresto (kung TV lang batayan mo...

What's the difference between the declaration of a state of public health emergency and a state of emergency?
These declarations of a status or condition is given to the executive, just to reflect what's happening. Ano nga ba ang nangyayari?
The Secretary of Health declared a public health emergency because there was an epidemic that threatened lives. The president now wants to declare a state of emergency, which is more sweeping than just a health emergency.
