Why is the AFP, PNP and the NTF-ELCAC keep losing its cases in court? (A THREAD) 1. Favorite nilang ikaso ang firearms and explosives kasi mas madali imbentuhin at itanim during wee hours kung kailan nila sinasagawa ang raid. Saan ka nakakita, na-recover daw sa lagayan ng maruming damit ang granada.

Ilan sa mga kasong ikinatalo ng NTF-ELCAC sa kabila ng walang humpay nilang red-tagging sa mga aktibista: 1.People vs Agovida and Bartolome (ACQUITTED)
2.People vs Maga (RTC decision of conviction REVERSED by CA)
3.People vs Bautista, Nasino and Moran (Review on certiorari GRANTED)

Galing ako sa urban poor community na ito sa Maynila last week. Na curios ako at nagtanong sino ang napipisil nilang kandidato, yung kausap ko sinabi na "BBM po dito eh", tinanong ko kung may pwede ba akong makausap na BBM supporter. May nahanap akong dalawang lalaki 1/n Ang isa 30 y/o at buong pamilya nila ay BBM. I asked why. Sabi niya, "yung tatay niya kasi madaming nagawa. At tsaka kung totoong magnanakaw sila, bakit di pa sila nakukulong?" Legit question. Pinakinggan ko lang siya. Yung mas matanda naman, ang sinabi sa akin, pa undecided siya

HOW DANGEROUS ARE SEARCH WARRANTS FROM ARREST WARRANTS? (Thread)

Kung mang-aaresto ang mga awtoridad ng isang indibidwal, kailangan ng WARRANT OF ARREST. Hindi ito hinihingi lang basta sa korte. Lahat ng kasong sinasampa ay dumadaan muna sa piskalya at inaalam niya kung may sapat na batayan/dahilan (probable cause) para sampahan ng kaso ang isang tao sa korte. Preliminary Investigation ang tawag sa prosesong ito.

Why are activists often charged with illegal possession of firearms and explosives?
(A thread) The case of illegal possession of firearms is separate from illegal possession of explosives. Illegal possession of firearms is bailable and illegal possession of explosives is non-bailable in nature.

HERE'S WHY REINA MAE NASINO SHOULD NOT BE IN JAIL IN THE FIRST PLACE
(A THREAD) Reina Mae Nasino and her two companions Ram Carlo Bautista and Alma Moran, were arrested at the office of Bayan-Manila in Tondo during wee hours of November 5, 2019 while they were sleeping.

TW: Today we received news that Ina Nasino's daughter could not possibly make it. 3-month old Baby River is confined in the hospital for pneumonia since Sept. 24. She's black & blue now & seemingly just waiting for her detained mother to visit her. 1/4 Baby River is critical now at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at PGH. Ina gave birth on July 1 and was forced to be separated from her baby on August 13 when the court denied her request to be with her daughter for 12 months so she can breastfeed her.

Since the violations and threats of violations are getting imminent by the day, let me give a know-how of our rights against unreasonable search and seizure and what a search warrant actually looks like. (Thread) First, our Consitution provides for safeguards against unreasonable search & seizure and it is enshrined in Art. 3, Sec 2 of the 1987 Phil Constitution:
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures

Matapos ko mapanood ang dokumentaryong Aswang, gusto kong ibahagi ang personal na karanasan sa mga aswang noong pinaslang si Kian Lloyd Delos Santos. (thread) Isa sa mga highlight ng drug war ni Duterte ang kaso ni Kian. Bagong pasa ako noon bilang abugado. Matapos ang pamamaslang kay Kian agad kaming nagpunta sa bahay nila sa Caloocan. Hindi makausap ng maayos ang pamilya delos santos,pero nangako ako ng taos-pusong tulong.

HERE'S ANOTHER REASON WHY YOU NEED TO OPPOSE THE ANTI-TERROR LAW. THESE ABUSIVE OFFICERS KNOW NOTHING ABOUT RIGHTS:
This afternoon, two police officers--one represented himself as LBC courier and another one in plainclothes went to our office purportedly to serve an arrest Bakit hindi niyo muna isampal ang sarili niyong manual sa mga mukha niyo bago kayo gumawa ng kabalbalan para ma-remind kayo sa dapat niyong gawin?

Under art. 125 of Revised Penal Code, you can be detained max of 36 hrs w/o charges for capital offenses, but w/the ATL, it's 14-24 days. We can't entrust the enforcement of this law to trigger-happy authorities, especially under the current admin & his successors. Here's why: Here's Rolly Panesa, an innocent man, a simple security guard working in a hospital in QC. On October 6, 2012, while on his way home with his wife and the latter's daughter and son-in-law, men in plainclothes forced them into 2 vehicles. They introduced themselves as policemen.

WHEN YOU THINK THAT THIS GOV'T HAS REACHED THE PEAK OF MISOGYNY AND PERVERSION, HEAR THIS OUT: This is Ina Nasino's mother pleading before the Supreme Court to release her daughter who is about to be a mother next month. She's detained in overcrowded Manila City Jail (thread) Ina was arrested together w/ two other activists Alma Moran and Ram Bautista in Bayan-Manila office, in the middle of the night WHILE THEY WERE SLEEPING. The police planted firearms and explosives in their rooms that caused their immediate arrest.
