                                                         NOT IN A HUNDRED YEARS

So sorry to rain on your parade, but Rodrigo Duterte ain't coming back in a hundred years (and I'm being kind not to hurt your mindless fanaticisms), and will be spending the remaining years of his life behind bars with Bato dela Rosa and who knows who else? Other than that, Sara Duterte will be impeached and will be prohibited from running for any elective post. This also means that Baste Duterte won't be doing good his threat to bomb Ilocos Norte and stop the drug trade there. If you ask me, the only drugs I was able to buy in Batac and Paoay were blood thinners (aspirins) because of a random visit to that familial town.

                                         THE POLVORON VIDEO IS AN AUTHENTIC FAKE


Much has been said about the polvoron video which the DDS sycophants have spread in the hope of toppling a sitting President. They failed big time. Why? Because there are fake fakes and there are authentic fakes, and methinks the polvoron video is the latter. In a sworn statement, this was recently reiterated by no less than vlogger Vicente Bencalo, more popularly known in Facebook as Pebbles Cunanan and Pebbles Talakera. When I interviewed him recently in my radio program, he said pointblank that it was Atty. Harry Roque, now a fugitive, who was responsible for the video. The sworn statement mentions a meeting inside a Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong attended by Atty. Harry Roque, Atty. Vic Rodriguez (the self-appointed "Kingmaker"), Atty. Glenn Chong, Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles, Dr. Lorraine Badoy, Mr. Allan Troy Sasot aka Sass Rogando Sasot, Ms. Joie Cruz aka Joie de Vivre, and Mr. Alex Destor aka Tio Moreno. And instead of answering the allegations of Cunanan in the video, the Duterte fanatics resort to ad hominem attacks and other rehashed issues. Since coming out in the open, Cunanan has been the subject of personal attacks on his features as if the ones who hurl insults at him look any better. But Roque has the gall to tell the President to prove that the video is a fake. Wait a minute, is he really a lawyer? He ought to know that whoever alleges has the burden of proof. In other words, the party making such claim or assertion has the responsibility to prove it with sufficient evidence. Here, mere allegations without supporting evidence are deemed insufficient to establish a claim. In short, hearsay. in the case of Roque insisting on the authenticity of the polvoron video, it is he who must come out with proof and not the President. So why is he challenging PBBM to dispute this? That is so wrong. Instead, he made this public blabbering away like a whore like a whore who has not been paid, he must show proof, nothing less. This is way beyond stupid, and he is a UP Law alumnus for that matter. Shame. Also, just recently, Roque says that the Dutch people no longer allow the imprisonment of 80-year olds and above, alluding to Duterte who just turned 80 recently. As I gathered, the International Criminal Court (ICC) may impose sentences of up to 30 years of imprisonment, or in some cases, a life sentence. The ICC's detention center is for holding those charged with crimes, and not for imprisoning already convicted individuals. The ICC has twelve detention cells in a Dutch prison in Scheveningen, The Hague. And while the ICC can impose prison sentences, there is no specific rule in the Rome Statute that prevents them from imprisoning individuals of any age - including those 80 years old and above. Mr. Roque, as expected, is peddling fakery once again.
