  • Remember Tatay Digong on Election Day, May 12, the First Day of Reckoning

    When a former head of state who offered his life for the service of Filipinos, 80-years old frail man, Tatay Rodrigo “Digong” Roa Duterte is supposed to be resting comfortably with his family at his own home in Davao, is instead in another country surrounded by strangers, sleeping alone. That’s the sad situation our Tatay Digong is in, a result of the political ambitions of the heartless Bong Bong Marcos.

    When Tatay Digong was the President of the Philippines, he made sure good law-abiding citizens can sleep comfortably in their homes, protected against the danger of drug addicts and bad elements of the society. Armed with his strong political will, from the day one of his presidency, he made sure he fulfilled his campaign promises, specially the war on drugs.

    With his war on drugs, he coordinated with the Brgy Captains across the country to identify drug users and drug pushers. He warned drug pushers to stop and surrender. He warned drug users to surrender for rehabilitation. Those who followed his warning were in good hands, rehabilitated for a second chance in life.

    He instructed police authorities to do what is necessary for his drug campaign to succeed on its purpose. Those suspects who did not cooperate, resisted and put the police authorities in danger unfortunately were dealt with by force and some unfortunately perished.

    As in a war, death to those involved are inevitable. Unfortunately, without Duterte’s control, there were abuses made by police who took advantage on the protection promise of Duterte. Some incidents were also orchestrated by Digong’s Critics and Drug Syndicates.

    In short, there was no Extra Judicial Killings that occured during Tatay Digong’s term, on his watch. If there were Extra Judicial Killings, it was not Tatay Digong’s control and instruction. Tatay Digong saved humanity. He protected the lives of Filipinos against the evil of drugs.

  • The fight to defend former President Duterte is a fight for Filipinos

    The fight to defend former President Duterte is a fight for Filipinos. If Bong Bong Marcos just easily violated & dump a former head of state, someone who laid his father to the Libingan ng mga Bayani which past presidents never attempted to do to avoid backlash from victims and critics of martial law, someone who helped him become president, then he can easily do it a normal citizen.

    If General Torre can easily arrest and detain a former president who was once his boss in the chain of command and someone who have enormously improved the salary and benefits of police and military, then he can easily do it to a normal citizen.

    Both Bong Bong Marcos and General Torre, without hesitation and due respect to their offices and to the former President of the Philippines, abused their power and authority against a defenceless frail 80-year old man for their personal gains using ICC warrant of arrest as tool.

    Do Bong Bong Marcos and General Torre lack conscience and moral compass?

    Filipinos need to unite. The Philippines and the Filipino people are at stake.

  • You must be political but non partisan

    Most people do not know the meaning of being apolitical and nonpartisan and they claim to be such. Being political is good while being a partisan is bad. Human life is full of politics, from your most simple way of living and even after death. Convincing your girlfriend for a score is a political exercise in itself. Being committed to a girlfriend despite her cheating is being a partisan.

    Meanwhile being Apolitical means you don’t care about what’s happening around you. You just live for yourself and in your own ways. Content creators who do not care about what’s happening around them or just continue to make their comedy or sexy videos or pranks and without thinking about the repurcussions are good example of being apolitical.

    Nonpartisans are people who do not commit their loyalty and respect to a political party. Example on this is a man who kicks his girfriend out of the house who is repeatedly unfaithful.

    In short, you are a liar if you say you are Apolitical and non partisan. To be a functional creature, you must be political but not partisan. Humans life is naturally political.

  • ICC DID NOT SEEK FOR DUTERTE, ACTIVISTS AND POLITICAL RIVALS DID. FILIPINOS WERE IN FAVOR OF DUTERTE’s WAR ON DRUGS, THEY FELT SAFER DURING HIS TIME.

    It was Philippines’ unwanted activists who filed case against Duterte to the ICC in which his political rivals sitting in the government collaborated. This is amidst Duterte’s high popularity in the Philippines and holds solid base in the coming midterm elections that his political rivals can’t handle. Antonio Trillanes, a very unpopular activist and politician and one of the Duterte’s critics, was one of those who filed the case to the ICC and has pursued to fast track arrest of Duterte before the height of election period.

    Filipinos who are in support to Duterte were left stunned as they watch Duterte being rushed by Bong Bong Marcos-instructed authorities to The Hague in Netherlands to offer the former president to ICC. It was entirely opposite to Israel and Russias approach in not surrendering Netanyahu and Putin to ICC. Bong Bong Marcos, who was helped by Duterte to be elected as current Philippines President, now become rival, has excitedly collaborated for a fast exit of Duterte out of the country. The Philippines Authorities as instructed by Bong Bong Marcos used all remedies including the use of a private plane to usher Duterte out of the country before the legal remedies filed by Duterte’s legal team was actioned by Supreme Court.

    Filipinos watched all the pre-planned elimination of the former president out of the election period.

  • Filipinos should go out and help Duterte

    The only Philippines President who was serious in fixing his country is under attack. He needs your help this time. Israel’s Netanyahu and Russia’s Putin had warrant of arrest issued by ICC but were never arrested in their own county. In the Philippines, the warrant of arrest is being used by the current administration to pin down Duterte, their political opposition.

    There are more Filipinos who have gratitude to the former President for the changes and development he implemented, most especially peace and order during his term. Anywhere in the country, Filipinos saw the difference of his service to the country.

    Filipinos need to protect this man.
