In a statement that sliced straight into the hypocrisy of modern political theatrics, Cong. Paolo “Pulong” Duterte called out the selective outrage in so-called “pro-democracy” rallies.
His message:
Kung totoo ang prinsipyo, dapat pareho ang trato. Kung scripted ang protesta, halata.

Pulong’s words echo a sentiment many Filipinos already feel —
some rallies aren’t organic…
some protests aren’t people-powered…
they’re directed, funded, and pre-scripted.

Here’s the full breakdown:

🔥 KEY POINTS

🟥 Pulong Duterte calls out the double standard.

“Para raw sa demokrasya,” pero:

• Allowed: “Sara Resign”

• Forbidden: “Marcos Resign”
  This exposes selective freedom of expression.

🟦 The issue is not protest — it’s dishonesty.

Pulong Duterte clarifies:

The problem is not the rally itself.
The problem is the plastic, scripted nature behind it.

Kung tunay ang protesta, walang pinipiling target.
Pero kapag may forbidden signs…
may director. may script. may agenda.

🟩 Hypocrisy weakens true democratic movements.

Real democracy = open criticism.
Fake democracy = curated targets.
Kapag ang rally may rules kung sino lang pwedeng batikusin,
hindi iyon people’s movement — messaging campaign iyon.

🦅 Pulong’s statement strengthens the Duterte stance.

• Duterte camp = hindi takot sa criticism

• Duterte supporters = consistent

• Marcos camp = sensitive, curated messaging
  Pulong exposes the contrast.

📖 FAITH

“The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him.” – Proverbs 11:1
Kapag hindi patas, hindi totoo.
At kung hindi totoo, hindi yan galing sa Diyos.

Hindi lahat ng naghihiyawan ay bayan.
Hindi lahat ng placard ay prinsipyo.
At ang tunay na lider?
Hindi natitinag sa scripted drama —
hinaharap ang katotohanan nang diretsahan.

Supreme Court Moves, ICC Blocks: Two Worlds Collide in the Fight to Bring Duterte Home

Today marks a turning point in Philippine politics and global justice: the Supreme Court of the Philippines has officially ordered Malacañang and multiple high-ranking officials to respond to the Duterte family’s habeas corpus petition, even as the ICC Appeals Chamber rejected interim release for former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte — but with crucial new context.

This is the first time BOTH institutions — the Supreme Court and the ICC — publicly take simultaneous action regarding PRRD’s detention and legal status.

Below is the full breakdown:

🏛️ Supreme Court en banc orders the government to answer.

• Respondents include:

  • Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin

  • DOJ Secretary Crispin Remulla

  • DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla

  • PNP Chief Gen. Marbil

  • CIDG leadership

  • AFP Chief Gen. Brawner

  • DFA Secretary Enrique Manalo

  • Immigration Commissioner Tansingco

  • Key officials tied to PRRD’s transfer and custody

• They are REQUIRED to file memoranda within 30 days.

👨‍👩‍👧 Petitioners include Duterte’s own children:

• Veronica “Kitty” Duterte

• Sebastian “Baste” Duterte

• Paolo “Pulong” Duterte
  They filed petitions to demand government action and accountability.

🪪 Central issue of the petition:

“Bring Rodrigo Duterte home.”
The petition asks the SC to examine whether PRRD’s detention under ICC authority violates constitutional and sovereign protections.

🌍 ICC Appeals Chamber denies interim release BUT confirms new developments.

From ICC lawyer Nicholas Kaufman:

🔸 The ICC has never granted interim release to someone charged with crimes against humanity.

🔸 Duterte’s medical evaluation results will be released next month.

🔸 They will reintroduce the request for release, citing:

• PRRD is 80 years old

• Suffers debilitating physical conditions

• Suffers cognitive decline

• Is incapable of flight

• Is not a threat to witnesses

This is a CRUCIAL opening for humanitarian release.

🧨 Two legal worlds are now moving at once:

🇵🇭 Supreme Court PH – demanding answers from the Marcos government

🌐 ICC – preparing for medical-based arguments for release

This puts tremendous pressure on Malacañang, which previously asked the SC to deny the Duterte petitions.

🦅 Political and moral implications:

• Why did the government NOT protect a former President?

• Why is the SC now stepping in?

• Why is the ICC acknowledging Duterte’s worsening health?

• And why is the narrative suddenly shifting?

The entire nation is waking up to the reality that Duterte’s detention is no longer just a legal battle — it is a humanitarian and constitutional crisis.

📖

“The Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all who wait for Him.” – Isaiah 30:18
When earthly powers fail, God’s timing prevails.

🦅

The Marcos government now has 30 days to explain itself.
The ICC now has 30 days before medical findings emerge.
And the Filipino people now have 30 days to watch history unfold.

This is no longer politics.
This is destiny.

Habang lumalalim ang corruption controversies at budget insertion scandals na nagpapayanig sa kasalukuyang administrasyon, tumayo si Vice President Sara Duterte na may malinaw, diretso, at konstitusyonal na pahayag:

Kung bumaba o ma-impeach si Marcos, she is ready to assume — as mandated by law.
Pero para sa Palasyo, ang pagsasabi ng katotohanan ay “destabilization.”

Ang tanong:
Kapag Duterte ang nagsabi ng totoo, destabilization. Pero kapag sila ang gumagawa ng kalokohan… silence?

Here are the major points from the article:

Palace accuses VP Sara of “political destabilization.”

• Simply because she acknowledged the constitutional line of succession.

• Her statement: “If the President steps down or is impeached, I am constitutionally next.”

• This is basic constitutional knowledge, but sinabayan ng Palasyo ng drama.

  ---

VP Sara clarifies: She is not plotting. She is simply READY.

• She ran as Vice President with the understanding she is first in line.

• ZERO unconstitutional action.

• ZERO calls for resignation.

• ZERO destabilization.

• Pure facts.

VP Sara hits back: ‘Let us ask the people — are you ready for more Mary Grace Piñatots?’

• Referring to the alias used by one of the alleged recipients of confidential funds.

• A sharp jab highlighting the selective outrage of the administration.

VP Sara says Marcos’ signature in the 2025 GAA is “best evidence” in budget insertion controversy.

• “Hindi ako ang pumirma ng GAB; siya ang pumirma.”

• Clear, direct, walang palusot.

• Again — straight facts, no destabilization.

VP Sara rejects “military junta,” calls it unconstitutional.

• “I stick to the Constitution.”

• She rejects extraconstitutional moves — ironically, mas constitutional pa siya kaysa sa mga nagsasabi ng “destabilization.”

VP Sara: Marcos’ refusal of hair follicle drug test is impeachable.

• Not an accusation — she cites constitutional principles.

• Malacañang again responded with silence.

Palace reaction shows insecurity, not strength.

When the Duterte speaks the truth, Malacañang calls it “destabilization.”
When the Romualdez camp moves silently behind the scenes, they call it “governance.”

“The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” – Proverbs 28:1
Kaya pala hindi mapakali ang Palasyo— may kumakalabog sa konsensya.

Ang katotohanan, kapag sinabi ng Duterte — halatang masakit.
Pero ang sakit na ‘yan, hindi destabilization.
Konstitusyonal na katotohanan lang.
