<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

"Tangible changes", this was the promised goal of Pres. Duterte during campaign. He was certain that he could minimize, if not possibly be eliminated, criminality and drug menace in the country in 6 months. How was his words after the first 3 months of his term? 
 
Well, we all could feel it, although it was not totally gone but atleast we never felt more safer than ever. 
 
But, those are just the main thing, how about the other things that his administration had accomplished? A netizen, Josephine Quino, took into Facebook what he felt like was enough proof for people to respect Pres. Duterte. 
 
Here is the post. 
 
-start of post- 
"Some people are so consumed by their hatred towards Duterte that their eyes are blinded to see the PLAIN TRUTH. 
 
Anyone who cannot appreciate the following developments do not deserve to live in this country. Get out of the Philippines, you have no right to live here - you don't care a bit for this country but only for your own goddamned agendas.

19. The removal of the fishing pens in the Laguna Lake to give other small fishermen a fair chance to use it for their livelihood 
 
20. The new buses from the airport to many major hubs in nearby cities 
 
21. The one sack rice added to 4Ps cash assistance to our less fortunate fellowmen

29. The exposés against olligarchs who have been evading to pay taxes 
 
30. The lower street crimes because most of the nutters who are more likely to commit the crimes have already surrendered and therefore identified 
 
31. The Mindanao peace process that has resumed again in Malaysia 
 
32. The bilateral talks with China over the WPS dispute

46. The closure of online gambling. From 4 thousand outlets during the arroyo admin, to 8 thousand outlets during Aquino admin

55. The DAR and BFAR's boat distribution program, feeding fishers for life 
 
Sad to say, the local media is turning a blind eye to these accomplishments and instead is focusing on unfounded EJK accusations. The foreign media on the other hand get their reports from paid and biased journalists. Worst of all, some leaders of the International Community including the President of the US, EU and UN swallow the reports hook, line and sinker, handle included. I can't believe that so called dignitaries based their judgments on garbage sources. Get it straight from the Filipino people! Logic is the ability to suspend judgment before proper evaluation, and sadly, these international leaders are grossly wanting. DUTERHEARTS, let us show the world our 16 million strong sentiments. Stop the foreign media from destroying the reputation of our President and in effect, our economy. 
 
Thanks much to those who contributed! 
 
Please comment to add if you know of more :)

This post gone viral in the social media. Well, not much of making bias statement, but people agrees to him. They also felt the same. But as the saying goes, "we cannot please everyone", thus there's still people who doubts the capability of President Rodrigo Duterte.

Lacson's reaction upon approaching the 100th day of Duterte's administration

11:20:00 AM

Since July 1, 2016, when President Rodrigo Duterte took office, it is just weeks away since its administration will reach its first 100 days in the service. Do you feel the changes or not? Let us read the statement of Sen. Lacson regarding this.

Sen. Lacson's assessment on Duterte's first 100 years of his administration showed how the Senator was amazed because the almost 100-day old Duterte administration made them feel like it has been running for years. 
 
In an interview, Lacson cited some of the achievements and developments they had withness with Duterte's admininstration given that is just about to reach its 100th day on Octorber. He narrated how he and some other Senators talk about how they feel about Duterte's administration. They said that everyone of them felt like the administration is already running for years because of the events and developments it already produced. 
 
"Kung naguusap-usap kami ng mga senador, nakakailang taon ba tayo? Parang napakahabang panahon na sa dami ng kaganapan at developments, hindi mo iisiping wala pang 100 days" says the former PNP chief. 
 
Lacson gave special emphasis on the evident progress of Duterte's war against illegal drug trade. 
 
"Siguro dala na rin sa araw-araw, napakaraming balitang nasasagap, napakaraming nangyayari, napapatay. So parang pinikit mo ang mata mo at sinara mo ang utak mo muna gaano katagal, iisipin mo talagang napakahabang panahon na siyang president", he added. 
 
It can be recalled that last June, Lacson already commended Duterte's admininstration as it made drug pushers and users to turn themselves in the authorities due to fear, weeks before Duterte formally sits as the President of the country. 
 
Even before President-elect Duterte formally assumes the presidency, we have seen how suspected drug users and pushers turned themselves in to police in past weeks out of fear. Never in history of criminality in the Philippines have seen drug users/pushers and the like surrender in this manner", Lacson sain in an article released by interaksyon.com. 
 
Even before, Lacson already expressed his hopes for the Duterte administration to greatly minimize crime if eradicating it completely might not be possible. 
 
Meanwhile, he also said that the increase in the price and decrease on the demand of illegal drugs is a proof that the war against drugs is gaining result.

Mob mentality: Avoid the negative effect of social media

12:41:00 AM

<div class="MsoNormal">
The influence of social media to us is unquestionable, we rely so much from these social sites. But one thing we are not aware of is we are believing too easily on the things from these sites.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Almost all of us is now engaged in social media. We did this
for so many reasons like socialization, communication, or even liesure. It is
safe to quote that we rely so much on social media.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Basically, social media is where people gathers, or if
social sites are a particular place, it is where people are gathered together
in a very huge number. Beyond this, there is a fact that lies where social
media is the best place to publish news, articles, videos, or to advertise
products/services. Because it holds massive numbers of people who are the
possible viewers or users of our article or endorsed product.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with this, there are people out there who don't care
about others and only thinks of being popular, or to earn money which they
publish or endorse false information or products. Well, sad to say, most of
these false information would always go viral thus reach so many people, and
the worst part is that most of us are blinded for the truth. We tend to believe
on false information we read and we share this making us one of the instrument
in spreading such falsity.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is what we called MOB MENTALITY. In this state, we are
influenced by what we think was right and adopt to that certain thing we
believe. And this is not good for us.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many people have been suffering because of this. They were
bullied, bashed and shamed through social media and even in personal
circumstances. To make an example, let us recall the roadrage incident where a
cyclist was killed by an ARMY reservist. But before everything was in place,
the video of the said roadrage escalated on social media. Many have seen the
actual video of the incident, where a particular website posted a picture and
had accused someone (not the real suspect) of being the responsible for the
death of the boy.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This man appeared before the NBI to clear his name, although
he is not really the real suspect (after the investigation) he had suffered so
many criticims and bullying. He receives so many heart-breaking messages which
calls him names or giving him unpleasant words which he think as too much from
the people.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That is what we're mistaken, we always jumps into
conclusions just because the information comes from the social media. Where
information from this place should not be taken easily, we the users/readers
are responsible for verifying the legitimacy of the content that we read.
Because this is the social media, the place for the freedom to speak, so there
is no strong basis that all of the posted information here are true or not. As
what was mentioned, we need to verify for ourselves.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some tips to verify if the information we read is
true or not:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For websites, blogs and other link we see on social sites:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Make sure that the sites are reliable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are many websites we encounter, some leads us to the
wrong link, others might gives us valuable to read. So, try to remember those
sites that would not lead you to the wrong content. ALWAYS refer to another
source if you have read something interesting to verify if the information is
true or not.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Make sure that the site is legitimate.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are no doubts for information we read from big news
sites like CNN, BBC, or the local news site. But these site which are not much
known by many are the sites that we should not believe by an instant. Look for
their sources, and/or search on google about their headline and choose the site
that is legit and reliable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For pages/accounts/channels (public figure, bands, companies, etc):<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Look for the verified badge.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Instagram has it's way of
separating the real page of a real person or business from those imitators by
putting them verification badge (a check mark after their names). Meaning, this
pages, channel, accounts and others which has the verification badge are
verified users therefore non-emitators. For example, if you search on YouTube
about the top 10 plays of the 2015-2016 NBA regular season find the uploader
with a check mark on their names, because these are companies and organizations
that really studies the plays thus you expect fair basis than those countdown
who were made by the fans which maybe bias on the player or team that they are
supporting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Know the source.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tip above is one of the things to consider. But what if it
is not a page or a channel? You saw a post of something interesting from a
person, what you should do? Anyone has the freedom to check other accounts.
Look for their information, their friends, their posts and any other small
things that would satisfy your criteria in verifying the legitimacy of the
account.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
 </div>
 
<div class="MsoNormal">
To summarize all of these, we should always be vigelant into
something we saw, view, watch, read and post on social sites, because sometimes
these simple posting or sharing of ours means life for others. Thus, before you
decide if it is real or not, you should first check for yourself in order to
avoid this mentality. Who knows, if all of us are aware of this, we could even
help our country mess-free from the wrath of the force from social media.<o:p></o:p></div>

Step 5. 
Select an option if you have other legal proceedings to your birth certificate. Select honestly. 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mocha Uson releases statement on Bilibid concert

11:35:00 PM

Singer and dancer Mocha Uson has released a statement following news that she and her dance group, the Mocha Girls, performed inside the New Bilibid Prison, as highlighted in a Congressional hearing on Tuesday.

"Totoo po na noong late 2012 or early 2013 kami po ay nag-perform sa Bilibid," admitted Uson, who also claimed that her group did nothing wrong in her statement released through Facebook. She clarified that her group's performance was for a charity event. 
 
(It is true that we performed inside the National Bilibid Prison late 2012 or early 2013.) 
 
"Ito po ay pormal na concert na dumaan po sa tamang proseso. Marami pong mga artista na nagsho-show dun at nagbibigay pag-asa sa mga bilanggo. Sa tingin ko naman po walang masama kung ito ay PORMAL na nanggaling sa opisyal ng [Bureau of Corrections]. 
 
Ang Mocha Girls ay involved po sa iba't ibang charity shows kahit noon pa man," she added.  
 
(It was a formally organized show that went through the legal process. There were many artists involved in that show, which gave hope to the prisoners. I think there is nothing wrong with performing there since it was a show organized by officials of the Bureau of Corrections. The Mocha Girls are involved in many types of charity.) 
 
In Tuesday's house probe into the alleged proliferation of drugs at the New Bilibid Prison during the stint of Senator Leila de Lima as Justice Secretary, one of the six witnesses bared names of celebrities, which included Uson, who performed for drug lords and inmates. 
 
The witness claimed that these drug lords and inmates at the national penitentiary enjoyed various perks and privileges supposedly due to lax supervision from De Lima and the Bureau of Corrections. 
 
Reacting to reports about her "concert" inside the maximum security, Uson, a staunch supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte, insisted that her critics have been using the witness's testimony to malign her.  
 
"Binibigyan lamang ito ng kulay ng ibang anti-Duterte dahil kami ay suporter ng ating Pangulo. Itong mga dilaw na ito ay hindi na maipagtanggol si De Lima kaya kung anu-anong issue ang gustong ungkatin," she continued.  
 
(The issue is being misrepresented by Duterte critics because we are staunch supporters of the President. These yellow-affiliated people want to defend De Lima that’s why they are spreading rumors.) 
 
Here is the rest of Uson’s statement. 
 
 
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Tulad ng nabanggit ng witness, maraming mga artists ang nakapagperform na doon kasama na si Sharon Cuneta at Freddie Aguilar. Ang nakakapagtaka lang ay bakit kami lang ang idinidiin at binibigyan ng kulay." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Una sa lahat, hindi ko po kinahihiya iyon bakit? Tulad nga ng aking sinabi, walang masama kung ito ay dumaan sa tamang paraan. And for argument's sake, kung bawal pala iyon hindi dapat ang mga artista o entertainer ang sisihin dapat ang pamunuan ng BuCor at dating Sec. De Lima dahil sila ang nag issue ng kaukulang permit upang makapag concert sa loob." </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Ngunit uulitin ko hindi ko ikinahihiya ito dahil ako at ang aking grupo ay nagbigay ng malinis na kasiyahan at pag-asa sa mga taong nagkamali sa lipunan. Ngayon po ako ay abala sa pagsisimula ng isang foundation na magtatayo ng mga rehab centers sa iba't ibang bahagi ng Pilipinas.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Natural na ako po ay magpe-perform ng walang bayad kasama ang buong Mocha Girls upang magbigay ng pag-asa sa mga, uulitin ko, nagkamali sa lipunan. Dahil ako ay naniniwala na habang may buhay ang tao ito ay may pag-asang maayos at maging kapanipakinabang sa lipunan.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"At hindi ko ikinahihiya ito. Ang tamang tanong dito ay - sa dinami dami ng mga nag concert sa Bilibid na mga artista bakit ang kailangan idiin at gawan ng issue ay kami? Simple, politka! Dahil kami ay masugid na suporter ni Pangulong Duterte. At magandang i-sensationalize ng media at blog/FB page ang issue na ito. Sa mga utak dilaw, ibalik natin ang issue- De Lima, totoo ba na ikaw ay tumatanggap ng payola sa mga inmate? Kung hindi sagutin mo isa-isa ang akusasyon sayo.”</blockquote>

Duterte to De Lima: Prove I was behind deaths in Davao

1:57:00 PM

President Rodrigo Duterte said Senator Leila De Lima has yet to prove he is behind the extrajudicial killings in Davao City, one of the accusations of witness Edgar Matobato during a Senate investigation De Lima helmed.

"Maraming namatay dito, totoo 'yan, but prove na ako ang pumatay at kung sino," said Duterte on Tuesday, September 20, during an event in Davao City. 
 
Though he did not name De Lima explicitly, he spoke of a "Delilah," a nickname he has used before to refer to her. 
 
"Si Delilah, 1,000. Sabihin ko sa kanya (I'll tell her), name the 10th victim. Isang question ko lang (I just have one question): so there have been about 500, who was the guy, the 500th who was killed and on what day and how it was done?" said Duterte. 
 
The President even invited witnesses to go to Davao City so he can cross-examine them. 
 
"Pumunta sila dito, ako ang mag cross-examine sa kanila (They go here so I can cross-examine them). Who was the first victim? Who was the second? What was the name? Where did it happen?" he said. 
 
Fault of 'enemies' 
 
Duterte claimed his "enemies" in Davao City are responsible for portraying him as behind the extrajudicial killings. 
 
"Meron dito, mga kalaban ko for whatever reason – kung sino pumatay, it does not really matter – kukunan ng picture and then it was made into a folder with so many folders there, victims of crimes against persons, nasali lahat doon," he said. 
 
(Here I have enemies who, for whatever reason – it does not really matter who killed them – they will take a picture of the body and then it was made into a folder, victims of crimes against persons, all were included there.) 
 
Duterte said he chose to respond to these past accusations with sarcasm. 
 
"'Napaka gago naman ninyo. Eh kung talagang killer ako, I've been mayor here 23 years, 'yan lang ipakita ninyo sa akin? Karami kong tinapon diyan sa Samal Island na Davao Gulf 'yan lang nakita mo?' I raised it to the level of sarcasm," he said. 
 
('You are insane. If I were really a killer, I've been mayor here for 23 years, that's all you can show? I've dumped so many bodies in Samal Island, Davao Gulf.' I raised it to the level of sarcasm.) 
 
But Duterte admitted he has ordered the deaths of certain criminals. Previously, he had already admitted to ordering that criminals be shot if they posed a threat to law enforcers. 
 
"Sinabi ko, umalis kayo dito if you're into drugs, murder for hire. Umalis kayo kasi 'pag hindi, papatayin ko kayo and in the process marami akong pinatay upon my direction, walang problema 'yan," he said. 
 
(I said, get out if you're into drugs, murder for hire. Get out because if you don't, I'll kill you and in the process I had many killed, no problem there.) 
 
Just threats? 
 
Duterte also cautioned people from equating his colorful threats against criminals to actual acts of extrajudicial executions. 
 
Specifically, he criticized members of the European Parliament for using his threats as proof that he is behind the recent spate of extrajudicial killings. 
 
"Putang ina ka, istorya mo lang 'yan. Kung ginawa ko, ibang storya 'yan," he said. (Son of a whore, that's just your story. If I really did it, that's another story.) 
 
Simply threatening criminals is not a crime, Duterte added. 
 
"Look at these idiots, they’re using a phrase, a narrative of my speeches before threatening criminals. Now let me ask you stupid lawyers of the other countries, is there a law in the Philippines that would make it illegal for a mayor, president, or governor to threaten criminals?" he said. 
 
Duterte chose to issue his challenge to De Lima the day after she was ousted as chair of the Senate committee on justice. As such, she will not be presiding over future hearings on extrajudicial killings. 
 
Senators who voted to oust her said she was too "anti-administration", thus supposedly compromising the impartiality of the investigation. 
 
Senator Richard Gordon, the new justice committee chairperson, has promised an objective investigation. 
 
Duterte's challenge also comes on the first day of a House probe into De Lima's alleged involvement in the Bilibid prison drug trade. De Lima claimed the probe, launched by Duterte's allies in the House, is meant to discredit her.

De Lima visited Sebastian several times according to the witness

1:20:00 PM

A Bilibid inmate on Wednesday claimed that Justice Secretary Leila de Lima had visited Jaybee Sebastian at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City several times since January 2013.

During the second day of the House inquiry on the proliferation of drugs at the NBP, witness Noel Martinez said fellow inmate Sebastian, whom he described as Sigue-Sigue  
Commando commander and chair of the Presidyo Side at the NBP maximum security compound, asked for his help in February 2013 to gather funds for De Lima's senatorial bid. 
 
A month before that, Martinez claimed De Lima had visited Sebastian in his office. 
"Noong Enero 2013, isang umaga, tinawagan ako ni Jaybee at sinabi na darating si Sec. Leila de Lima sa kaniyang opisina bandang hapon," said Martinez, reading out his sworn affidavit before the House justice committee. 
 
"Nang pumunta ako kinahapunan ay naroon nga si Sec. De Lima. Naroon din ang mga pinuno ng iba't ibang pangkat at ipinakilala ang bawat isa sa amin kay Sec. De Lima," he added. 
 
The House Justice committee is conducting an inquiry on the alleged proliferation of the illegal drug trade inside the national penitentiary during the term of De Lima as Justice secretary. 
 
Four new witnesses have been scheduled to testify on Wednesday. 
 
'Centralized drug trade' 
 
In his meeting with Martinez in February 2013, Sebastian reportedly said that in order to gather enough funds for De Lima, the drug trade inside the penitentiary should be "centralized," by tapping the various inmate groups within the NBP. 
 
In exchange for their help, Martinez said Sebastian promised to give his group "protection and special treatment." 
 
Martinez, commander or "bosyo" of the Genuine Ilocano Group, maintained that his group does not engage in the illegal drug trade. Instead of helping sell drugs, Martinez said he just offered to recommend to Sebastian people who could peddle drugs outside the NBP. 
 
Martinez said that during "the last months of 2013," Sebastian told him De Lima would once again be visiting him at th NBP. "At totoo nga na dumarating ito sa kaniyang opisina," said Martinez. 
 
"Sa lahat ng pagkakataon ng pagpunta ni Sec. De Lima sa kubol ni Jaybee, silang dalawa ay iniiwan namin pagkatapos ng kainan. Sa ibang pagkakataon naman ay ang driver ni Secretary De Lima na si Junel Sanchez ang nagpupunta kay Jaybee at kumokolekta ng  
pera," said Martinez. 
 
Martinez said Sebastian eventually told him that De Lima and Sanchez were no longer in good terms. "Si alyas Makoy na ang pumupunta sa Bilibid para kumuha ng pera," the witness said, but did not specify any date when the visits happened. 
 
In his affidavit, Martinez also claimed that former Bureau of Corrections director Franklin Jesus Bucayu had demanded P500,000 from him, through a certain "Col. Elly." 
 
Martinez said he did not have such amount, but ended up asking for P300,000 from a Chinese fellow inmate to give it to Col. Elly, who eventually demanded money from Martinez every week. 
 
"Kaya kapag pinapunta ako ni Col. Elly sa opisina niya, alam ko na na kailangan kong magbigay ng pera," said Martinez. 
 
Martinez also said Sebastian once approached him to tell him that one of his [Sebastian's] men outside the NBP had been apprehended by authorities. Martinez said a certain Jad de Vera came over to work out the "areglo" for the release of Sebastian's men who had been arrested. 
 
Martinez also said in his affidavit that he is one of the so-called Bilibid 19 who were transferred from the NBP to the National Bureau of Investigation following a raid at the penitentiary in December 2014. 
 
De Lima: Testsimonies were fabricated 
 
In a privilege speech on Tuesday, de Lima said she received credible evidence that inmates and gang leaders were taken by the Special Action Force (SAF) deployed at the NBP for “overnight interrogation sessions in an effort to fabricate testimony." 
 
"Prisoners are being selected and isolated just to be intimated into implicating me and to fit the President's narrative that I am a drug lord coddler, aside from being the most evil woman in the planet," she said. 
 
The senator warned her critics supposedly fabricating evidence against her that their “day will come.”

De Lima names alleged Davao Death Squad members

9:27:00 PM

Sen. Leila De Lima on Tuesday revealed the names of some Davao police officers who are allegedly members of the Davao Death Squad (DDS), the vigilante group blamed for unexplained killings.

De Lima said the names are similar to those mentioned by Edgar Matobato, confessed hitman who testified before the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights last Thursday. Matobato tagged President Rodrigo Duterte as the one who ordered the killings of suspected criminals and terrorists in Davao City. 
 
“Mr. President may mga binanggit na pong mga opisyal ng kapulisan ang ating witness. Nasaan na po ang mga opisyal na ito ngayon? Masarap pa ba ang kanilang tulog sa kabila ng mga binitawang testimonya ni Edgar Matobato? Kung nakakatulog pa sila, marahil sila ay inosente. Pero papaano kung sila ay hindi inosente?” De Lima said in her privilege speech at the Senate. 
 
“Nagtutugma po ang ilang mga kuwento sa kuwento ng ating witness na si Edgar Matobato. Katunayan noong 2009, may mga pangalan nang mga opisyales ng Davao City Police ang lumabas na mga miyembro ng DDS sa heinous crime section ng DCPO (Davao City Police Office) mga pangalan na binanggit na rin ni Matobato sa kanyang testimonya,” she said. 
 
Below appears the list of names of officials allegedly involved in DDS: 
 
 
 
<ul>
<li>SPO4 Arthur Lascanas</li>
<li>Police Chief Inspector Jacy Jay Franca</li>
<li>Police Chief Inspector Ronald Lao</li>
<li>SPO3 Jim Tan</li>
<li>SPO4 Samson "Sonny" Buenaventura</li>
<li>SPO1 Reynante Medina</li>
<li>SPO1 Bienvenvenido Furog</li>
<li>SPO1 Vivencio Jun Junawan</li>
<li>SPO2 Enrique Jun Delos Reyes Ayao</li>
<li>SPO3 Jun Laresma</li>
<li>SPO2 Rizalino "Bobong" Aquino</li>
<li>SPO3 Donito "Pogi" Ubales</li>
<li>SPO1 Jun Bisnar</li>
<li>SPO1 Gaston Aquino</li>
<li>Police Senior Superindent Isidero "Dick" Florivel/Florobel</li>
<li>Police Senior Superintendent Rey Capote</li>
<li>Police Senior Superintendent Tony Rivera</li>
<li>Police Senior Superintendent Dionisio Abude</li>
<li>Bienvenido Laud</li>
<li>Alvin Laud</li>
<li>Roly Engalia</li>
<li>Arnold Ochavez</li>
</ul>
 
 
De Lima insisted Matobato has a basis on his testimony unlike Duterte’s drug matrix, she claimed was announced without any evidence. She said the implication is that there is a group of serial killers and mass murderers right within the ranks of the organization which is supposed to protect and serve the people. 
 
“Malakas pong ebidensya sa mga testimonya ni Edgar Matobato. Hindi ito katulad ng drug matrix na nailabas ng Pangulo na walang gustong umamin sa NBI, PNP, o PDEA kung kanino galing sa kanila ang mga impormasyon na laman nito. Kung ang pamantayan ng ebidensya ni Senator Cayetano ay katulad ng drug matrix ni Pangulo na parang dindrawing ng isang dose anyos na bata, di hamak na lampas lampas naman ang testimonya ni Matobato sa pang-dose anyos na standard ng kanyang mahal na Pangulo,” De Lima said. 
 
 “Kung minsan po talaga, ang pinakamahirap gisingin ay ang mga nagpapanggap na tulog,” she added. 
 
The senator urged the alleged DDS members to come out and clear their names. 
 
In her speech, De Lima said the process of vetting witnesses on the DDS case has started since 2009 when she was a Commission on Human Rights chair. She said she conducted the inquiry on the DDS at that time but alleged DDS members failed to testify fearing for their lives. 
 
De Lima conducted a Senate inquiry into the rising number of drug-related killings under the Duterte administration. She was unseated as the Senate panel chair on Monday.

Syria ceasefire: UN's Ban Ki-moon makes aid plea

11:52:00 AM

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has urged Russia and the US to push all warring sides in Syria to allow safe passage for desperately needed aid. 
 
Lorries with a month's food supply for 40,000 people are stuck at the Turkish border, 48 hours into a ceasefire. 
 
Getting aid to civilians in besieged areas like the rebel-held eastern half of the city of Aleppo is a priority. 
 
But disagreements between warring sides and concerns about safety are delaying emergency deliveries, the UN says. 
 
Criticism has also been levelled at President Bashar al-Assad's government for trying to control aid flows. 
 
"It's crucially important [that] the necessary security arrangements" are made so the convoy can travel, Mr Ban said. 
 
"I have been urging the Russian government to make sure that they exercise influence on the Syrian government, and also the American side to make sure that Syrian armed groups, they also fully co-operate." 
 
The Syrian government says it will only allow aid co-ordinated through itself and the UN to reach Aleppo. 
 
Meanwhile, UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said it had recorded no casualties in the first 48 hours of the ceasefire, contradicting earlier Russian accounts of two government troop deaths on the Castello Road, which leads to Aleppo. 
 
US Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov have agreed in a phone call to extend the truce for another 48 hours, the US State Department says. 
 
"There was agreement that as a whole, despite sporadic reports of violence, the arrangement is holding," spokesman Mark Toner said. 
 
Some 250,000 people are trapped in eastern Aleppo. Protests have been held against the UN as the area waits for aid but people are enjoying the temporary calm, residents say. 
 
"The streets were always empty before," a member of the rebel Free Syrian Army, Abo Haitham, told Reuters news agency. 
 
"But now people are coming and going, children are playing in the playground. But the downside is that the markets are empty." 
 
In government-controlled western Aleppo, pictures showed young people relaxing outside. Before the ceasefire, districts there were regularly targeted by rebel rocket and mortar fire. 
 
Residents of eastern Aleppo are reported to be in desperate need of fuel, flour, wheat, baby formula and medicines. 
 
Two convoys of lorries carrying aid crossed into Syria about 40km (25 miles) west of Aleppo on Tuesday but were not allowed to go much further, Reuters reports. 
 
One issue holding back aid deliveries is that al-Qaeda affiliates operate in the area, which may mean the main route into Aleppo is not yet safe, the BBC's James Longman in Beirut says. 
 
The Syrian truce 
 
 
<ul>
<li>A deal was brokered by Russia and the US that began with a nationwide ceasefire from Monday between the armed opposition and the Syrian government, but not jihadist groups</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The ceasefire will be renewed every 48 hours if it holds</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It is meant to allow for "unimpeded and sustained humanitarian access" to besieged areas, including Aleppo</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If the truce holds for a week, Russia and the US will bomb militant groups together, including so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (formerly the Nusra Front)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The "legitimate opposition" are meant to distance themselves from such groups</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The deal has faced widespread scepticism, not least because the US backs anti-government rebel groups while Moscow is a key ally of the Syrian government</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The deal could pave the way for a political transition, the US says</li>
</ul>
 
Since the truce came into effect on Monday, accusations have been made against both rebels and government forces for sporadically violating it. 
 
But it appears to have largely held. 
 
The deal, described by Mr Kerry as the "last chance to save a united Syria", was struck on Friday in Geneva after months of talks between Russia and the US. It requires both sides to allow unhindered access for humanitarian aid. 
 
The number of deaths recorded since the beginning of the conflict in March 2011 recently rose above 300,000, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group. 
 
However, it said it estimated the full death toll to be about 430,000. 
 
Mr Kerry said 450,000 had been "slaughtered" in an interview with National Public Radio on Tuesday. 
 
More than 4.8 million people have fled abroad, and an estimated 6.5 million others have been displaced within the country, the UN says. 
 
If the truce holds... 
 
Jihadist groups like so-called Islamic State and Jabhat Fateh al-Sham face the joint might of the Russian and US air forces 
 
Moderate rebels and civilians in the areas they hold will no longer face the threat of indiscriminate air strikes such as barrel-bombing although the Syrian air force will not be grounded completely; aid deliveries will be allowed to areas currently under siege 
 
President Assad will be in a stronger position as the US and Russia engage two of his most effective military opponents while moderate rebels observe the truce with his forces 
 
Syria's history of failed deals: 
 
 
<ul>
<li>February 2012: Syrian government "categorically rejects" an Arab League plan calling for a joint Arab-UN peacekeeping mission.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>June 2012/January 2014/January 2016: Three failed UN-sponsored peace conferences in Geneva.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>September 2013: Kerry and Lavrov negotiate a deal to strip the Syrian government of its chemical weapons in return for the US backing away from air strikes. Since then, the government has again and repeatedly been accused of using toxic chemicals against rebel-held areas.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>February 2016: World powers agree in Munich on a nationwide "cessation of hostilities" in Syria excluding jihadist groups. There is no agreement on any joint US-Russian operations. The "pause" quickly unravels as Assad promises to regain control of the whole country.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>March 2016: President Vladimir Putin declares "mission accomplished" in Syria and orders removal of "main part" of Russia's air army in Syria. Russian air strikes have continued ever since.</li>
</ul>

UN scores Duterte's 'striking lack of understanding' of human rights institutions

11:43:00 AM

The top official of the United Nations' human rights efforts on Tuesday criticized President Rodrigo Duterte for his statements that "display a striking lack of understanding of our human rights institutions and the principles which keep societies safe." 
 
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein made the comments on Tuesday in his opening speech at the 33rd session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. 
 
"The President of the Philippines's statements of scorn for international human rights law display a striking lack of understanding of our human rights institutions and the principles which keep societies safe," Al Hussein said. 
 
"Fair and impartial rule of law is the foundation of public confidence and security. Empowering police forces to shoot to kill any individual whom they claim to suspect of drug crimes, with or without evidence, undermines justice. The people of the Philippines have a right to judicial institutions that are impartial, and operate under due process guarantees; and they have a right to a police force that serves justice." 
 
He also urged the Philippines to invite the UN's Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions amid the rising death toll in the Duterte administration's war on drugs. 
 
"My Office is ready to assist, including with respect to rule of law institutions and the prevention and treatment of drug use in accordance with international norms," he said. 
 
The remarks from Al Hussein are the latest in a series of critical statements from UN human rights officials against Duterte's drug war, which has claimed the lives of more than 1,400 drug suspects in police operations, according to government data. More than 1,900 others have been killed by unknown gunmen. 
 
Last month, UN special rapporteurs Agnes Callamard and Dainius Puras called on the Philippine government to stop the extrajudicial killings of persons linked to illegal drugs. 
 
In response, Duterte threatened to have the Philippines withdraw its membership from the UN. 
 
The animosity seems to remain, with Duterte turning down a one-on-one meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit last week. Duterte also skipped the meeting among ASEAN nations and the UN at the event.
