A Verdict Shaped by Politics

The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte is one of the most closely watched political events in recent Philippine history. Beyond the legal arguments lies a harder question: how much is this costing taxpayers, and what is it buying them?

Numbers Game: Where Allegiance Weighs More Than Evidence

Filipinos are known for the ningas-cogon attitude, that kind of short-sighted, easily discouraged outlook in life, where in the end nothing gets done to solve a problem.

"The impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte increasingly appears, to her supporters and many observers, less like a constitutional exercise and more like a campaign aimed at weakening her political standing ahead of 2028.

Kapag dumarating ang FIFA World Cup, tila buong mundo ay humihinto upang panoorin ang pinakamalaking torneo sa football o soccer. Mula sa mga batang naglalaro sa kalye hanggang sa mga matatandang nakatutok sa telebisyon, iisa ang sigaw....suporta sa kanilang paboritong bansa. Nakalulungkot lamang isipin na sa kabila ng matinding hilig ng maraming Pilipino sa sports, wala pa ring pagkakataon ang ating pambansang koponan na makapasok sa World Cup.

Impeachment Trial Komentaryo

Living in fear, lack, hatred, anger, jealousy, envy, poverty, sickness, scarcity, as against living in peace, love, joy, happiness, prosperity, abundance, harmony, and success.

A written submission has reached the United Nations Human Rights Council, and it deserves more attention than it has received. It argues plainly that the continued detention of former President Rodrigo Duterte at the International Criminal Court is not justice but arbitrary detention, and that the process behind it should trouble every Filipino who believes in due process and national sovereignty.
