Ateneo quickly released a statement saying that they “dealing with this matter seriously beginning with an immediate investigation.”

The school also urged the people to avoid sharing the video.

“We express our concern also about the risks associated with sharing the video, online and in social media groups. Not only has the privacy rights of these minors, been breached but it has also provoked some reactions that do little to help the school in dealing appropriately with the incident,” Ateneo said in their statement.

However, despite the pleading of Ateneo, the video continues to spread on social media receiving different reactions from the netizens.

Some even said that Ateneo wants to delete the video to hide the truth to the people.

Pro-Duterte blogger Sass Rogando Sasot also criticized Ateneo for giving comments about the government while they can’t even control or discipline their students.

 “I cannot post the Ateneo video as it involves children. Pero Ateneo ha…may prof na kayong mahilig sa paa ng esdtudyante, tapos ngayon eh nambubogbog na estudyante sa toilet pa. Nakakaloka. Before you guys lecture us DDS folks on being civilized, pwede ba paki-civilize nyo muna bakuran ninyo?” Sasot said in her post.

Ateneo faced several controversies this year after some of their students and even a professor got involved in illegal acts.

The leadership of the prestigious university is one of the critics of the current administration.

Raissa Robles to Catriona Gray: I wonder if a reporter would dare to ask her about the casualties of Duterte’s EJK

After the victory of Catriona Gray in the 2018 Miss Universe held in Thailand, political writer and fact-checker Raissa Robles expressed her curiosity if a reporter would be brave enough to ask the beauty queen about her stance on the Duterte administration’s alleged EJK

Gray is known for being silent about his political beliefs which according to some netizens, helped her to unite the Filipino people during the Miss Universe pageant.

“When @catrionaelisa comes home, I wonder if a reporter would dare to ask her – Your heart goes out to the children of Tondo. How do you feel about children from Tondo becoming ‘collateral damage’ in the President’s war on dr***s? Do you agree they should be treated as such?” Robles tweeted.

Raissa is referring to the alleged EJKs committed by the Duterte administration in Metro Manila, including Tondo.

The tweet of Robles didn’t receive well by the netizens, asking her not to add politics in the middle of the Filipinos celebration on Catriona’s victory.

“Sumali ka muna ng Miss Universe tapos pag nanalo ka. We will ask that question so go, audition na!” @slingbagboy told Raissa Robles.

Facebook user Bubuy Balangue also express his disappointment over the tweet of Robles, calling her as a ‘prime crab’.

“As the rest of the country and the rest of the world are celebrating diversity, humanity, and equality, while there’s an overflowing vibe of positivity and oneness, here goes pseudo-writer Raissa Robles, bursting everyone’s bubble, trying to rain on Catriona’s parade.” Balangue said.

“When Catriona said she’s representing 104M Filipinos, Raissa and her minions are part of that. Didn’t she get the memo? Or at least show her the playback. Here’s the thing, no matter how much you want to dilute our victory, with your ethnicity issues and politicising Catriona’s views, you will NEVER make a dent.” he added.

After receiving thousands of criticisms, Robles clarified that she’s not questioning the advocacy of Gray who’s known for helping the children in the slums in Tondo, Manila.

“You misunderstand my tweet. I am not at all questioning what catrionaelisa has done in Tondo. I want to know her thoughts on EJKs of children, described as collateral damage. That’s all. Since her advocacy is poverty and children.” she said.

She also believed that as a beauty queen, Gray should use her power to influence people.

“EVERYTHING is political. What is politics if not the wielding of power over others? As Beauty Queen, she wields power, whether she likes it or not. Whether you like it or not. It’s a different sort of power from that of a President. But it’s still power -to sway people to action.” Robles said.

Robles is one of the critics of the policies implemented by the Duterte administration.

Senate President Sotto challenges critics: Pumunta kayo ng Mindanao at doon kayo magreklamo sa mga nakatira doon

Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III challenged the critics of the third extension of martial law in Mindanao to go to the southern part of the Philippines and tell the Mindanaoans about their complaints.

This was after several militant groups, and people from Luzon complained about the martial law extension in Mindanao, saying that it was part of the plan of the government to control the 2019 senatorial elections.

According to him, the martial law critics that go to Mindanao because he believes that’s the right place to voice out their opposition against its third extension.

They should also debate with the Mindanaoans who supported the martial law in their place.

“I wish those against ML in Mindanao to go there and say there what they are saying here,” Sotto said in a text message to the press.

“Kahit hindi tumira. Pumunta lang at duon magsalita ng kontra nila,”  he added.

The said martial law extension received widespread support from the Mindanaoans and politicians.

 

Voting 235-28 with one abstention, Congress granted President Rodrigo Duterte’s request to extend martial law in the South for the third time.

Several testimonies from Mindanaoan also circulated from the internet saying that they favored Martial Law because they feel safer with the presence of the military.

However, several politicians still opposed the third extension, saying that the military can do their job without martial law.

Duterte first placed Mindanao under martial law on May 23, 2017, when the Maute group tried to occupy Marawi City.

He later asked Congress for its extension until December of 2017 but requested again to extend it until the end of 2018.

The third extension of martial law received support from the lower and upper house after their meeting with the high officials of AFP.

After the extension, CPP-NPA ordered to conduct operation against the members of AFP.

Colmenares asks the authorities to treat his ‘distant’ niece fairly after being arrested for selling narco

Former Bayan Muna Representative and now Senatorial candidate Neri Colmenares finally spoke about the arrest of his niece, Teri Marina Silva Colmenares in an anti-narco operation conducted by the members of Cebu PNP.

In his official statement, Colmenares asked the cops who arrested his niece for treating her fairly and allowing her to invoke her fundamental rights.

However, he denied that he knows the local beauty queen personally, but confirmed that the alleged narco dealer is his distant relative.

“As with many Filipinos who do not know their larger extended families, I do not know Teri Colmenares personally although I suspect she is a distant relative as she hails from the Visayas. I am told that her great-grandfather and my grandfather may be cousins.” Colmenares said on his Facebook page.

“Having said that, I expect the authorities to treat her with fairness. Whether she is involved in dr*gs or not, her due process rights, like the rights of any other accused, deserve respect. Shaming, ostracizing, or k*ll*ng dr*g suspects has never been the way to deal with the dr*g problem.” he added.

He also condemned his critics for using the arrest of his niece to taint his reputation.

“It is certainly unfair and malicious to use her predicament to try to besmirch my or any person’s reputation, including those of far distant relatives who happen to share her last name,” he said.

Colmenares was arrested yesterday after being pointed out by a narco user as his source.

After being arrested, Cebu PNP said that the suspect was read and informed of her constitutional rights before she was brought to the station for proper profiling and disposition and will be filed a case in court for Violation of RA 9165.

The suspect’s uncle, Neri Colmenares is a known critic of the President’s war against narco.
