Maybe this is the first time that she will hear this. There’s one other lady governor here who — it was a long time ago when we were still young — was my girlfriend. Did you know about that)?” the President said.

“Pero siya na man gyuy akong true love, Honeylet. Kani sa tanang nakit-an nako, mao ni negosyante na mutuo gyud ko ana (But she is really my true love, Honeylet. Out of everyone else that I know, she’s the one that I will really believe in),” he added.

He also proudly shared to his audience that his current partner became rich because of being good in handling businesses.

“OFW lang ni. Pero maayo mu… Kay valedictorian ni eh. Oh tinuod na. Iyang anak naliwat niya (She was just an OFW. But she is good at… Because she’s a valedictorian. That’s true. Her daughter takes after her),” Duterte said.

Duterte said that Avanceña who’s a former nurse working overseas save money to expand her business that started during her college days.

“Agsugod lang intawon og usa kabuok Mr. Donut katong likod sa UM. Didto unya niadto siya’g Amerika, nag-ipon og kwarta, trabaho. Overseas worker man ni (It just started with just one Mr. Donut store, the one at the back of UM. And then she went to America to work and save money. She’s an overseas worker),” Duterte said.

“Pag-uli niya, naka-capital siya, nag-franchise napud siya’g usa unya nisulod pagka kaning karne. Kanang karne diha iya na (When she came home, she had saved up for capital, she franchised another one and then ventured into the meat business. The meat being sold here is hers),” he added.

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.

Senator Bam Aquino explains to the press why the third extension of martial law in Mindanao might be illegal.

During an ambush interview, Aquino believes that there’s should be an actual fight happening in Mindanao before the government can implement martial law.

“Kailangan may mangyari munang aktwal na bakbakan, hindi lang skirmishes,” Aquino said.

According to him, the 1987 constitution made the conditions to implement martial law stricter to avoid being misused by future leaders.

“So babalik tayo sa depinisyon ng konstitusyon, babalik ka rin doon sa ano ang hangarin ng constitutional commission who created the constituition.” he said.

“Ginawa talaga nilang mas strikto, nilagay nila yung ‘aktwal’ na salita para maging limitado talaga ang pag gamit ng martial law,” he added.

Despite these explanations, the opposition senators which includes him failed to block the third extension of martial law after receiving a mass support from both lower and upper house.

In his Twitter page, Aquino explained in a lengthy tweet why he wants the martial law in Mindanao to end.

According to him, the war in Marawi is already ended with a victory from the government, that’s why he believes that martial law should be removed now.

“Nagtagumpay na ang AFP sa gera ng Marawi laban sa Maute, kaya’t nararapat na tanggalin ang Martial law.” he said.

He believes that soldiers can do their job to secure the people even without martial law.

“Extraordinary Powers ang martial law, hindi ito pangkaraniwan o pang araw-araw. At kaya ng AFP na gawin ang kanilang trabaho kahit wala ito. Huwag dapat maging dependent sa martial law para gawin ang tungkulin at trabaho.”

Aquino also pointed out that if the priority of the government doesn’t need martial law to make it possible.

“Ang prayoridad na rehabilitasyon, good governance, long-term peace and order, development at pagtugis sa mga armadong elemento ay hindi nangangailangan ng martial law upang maipatupad. Kaya naman itong gawin dahil sa mandato ng AFP at sa natatamasang suporta mula sa gobyerno.” he said.

Since martial law in Mindanao was implemented by President Duterte, Aquino is already one of the senators who opposed it.

Another gift-giving operation has been captured by the netizens and uploaded it on Facebook.

Since martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus has been implemented in Mindanao, militant groups from especially from Luzon and Visayas expressed organized many rallies against it.

And for the third time, the said groups and some critics of the Duterte administration who’s not living in Mindanao tried to block the martial law implementation in the said island, while the Mindanaoans expressed their support to it.

One Mindanaoan netizen couldn’t stop herself from criticizing the people of Luzon and Visayas for opposing the martial law in Mindanao despite without experiencing the mess happening in Mindanao personally.

Cheeny Kee (@KeeCheen) captured the attention of the netizens because of her tweet against the people who opposed the martial law extension.

In her tweet, she questioned why the people of Luzon and Visayas opposed the martial law if they’re not living in the southern part of the Philippines in the first place.

She also said that if they can just switch position and let the rebel groups wreak havoc in Luzon and Visayas.

“Kaming taga Mindanao suportado ang MArtial Law Kayong taga Luzon andami nyong drama mas apektado pa kayo. Baliktarin kaya natin? Lipat namin sa inyo Abusayaf, MILF, BIFF, MNLF, ISIS, MAUTE, NPA at etc Tapos kami mag rarally lang kunyare we care..” Cheeny Kee tweeted.

The tweet reached thousands of reactions from the netizens and it even reached Facebook.

Her post received praise from the supporters of the administration, saying that Cheeny only said that right thing.

“Taga Calabarzon (Luzon) ako at AGREE talaga ako sa Martial Law. sana buong bansa may martial law maliban sa Metro Manila (NCR). sila talaga yung tunay na kontrabida. e di sa kanila na lahat ng magulo. gusto nila magulo para hindi umangat ang bansa natin.” @Claud_lokohin said.

However, the tweet of Cheeny Kee also made her engage in some debate with the anti-martial law netizens.

“So ikaw bawal ka ring magsalita tungkol sa Metro Manila ha. Hindi ka naman taga dito e. Ganun kat*nga ang logic mo.”

However, Cheeny Kee managed to burn the netizen who tried to oppose her post.

“So ang lagay kayo lang may right magsalita? If we say enough naabuso na ba rights nyo nun? Sh*t mas kat*ngahan naman ng logic mo” she responded.

Some even mentioned that there’s a ‘historical evidence’ of abuses during the martial law in the past, however, Kee insisted that the martial law in Mindanao so far different from its former implementation.

“historical evidence pero nde guarantee na mangyayari.. gong oo nabubuhay ka sa past. paranoid ka dahil sa “historical eviddence” mo na nababasa.. nangyayari ba sa kabuohan ng Mindanao yung historical evidence mo? Anong rights ba namin ang naalis dahil may ML? hmmmm” she told netizen @philosophist
