They even demanded Duterte to visit Mindoro personally if he wanted to talk with the fishermen.

“Wala ring mangyayari sa kanya doon, anong gagawin niya doon? Katulad niyan binalita na wala naman magaganap na pag pupulong, anong gagawin niya doon?” Mrs. Insigne said.

Malacanang is not yet releasing a statement on the recent decision of Insigne to not meet with the President.

The wife of the captain of the Filipino ship that allegedly sunk by a Chinese Vessel along the West Philippine Sea on June 12 expressed her disappointment to the government.

In different interviews, Lani Insigne the wife of Junel Insigne who owned the F/B Gem-Ver said that they canceled their meeting with the President because of their anger after the government downplayed the incident.

Mrs. Insigne said that she called her husband and urged her not to meet the President.

“Wala ring mangyayari sa kanya doon, anong gagawin niya doon? Katulad niyan binalita na wala naman magaganap na pag pupulong, anong gagawin niya doon?” she said.

She also expressed her anger to the Department of Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi who raised doubts on the story of the fishermen led by Insigne.

In another interview, Insigne even challenged President Rodrigo Duterte, saying that if the chief executive really wanted to talk to the fishermen, he should go personally to Mindoro.

“Dapat siya ang pumunta dito,” she said.

On Sunday, it was announced that President Duterte was scheduled to meet Junel Insigne so they can talk about the incident happened in the West Philippine Sea.

However, Insigne made a decision not to meet with the President because of some “personal” reasons.

Meanwhile, it was reported that Vice President Leni Robredo is also expected to meet Mr. and Mrs. Insigne and the other fishermen involved in the WPS incident today.

The issue happened in the West Philippine Sea on Wednesday after a Chinese Vessel allegedly sunk a boat full of Filipino fishermen captured the attention by netizens and also famous personalities.

One of the known celebrities who expressed their sympathy to the Filipino fishermen is Bianca Gonzales who said that incident broke her heart.

“The more details that come out from the Pinoy fishermen and China boat incident, mas lalo nakakadurog ng puso.,” Gonzales said in her post.

The post of Gonzales gathered thousands of likes and a mixed reaction from the netizens, including Mark Lopez who told the celebrity that there’s a far more worse incident happened in 2012 in the West Philippine Sea which also involved Chinese and Filipino.

In his tweet, Lopez told Gonzales that in 2012, a Filipino fishermen’s life was loss after an alleged Chinese vessel bumped their boat.

However, in the report posted by Lopez, it said that the Aquino administration didn’t accuse China for what happened to the Filipino fisherman.

Lopez pointed out that Gonzales didn’t make some noise on her Twitter account during the Aquino administration despite what happened in 2012 are worse according to his belief.

“Eh di nung 2012 pala wasak na wasak ang puso mo dahil may nasawing Pilipino nuon? Naglupasay ka ba sa harap ng Malacanang nuon at nag inarte din?” Lopez said.

Lopez even said that Gonzales is only pretending to be “patriotic”.

President Rodrigo Duterte vowed that public school teachers would finally get the salary hike they wanted.

In his speech in Cagayan De Oro on Wednesday, President Duterte explained that salary hike for teachers is harder than raising the wage for soldiers and police because they’re fewer than the educators in the Philippines.

According to him, it’s easier to find funds for raising the salaries of cops and soldiers, compared to teachers. The government pointed out that they need 150-B pesos to fund a 10,000 pesos hike for all public school teachers.

“Remember that there are millions of teachers. There are only a few policemen, something like 160. There are 130 in the military. It’s easier [to find funds for them]. That is why their salaries have been doubled,” Duterte said.

However, once they found a way to get the right funds for the salary hike, the government vowed that they would quickly implement the raise for the public teachers.

“The President is working on that. And hopefully, that can be responded to. Our economic managers are doing everything to see how things can be done,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said.

Malacanang also reminded the people that the beloved mother of the President was a teacher, an evidence that the chief executive knows the importance of the public educators in the country.

“You must remember that the mother of the President was a teacher and so his heart is with the teachers,”

Presidential sister Jocellyn Duterte-Villarica made a suggestion to the members of KAPA Community Ministry International who saddened by the decision of the government to shut down their religious group.

In a post, Mrs. Jocellyn said that people should give President a chance to investigate KAPA because protecting the people including their money is part of his role as the chief executive of the country.

She also clarified that the President only wanted to ensure that the money of the people is being put in the right place.

If KAPA has been proven to be legal, Mrs. Jocellyn said that she’s also going to invest to the religious group to enjoy 30% interest monthly.

“Pag mapatunayan na ang organisasyon na ito ay hindi isang scam, eh di ipagpatuloy… pero… bigyang liwanag muna kung hindi ba ito mauuwi sa wala sa bandang huli.” Villarica said.

“Anong mawawala sa ganitong pamaaraan? Hindi nman sinabi ni Tatay na ipapasara ang kumpanya, itigil muna ang operation at imbestigahan kung paano ang pamamalakad ng kumpanya… makatotohanan ba at legal?” she added.

“Kung mapatunayan yan, ako mismo ang mag-iinvest, sino ba ang hndi gustong kumita? Marami ng scam ang nangyari na, karamihan ang mahihirap at empleyado at retiree ang biktima.”

Mrs. Jocellyn mentioned several companies that also offered high-interest rates like KAPA in the past, but now are gone and made their investors lose money.

The post of the presidential sister already reached 579 shares as of writing.

Several days ago, thousands of KAPA members expressed their disappointment to the government after the President ordered to shut down KAPA.

Some of them even claimed that they already vowed not to support the Dutertes in their future political plans.

KAPA Community Ministry International got an unusual support from a Senator.

On Friday, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV urged KAPA leader Joel Apolinario to file an impeachment complaint against President Rodrigo Duterte for allegedly trying to disband their religious group.

Trillanes pointed out that President Duterte violated the religious freedom of the KAPA members after he ordered the crackdown of the said group.

He also explained that the government doesn’t have the right to disband a religious group despite allegedly using a Ponzi scheme to lure its members to invest or donate to KAPA.

“Para sa mga lider at myembro ng Kapa, mag file ng kasong impeachment laban kay Duterte for culpable violation of the Constitution (i.e. Art. II, Sec. 6) dahil sa pagbaliwala nito sa kanilang religious freedom,” he wrote on Facebook.

“Para sa mga myembro ng Kapa, maaaring mag file ng class suit laban sa gobyerno at kay Duterte pakatapos ng termino nito para mabawi nila ang kanilang mga “na-donate” na pera. Kung mananalo sa kaso, maari ding ipa-garnish ang lahat ng ari-arian ng Duterte,” he said.

Trillanes also urged the government to let KAPA operate and give their members a chance to retrieve their investment.

“Para sa gobyerno, habang iniimbestigahan nila kung ano man ang violation, payagan ang Kapa na magoperate temporarily, at least 30 days, para mabigyan ito ng pagkakataong isaoli ang mga naiiwang pera na hawak nila para sa kanilang myembro. Gayundin, sa lalong madaling panahon, gumawa ang gobyerno ng inventory ng mga nakuha nilang pera or property mula sa Kapa at gumawa ng distribution plan para sa pag distribute nito sa mga myembro ng Kapa.” Trillanes said.

The post of Trillanes went viral on Facebook and the critic of the President received praise from KAPA members who disliked him before.

“I hate trillanes b4 but i like him now,” Randy Oybobolante said.

“I am not a member of KAPA but may sense si Trillianes. Padalos-dalos lang kasi ang desisyon ng presidente kasi kaalyado nya si Quiboloy. Pero sana mas inisip ang kapakanan ng nakakarami.” Lu Enna remarked

Several days ago, President Duterte ordered to close KAPA for allegedly scamming its members.

KAPA promised to return 30% of their “donations” monthly as part of its “blessing” to its members.
