Kris Aquino knows why she don’t have television show anymore: “Hindi naman ako type ng mga Duterte supporters”

Former television host Kris Aquino believes the real reason why her comeback in T.V is still not yet possible.

During a press conference for her upcoming movie, Aquino said that the possible reason why she’s still not yet receiving offers to become a talk show host again are her ties with the Liberal Party and the bitter relationship between President Duterte and her former network ABS-CBN.

She said that because the franchise of the ABS-CBN is at stake after the threats of the President against the media giant, they may not want to upset Duterte and his supporters by giving Kris another show in television.

President Duterte criticized ABS-CBN and vowed to block their franchise renewal because of not airing his political advertisement during the presidential elections in 2016.

“I know that their (ABS-CBN’s) franchise is at stake. I’m being so honest, diretsahan na ‘yan so why do they risk it by giving me a show especially na kahit wala naman kaming isyu ni president (Duterte), hindi naman ako type ng supporters niya. So naiintindihan ko kung bakit wala,” Aquino said.

However, her career is still alive and boasted that many brands still paid her as their endorser.

“Pero they can see me every night if they want to, I’m online and I have 53 brands supporting me.” Aquino said.

Aquino also said that she had some plans to establish a talk show on social media, but she didn’t disclose more additional details.

“I was forbidden to say more, I’m sorry. Sinabi ko nga eh, normally wala akong kinakatakutan pero ang kontrata at non-disclosure agreement kinakatakutan ko,” she said.

Kris Aquino became the main target of the Duterte supporters after she criticized Presidential Communications Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson over the video that the latter posted featuring Ninoy Aquino.

The two exchanged in a heated word war on social media and even President Duterte apologized to Kris Aquino for what happened.

Fr. Jerome Secillano of CBCP on Duterte’s tirades against Catholic Church: Pagkakataon ito para tignan ang sarili namin and to better ourselves

Unlike the other Catholic Priests who quickly engaged President Rodrigo Duterte in a word war after the latterly released tirades against the Catholic Church, one priest has better thoughts on how they would handle the anger of the President on the most prominent religion in the Philippines.

Father Jerome Secillano of the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) public affairs committee believes that engaging the President in a word war would only “worsen the matter” and only “add fuel into the fire.”

“”Isipin mo, halimbawa, may patutsada ang Pangulo tapos sasagot naman kami sa Simbahan, hindi matatapos ‘yan. Kaya kinakailangan dito prudence,” Secillano said.

Fr. Secillano, who was interviewed by ANC believes that the attacks of Duterte against the Catholic Church would be a big chance for the priests to have a self-reflection and think if they really need to improve themselves.

He said that if Catholic Church turned into a defensive mode against the President, that would be a bad move for them.

“Every tirade against us is an opportunity for us to look into ourselves. Binabanatan kami, tingnan din namin ang sarili namin, hindi ‘yung nade-defend kaagad kami, di ba?” he said

“Malaking pagkakataon ‘yan. Ano ba talaga’ng kulang sa amin?” Secillano said.

The priest seems to understand why President Duterte attacks against the Catholic, saying that the tirades of the most powerful official in the Philippines are an indication that they need to improve themselves and make better things.

“We priests need to better ourselves. This is what I discovered about myself, and perhaps I can do better things than this. I can be better than this,” he said.

Father Secillano is also optimistic that the Catholic Church and the government would be reconciled easily.

According to him, an official to Malacanang is already communicating with the CBCP to talk about several matters to prevent another misunderstanding and word war.

“Let’s work together for the common good, we have the same goal to make every Filipino better, have a better life, maybe we have differences in our strategies, but perhaps maganda dito ay gawin nalang natin kung anong makakabuti,” Father Secillano said.

In terms of protecting the other priest, Father Secillano believes that buying bulletproof vest and helmet for them would not be afforded by the Catholic Church.

He saw that the only possible option is the cooperate with the Philippine National Police (PNP) and ask for some security.

Arming priests are also unbecoming and appropriate, Secillano believes.

President Rodrigo Duterte since the election period in 2016 is already slamming the Catholic Church for being critical against him.

He even distributed a book wrote against the Catholic Church called the “Altar of Secrets” which contains the darkest secrets of some priests in the Philippines.

Duterte even said that one of the priests who got killed had an affair with several married women.

Because of this, some critics of the government believes that Duterte has a role in the killings of three Catholic priests.

However, Duterte denied the accusations of his critics.

A doctor writes open letter to Archbishop Villegas: “You have to pay taxes, too. For the Bible tells us so.”

Doctor Ethel Pineda, an avid supporter of President Rodrigo Duterte wrote an open letter addressed to Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines President Archbishop Socrates Villegas whom apparently blaming the government for the killing of several priests.

On June 11, Archbishop Villegas denounced the killing of Father Richmond Nilo and urged President Rodrigo Duterte ‘to stop the verbal persecution of the Catholic Church,’

In his statement, Villegas said:

“They are killing our flock. They are killing us shepherds. They are killing our faith. They are cursing our Church. They are killing God again as they did in Calvary,”

Many supporters of President Rodrigo Duterte believes that the “they” which Villegas is referring to in his statement is the government, and the Catholic Church might blaming the current administration for the killings of their priests.

As a response, Ethel Pineda, who’s also read the statement of Villegas asked the Archbishop for clarification, if the latter is really referring to the government.

She said that Villegas should criticize the government directly and provide an evidence to the people that the Duterte administration is the one who really ordered the assassination of several priests.

Pineda was disturbed that the Catholic Church seems to side with the opposition forces and using the death of their priest to destroy the image of President Duterte by putting the blame on him.

The doctor also listed several teachings of the Bible, proving that God even commanded their believers to obey the government and its leaders.

She also pointed out that even the Catholic Church should not be exempted in taxes and showed a bible verse that would support her point.

You can read the open letter of Pineda below:

“They are killing our flock. They are killing us shepherds. They are killing our faith. They are cursing our Church. They are killing God again as they did in Calvary.”

Who are “they,” Archbishop Socrates Villegas?

Do you mean this government? Why don’t you say it outright, instead of couching your assertions in pronouns? Why don’t you, so you can provide the people proof that it is the government doing the killing, if you are so sure of that. Innuendos do not build a case. They mislead. Something that a true shepherd will not do to his flock.

Do you know who killed the priests? Do tell us, because we, too, want to see the face of the “outrageously evil” murderers. Tell the police. Help bring them to justice. That is your civic duty.

It is very disturbing and plainly disappointing that the Catholic Church chooses to side with the forces that conspire and scheme to bring down the duly-elected president who enjoys unprecedented popular support.

Archbishop Villegas. Isn’t this what the Bible says?

“Every person must obey the leaders of the land. There is no power given but from God, and all leaders are allowed by God. 2 The person who does not obey the leaders of the land is working against what God has done. Anyone who does that will be punished.

3 Those who do right do not have to be afraid of the leaders. Those who do wrong are afraid of them. Do you want to be free from fear of them? Then do what is right. You will be respected instead. 4 Leaders are God’s servants to help you. If you do wrong, you should be afraid. They have the power to punish you. They work for God. They do what God wants done to those who do wrong.

5 You must obey the leaders of the land, not only to keep from God’s anger, but so your own heart will have peace.”
Romans 13.

But wait, there’s more!
Romans 13:6 says something that’s tailor made for you.

“6 It is right for you to pay taxes because the leaders of the land are servants for God who care for these things. 7 Pay taxes to whom taxes are to be paid. ”

Sweet.
Not only do you have to obey the president you disdain. You have to pay taxes, too.
For the Bible tells us so.

The death of Father Nilo has become a national news and even some senator wants to investigate the crime because they believe that there’s some “pattern” between the death of the priest and the verbal attacks of President Duterte against the Catholic Church.

Meanwhile, Philippine National Police already arrested the suspect behind Father Nilo’s murder, who’s identified as Adell Roll Milan.

Milan was identified as a former drug user and hitman.

However, some critics of the government believe that Milan is only a fall guy and urged the opposition politician to dig deeper into the case.

Agriculture Sec. Piñol slams 4ps: “Tinuturuan ng 4ps maging tamad ang mga Pilipino”

Department of Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol slammed the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) during his visit to South Cotabato on Wednesday, explaining that this program only teaches Filipinos how to become unproductive.

Piñol his speech during the sidelines of distribution of Post-harvest facilities in the town of Tupi, couldn’t stop himself from criticizing 4Ps, insisting that the system on this program must be changed.

He claimed that most of the beneficiaries of 4Ps are only in their house, not working and just waiting for the money that they would receive from the government.

The worst part is the money that some of the beneficiaries receive are only being used to fund their gambling expenses, according to the agriculture secretary.

He said that the reforms that he proposed would change the system of 4Ps and its fund would only be used to give livelihood programs to its beneficiaries.

Piñol believed that this reform would avoid its beneficiaries to become lazy as they need to work to earn profit from the funds that they received from 4Ps.

He said that livelihood program such as poultry and farming would be the best alternative from the current conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme of the government to fight poverty.

“Instead of giving it out in the forms of dole-out every month, why don’t we start a livelihood program using that money so that the 4Ps beneficiaries would be contributors to agriculture production instead of them not being able to participate right now,” Piñol said.

Piñol is planning to ask the congress and senate to help him to implement this reform because he believes that the 70-B funds of 4Ps are only wasted because of the current system.

Despite some lawmakers opposed Piñol’s proposal, the agriculture secretary is ready to debate with them to prove that the current system of 4Ps is a failure.

Vice President Robredo on arresting bystanders: “Hindi krimen iyong pagtatambay”

Vice President Leni Robredo questioned the move of the Philippine National Police (PNP) to arrest nighttime loiterers around Metro Manila.

In her statement, Robredo asked the PNP to explain why they’re arresting people just because they’re a bystander.

She believed that being a loiterer is not a crime and the police must only arrest them if they violated any law.

“Ano iyong dahilan kung bakit pinapaaresto? Kasi hindi naman krimen iyong pagtatambay. Kung may krimen na ginawa talagang may karapatan para hulihin,” Robredo said.

“Pero kung tumatambay lang, hindi iyon krimen at walang dahilan. Kung hindi naman nakakaabala sa iba, kung hindi naman gumagawa ng masama, walang dahilan para ipaaresto,” she added.

Last week, cops arrested hundreds of loiterers around Metro Manila for violating the local ordinance.

Some of them were caught drinking outside during nighttime, having no proper clothing and minors violating the curfew ordinance.

“Kung wala namang ginagawa dun, kino-caution, sinasabihan lang naman natin eh, pero kung may violation ng ordinance yun ang dadamputin natin,” NCRPO Chief Guillermo Eleazar said.

But, Senator Kiko Pangilinan opposed the recent actions of the PNP saying that loitering have been already decriminalized during the former Aquino administration.

“Republic Act 10158 has decriminalized vagrancy, amending Article 202 of the Revised Penal Code,” he said in a statement on Monday.

President Rodrigo Duterte told the police to become strict when it comes to loiterers, saying that “they are potential trouble for the public.”

Meanwhile, Malacanang defended the decision of Duterte, saying that he only wanted a strict implementation of city ordinances as part of government’s fight against criminality.

“It is more of crime prevention; hence, the President’s remarks are for the police to ask those who stay late at night in the streets to go home.  Now, should they be arrested if they refuse? The President as a lawyer knows that if no crime has been committed, there is no basis for arrest. But just the same, he would rather that those loitering should go home so that those people with bad intentions are thwarted,” Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a statement.

Senator Pangilinan reminds PNP: Legal na ang pagiging tambay ngayon!

Last week, hundreds of bystanders also widely known as “tambays” has been praised by many netizens because they believe that people should stay at home during nighttime.

But Liberal Party President and Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan seems didn’t like the operations conducted by Philippine National Police (PNP) against some bystanders, pointing out that loitering was already decriminalized during the former Aquino administration.

“Para po sa mga tagapagpatupad ng batas, hindi na po krimen ang tumambay, o mag-loiter. Republic Act 10158 has decriminalized vagrancy, amending Article 202 of the Revised Penal Code,” Pangilinan said in a statement.

He also reminded the cops that their salary was already doubled by the government, so they should do their job more carefully and follow the law.

“Doble na sweldo ng mga pulis, sundalo, at lahat ng uniformed personnel ng pamahalaan. Gampanan niyo naman ang inyong tungkulin sa taumbayang pinagmumulan ng inyong kabuhayan at kapangyarihan. Maglingkod nang maayos at nang ayon sa batas.” he said.

“Kayo ang tagapagpatupad ng batas, alamin ito at ipatupad nang tama. Kayo ang dapat manguna sa pagsunod ng batas at hindi pasimuno sa paglabag dito. Sumunod sa batas at hindi sa utos na lumabag dito.” he added.

Pangilinan is not the only one who opposed this new order of President Duterte, Akbayan party-list representative Tom Villarin also criticized the arrest of some bystanders because it imitates the situation during the martial law period.

“Nothing wrong with fighting crime being a responsibility of government. But if you go down to going after tambays and having them thrown in the Pasig River, then something must be afoot now that President Duterte views common crime being a national security threat,” Villarin said in a statement.

On June 13, President Duterte said called the loiterers as “potential trouble” and said that the streets should only be used by law-abiding citizens.

He warned the loiterers, not to go out in their homes during nighttime because they might face arrest, or else worse than that.

“‘Pag hindi kayo umuwi, ihatid ko kayo doon sa opisina ni ano—Pasig. Ako nang bahala. Ilagay mo lang diyan. Talian mo ‘yung kamay pati—ihulog ko yan diyan sa…”

Several days after the statements from Duterte, hundreds of ‘tambays’ faced arrest in different parts of Metro Manila.

Meanwhile, the Palace defended Duterte’s statement against the loiterers, said that the former Davao City Mayor only wants a stricter enforcement of city ordinances to fight criminality.

“The President’s remarks are for the police to ask those who stay late at night in the streets to go home. Now, should they be arrested if they refuse? The President as a lawyer knows that if no crime has been committed, there is no basis for arrest,” Roque said in a statement.

He also urged the people not to hesitate to report alleged tanim bala scheme to the government.

Netizen Kristine Bumanglag-Moran on June 15 said in her Facebook post that she was victimized by “Tanim Bala” in NAIA, however, she was not forced to cancel her flight because of the new policies of the government against the infamous modus.

Meanwhile, Department of Transportation (DOTr) said Sunday that the security personnel who checked the luggage of Ms. Bumanglag didn’t commit any irregularities during the inspection.

According to them, the luggage of the government employee was still wrapped in plastic when they discovered the bullet via x-ray operator.

They also found out that the father of Ms. Bumanglag is a retired Marine while her brother is working as a cop.

Statement of DOTr 

DOTr also assured that the people would never be victimized by tanim bala again because of their new measures that would prevent the scam.

“Note that since the Duterte administration took over, not a single passenger has missed a flight due to a piece of ammunition. Not a single passenger was asked to pay any amount to anyone, which is what the “tanim bala” scheme is all about.” DOTr said in their statement.

Veteran journalist reveals that PRRD is going to expose immoral priests and nuns

A veteran journalist believes that the Catholic Church in the Philippines is in a panic because of President Rodrigo Duterte’s plan to drop a big revelation against priests and nuns.

In his Facebook post, Jay Sonza, claimed in a short Facebook post that the Catholic Church wants to talk with Duterte because the President is on the verge of revealing the dark secrets of the biggest religion in the Philippines.

He said that President Rodrigo Duterte might publicly name the priests and nuns who are having an affair with some people, a thing that strictly forbidden in the Catholic Church.

This is what he said:

some bishops and priests are reportedly asking for an urgent dialogue with the president.

this, after the chief executive allegedly warned that he will soon exposed and name bishops, priests and nuns who are married, have live-in partners, girlfriends and/or boyfriends, bore sons, daughters or children to different women and men.

why am i not surprise with this? the president has access to any and all information classified or not.
OMG! what an explosion, if in case…

Sonza revealed the information several days after Malacanang said that they’re open to “talk” with the Catholic Church amid the killings of the some of their priests.

Before, President Rodrigo Duterte revealed that one of the priests who got killed is having an affair with many married women and one of the angry husbands might be ordered the assassination.

He also said that the government should not be blamed for the killing of the priests.

“Look at the matrix. Why would you not be killed? You had an affair [with a wife]of a vice mayor, a police officer, a soldier, a business tycoon. You would really get killed,” Duterte said in Cebuano.

“Then, why blame me? His fellow parish priest is married to a member of the NPA there in Cordillera… It was the NPA who reported first about his death,” Duterte added.

Some netizen expressed their thoughts on the post of Sonza, saying that Duterte is already trying to inform the Catholic Church that they cannot interfere with government affairs.

” Perhaps PRRD just wanted the Catholic Hierarchy to stop interfering with the Government and finally respect the separation of State and Church. CBCP should stop politicking and instead stick their nose on moral and values revovery of their faithfuls.” Mon Pascual Torres said in his comment.

“We should not really be worried and fuss with the sins of our priests. They are just human beings. What we should be concerned with is our continuous relationship with God one on one to also save ourselves.” Lydia S. Astorga said.

Bong Go refuses bank waiver dare by Trillanes: Ayoko ng pirmahan, gusto mo saksakan ng ballpen?

By
pinoytrend
-

Special Assistant to President Christopher “Bong” Go during an interview with reporters on Saturday, indirectly responded to the dare of Senator Antonio Trillanes IV who challenged him to sign bank waiver.

It seems that Go was annoyed because Senator Trillanes terms in the one-on-one challenged that he offered to the opposition politician.

Go rejected Trillanes’ challenge for him to sign a bank waiver, instead, he asked the opposition Senator if he wants a ballpen-stabbing fight.

He said that instead of speaking in public against the government, Trillanes should accept his man-to-man challenge.

“Ball pen lang pala ang gusto mo. Waiver na naman? O saksakan ng ballpen ang gusto mo? Gusto mo saksakan? Kahit saang kampo, puntahan kita,” Go said of Trillanes’ dare in an interview with reporters.

“Tanggapin muna ni Trillanes ang hamon ko sa kanya, kaysa dada siya nang dada. Ang hamon ko sa iyo, one-on-one, sa Tagalog, ‘mano-mano.’ Walang kasamang amo, at baka lalo ka lang maduwag,” he added.

The Special Assistant of President Duterte said that he would only sign a bank waiver if Trillanes would defeat him in his challenge first.

“‘Pag natalo mo ako, pwede ka ng maghamon at kung meron kang makitang billion sa akin, sa ‘yo na,” Go said.

Last week, the word war between Bong Go and Senator Trillanes became intense after the latter claimed that the assistant of the President is lying to the people that he doesn’t want to run for senator while his supporters are putting alleged campaign materials around the country.

In response, Go challenged Trillanes into a one-on-one and mocked the Senator who’s a former Navy Officer for his two failed coup’ attempt.

Kung gusto mo one-on-one na lang tayo. Basta one-on-one na lang tayo. Bahala na kahit anong one-on-one. Kahit saan, bahala ka na kung saan,” he said.

Is the infamous “tanim bala” is back in NAIA?

Netizen Kristine Bumanglag-Moran, a government employee, shared on her friends how she was almost victimized by the tanim bala scheme which already victimized hundreds of passengers since 2015.

In her post, she said that the bullet had been found in her luggage at Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminal 3 gate 2.

When her luggage passed the X-ray, one of the officers asked her bags to be opened.

She was shocked when the officer discovered that there’s a bullet in the front pocket of her baggage.

Because of this, she started to panic and yelled at the airport employees, introducing herself as a government employee like them.

“Mga ******* kayo! Hindi pa pala tapos etong palabas nyo! Ako pa ang na timing-an niyo! Nagta-trabaho ako sa gobyerno tulad niyo! Mga ***** kako kasama ko ang naak ko na kaka-discharge lang sa hospital tapos ang nanay ko na senior citizen,” the angry government employee told the airport staffs.

After she introduced herself as a government employee, an airport police officer approached her and asked her about the problem, and she informed the authorities that she’s not going to tolerate what happened during that day.

A senior airport police officer also talked to her, instructing her to put her complaint in the logbook.

They also asked for her ID, but she refused, instead she presented her mother’s senior citizen ID.

In 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered to end the alleged bullet-planting scheme in NAIA and he warned the airport employees that if the modus has been repeated during his term, he would not hesitate to shove bullets in their mouth and fire them all.

“Kayong nasa NAIA, pag may tanim pa dyan, lahat kayo alis,” Duterte said in an interview.
