Attorney Jesus Falcis, one of the supporters of the opposition revealed something shocking about a pro-opposition blogger who received P25,000 monthly from the renowned talk show host and former Presidential sister Kris Aquino.

The revelation started when the brother of Atty. Jesus, Nicko Falcis has been sued by Aquino for allegedly stealing millions of pesos from the talk show host.

The lawyer, who defended his brother from the accusations said that unlike the other pro-opposition bloggers, he didn’t receive any money from a certain ‘crazy rich Asian’ referring to Kris Aquino.

“Baka ang narinig mong bayarang dilawang blogger eh yung isa. Kung yun, tama ka. 25k a month mula kay Crazy Rich.” Falcis said in his Twitter post.

Several days ago, some Pro-Duterte bloggers revealed that the ‘dilawang blogger’ being mentioned by Falcis is the owner of the pro-opposition Facebook page ‘Pinoy Ako Blog’ owned by Jover Laurio.

Sass Rogando Sasot also addressed Laurio on her Facebook post, asking her two questions about her alleged payroll

1. Jesus Falcis, the brother of Nicko who allegedly stole millions from Kris Aquino, claimed that a YELLOW BLOGGER receives 25K/month from Kris Aquino. Since, YOU are the only Yellow blogger out in the open, are you receiving 25K/month from Kris Aquino? If you’re not the yellow blogger Jesus Falcis was referring to, what can you say about Falcis’ claim?

2. Jesus Falcis recently said that Yellow bloggers shouldn’t comment on his brother, otherwise he would consider them as “crossing the line.” Why haven’t you crossed the line?

Sasot also said that Falcis might already be answered how Jover Laurio funded her paid posts on Facebook to promote her articles.

Laurio also released a statement on the accusations of Falcis against her, saying that she never received money from Aquino.

“Now I am accused of receiving 25k a month. For the record, she is my friend for a long time now. I just don’t talked about it, kasi ayokong madamay siya sa pambabashed sa akin. Ang mga close ko lang na kaibigan at kapamilya ang nakaalam ng fact na ito. Dinedepensahan ko nga ang mga kandidato na iba na hindi naman ako kilala, yung isang kaibigan pa kaya?” Laurio said.

“Wala akong natatanggap na bayad na 25k a month na galing sa kahit na sinong Poncio Pilato,” she said.

Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. despite being the top diplomat of the Philippines showed that he was still a human being and lost his cool when a netizen criticized President Rodrigo Duterte’s outfit at the 33rd Association of Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in Singapore.

BlackHeart0902 on Twitter slammed President Rodrigo Duterte, saying that the Chief Executive should wear proper attire during the said meeting, he even said that Locsin’s outfit is better than his boss.

The netizen noticed that Duterte’s suit was lopsided in the photo, with one side raised above the shoulder.

“Sana man lang binihisan nila ng maayos ang Pangulo. This is an important summit, tapos ganyan. Mas mayos pa ang suot ni DFA Sec. @teddyboylocsin,” the netizen said.

The comment of the said netizen didn’t receive well by Locsin and started to use his favorite word on Twitter when expressing his disappointment or anger.

“Hoy, p*t*ngina, this is not a fashion show. Today I am going in rolled up sleeves barong kasi working sessions lahat. Sh*t. Nobody came in a tuxedo. Hindi sila waiters,” he said.

As of writing, Locsin’s tweet was nowhere to be found.

Locsin is known for cursing on Twitter even before he became a public official.

Most netizens also agree with the opinion of Locsin, saying that people should not focus on the looks of the President.

The President is known for being simple and hates wearing formal attire, that’s why his supporters understand that Duterte is not familiar with fashion.

Be careful of what you’re posting on social media.

The netizens are mobbing a Freelance Programmer right now on Facebook after he wished President Rodrigo Duterte to perish after Manila Bulletin reported about the Chief Executive’s power naps in the middle of the 33rd ASEAN Summit held in Singapore.

In the report, Malacanang admitted that Duterte took several naps during the said event, saying that the President only slept for three hours because of work-related duties.

“Last night, the President worked late and had only less than three hours of sleep. It is unfortunate that the first event scheduled today was at 8:30 a.m.,” Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said.

Duterte who’s the oldest President in the history of our country admitted before that he’s already sick and tired of being the leader of the Philippines, however, he kept doing his job as the people trusted him to lead.

However, some people instead of showing their support to the President are still wishing Duterte to be ill and finally take a rest like a netizen identified as Gilbert GK, a Freelance Programmer from Binondo, Manila.

In his comment in the said article, GK wished the President to pass away and called him useless for choosing to sleep than attending the crucial meetings during the ASEAN summit.

“Maraming salamat po Pangulong Du30 sa pagiging p****** ***** Walang ka kwenta kwentang presidente, Mam*tay ka na po!” GK said in his comment.

The comment of GK didn’t receive well by the netizens and criticized him for saying that kind of words to the President.

Because of the backlash, GK chose to delete his controversial comment. However, it was already too late for him to escape from the backlash as the netizens already got a copy of his comment.

Despite the political difference, people should still respect the President like how we respect old people.

A retired Regional Trial Court (RTC) judge slammed Senator Francis ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan for questioning the government contracts with China and cursed the lawmaker in his anger.

Retired Judge Antonio Lubao in his Facebook post explained to Pangilinan why he should not be worried of the upcoming contracts of the Philippines to China including the bid for the third telco.

Lubao criticized Pangilinan after the Senator told the government to be careful of dealing with China.

Pangilinan also questioned the capabilities of Dennis Uy, who owned the provisional third telecommunications player Udenna Corp that is known to be partnered with China Telecom.

“Government must be extremely careful that because of legal questions this effort will go the way of other controversial China funded government contracts such as the ZTE-NBN deal and the Northrail project which were eventually scrapped due to irregularities,” Pangilinan said.

The retired judge said in his post that Pangilinan should look at his mirror before making such statements about ‘irregularities’ because he believes that the former administration where the senator was allied committed misconducts during their time.

“YES, THE CONTRACTS YOU MENTIONED BELOW WERE ALL DECLARED NULL AND VOID BY THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE OF IRREGULARITIES ATTENDANT TO THE EXECUTION THEREOF. BUT ASK YOURSELF, GUNG*NG, WHOSE IRREGULARITIES? HINDI BA IRREGULARITIES INYO LAHAT NUONG KAYONG MGA LP AT MGA DILAWAN ANG NASA MALACAÑANG? MANALAMIN KA MUNA, UL*L!” Lubao said in his post.

By looking at Pangilinan’s statement and logic, Lubao questioned how the former became a Senator.

He also defended Sen. Pacquiao for allegedly being degraded by his colleague because of his past education.

“T*NGA MO TALAGA! PAANO KA NAGING SENADOR? ANG BABA NG TINGIN NINYO KAY MANNY PACQUIO DAHIL KULANG SA FORMAL EDUCATION. BAKIT IKAW, SI NINOY AQUINO, , SI ABNOY AQUINO, SI MAR ROXAS, SI HONTIVEROS, SI DRILON, SI DE LIMA, SI TRILLANES AT SI ALEJANO, AT LAHAT KAYONG MATAAS ANG EDUKASYON, NAKA-PAG-SALITA NA BA KAYO SA CAMBRIDGE UNION? MAS MAUTAK AT MAS FULL OF HUMANITY PA SI MANNY PACQUIAO KAHIT NA PAG-SAMA-SAMAHIN PA KAYONG LAHAT.” he said.

Lubao also reminded Pangilinan about the controversies faced by the government during the ruling of the Liberal Party.

“ISAKSAK MO SA BAGA MO UG*K ANG YOLANDA, PDAP, MAMASAPANO, KIDAPAWAN , MENDIOLA AT ANG MGA MABABAHONG MGA KONTRATA NA BINANGIT MO NA KAYO ANG MAY GAWA! MANALAMIN KA ULIT AT BAKA MAGISING KA NA SA MAHIMBING MONG PAG-TULOG!” he said.

Danish Ambassador to the Philippines Jan Top Christensen slammed the mainstream media in the Philippines for prioritizing in publishing negative news about the country especially if it’s about the government and politics.

Christensen who spoke before a multi-stakeholder meeting on the safety of journalist said that the news that he’s been reading every day was always negative.

“I read much different media every day and I must say some of these media are systematically negative,” Christensen said.

He also pointed out that the media failed to promote what the government is doing and called them unprofessional.

Christensen also added that some journalists are not following the standards in writing news.

“To me, it’s lack of ethical standards, lack of professionalism,” he said.

However, the envoy said that he recognized the dangers of being a journalist in the Philippines, citing what happened in Maguindanao in 2009.

Christensen is only one of the people who complained about how Philippine media negatively portrayed the country.

Even President Rodrigo Duterte itself criticized several media outlets for writing negative news about him.

One example is when President Duterte slammed social media website Rappler and accused them of spreading fake news.

“You can stop your suspicious mind from roaming somewhere else. But since you are a fake news outlet and I am not surprised your articles are also fake, we can debate. Now tell me where are our lies and tell me where are yours,” Duterte said during his final faceoff with Pia Ranada of Rappler.

Ranada was banned from interviewing the President and entering the premises of Malacanang.

Duterte also said that he would “object” the franchise renewal of ABS-CBN after he accused the media giant of stealing his money during the 2016 campaign period.

“Hindi ko palusutin. Iyong franchise niyo matatapos. But let me ask you questions first. Kasi ako talaga mag-object na ma-renew kayo. Alam mo bakit? Magnanakaw kayo, estapador,” Duterte said.

President Rodrigo Duterte accused Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, his fiercest political critic of using the connection of his father to pass the grueling training during his days as a cadet in the Philippine Military Academy (PMA).

During his speech in Boracay on November 8, Duterte said that Trillanes skipped the training during his cadetship because his father Antonio Sr., was a Navy captain during that time.

According to him, the young Trillanes was always staying in his father’s office while the other cadets are suffering from intense training.

“Yung anak ng opisyal sa PMA, si Trillanes, na hindi man pala sumasali doon sa mga training na ‘yung talagang iihi ka sa pantalon mo. Kasi he was favored because he was always in the office of his father who was working for government, also a military man. Siya pala ang nilakad ng tatay niya,” the President after the President Rodrigo Roa Duterte leads the ceremonial distribution of the Certificates of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) to the Ati tribes in Boracay.

The President also said that his father, former Davao governor Vicente Duterte would never allow him to enjoy special privileges even if he asked for it.

Duterte is not the first man who accused Trillanes of using his father’s position to pass PMA.

Two months ago, the post of Capt. Vicente Cejoco has gone viral on the internet after he claimed that he witnessed Trillanes receiving VIP treatment during his cadetship.

“While his mistahs were dying in the hallways of Melchor Hall during company level punishments or mase-mase, Antonio IV was enjoying in my office cooking and eating lots of boodles along with his 3 room mates.” Cejoco said in the viral post.

“Medyo may pagka shabby/ swapang rin ang mokong na ito. Yung tatay at nanay nya ay palagi umaakyat sa Baguio, sa kwarto ko sa office natutulog. Libre lahat – hatid sundo ko, pakain ko, etc. They usually arrive late Friday afternoon and depart early morning of Monday.” he added.

Several weeks ago, Trillanes accused Duterte of using his father to pass the bar examinations.

“Ang kailangan review-hin kung nakapasa ba talaga ng bar itong si Duterte. Baka nilakad lang ito ng tatay niya kasi governor ang tatay niya noon.” Trillanes said.

However, Duterte quickly debunked the accusation of Trillanes, saying he passed the exam two decades after his father passed away.

Trillanes, a member of the PMA “Marilag” Class of 1995, went on to serve in the Philippine Navy after graduation.

The Senator became known for being one of the leaders of the 2003 Oakwood Mutiny and the 2007 Manila Peninsula siege.

He was elected a Senator while being detained for his alleged crimes.
