Are 10 votes too difficult to give for the love of fPRRD?

With the May 12 senatorial elections just over two weeks away, there is no missing the tension in a country on a tailspin caused by massive corruption, soaring loans, official incompetence, rising criminality, and increasing repression, among other things. So much is at stake for a nation already left behind even by its war-ravaged neighbors in nearly every aspect.

Vice President Sara Z. Duterte has rallied behind a coalition of senatorial candidates dubbed the "#Duter10", endorsing their shared vision for national unity.

In her Easter message released on Monday, the Vice President said: “This vision is solid enough to break through the walls of the existing political division in the country.”

Aside from the 10 senatorial candidates running under former President Rodrigo R. Duterte's PDP–Laban, she said reelectionist Senator Imee Marcos and Representative Camille Villar, share the common vision of a peaceful and prosperous Philippines.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — A legal counsel to former President Rodrigo Duterte on Sunday criticized the glaring double standard in the government's handling of overseas Filipino cases, comparing the intense attention on three Filipinos recently jailed in China on espionage suspicions with Duterte's detention at the International Criminal Court (ICC) facility.

Atty. Martin Delgra III, also the spokesperson for Duterte's campaign team, voiced his frustration in a casual interview with Michael King, a Duterte supporter, outside the ICC detention center.
