Former President Rodrigo Duterte struck gold during his Mandaue City rally speech when he denounced the sale of the country’s gold reserves.

“Ang unang gikawat ni Marcos ang atong (The first thing Marcos stole is our) gold reserves. Sigihan na nag baligya ang atong (They kept selling our) gold, hangtud karon (until this.) Gamay na lang kaayo (Very little remain).” fPRRD declared before the crowd that was estimated between 20,000 and as much as 40,000 by organizers.

It had been expected since last year, but Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment finally came like a thief in the night on Wednesday morning.

What President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had tried - unsuccessfully - to do, disavow any interest and involvement in the impeachment of the one who almost single-handedly carried him to victory in 2022, was finally confirmed when his eldest son, Ilocos Norte Rep. Ferdinand Alexander Marcos, top-billed the impeachment complaint.
