Senator Christopher “Bong” Go called for respect and truthfulness from government institutions, particularly uniformed personnel, amid the conduct of the Philippine National Police (PNP) during the March 11 arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte.
During the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations' public hearing on March 20, Go underscored the importance of integrity in public service, especially law enforcement.
Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa slammed the administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., echoing Atty. Alexis Medina's legal opinion is that former President Rodrigo Duterte's constitutional rights were violated when authorities surrendered him to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
As he lamented the deep divisiveness in the country over the arrest of former President Rodrigo R. Duterte and his transfer to The Hague, Netherlands for trial before the International Criminal Court, Davao Archbishop Romulo G. Valles said justice must be pursued with fairness and integrity.
“It must remain free from partisan political motivations or personal vendettas,” Valles said in his Pastoral Message to all Christian faithful of Davao on Tuesday.
The recent uproar surrounding DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla and his role in the unfolding drama regarding former President Rodrigo Duterte's “kidnap” to The Hague, Netherlands begs our paramount concern.
The way the situation is shaping up, it’s tough to see how Remulla can maintain any shred of credibility after the hilarious statement he made regarding the "rescue" of a kidnapped Chinese student—and then, well, it turned out to be quite the opposite.
It makes many Filipinos wonder if he has played a much larger role in a questionable political game.
