SEN. Antonio Trillanes IV yesterday asked the Anti-Money Laundering Council to release a list of bank transactions of President Duterte starting 2006, when he was still mayor of Davao City. In a letter to AMLC, Trillanes told Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Gov. Amando Tetangco Jr. that the public pronouncements of Duterte directing AMLC to open to the public his bank transactions "Would be sufficient for this purpose." "I believe that President Duterte's public announcement to release his bank transactions is just a political bluff because simply writing a waiver addressed to the bank would have been much simpler," he said. Duterte has ordered AMLC to reveal his true wealth and investigate the accusations of Trillanes that he has billions in the bank. Trillanes last week claimed that Duterte accumulated more than P2 billion in several bank transactions since he was city mayor. The senator said it has been months since he first exposed Duterte...

MANILA - Senator Antonio Trillanes IV uncovered on Tuesday that a Catholic priest approached him to facilitate the presentation of retired SPO3 Arthur Lascañas to general society. Trillanes said he at first needed to meet Lascañas "To check whether he would be truly admitting freely" on the grounds that they had an altercation amid the September hearing at the Senate. Lascañas asserted on Monday that the Davao Death Squad killed individuals on requests of then-Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, a pivot from his announcement in a prior Senate hearing that the group was just a result of media buildup. Lascañas probably "Drew near to a few individuals from the Church," and needed to compensate for the greater part of the transgressions he submitted while he was a part of the vigilante group. Trillanes said Lascañas asked of them nothing else except for security for his family, and they offered that "On an, extremely constrained scale." "Before ...

The Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court on Monday gave away the three separate drug cases documented by the Department of Justice against Senator Leila De Lima regarding her asserted participation in the illicit drug exchange inside the New Bilibid Prison. Set to deal with the cases are Muntinlupa RTC branches 204 (Judge Juanita Guerrero), 205 (Amelia Fabros-Corpuz), and 206 (Patria Manalastas-de Leon). The judges will, in any case, need to survey the cases before they could issue a capture warrant against De Lima and her co-charged. De Lima is confronting non-bailable cases for asserted infringement of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act (Republic Act 9165), which conveys a punishment of detainment and fine. The charges depend on the declaration by a few prisoners at the national prison who affirm that de Lima acknowledged cash from drug syndicates and encouraged a drug exchange operation while she was DOJ secretary. The congressperson has more than once rejected the ...

According to REUTERS UK - Police completed killings in the Philippine city of Davao under the guideline of then mayor Rodrigo Duterte, the present president, as indicated by a previous policeman who said he was part of a "Davao death squad" entrusted with wiping out criminals. Arturo Lascanas, a retired Davao policeman, said on Monday he had beforehand killed a radio host disparaging of Duterte at the command of a driver and close associate of the mayor, and that Duterte had paid cash to police for completing deaths. Duterte has over and over denied contribution in vigilantism either as president, or amid his aggregate of 22 years as Davao mayor until late 2015. He and the police have prevented the presence from claiming a Davao death squad, depicting it as fiction "Of the considerable number of killings we did in Davao City, it is possible that we cover them or toss them into the ocean, it is paid (for) by Mayor Rody Duterte," told a news gathering at the...

MANILA, Philippines - Nabiktima ng pagpatay sa internet si Jinkee Pacquiao nung isang gabi. Kumalat sa social media na umano’y napatay si Jinkee matapos nakawan. Siyempre may ilang naniwala agad-agad lalo na ‘yung mga nakikitingin lang sa social media at hindi naman nagbabasa kung ito ay fake. Mabuti na lang at hindi agad-agad pinatos ng mga legit na website. Buti na rin lang at sunud-sunod ang post ni Mrs. Manny Pacquiao sa kanyang Instagram account. At ang isa nga rito ay “Proof of life. I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Psalm 16:8” Isa pang post niya ay photo nilang buong pamilya: “We have nothing to fear if we stay close to the Rock of our salvation.
