Bato dela Rosa should apologize to Akbayan Rep Perci Cendaña and the “broader disability community”. But the Senate ethics committee should investigate why a lawmaker is hurling threats of bodily harm. That is a crime, anyway you look at it.

Pro-impeachment groups and urge the swift convening of the impeachment court. “The constitution says the trial shall proceed ‘forthwith’ once the impeachment article is transmitted, so the Senate should not pass the ball,” said Neri Colmenares.

What’s not in the statement: Rodrigo Duterte’s minions killed the franchise despite government agencies debunking false claims of illegal acts. It was an exercise of brute power on the best of their main patron, Duterte

Must watch!
The POGO paper trail leads to layers of companies that branch out everywhere. We imported scammers, we exported them too. The full scope of the network is uncertain, but what is definite -- the problem did not start and will not end with Alice Guo. Watch:
