BREAKING: OMBUDSMAN BOYING REMULLA, PINAIIMBESTIGAHAN SA DOJ ANG DAVAO PROSECUTORS SA KASO NI PHILIP LUSTRE! JOURNALIST, UMALMA SA WARRANT NA HINDI NIYA RAW NALAMAN, CYBERLIBEL DECRIMINALIZATION IPINANAWAGAN!
Bakit naglabas ng arrest warrant laban sa isang beteranong mamamahayag na hindi umano nabigyan ng pagkakataong sumagot sa reklamong isinampa laban sa kanya?
Ito ang seryosong tanong na dapat masagot sa kaso ni Philip Lustre Jr., matapos manawagan si Ombudsman Jesus Crispin โBoyingโ Remulla na imbestigahan ng Department of Justice (DOJ) ang naging paghawak ng mga prosecutor sa Davao City sa kanyang cyberlibel case.
Ayon kay Remulla, kailangang alamin kung bakit hindi nakarating kay Lustre ang subpoena at iba pang dokumentong dapat sana ay nagbigay sa kanya ng pagkakataong ipagtanggol ang sarili bago umusad ang kaso.
โKailangan maimbestigahan ng DOJ โyan kung anong nangyari bakit hindi dumating. Anong nangyari sa subpoena, anong nangyari sa documents na ipinadala sa respondent,โ ani Remulla sa mga panayam noong Oktubre 26.
Mas mabigat ang kanyang babala: posibleng ginagamit ang maling address upang hindi makatanggap ng abiso ang isang respondent, kaya dapat hindi basta umaasa ang mga prosecutor sa impormasyong ibinibigay ng nagrereklamo.
โMay modus kasi โyan, โyung mga nagfa-file ng kaso, binibigyan ng wrong address ang prosecutor and sometime the prosecutor has to rely on the complainant,โ pahayag niya.
Pero malinaw din ang paalala ni Remulla sa mga prosecutor: โEh dapat hindi nangyayari โyan. It should not happen.โ
Dagdag pa niya, โKailangan pag-aralan ng DOJ โyan na hindi na mangyari.โ
Ang punto ng Ombudsman: may tungkulin ang mga prosecutor na tiyaking tama ang address at maayos ang proseso. Hindi sapat na may dokumentong ipinadala kung hindi naman nasisiguro na nabigyan ng pagkakataong sumagot ang taong kinasuhan.
PHILIP LUSTRE, INARESTO BAGO RAW NAKASAGOT SA REKLAMO
Si Lustre, 72, ay inaresto sa Quezon City noong Oktubre 24 matapos maglabas ng warrant ang Regional Trial Court Branch 10 sa Davao City. Nagpiyansa siya ng โฑ48,000 at nakalaya rin sa araw na iyon.
Ang cyberlibel complaint ay iniuugnay sa isang Facebook post noong Marso 6, 2026 na nagtatanong tungkol sa umanoโy โฑ300 milyong ibinigay ni Manases โMansโ Carpio, asawa ni Vice President Sara Duterte, para sa isang operasyon ng Marines na may kinalaman umano sa mga โbagman.โ Ang alegasyon ay itinuturing na mapanira sa reputasyon ni Carpio. Ang mga paratang sa post ay hindi dapat ituring na napatunayan dahil lamang naging batayan ang mga ito ng reklamo.
Ayon kay Atty. Dino de Leon, abogado ni Lustre, hindi umano nakatanggap ang kanyang kliyente ng subpoena o abiso noong preliminary investigation. Dahil dito, wala raw siyang pagkakataong magsumite ng counter-affidavit o pormal na sagutin ang mga alegasyon bago umabot sa paglalabas ng warrant ang kaso.
Sa press conference noong Oktubre 28, sinabi ni De Leon na nakumpirma nilang si Carpio ang complainant.
โWhen we obtained the case information, we confirmed that the complainant was Atty. Manases โMansโ Carpio, the husband of Vice President Sara Duterte,โ ani De Leon.
Idinugtong ng abogado na kilala si Lustre sa pagtatanong sa pamilya Duterte, kabilang ang pagsusulat niya ng librong Kill, Kill, Kill tungkol sa drug war noong panahon ng administrasyong Duterte.
โNot a surprise because Ka-Ipe is a vocal person asking the most difficult questions against the Dutertes. He, after all, authored โKill, Kill, Kill,โโ dagdag niya.
Kinuwestiyon din ni De Leon ang umanoโy dobleng pamantayan sa paghawak ng mga kaso.
โWhy is there such double standards in this country? When itโs a Duterte or someone powerful, the treatment is different. When theyโre the complainant, everything happens so quickly,โ aniya.
CHIEF PROSECUTOR, INAMING MAY DUE PROCESS LAPSE
Hindi lamang si Remulla ang nagpahayag ng pagkabahala. Inamin din ni Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon na maaaring hindi nabigyan ng due process si Lustre dahil hindi siya nagkaroon ng pagkakataong sagutin ang reklamo.
โI would have to agree with them that they were not given due process as they were not given the opportunity to answer,โ ani Fadullon sa panayam noong Oktubre 26.
Ayon sa paliwanag ni Fadullon, nakabatay umano sa lumang impormasyon ang address na ginamit sa pagpadala ng notice, kabilang ang detalye tungkol sa dating koneksiyon ni Lustre sa isang pahayagan. Dapat sanang beripikahin ng prosecutor ang mga impormasyong ito sa halip na basta umasa sa nakasaad sa complaint records.

โBAKIT ATAT NA ATAT TAYO?โ
Kinuwestiyon ng abogado ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa na si Atty. Israelito Torreon kung bakit tila minamadali ng pamahalaan ang pag-aresto sa senador habang nakabinbin pa sa Korte Suprema ang mga kaugnay na usapin sa pagpapatupad ng Section 17 ng Republic Act No. 9851.
Hinala ni Torreon na maaaring taktika lamang ito upang mailihis ang atensyon ng publiko sa isyu ng ilegal na droga at sa umanoโy mga pagkukulang ng administrasyon ni Pres. Bongbong Marcos.

We support this call, and we intend to file a measure to decriminalize libel and cyber libel, which are being used by powerful and influential people to stifle dissent, attack press freedom, and weaken democracy.
Abuse of free speech should be met with accountability, but weaponizing our laws to curtail this right is excessive and unacceptable.
Huwag na ring magkunwari o magpalusot โyung ibang mga nagsasampa ng ganitong kaso para manindak at patahimikin ang mga mamamahayag. Alam naman natin kung sino yung mga naninira lang at nagkakalat ng fake news and disinformation, at yung mga lehitimong media, journalists at seryosong nagtataguyod ng katotohanan at pananagutan.
โNO JOURNALIST SHOULD BE TREATED AS AN EASY TARGETโ

Chinese Communist Party supporter from Indonesia admits that Mbappรฉ wasnโt even making a political statement when he called Mao a dictator - itโs just a terror campaign designed to scare celebrities into never speaking against the CCP. โKill the chicken to scare the monkeys - heโs the chicken.โ
Ask yourself if this is the world you want to live in.
If China ever truly surpassed the United States they would implement the biggest international reign of terror in history - permanent censorship of everybody forever, nobody ever allowed to tell the truth about their fucked up history and fucked up political system.
It offends me to my very fucking core. I fucking hate it dude. I hate the expectation that we must all censor ourselves and bend the knee and accept this psychotic humiliation ritual every time the feelings of Han Chinese ultra-nationalists are offended over the slightest missteps. Their pathetic Third World mentality, this toxic mixture of ultra-aggression and arrogance born out of deep insecurity and resentment towards the West. Itโs just so disgusting and repulsive to me on such a visceral level.
Itโs funny, obviously I came up as a hardcore anti-CCP activist and people know me as some kind of hardcore โChina hater.โ
But as I became more right wing recently and โLee Kuan Yewโ pilled I was actually starting to gain a bit of newfound respect for Chinaโs economic development and modernisation post-Deng Xiaoping - their YIMBY approach to development, their gleaming new cities, their beautiful high speed train system, their zero tolerance approach to petty crime which ensures they donโt have mentally ill crackheads wandering around stabbing people on the train like we have to endure in American cities. These are all parts of the Chinese system that I unironically have respect for and admire even as a longtime anti-CCP activist.
And I even have respect for some CCP leaders. Despite my longheld disgust for Tiananmen I overall have a lot of respect for Deng Xiaoping because he moved China away from the disasters of Maoism and embraced economic development.
I unironically greatly respect his pragmatism to the point that some of the Deng quotes are unironically my favourite political sayings:
โIt doesnโt matter if a cat is black or white so long as it catches mice.โ
โHide your strength, bide your time.โ
โCross the river by feeling the stones.โ
I unironically refer to these Deng quotes all the time and legitimately use them in my day to day life as quotes that guide me.
So their soft power was starting to work on me, I started to wonder whether I had been mistaken.
China opened itself up to tourism in recent years. Friends of mine started to visit China and reported back to me that they had seen technological marvels. That their Tier-1 cities were amazing. I started to wonder whether I had been wrong.
And then they come out with something like this - this deranged terror-censorship campaign to silence people in the West - and completely and instantly obliterate all their soft power for me in a second.
It instantly reminds me that the spirit of Third Worldism - this toxic cocktail of historical resentment, insecurity and racial hatred towards the West - still haunts China today.
This is not how a strong and confident nation behaves. Strong and confident people do not need to prosecute mass terror campaigns to censor foreigners living IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. Thatโs the thing that disgusts me most about this all. How fucking dare you try tell us how to think and feel in our own countries? If a Westerner ran around Chinese cities insulting Mao, fine, I would legitimately accept you deporting them and kicking them out.
But how dare you try censor us in our own countries, speaking in our own languages, in our own internal discourse. How dare you prosecute this as a terror campaign. Fuck you. Such a disgusting and repulsive mentality.

The Chinese Embassy's latest statement about me is not a rebuttal. It is a self-portrait.
First, the Embassy is now a purveyor of fake news. Its own spokesperson and the FFCCCII said the Chinese teachers left because their families worried about Ray Powell's articles. My name was nowhere. On the "PR stunt," my statement thanked the PLA Navy, contrasted it with how the China Coast Guard treats our fishermen, and asked why a warship was in our EEZ. This is the same Embassy that circulated a garbled translation of my post to claim I "threatened" the Ambassador.
Second, the statement proves China does not care about international law. No UNCLOS, no 2016 Award, no legal basis. Instead: Iraq in 2003 and a Pompeo quote. A grievance against Washington does not explain a water cannon fired at a BFAR vessel in July or a survey ship off Batanes without the consent Article 246 requires. Every disclosure I make comes from PCG cameras and crews, not foreign intelligence.
Third, this is a mission that threatens rather than engages. The Ambassador said China could "easily win" by force; the DFA summoned him, the President called it a threat. The Embassy then warned of reciprocal action against our officials and answered a legitimate question with "the ignorant are fearless."
The Filipinos who actually pay a price are the fishermen water-cannoned at Bajo de Masinloc. My job is to show what our cameras record. If the footage is propaganda, your quarrel is with the footage. The Embassy can attack me all it wants; the cameras will keep rolling.

SARAโS DEFENSE CAUGHT IN ITS OWN 8-DAY TRAP
Sara Duterteโs defense team previously said it needed eight days per impeachment article. With the prosecution withdrawing three of the four articles, the defense now faces pressure to present its case more quickly.
Government records from the COA, BIR, AMLC, and SEC have raised questions about confidential fund spending, declared wealth, and financial transactions.
The defense must now address these issues with evidence as the trial moves forward. Attempts to prolong proceedings could draw further scrutiny, but the court will ultimately determine the merits of the allegations.
The challenge is clear: answer the financial questions with evidence, not just political arguments.

MARCOS ON WEAKENING PESO: โDONโT PANIC, WE HAVE THE MEANS TO DEFEND ITโ
WATCH: President Bongbong Marcos urged Filipinos not to panic as the Philippine peso sank to a new record low of โฑ64.17 against the US dollar on Tuesday, Oct. 27, breaching the โฑ64 level for the first time.
Speaking to reporters at the New Bilibid Prison on Wednesday, Oct. 28, Marcos attributed the pesoโs depreciation partly to rising global oil prices and a strengthening US dollar, assuring the public that the countryโs foreign exchange reserves remained healthy.
โWe have all the tools to defend the peso,โ Marcos said, adding that the government was also working to bring down food prices amid inflationary pressures. | @TristanNodalo
