Remembering the ‘91 ash fall

After four months of hearings, officials of the quad committee of the House of Representatives recommended yesterday the filing of charges against former president Rodrigo Duterte and seven others for alleged extrajudicial killings during his term.

The House Quad Committee recommended on Wednesday, December 18, the filing of crimes against humanity charges against former President Rodrigo Duterte and his allies for his war on drugs and its alleged incentivized extrajudicial killings.  The mega panel, which also probed the illegal drug trade and illegal operations of Philippine offshore scam hubs, urged for a police investigation into identified "big fishes" and Chinese nationals perpetuating these criminal activities. 

“Sana po mabigyan na niya (Marcos) ako ng executive clemency,” Veloso said shouting to the members of the media inside the barbed-wired enclosed facility.

The National Bureau of Investigation yesterday filed complaints of falsification and violations of the Anti-Dummy Law against former Bamban mayor Alice Guo and four members of her family before the Department of Justice.

Several groups on Tuesday, December 17, urged the government to allow Mary Jane Veloso to reunite with her family upon her arrival at the airport.
