HUMARAP SA HEARING SI PNOY, UMURONG ANG MGA BUNTOT NINA JV EJERCITO AT DICK GORDON

"As long as I live, i won't let anybody in this country hurt Pnoy and his family."

By Larry Hermoso

Ang tatapang niyo tumira kay Pnoy at sa mga tauhan ni Pnoy na nagpatupad ng Dengvaxia.

Nagyabang kayo JV at Gordon sa harap ng media na dinare niyo si Pnoy na humarap sa hearing tungkol sa Dengvaxia.

Pumunta si Pnoy, ang aga pa niyang dumating kanina, 10:05. JV pa-VIP ka pa, late ka pumasok. Porket Chairman ka ng Committee of Health ng Senate, nganga ka naman.

Ikaw naman Gordon, dakdak ka na ng dakdak. Introductory speech mo pa lang sa hearing, nakakainis na almost 30 minutes pa. Tapos yung mga in-invite mo na mga resource persons puro alipores ni Duterte.

Pinapunta mo pa yung lawyer ng VACC na si pandak Topacio at nag-grand standing naman tong si pandak at nag-rerecommend na idemanda si Pnoy at ang mga tao na nagpatupad ng Dengvaxia vaccine, eh walang namang kinalaman ito sa hearing.

VACC, through pandak Topacio, was trying to accuse Pnoy and his men by using the hearings in the Blue Ribbon Committee and the evidences that came up on the hearing itself. Another fishing expedition, just like what is happening with the Impeachment case of Serenp conducted by the House Justice Committee in Congress.

Style talaga ni Duterte at ang mga tuta niya ay bulok, "ang hilig magdemanda pero wala namang ebidensiya."

Nakakainis ang hearing mo kanina Gordon, puro ikaw lang nagsasalita. At kapag nasesemplang ka ng mga tauhan ni Pnoy na in-invite niyo na magsalita tungkol sa Dengvaxia vaccine ay nagagalit ka.

Eh halos buong hearing ngayon ay ikaw lang nagsasalita, at dinidiin mo na may anomalyang nangyari sa pag-approve ng Dengvaxia vaccine sa panahon ni Pnoy.

Eh di ba wala kang nasabi nung nagsalita si Pnoy at sinabi niyang kaya niya inaprubahan ang Dengvaxia Vaccine ay para masugpo ang dengue incidents sa buong Pilipinas.

Si JV, nung makita si Pnoy, pangisi ngisi na lang at nagpasalamat na lang kay Pnoy sa pagpunta sa hearing.

Di ko na kailangan i-discuss ang buong nangyari kanina sa hearing kasi ipapalabas naman ito sa Tv mamaya, so i'll just give my opinion regarding the Dengvaxia Vaccine issue.

Take note that when Sanofi offered the Dengvaxia vaccine to the Philippines in December 2015, ay ito ang tanging vaccine that will help eliminate the dengue menace in our country. The vaccination program was then launched by April 2016.

It was also approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) upon its commercial release on December 22, 2015.

At dahil si Pnoy ay mabait na presidente ay in-approve niya ang pagbili ng Dengvaxia vaccine to eliminate dengue.

You see here a president looking for a solution for a problem, so what's wrong with that? Di nangurakot si Pnoy sa pagbili ng Dengvaxia vaccine. Alam nating lahat iyon.

And nobody in the senate, not even Gordon nor Duterte, can prove that there was an anomaly by the government, the DOH and Pnoy regarding the buying of the Dengvaxia vaccine.

During the approval of the P3.5-b purchase which the Department of Budget and Management released a SARO (special allotment release order),  of the Dengvaxia vaccine from Sanofi, there was no study yet even from WHO nor any other independent health groups, both in the Philippines and outside of the country, that Dengvaxia has negative effects on dengue victims nor even to those who never had dengue.

The negative effects from the Dengvaxia vaccine occur when the antibody-dependent enhancement predisposes the dengue-naive recipients causing a more severe clinical disease. Instead of fighting the sickness, it more or less attracts dengue more severely from the recipient of Dengvaxia. Lalong lalo na kapag ikaw ay hindi pa predisposed sa dengue.

The World Health Organization even stipulated that any country in the world can use Dengvaxia vaccine on their discretion if the country chooses to use it to fight Dengue, anybody can use it if they needed it. Last year the only cure for dengue was the Dengvaxia vaccine.

The findings of the negative effects from the Dengvaxia vaccine was only found out no less than 2 years later after the vaccine's launch in 2016.

Now, Gordon is using again his chairmanship of the Blue Ribbon Committee in the senate to blame Pnoy and his government for the Dengvaxia vaccine problem, which before it wasn't a problem but an answer to the problem.

This means, that Dengvaxia in 2016 was the only solution to eliminate dengue, was the only viable option. That is why Pnoy and his government immediately acted on this because dengue is proliferating so fast in our country, so urgently he acted upon it and approved of the Dengvaxia vaccine.

During the hearing, Pnoy had said in his report that if he hadn't approved of Dengvaxia, people would be asking the opposite of what they're asking of today.

 If you were presented a minuscule solution to a problem that not only helps the Filipinos, but can ultimately stop the disease itself, when countless of tests were made and was, during that time, a valuable and useful solution, are you to pass that chance? Are you willing to ignore a cure and let thousands of people suffer just because you did?

At the end of the day, Dengvaxia vaccine is a solution to dengue, but in science the only permanent thing is change. Specifically in scientific studies of drugs, some drugs are considered good today, but in the future or tomorrow can be prohibited from public consumption.

It's but simple logic that some drugs are recommended by doctors and other medical institutions and have been used by the public for years, until they're not effective anymore, even more so when it is deigned dangerous for one's health. What is useful today can (and will) be useless tomorrow.

Para din po yang pagkain. May pagkain po tayong kinakain almost every day for 20 years, na yun pala, more intake of the said food can increase the chances of cancer.

To make the long story short, Duterte is just finding dirt and fault on Pnoy's clean name, using his lapdogs like Gordon, Wiggy, the VACC,  JV and many more.

They're trying to create problems, this mass hysteria, that will scare the Filipino society, and turn this problem into anger and blame this to a man of integrity and decency like Pnoy.

But with this case of the Dengvaxia vaccine, Duterte and his men still failed to prove and find evidences that will nail down Pnoy.

At present, Duterte can't find a single dirt out of Pnoy's name.

Sorry for you, Duterte and your lapdogs. You're fighting against somebody who is honourable and respectable and without a speck of dirt or flint on his name.

Funnily enough, even Duterte himself said in a press briefing that if he was in the position of Pnoy, he will do the same. This is pure hypocrisy on the part of Duterte, because he still wants the Dengvaxia hearing to resume.

Pnoy is much, much better than you Duterte. As a president and even more as a human being.

STATEMENT: No to a Second Extension of Martial Law/Proclamation 216!

Want create site? With Free visual composer you can do it easye are Mindanawons who are deeply troubled by the decision of President Rodrigo Duterte to seek for a second extension of Martial Law and the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in Mindanao, which was first declared through Proclamation 216 s. 2017.e are unconvinced of the need to continue Martial Law beyond December 31, 2017. Rule of law demands that we satisfy the Constitutional provision that Martial Law can only be declared when there is actual rebellion or invasion. Military reports, the pronouncements of national leaders, and the letter of Pres. Duterte to Congress cited what could be described as unfinished business and potential threats. But they did not factually point to any actual rebellion or invasion in Mindanao.

We find it disquieting that the President consistently defers to the military on the matter of Martial Law. While the security sector should provide information that can help government in making vital decisions, the ultimate decision-making should rest with civilian authority.  Despite many reforms in the security sector, there are hawkish elements and agenda that need to be reined in. The democratic mandate given to this administration by the results of the 2016 elections is also an expectation that civilian rule be upheld by those we voted into office.

We are confident that even without Martial Law, government has sufficient will, capacity and support to continue to address the  problems of Mindanao. Although facing many challenges, most of the local governments in Mindanao have not been incapacitated and are functional. Governance challenges are best resolved through civilian, rather than military and adventurist, means.

This is not the first time that the words “rebellion” and “terrorist” were used in describing the country’s circumstances to rationalize drastic and heavy-handed changes. Marcos’s Proclamation 1081, which mentioned Mindanao at least 13 times, also used those as justifications.

Proclamation 1081 cited Mindanao in association with the terms “lawlessness,” “fear and panic,” “chaos and disorder,”  “armed clashes, killings, massacres, arsons, rapes, pillages, destruction of whole villages and towns and the inevitable cessation of agricultural and industrial operations, and “state of actual war.”  Rather than prevent the escalation of those troubles, Proclamation 1081’s arguments became a self-fulfilling prophecy for Mindanao under Marcos’s Martial Law.

History shows that considerable hurts and harms were caused by Marcos’s proclamation that started out as a promise to “maintain law and order,” “suppress all forms of lawless violence as well as any act of insurrection and rebellion and to enforce obedience to all the laws and decrees, orders and regulations.”

We fear that the avowed intentions of an extended Martial Law—to “quell completely and prevent same from escalating to other parts of the country,” for “public safety” and to “enable government and the people of Mindanao to pursue the bigger task of rehabilitation and the promotion of a stable socio-economic growth and development”—would lead to an eventual return to the same repressive conditions, if not worse, that Mindanawons encountered under the time of Marcos.

We are also disturbed by the issuance of Proclamations 360 and 374 that respectively terminated the peace negotiations between the Philippine Government and the groups represented by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and designated the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA) as a terrorist organization. These, along with the extension of Martial Law, are ingredients for exacerbated armed conflicts in Mindanao.

With the peace process abandoned and with majority of the CPP-NPA’s forces said to be in Mindanao, we can only expect more wars that tragically would also be additional reasoning for Martial Law. Mindanao and its peoples would all the more be trapped in a vicious loop of violence, stunted growth, unchecked poverty, repression, and armed resistance. Even if fraught with complications, a peace process is still the most reliable way of achieving durable peace.

From the time Proclamation 216 was issued on May 23, 2017, we noted incidents that indicate worsening disregard for civil and political rights in the guise of counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism. These include the reported food blockade in indigenous communities in Surigao del Sur, the deaths of indigenous leaders in South Cotabato legitimately fighting for their ancestral domain, and arbitrary arrest and torture involving the Bangsamoro in Davao del Sur and other places.

Civilian voices from Lanao del Sur pointed out that a continuing state of Martial Law is unnecessary  after the “liberation” of Marawi City had been declared by no less than the President. We share their belief that Marawi will be rebuilt by the hard work of its peoples with the assistance of partners who are respectful of the choices of the Meranaws and with a view to resolving the causes of the conflict—and not by the direction of one dominant sector wielding special powers.

We cannot support an extraordinary measure that is based on flawed premises and dangerous promises.  We cannot gamble on 365 more days of Martial Law which Pres. Duterte himself described as a situation where “the military runs supreme… because when you declare Martial Law it is really an implicit admission that the police alone or the law enforcement agencies of the country which do not ordinarily include the military is called upon to help restore order.”

We call on our legislators to block a second extension of Proclamation 216 in Mindanao and any moves to declare a nationwide state of Martial Law.

We urge citizens to persist in standing against a return to militarism and authoritarian rule in our country.

Bitter lang pala si Justice Teresita de Castro

Sinabi ni Associate Justice Teresita de Castro na sya ay disappointed ng i-appoint si Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno sa pinakamataas na position sa Supreme Court. Dalawang taon pa lang daw as Associate Justice si Sereno at para daw sa kanya ang chief justice ay kinakailangan alam ang batas, court procedure, at alam kung paano i-manage ang isang malaking institution kagaya ng Judiciary.

“I fully know that she was just two years as associate justice of the court. I would refrain from commenting how she was as an associate justice. But I think what’s important is that one who was appointed as chief justice must have a full grasp of the law, court procedure, and how to manage a big institution like the judiciary.” Associate Justice Teresita De Castro

Para raw kay De Castro, ang pinakamahalagang quality ng isang Chief Justice ay ang pagiging “trustworthy”.

“The Chief Justice must be someone who’s very turstworthy, because we can’t be forever looking over her shoulder, finding out if she accurately wrote down the decision reached by the court en banc in an executive session without any stenographer being present.” – Associate Justice Teresita De Castro

Kung trustworthiness pala ang isa sa quality ng isang Chief Justice, aba lalo naman hindi katiwa-tiwala ang pagmumukha nitong si Associate Justice de Castro. Ang kapal naman kasi ng mukha nito na makipag dinner pa kasama si dating President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Si Justice de Castro ay itinalaga ni dating Pangulong Arroyo sa Supreme Court nuong 2007 na sinasabing kabayaran sa kanyang pagpapakulong kay dating Pangulong Erap Estrada.

Alam naman natin na maraming kaso itong si Arroyo at umabot pa sa Supreme Court. Ano nga ba ang decision ni Justice de Castro sa mga kaso ni Arroyo? Lahat po pabor sya para kay Arroyo. Ngayon, Justice De Castro, sino po ang trustworthy sa inyo ni Chief Justice Sereno, ikaw na nakikipag-party sa may kaso sa korte na tao o si Sereno na hindi kailanman gumawa ng ginagawa mo?

Malamang, kasama ka sa mga magkakasabwat para tanggalin si Sereno dahil hindi nyo magawa ang gusto nyong gawin ngayon. Yang pagmumukha mo, hindi katiwa-tiwala, Madam Justice de Castro. Masyado kang sipsip kay Arroyo at malamang siya ang may pakana ng lahat ng ito kasama na rin siempre ang pangulo na madalas na nagsasabi na ipatatanggal niya si Sereno.

Ganito na ba talaga ang pamahalaan ngayon? Inaamin ko mali ang ginawa ni dating Pangulong Aquino ng kanyang manipulahin ang proseso ng impeachment para matanggal sa position si dating Chief Justice Corona at ngayon nga ay inuulit na naman ng mga tutang nasa Kongreso.

Kung hahayaan natin na ang mga pulitikong ito ang gagawin na sisirain ang mga institution ng gobyerno para sa pansariling interest, wala talagang mangyayari sa Pilipinas. Ang nangyayari, ginagamit ng mga ulopong na politiko at mga bias justices ang kanilang mga positions para magsabwatan para sa kanilang sariling interest.

Buking! Source ni Mocha Uson ng kanyang mga posts, Fake NEWS blog

MANILA, Philippines – Presidential Communications Operations Office Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson constantly accuses legitimate news organizations of bias and being purveyors of fake news.

Yet her account, which has 5 million followers, posts a number of misleading content from dubious sources, including what appears to be her favorite, going by the number of times she has shared their content in a span of one year: Trending News Portal (TNP). (READ: 'MOCHA USON: Fake news victim or fake news peddler?' )

In just one year, Uson has shared TNP content more than 500 times, way more than any other website whose content she has disseminated.

What is TNP and what kind of content does it produce and spread? Here's what we found:

TNP’s brand of news

On its website, TNP describes itself as "a digital news outfit specializing in trending news that become viral sensations online."

It produces thousands of online content every year. The data on TNP’s Facebook page recorded at least 769 posts in the year it started. This catapulted to 3,041 posts in 2015, and 4,025 in 2016. As of November 2017, it has recorded more than 3,300 posts already.

Its content is categorized into different sections: News, entertainment, buzz (trending stories), lifestyle, and health. But since the site does not have reporters actually covering these beats, they simply source their stories from news organizations and social media.

This was confirmed by their managing director, Mike de Jesus. When we asked for the name of their editor-in-chief, he said that they currently don't have one, "since we only reblog existing materials found online."

Scraping the headlines of all the content posted on its Facebook page shows the following as the top 20 key words every year since 2015:

• Entertainment news

Entertainment stories seem to be TNP's forte in its first two years of existence.

Some of its earliest content featured updates about the Youtube couple Jamich and hit television show Pinoy Big Brother. They also write about celebrity gossip and interviews, sourced from other media organizations and social media.

• Viral content

For TNP, social media is a treasure trove of content. It blogs about anything that goes viral, from inspiring photos and stories to cringe-worthy, caught-on-cam footage. It also produces original memes and viral content.

Its most shared posts in 2014 for example, were all stories about viral posts and video sourced from social media.

But indiscriminately reporting viral content, without verification and checking the credibility of its source helps spread misinformation online.

TNP, for example, recently wrote about a viral post by the Facebook page ‘Tulfo Action Agad.’ It showed video of an airline crew caught opening passengers’ luggage.

Neither the post nor the report provided any detail about the supposed crime – they failed to mention where and when it happened. TNP said "this case is not so new in the Philippines," then cited two instances of baggage theft that happened in the country.

The truth, however, is that the incident actually happened at the Phuket International Airport in Thailand, involving crew who stole a camera from a Jetstar luggage. But both the report and the post went viral anyway, with many netizens being misled to think that it happened in the Philippines.

• Shift to politics

It was in 2016 when TNP started to adopt a more political tone. President Rodrigo Duterte and detained senator Leila de Lima have become two of their most written about figures.

TNP's top keywords

But the penchant for reporting anything viral without actual verification also amplified black propaganda campaigns against those regarded as critics of the president.

On June 25, 2016, for example, TNP published a story reporting a viral photo of Leni Robredo and an alleged "leftist" she married before Jesse Robredo. It had the headline, "Leni Robredo's Alleged Wedding Photos To Her First Leftist Husband Before Jesse Robredo Goes Viral Online!”

The photo, however, was not of Robredo. It was instead taken from an unknowing netizen who posted it to greet his parents on their wedding anniversary.

In another instance, TNP published a "breaking" story with the headline, "De Lima Begged Marcelino Not To Reveal Her Involvement in Bilibid Drug Trade."

The story referred to Lt Colonel Ferdinand Marcelino who was arrested during a raid on a shabu warehouse in Manila in January 2016. The story, however, just mentioned De Lima visiting him in prison just before the elections in 2016, without stating the reason for the visit.

As it turned out, Marcelino's affidavit – released after charges against him were dropped in May 2016 – indicated that he and De Lima discussed the raid and dismantling of a shabu laboratory in Camiling, Tarlac when she visited him in prison.

The posts have already been deleted.

TNP's story on De Lima's visit to Marcelino

• Pro-Duterte

Just as they published stories against the President's critics, they also published several stories in 2016 that expressed strong admiration for Duterte.

"Talagang hindi natatakot si President Duterte sa mga Threats na kanyang natatanggap dahil malakas ang paniniwala niya sa ating Poong may Kapal. Kaya mahal na mahal namin kayo President (sic),” TNP wrote in a post in July 10, 2016. This came with a story with the headline, "Duterte Unafraid of Threats Says 'God will Decide.'

(President Duterte is really not afraid of the threats he has received because he has strong faith in our God. This why we love you so much, President.)

"Napaka humble talaga ni President Duterte kahit isa na siyang ganap na Presidente ay ganito parin siya manamit,” they said in another post in the same month. Their story had the headline, "The Humble President Wears His Slippers In Bahay Pangarap. Must See!"

(President Duterte is so humble. Even if he is already a president, this is still how he dresses.)

"Talagang parami na ng parami ang sumusuporta kay Duterte pagdating sa pagsugpo sa krimen sa bansa, Iba talaga ang Duterte Effects sa lahat ng Filipino," they wrote in a post on July 4, 2016.

(Duterte is surely getting more and more supporters when it comes to fighting crime in the country. There really is something about the "Duterte effect" on all Filipinos.)

A closer look into their 2016 posts shows that content about Duterte started as early as March 2016, during the campaign period. Duterte was consistently their top topic starting April.

Uson also started sharing content from TNP in April 2016, a month before elections.

Good move?

Shifting their focus from entertainment to politics, whether deliberate or not, proved to be beneficial for TNP.

Its Facebook page's engagement, or the total number of reactions, comments, and shares of posts saw its biggest increase in 2016, the year President Rodrigo Duterte won the election and spent his first months in office.

Their total engagement increased 5 times in just one year, from 2015-2016.

The followers of TNP’s Facebook page – in existence since May 2014 – have since risen to over 3.7 million in November 2017.

In the last 6 months alone, Tnp.ph has been enjoying an average of 1,440,150 website visits every month, according to SemRush, a digital marketing suite that provides competitive traffic analysis, among others. This excludes views on the mirror site, tnp.today.

Network of pages

TNP’s reach on Facebook extends beyond its own page because it has been given a boost by several fan pages for celebrities and pro-Duterte pages such as:

• Jamich (8.2 million followers)
• Unofficial: Maja Salvador (5.5 million followers)
• Barkada FM (2.4 million followers)
• Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa Supporters (932,000 followers)
• Pinoy Radio (913,000 followers)
• Kitty Duterte Supporters (625,000 followers)
• Alan Peter Cayetano Supporters (353,000 followers)
• Alex Gonzaga (191,000 followers)
• Jam Fernando Sebastian (127,000 followers)

In many cases, TNP’s content was posted on these pages with the same caption and within minutes of posting on TNP’s Facebook page. Sometimes, they were posted at the exact same time.

For example, TNP’s story about a supposed “political scientist” slamming former President Fidel Ramos, when he criticized President Duterte, was posted on Facebook pages TNP, Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa Supporters, and Alan Peter Cayetano Supporters on May 29, 2017 at exactly 2:30 am.

Not only were they posted at the exact same time but also with the exact same caption: “Wala akong masabi dito! Basahin niyo po ang kanyang pahayag tungkol kay Ex. President Ramos! Ano po ang masasabi niyo?” (I’m speechless! Read ex-President Ramos’ statement! What can you say?)

The posts on the 3 pages have already been deleted.

This has been happening since 2014, where the same content is posted in various pages within a minute or less. For example:

It is organically impossible for two Facebook page administrators to share the same link with the same caption at exactly the same time. This either shows there is a connection between these pages or that they are managed by the same people.

Each one of these groups has a huge following, ranging from over 8 million to over 120,000. Combine all these groups together and they make a network far wider than TNP’s reach of 3.7 million followers – all the more reason why it should be more responsible for their content.

Deleting past posts

But accountability is also an issue with TNP.

Checking their posts and past content has also been tricky because there appears to be unwillingness on their part to be transparent.

For instance, they regularly migrate to a new domain and make their old domains inaccessible. The domain for TNP’s website has been changed several times in the following order: trendingnewsportal.blogspot.com, trendingnewsportal.com, trendingnewsportal.net, trendingnews.portal.net.ph, and the current domain, tnp.ph. They also currently have a mirror site: tnp.today.

TNP also has an exclusion protocol (robots.txt) installed in their past domains which blocks crawlers from the Internet Archive.

It's not only their websites that have been taken down: many of their posts in 2015 and 2016, especially political ones, have already been deleted. This shows a deliberate effort to hide previously published content.

Trending News Portal had a disclaimer on their website saying they cannot vouch for the accuracy, currency, and completeness of their content.

Their editorial process is also undisclosed. The TNP site does not show who is on the editorial board, although it has started to use bylines for stories. In the early versions of their site, a disclaimer said they can't vouch for the accuracy of their reports.

Asked about details pertaining to their editorial process – how they gather news and verify their information before posting – their managing director said, "The inquiry is too expansive to address given the lack in time and some difficulties in coordination" as their "key people are abroad for a two-week trip." – Rappler.com

Cool off lang daw muna sabi ni President Duterte

Sinabi ni Duterte na maaaring muling mag-usap ang NDF-CPP-NPA at ang pamahalaan ng Pilipinas. Bagamat minura-mura na ng Pangulo ang mga komunista, mukhang biglang nagbago ang ihip ang hangin at sinasabi ng pangulo na nasa cooling-off period lang daw ang usaping pangkapayapaan.
Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa ako o matatawa sa aksyon ng Pangulo ng Pilipinas na parang pinaglalaruan ang usaping pangkapayapaan. Hindi naman isang relasyon ito na may cool-off muna. Seryosong usapin ang peace talk at sana rin siniseryoso ito ng Pangulo at hindi gumagawa ng padalos dalos na desisyon.

"Let’s give time for cooling off with the rebels.” - President Duterte

Ang mga Filipino ay sawa na sa mga ginagawa ng mga rebelde sa panggugulo sa Pilipinas at marami na rin ang humihiling ng kapayapaan. Sana lang ang parehong party ay magkausap na muli at tapusin na ang insurgency na halos 50 taon na rin na nakikipag-away.

Sabi ng pangulo, pahinga daw muna tayo at nagkakalabuan lang kung kaya sinabi nya na cool-off muna ang pamahalaan ng Pilipinas at ang komunista.

Nakakalungkot lang na sana ito ay isang magandang legacy ng administrasyon Duterte subalit mukhang hindi matutupad dahil lamang sa pabugso-bugsong desisyon ng pangulo. Sabi nga ni Sec. Bello na isang legacy sana ito.

"Sino ang nagsabi na walang pag-asa? Honestly, i'm sad dahil alam ko  naman na ang legacy na iniisip na ibigay ng pangulo sa ating bansa is a just, inclusive, lasting peace.

Tama si Secretary Bello, kung kaya inuulit ko na sana ang Pangulo ay wag pabigla bigla at dapat pinag-iisipan ang lahat ng kanyang desisyon. Ang Pilipinas ay hindi nya pag-aari kundi siya ay nagsisilbi sa sambayang Filipino. Ang bawat kinikilos nya ay may pananagutan sya sa mga Filipino.
