Former First Lady and now Congresswoman Imelda Marcos has been convicted by the Sandiganbayan of graft and faces a 77-year jail time.

Probably no handcuffs for Imelda Marcos on her arrest – PNP chief
I am in total agreement with Director General Oscar Albayalde. At her age, there is no chance the former First Lady will try to grab the gun of an arresting officer or will try to make a dash for it.

No EJKs in the Phlippines – Sen. Manny Pacquiao
EJKs exist but not sanctioned by the government – Senate President Tito Sotto
Ang tanging kasalanan ko lang ay EJK – President Rodrigo Duterte

Vice President Leni Robredo announced that the alleged indorsement of President Duterte of former senator Mar Roxas confirms the latter’s qualifications. She was referring to that incident where Duterte asked people to vote for Roxas.
Robredo did not do her Math again. During the birthday of Senator Manny Pacquio last December, Duterte said he wants Manny to be the next president.

The Washington Post reported that an 82-year-old Texas woman voted for the first time and shortly thereafter, died.

Though President Rodrigo Duterte denied Chinese national Michael Yang was his economic adviser, records from Malacañang show the Palace entered into two contracts with Yang, giving him the title of “Economic Adviser to the President”, Rappler reported.
No doubt about it President Duterte is Yang at heart.

The PNP is protesting the portrayal of policemen in the “Probinsiyano.”
Any police character in the teleserye said some people are immune from arrest due to old age, report that when they went to arrest someone inside his cell in prison, he fought back so they had no recourse but shoot back, kill a Korean near their headquarters, raped a teenager in exchange for the freedom of her parents?
