Atty. Glenn Chong, a lawyer of former Senator Bongbong Marcos has lambasted Romulo Macalintal, the lawyer of Vice President Leni Robredo after the latter deemed "improper" the request of Marcos for the Supreme Court to deploy three hearing officers for his poll protest.

"ANG TAONG TALAGANG MAY ITINATAGO O KINATATAKUTAN AY GAGAWIN ANG LAHAT HUWAG LAMANG MABISTO," Chong said.

Macalintal said the motion is premature since the SC which serves as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal has not yet held a preliminary conference on Marcos' protest.

"Without the preliminary conference, the motion to have three hearing officers is practically intended to condition the minds of the people, if not those of the members of the PET, of the issues Marcos seems to dictate upon the tribunal. We are not even sure whether the three causes of action raised by Marcos in his protest would be sustained by the PET" Macalintal said.

Macalintal added that three haring officers will be impractical as   there is only one lawyer for the protestant and protestee thus the lawyer cannot be present in every stage of the hearing and cannot be in three places at the same time.

Chong said that the Robredo camp is hiding something.


He said Marcos' request was only a petition for the SC to fasten the progress of the case.

"Unang-una, ang motion ni BBM ay isang mungkahi lamang sa PET upang mapadali ang protesta dahil nga summary ang nature at may preferential status ang mga election protest cases. Ibig sabihin, pinapaiksi ang buong proceso at pinapaboran ang mga protesta kaysa ibang mga kaso dahil nga may nakatakdang termino na matatapos kaya kailangang tapusin din ang protesta sa mas madaling panahon."

Chong also questioned why the Robredo camp is agitated by the "preliminary" move, when they protested how it took Marcos seven months to file a motion.

"Saan ba lulugar si BBM? Noong nagfile siya ng motion na magkaroon na ng preliminary conference matapos ang 7 buwan na hindi umusad ang protesta, siya ang pinagbintangan ni Robredo at Macalintal na sanhi ng pagkaantala ng protesta dahil bakit daw nag-antay pa siya ng 7 buwan bago magfile ng motion. Ngayon, inaakusahan naman si BBM ng dalawang ito na premature o wala pa sa panahon ang pagfile ng motion na ito. Kapag gustong lumusot, ang daming paraan!"

The lawyer insisted that three hearing commissioners are allowed under Rules 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 ng 2010 Rules of the Presidential Electoral Tribunal.

He also hit Macalintal on his defense, as Robredo has three lawyers anyway.

"Pang-apat, 3 naman ang abogado ni Robredo. Kung igigiit ni Macalintal na dapat ay physically present siya sa bawat pagdinig sa bawat hearing commissioner kaya hindi ito praktikal sa kanya dahil hindi naman mahahati ang katawan niya kung sabay-sabay ang hearings, ibig sabihin wala siyang tiwala sa kanyang mga kasamang abogado. Kung ganun, bakit ang sumulat sa sagot at counter-protest ni Robredo ay ang kanyang mga kasamang abogado at hindi si Macalintal mismo?" he said.

Chong emphasized that the hastening of the case is detrimental to the Robredo camp thus they want it delayed.

"ANG PAGMAMADALI SA PROTESTA AY ISANG MORTAL NA PANGANIB SA KAMPO NI ROBREDO. KAYA AYAN, TODO IMBENTO UPANG MAKAIWAS SA PINANGANGAMBAHANG PELIGRO," he said.

Former Department of Transportation and Communications Secretary Joseph Abaya admits he is not knowledgeable of the problematic company that the government contracted with in the maintenance of the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3, however suspicion arises that it may have awarded the contract because the company president is a close friend of former Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Mar Roxas.
Former Manila City Mayor Lito Atienza complained that Roxas and Abaya, along with other accomplices in the anomalous deal, have wasted billions of taxpayers’ money with their problematic MRT-3 deal.

 During the Senate public services committee hearing on the issue, committee head Senator Grace Poe questioned Abaya why they entered into a Php 54 million contract with PH Trams, a two-month old company with a paid-up capital of Php 625,000 in 2012.

 Poe underscored that it is a company that cannot even purchase a brand new Toyota Vios, how much more the maintenance of MRT-3, which led Atienza to lash out saying that the DOTC that time burdened the commuters.

The maintenance provider of the MRT-3 from 2000 to 2010 was Sumitomo, a well-established Japanese company, however, Abaya reported that Sumitomo backed away from the maintenance deal when the train units became obsolete and overloaded.
Sumitomo allegedly offered to work on the MRT-3 on the condition that the government increased their payment from$1.4 million to $2.2 million per month without bidding, however Abaya said it gave no guarantees of its service which compelled the DOTC to seek other providers.

Poe argued that when PH Trams took the stead of Sumitomo, the transit experienced frequent breakdowns.

“Unlike Sumitomo, which had years of experience, PH Trams was only incorporated two months before it was awarded the MRT-3 maintenance contract,” she said.

The questionable transaction led the Senate hearing to open up about the alleged ties between PH Trams chairperson Marlo de la Cruz and former DILG Mar Roxas.

Dela Cruz was requested to attend the hearing, however he did not show up.

With the anomalies in the MRT-3 deal, Atienza urged the politicians and officials responsible to be brought to court to settle the questionable contract.

Atienza further said that those guilty of purchasing the unusable coaches and other irregularities should be jailed.

“Dapat dalhin sa korte si Mar Roxas at lahat ng sangkot sa pagbili ng hindi magamit-gamit na mga bagon ng MRT at iyong guilty dapat makulong! Pahirap kayo sa mga commuters at bilyun-bilyong pera ng taumbayan ang sinayang niyo,” Atienza said.

BANGKOK–In a scene straight out of a television drama, a woman driving a brand-new Toyota Fortuner chased a Mercedes Benz carrying her husband and his mistress to confront them and ended up crashing into four vehicles in Pathum Thani’s Thanyaburi district, causing six slight injuries on Saturday.


The pile-up occurred at 4:30 p.m. on the Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road in Tambon Bung Yitow, causing a severe four-kilometer-long traffic jam before the scene was cleared.

The initial police probe found that the woman had traced her husband using GPS, caught up with his white Mercedes Benz at Sawai Pracharat Road and then decided to crash her vehicle into his to stop him from getting way.

Pinagkakaguluhan ngayon ng mga residente sa isang barangay sa General Mariano Alvarez, Cavite ang kakaibang paniki na nahuli ng isang matandang residente.

Ayon kay Marciano Pacia, 71, nakita niyang nakadapo sa isang nakasampay na tuwalya ang paniki. Dahil kakaiba, hinuli niya ito at inalagaan.

Ayon kay Pacia, tumaba na at lumaki ang puting paniki dahil ilang araw na rin nila itong inaalagaan.
Ginawan na ng hawla ang paniki at aratiles at saging ang ipinapakain ni Pacia dito.

Hindi karaniwan ang puting paniki sa Pilipinas, ngunit ang alaga ni Pacia ay hindi nag-iisang puting paniki sa mundo.

Kilala ang Honduran white bat na may mala-niyebe na balahibo at dilaw na nguso at mga tainga.

Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General chief Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa slammed Commission on Human Rights (CHR) probe in the death of alleged Abu Sayaff member Abu Saad.

Abu Saad supposedly tried to escape from the authorities and was shot in the forehead while running away from them.


Dela Rosa said that if the CHR wanted to probe if there’s a foul play in the death of Abu Saad, the commission must also probe the Abu Sayaff for beheading their victims.

“Sabihan mo yung CHR, huwag lang mag-limit dito sa side natin…Bakit pinuputulan ng ulo ng mga Abu Sayyaf yung biktima nila? Isama sa imbestigasyon nila,” he said.

The Abu Sayaff was known for kidnappings and beheading their victims if the ransom that their demanded was not given.

Dela Rosa also blasted CHR after they discovered hidden jail cell in a police station in Tondo, Manila.

He asked why the CHR conducted the surprise visits to stations only during the ASEAN summit.

Bato questioned the timing of the surprise visit and he said that CHR must visit every police stations everyday.
