Ang pasya, na orihinal na nilagdaan noong Setyembre 28, ay ginawa matapos pag-aralan ang mga resulta ng serye ng pagsusuri mula sa isang independent panel of experts gayundin ang mga isinumiteng mosyon ng prosekusyon at depensa.</p><p>Ayon sa naging hatol ng expert panel, malinaw na nauunawaan ni Duterte ang mga paratang laban sa kanya, ang mga ebidensya, at maging ang layunin at posibleng kahihinatnan ng proseso. May kakayahan din umano itong subaybayan ang takbo ng paglilitis at magbigay ng maayos na direktiba sa kanyang mga abogado para sa gagawing pagdepensa.</p><p>Kasabay ng desisyong ito, ibinasura ng kamara ang ilang kahilingan ng kampo ng dating pangulo. Kabilang sa mga ibinasura ay ang hirit na karagdagang medical examination, ang mosyong gisahin ang binuong expert panel, at ang naunang hiling para sa isang oral hearing. Gayunpaman, kinonsidera ng ICC ang rekomendasyon na ibase sa kalagayan ng akusado at ng mga testigo ang itatakdang oras at haba ng bawat araw ng pagdinig.</p><p>Nakatakdang magsimula ang pormal na paglilitis kay Duterte sa Nobyembre 30. Unang personal na humarap sa internasyonal na korte ang dating lider noong kalagitnaan ng Setyembre.</p><p>Nahaharap ang dating pangulo sa tatlong bilang ng crimes against humanity, kung saan inaakusahan siya ng mga prosecutor na may direktang kinalaman sa hindi bababa sa 76 na pagpatay na nangyari mula 2013 hanggang 2018. Sumasaklaw ang panahong ito sa kanyang huling termino bilang alkalde ng Lungsod ng Davao at sa mga unang taon ng kanyang pamumuno sa Pilipinas mula 2016 hanggang 2022.</p><p>Si Duterte ang kauna-unahang dating pinuno ng isang estado sa Asya na haharap sa paglilitis sa ICC, ang tribunal na nag-iimbestiga at umuusig sa mga pinakamabibigat na krimen sa buong mundo.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Arraignment ni VP Sara sa grave threat case, muling ipinagpaliban ng QC court]]></title><description><![CDATA[Bagong schedule ng

Quezon City Regional Trial Court (RTC) nitong Biyernes ang pagbasa ng sakdal o arraignment kay Bise Presidente Sara Duterte kaugnay ng tatlong kaso ng grave threats, habang hinihintay ang resolusyon sa mga nakabinbing mosyon ng kanyang kampo sa mababa at mataas na kapulungan ng korte.</p><p>Ayon sa legal counsel ni Duterte na si Atty. Paul Lawrence Lim, naghain sila ng &#8220;motion for partial reconsideration&#8221; upang hilingin na muling suriin ng korte ang bahagi ng naunang utos nito na nagbasura sa kanilang hiling na mag-inhibit sa kaso si Presiding Judge Maria Angelica De Ramos.</p><p>&#8220;Dahil kailangan papag-aralan ito ng ating kagalang-galang na hukom at pati dahil sa pending petition for certiorari sa SC [Supreme Court], minabuti ng presiding judge na pag-aralan muna ang lahat ng bagay na ito... i-cancel muna ang hearing at i-reset to some other date,&#8221; pahayag ni Lim sa mga mamamahayag.</p><p>Tumanggi si Lim na isapubliko ang panibagong petsa ng pagbasa ng sakdal bilang paggalang sa proseso. &#8220;Now that other date hindi ko muna babanggitin. Pasensya na. I would rather manggaling sa court or prosecution kung gusto nila, but to respect the court ayaw ko muna ibigay ang date ngayon,&#8221; dagdag niya.</p><p>Matatandaang unang na-reset ang arraignment noong Setyembre 11 matapos akusahan ng kampo ni Duterte ang hukom ng pagkiling, kung saan iginiit nilang tinulungan umano ni De Ramos ang prosekusyon. Ibinasura ito ng korte noong Setyembre 14, kaya&#8217;t napilitan ang kampo ng bise presidente na umapela muli sa pamamagitan ng partial reconsideration.</p><p>Ang mga kasong kriminal ay nag-ugat sa pahayag ni Duterte noong Nobyembre 2024 patungkol sa umano&#8217;y planong pagpapapatay kina Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, at noo&#8217;y House Speaker Martin Romualdez sakaling may mangyaring masama sa kanya.</p><p>Bukod sa mosyon sa QC RTC, umaasa rin ang kampo ni Duterte sa agarang aksyon ng Korte Suprema kaugnay ng inihain nilang petition for certiorari na humihingi ng temporary restraining order (TRO) upang tuluyang ipatigil ang pagdinig sa RTC.</p><p>Iginigiit ng mga abogado na walang hurisdiksyon ang RTC dahil hindi maaaring sampahan ng kasong kriminal ang isang opisyal na tulad ni Duterte nang hindi muna dumadaan sa impeachment.</p><p>&#8220;Until siya either ma-impeach or ma-convict by impeachment or mag-resign or bumaba sa kanyang pwesto... yan ang limited procedural immunity na hindi lamang ang bise-presidente ang nag-e-enjoy, lahat ng impeachable officer,&#8221; paliwanag ni Lim.</p><p>Nilinaw din ng abogado na nakadepende na sa magiging aksyon ng Korte Suprema at ng RTC judge kung matutuloy ang mga susunod na hakbang sa kaso.</p><p>&#8220;Depende na &#8216;yan kung maglabas ng utos ng TRO o status quo ante order ang SC. Kailangan nilang galangin ng hukom natin sa RTC. Pag hindi man ito ilabas, nasa hukom na &#8216;yan, RTC judge na &#8216;yan kung itutuloy pa rin niya ang arraignment or ide-defer pa rin niya habang inaabangan ang action ng SC,&#8221; saad ni Lim.</p><p>Dumating si Duterte sa QC Hall of Justice lulan ng isang van dakong 8:28 ng umaga. Bago umalis makalipas ang halos kalahating oras, sandali siyang nakisalamuha at nagpaabot ng pasasalamat sa kanyang mga taga-suporta at mga abogado para sa &#8220;masigasig na paggawa sa kanilang trabaho.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sen.

kasabay ng kanyang pagkahalal sa mga bagong posisyon kabilang ang pagiging chairman ng Committee on Public Works at miyembro ng makapangyarihang Commission on Appointments o CA.</p><p>Nilinaw ni Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri na ang paglipat ay sariling desisyon ni Villar upang maging &#8220;mas produktibo,&#8221; at itinangging may kinalaman ito sa pagbuo ng sapat na bilang ng boto para sa isang posibleng impeachment trial.</p><p>&#8220;He wants to join the majority to be more productive. So we welcome [him]. No politics involved,&#8221; pahayag ni Zubiri. </p><p>Ayon sa Senate Majority Leader - si Villar mismo ang nakiusap na lumipat dahil marami itong panukalang nais ipasa at nagpaplano ring umikot sa iba&#8217;t ibang bahagi ng bansa para sa pagbuo ng consensus.</p><p>Sa pag-apruba ng Senado, ipinaubaya ni Zubiri kay Villar ang kanyang sariling pwesto sa CA. Samantala, mismong si Senate President Pro Tempore Tito Sotto ang nag-segunda sa mosyon na ibigay sa senador ang pamumuno ng komite sa public works, isang pwestong dati na nitong hinawakan.</p><p>Bago ang paglipat sa mayorya, pinamunuan ni Villar ang Committee on Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship, at ang Committee on Banks, Financial Institutions, and Currencies. Ang kanyang panibagong papel sa public works ay direktang akma sa kanyang naging karanasan bilang dating kalihim ng Department of Public Works and Highways o DPWH.</p><p>Nang tanungin kung may iba pang senador mula sa minorya na inaasahang lilipat, sinabi ni Zubiri na wala siyang tiyak na impormasyon ngunit bukas ang kanilang hanay. Iginiit niyang lahat ng miyembro ng minorya ay malugod nilang tatanggapin kung sakaling naisin din nilang sumapi sa mayorya.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remulla, binayaran na si Respicio sa drug test: ‘Eto na.

Highways (DPWH) Secretary Vince Dizon nitong Huwebes ang mga ulat na babalik siya bilang kalihim ng Department of Transportation (DOTr).</p><p>Ginawa ni Dizon ang paglilinaw matapos hingan ng reaksyon kaugnay ng kumakalat na balitang magkakaroon umano ng balasahan sa Gabinete kung saan muli siyang itatalaga sa pamumuno ng DOTr.</p><p>&#8220;Kayo naman puro kayo tsismis eh. Hindi totoo &#8216;yan,&#8221; pahayag ni Dizon sa isang panayam matapos magsagawa ng inspeksyon sa Maysan Road sa Lungsod ng Valenzuela kasama si Mayor Wes Gatchalian.</p><p>&#8220;Basta tayo, trabaho lang tayo. Kami ni mayor, kahit saan kami, trabaho lang kami&#8230; pero hindi totoo &#8216;yun. &#8216;Wag kayong maniwala,&#8221; dagdag pa ng kalihim.</p><p>Ang DOTr ang nagsilbing comeback ni Dizon sa gobyerno sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.</p><p>Pebrero 2025 nang mamuno siya sa Transportation department kapalit ni Jaime Bautista, na nagbitiw sa pwesto dahil sa mga isyung pangkalusugan. Makalipas ang halos pitong buwan, inilipat siya bilang pinuno ng DPWH matapos magbitiw si ex-Secretary Manuel Bonoan sa gitna ng flood control scandal. </p><p>Pinalitan naman si Dizon ni Giovanni Lopez bilang bagong hepe ng DOTr.</p><p>Pinabulaanan din ni Palace press officer Usec. Claire Castro ang mga isyu at sinabing walang natatanggap na impormasyon ang palasyo tungkol sa nasabing balasahan sa pamumuno.</p><p>Nitong Miyerkules, kinumpirma ni Executive Secretary Ralph Recto na pinalawig ang appointment nina Dizon at Lopez bilang mga acting secretary ng kani-kanilang mga ahensya at isusumite ng Pangulo ang kanilang mga pangalan sa Commission on Appointments.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[BPI, kinumpirma ang joint accounts nina VP Sara, FPRRD]]></title><description><![CDATA[May joint time deposit account sina Vice

mula sa Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) na mayroong P40.65-million joint time deposit account sina Vice President Sara Duterte at former President Rodrigo Duterte.</p><p>Inilahad ni BPI Central Manila Branches Division Head Marwin Galvez ngayong araw, October 7, sa impeachment trial proceedings na binuksan ang nasabing account sa ilalim ng pangalan ng mag-ama noong January 22, 2010 sa BPI Julia Vargas branch.</p><p>Noong binuksan ang account, isiniwalat ni Galvez na mayroon itong principal amount na P40.65 million at na-renew ito nang 12 beses kaya lumobo ang pera sa mahigit P41.7 million.</p><p>Huling beses umano na-renew ang time deposit certificate noong February 11, 2011.  </p><p>Ayon kay Galvez, &#8220;If a time deposit certificate matures and is no longer renewed, proceeds of the matured time deposit is credited to the settlement account.&#8221; </p><p>Dagdag nito, sa settlement account ng mag-ama sa BPI Julia Vargas branch pumasok ang mahigit P41 million na matured amount sa pamamagitan ng isang credit memo noong March 9, 2011.</p><p>Pinambili umano ito ng manager&#8217;s check noong araw din na &#8216;yon. </p><p>&#8220;You can say that it&#8217;s [manager&#8217;s check] as good as cash,&#8221; ani Galvez.</p><p>Matatandaang inakusahan ni dating Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV na may hindi idineklarang BPI Julia Vargas branch account sa SALN ang noo&#8217;y presidential candidate Rodrigo Duterte na naglalaman ng higit P200 million.</p><p>Una itong pinabulaanan ni Digong pero kalauna&#8217;y inamin na may account siya sa BPI Julia Vargas branch na naglalaman ng hindi aabot sa isang milyon.</p><p>Mga kinatawan ng iba&#8217;t ibang bangko ang tumestigo ngayong araw sa impeachment court sa kabila ng patuloy na pagdinig sa Article II ng Articles of Impeachment tungkol sa alegasyon ng pagtataglay ng unexplained wealth ni VP Sara.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cong.

Leandro Leviste sa pamamagitan ng isang kinatawan kaugnay ng inilabas na warrant of arrest laban sa kanya para sa paglabag sa Public Service Act, ayon sa National Bureau of Investigation o NBI.</p><p>Batay sa kautusan ng Makati City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 235 na inilabas noong Oktubre 5, 2026, itinakda ni Presiding Judge Ricardo Aglugub Moldez II ang piyansa sa halagang P72,000 para sa pansamantalang kalayaan ng mambabatas. Si Leviste ay sinampahan ng kaso dahil sa umano&#8217;y paglabag sa Section 25 ng Commonwealth Act No. 146, na inamyendahan ng Republic Act No. 11659, na nagpaparusa sa mga public utility na nabibigong tumupad sa kanilang mga obligasyon.</p><p>Kinumpirma ni NBI Director Melvin Matibag na nakatanggap sila ng abiso mula sa korte na nagpapatunay na nagbayad ng cash bail si Leviste gayundin ang mga co-accused nito.</p><p>&#8220;Nakatanggap kami ng order mula sa korte na nag-cash bail siya. May pinadalang representative including mga co-accused niya. So technically, nasa ilalim na siya ng hurisdiksyon ng RTC Court ng Makati,&#8221; pahayag ni Matibag, na sinabing maging siya ay nagtaka noong una kung paano nakapagpiyansa ang mambabatas gayong nasa labas ito ng bansa.</p><p>Nakatakda ang arraignment o pagbasa ng sakdal kay Leviste sa Oktubre 26. Gayunpaman, nagbabala ang NBI chief na hindi na maaaring gumamit ng kinatawan ang opisyal para rito at kailangan na nitong umuwi ng Pilipinas.</p><p>&#8220;He has to attend the arraignment on Oct. 26. Otherwise, he will be issued a bench warrant na hindi siya dumalo kasi personal na &#8216;yan,&#8221; babala ni Matibag.</p><p>Idinagdag pa ng direktor na kung mabibigo si Leviste na humarap sa korte sa nasabing petsa, magpapalabas muli ng bagong warrant of arrest laban sa kanya at maaari na siyang ituring bilang isang pugante (fugitive from justice).</p><p>Ang kinakaharap na kasong kriminal at inilabas na arrest warrant ay sumunod sa malaking isyung kinasangkutan ng kumpanya ni Leviste sa sektor ng enerhiya. Matatandaang pinatawan ng Department of Energy (DOE) ng P24-bilyong multa ang kanyang kumpanya matapos umano itong mabigong i-deliver ang napagkasunduang 12,000 megawatts ng suplay ng kuryente.

ng nasabing proklamasyon ng Impeachment Court ang orihinal na kautusan ng Presiding Officer noong Hulyo 6 na nagtatakda sa eksaktong 16 na boto bilang basehan. Sa ilalim ng Rule XXI ng Senate impeachment rules, idinekl</p><p>ara ng hukuman na ang bagong threshold na ito ang magsisilbing &#8220;controlling ruling&#8221; o pinal na panuntunan para sa nalalabing bahagi ng paglilitis, at iginiit na ang pinal na boto sa anumang artikulo ng impeachment ay hindi na maaaring ipa-reconsider.</p><p>Sa kabilang banda, iginiit ng mga petitioner, sa pangunguna nina Senator Robinhood Padilla at Senator Bong Go, na ang basehan ng bilang ay hindi dapat ibinababa o natitinag batay sa attendance, kundi nakapako sa itinakda ng Saligang Batas.</p><p>&#8220;This case is not about whether the Vice President should be convicted or acquitted,&#8221; saad ng petitioners sa isang pahayang na inilabas ng kanilang legal counsel na si Atty, Israelito Torreon. </p><p>&#8220;It is about the number the Constitution requires before any conviction can lawfully be rendered. The Constitution says two-thirds of all the Members of the Senate. With twenty-four Senators, that is sixteen,&#8221; dagdag pa ng petitioners,</p><p>Nauna nang ibinasura ng Korte Suprema ang tatlong petisyon laban sa kaparehong resolusyon noong Setyembre 30 dahil sa procedural grounds, tulad ng kawalan ng legal standing at pagiging pre-mature. Ngunit nilinaw nina Padilla at Go na magkaiba ang kalikasan ng kanilang petisyon dahil inihain ito ng mismong mga kasalukuyang senador-hukom, kung saan ang kanilang sariling boto at posisyon ay direktang apektado sakaling ibawas sila sa pangkalahatang bilang.</p><p>Pinangalanan naman bilang mga respondent ang Senado na tumatayong Impeachment Court, si Senate President Francis Escudero bilang Presiding Officer, at ang Kamara de Representantes. Kalakip sa petisyon ang hiling para sa Status Quo Ante Order at/o Temporary Restraining Order upang pansamantalang patigilin ang pagpapatupad ng bagong panuntunan habang dinidinig ang kaso.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosecution vs FPRRD: Hindi dapat limitahan ang ebidensya sa ICC case]]></title><description><![CDATA[Naghain ng mosyon ang kampo ni Duterte

(Bantay Media, Oktubre 6) </strong>- Pinabulaanan ni Bise Presidente Sara Duterte ang mga alegasyon ng korapsyon at panunuhol mula sa isang dating security aide sa pamamagitan ng paglalabas ng mga flight record, litrato, at opisyal na kalendaryo upang pasinungalingan ang mga paratang.</p><p>Sa isang press briefing, sinagot ni Duterte ang sinumpaang salaysay at mga pahayag ni Rodolfo Gracioso Jr. sa GMA News. </p><p>Inakusahan ni Gracioso, dating aide nina Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco at Rowena Velasco, na naghatid ang bise ng milyun-milyong pisong cash sa mga maleta, mamahaling sasakyan, at luxury items kay Duterte mula 2018 hanggang 2022.</p><p>Tinawag ni Duterte ang testimonya na gawa-gawa. </p><p>Kinumpirma niyang kilala niya ang mga Velasco, ngunit itinanggi niyang naging tauhan niya si Gracioso. Ayon kay Duterte, si Gracioso ay kabilang sa grupo ng mga lalaking inatasan ni Rowena Velasco upang magmanman sa kanyang asawa.</p><p>Upang pabulaanan ang mga paratang, ipinaliwanag ni Duterte na sakop siya ng mahigpit na protocol ng Presidential Security Group (PSG) mula 2016 hanggang 2022, na nagbabawal sa mga sibilyang drayber at hindi awtorisadong sasakyan na magmaneho para sa kanya. Nagpakita rin siya ng ebidensyang nasa Mindanao siya para sa kampanya noong Mahal na Araw ng 2019, at itinanggi ang byahe sa Cebu noong kasagsagan ng pandemya.</p><p>Nagbanta si Duterte na magsasampa ng P200 milyong kasong libelo laban sa GMA News dahil sa pag-ere ng hindi kumpirmadong detalye mula kay Gracioso, partikular ang pagtuturo sa umano&#8217;y bahay niya. Hinamon din niya ang National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) na sampahan ng kaso si Gracioso, matapos niyang sabihin na may ebidensyang nagpapatunay na kinausap ng NBI ang kampo ni Gracioso kalakip ang ipinangakong pabuya.</p><p>Nanindigan si Duterte na ang mga alegasyon ay atake sa pulitika at idiniin na susuportahan ng mga opisyal na dokumento ang kanyang depensa.</p><p>Mariing itinanggi ni Duterte ang pagtanggap ng mamahaling gamit, at kung gumagamit daw ito ng bag, ito raw ay para lamang may dalhin sa kanyang mga engagements.</p><p><em>&#8220;Wala akong tinanggap o pagmamay-ari na Hermes bag o Patek Phillip na relo. Meron kaming &#8216;no gifts policy&#8217;,&#8221; </em>ayon kay Duterte.</p><p>Dagdag pa niya, nasa lahi umano ng kanilang pamilya ang diabetes. &#8220;<em>Dahil dito umiiwas ako sa mga matamis na pagkain at bihira akong kumain ng chocolate,&#8221; </em>sabi ng bise, sabay sundot na hindi raw Royce chocolates ang paborito nito kung sakaling kakain man siya ng mga matatamis.</p><p>Pinasinungalingan din niya ang alegasyong pagsundo sa kanya ni Gracioso sa isang pribadong hangar gamit ang puting van, dahil tanging ang PSG lamang daw ang may otoridad sa kanyang biyahe at seguridad mula 2016 hanggang 2022.</p><p><em>&#8220;Mula pa lamang sa simula ng termino ng aking ama, ipinaunawa na sa aming pamilya na ang mandato ng PSG ay kailangan sundin at ang PSG ang nangangasiwa ng aming seguridad... Alinsunod sa kanilang protocol, ipinagbabawal ng PSG ang ibang driver o security personnel na hindi kabilang sa PSG ang sumakay sa loob o magmaneho ng sasakyang ginagamit ko,&#8221; </em>ayon sa Bise.</p><p>Tila naglabas din si VP Sara ng &#8220;resibo&#8221; ng kalendaryo at ebidensyang nasa Mindanao siya noong Mahal na Araw ng 2019, hindi sa Marinduque, gaya ng Nilinaw rin niyang ang luma nilang bahay sa Davao ay isang makitid na dating garahe, kaya walang &#8220;receiving area&#8221; tulad ng sinabi sa affidavit.</p><p><em>&#8220;Hindi totoo na pumunta ako sa Marinduque noong mahal na araw ng 2019... Panganim, may ebidensya ako na nasa Mindanao ako noong April 14 o Palm Sunday hanggang April 21 o Easter Sunday, 2019... Ang bahay namin noon ay masikip at makitid. Kaya&#8217;t wala itong receiving area.&#8221;</em></p><p>Sinabi rin niyang hindi galing sa isa pang testigo na si Ramil Madriaga ang ginamit na perang pambili sa kanyang Yamaha XSR900. Naglabas siya ng opisyal na resibo na nagpapatunay na sarili niyang pera ang pinambayad dito noong 2017.</p><p>Taliwas din sa alegasyong lumipad siya sa Cebu noong summer ng 2020, nagpakita si Duterte ng mga executive order na nagpapatunay na nanatili siya sa Davao upang pamunuan ang pagtugon ng lungsod sa COVID-19 lockdown.</p><p><em>&#8220;Hindi totoo na ako ay nasa Busay, Cebu noong bandang summer ng 2020 na panahon ng pandemic... Ako ay nasa Davao noong March 9, 2020 hanggang May 31, 2020 o buong summer. Ako ang nag-desisyon sa lahat ng gagawin sa syudad sa panahon na yun at binibigyan ko araw-araw ng update ang mga taga-Davao... Hindi ko kailanman iniwan ang mga taga-Davao sa taghirap,&#8221; </em>ayon kay Duterte, na naging alkalde rin ng Davao mula 2016 hanggang 2022.</p><p>Sa kapareho ring presscon, sinabi ni Duterte na hindi muna siya magko-komento sa lagay ng impeachment trial at sa alegasyon ni dating Senador Antonio Trillanes, dahil ipauubaya na nito sa isa pa niyang tagapagsalita na si Atty. Paolo Panelo ang isyu. <strong>- PAOLO BARCELON</strong></p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.bantaymedia.ph/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Bantay's Substack!
