Wakasan na! : Activist groups hold protest ahead of Duterte s final SONA

endIndex: Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, July 26) Thousands of protesters united with a common outcry on Monday, hours ahead of President Rodrigo Duterte s final State of the Nation Address: Once is enough. Various groups grabbed the opportunity to denounce what they said were failures of the Duterte administration. The threat of the pandemic did not stop demonstrators from demanding accountability from the government. Kadamay, Piston, Sanlakas, and the National Union of People’s Lawyers said Duterte has no right to demand an extension of his stay in office, not even as vice president. The chief executive, who is set to end his term in June, announced his openness to run for the second highest post in the government to shield him from legal challenges.

Chorus of jeers awaits Duterte s SONA — NUPL – Manila Bulletin

Published July 26, 2021, 12:33 PM NUPL President Duterte’s last State of the Nation Address (SONA) today, July 26, will not be met with public approval, the National Union of Peoples’ Lawyers (NUPL) said. “Contrary to all the President’s expectations, his speech shall not be met by cheers and calls for his brand of leadership to continue, but by a chorus of jeers from a people who are starving for genuine change,” the NUPL said in a statement. It also said: “Contrary to his expectations, the President shall be addressing a people not ready to move on and find closure in the twilight of his administration. Instead, he faces a people resolved to seek vindication – in the courts, in the ballot, in the streets, and even across the seas and in the horizons.”

Philippines top court rules ICC has jurisdiction | Borneo Bulletin Online

July 22, 2021 MANILA (AFP) – The Philippines’ top judges have ruled the International Criminal Court (ICC) can prosecute “government actors” for alleged crimes committed before the country withdrew from the tribunal – contradicting President Rodrigo Duterte’s assertion it has no jurisdiction. The Supreme Court ruling – made in March but released in full to the public yesterday – comes as prosecutors at the world’s only permanent war crimes court seek a full-blown investigation into Duterte’s drug war that activists estimate has killed tens of thousands of people. Duterte was elected in 2016 on a campaign promise to get rid of the country’s drug problem, and he openly ordered police to kill suspects if their lives were in danger.
