NEWS UPDATE: Pres. Duterte accept Bautista Resignation!

"I was surprised. I think it was the other day, he filed his resignation. I think I signed it because it would be better if he leaves," Duterte said in an interview with broadcaster Erwin Tulfo aired on state-owned PTV4 on Friday night.
"I don't know if you can still impeach him or not because by resigning, he has removed himself," he added.
Facing allegations of amassing P1 billion in unexplained wealth, Bautista previously announced that he will resign by December to give time for President Duterte to choose his successor. 
However, the response of the Office of the President to his letter says his resignation is effective immediately. This means his resignation will be effective when his office closes today.
The Comelec chief was impeached by lawmakers in the House of Representatives earlier this month, overturning the justice committee's dismissal of the complaint against him. 
President Rodrigo Duterte has accepted the resignation of poll chief Andres Bautista effective immediately, contrary to the poll chief's earlier announcement that he will only step down from his post by the end of the year. 
In a press conference, Bautista said Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea sent a letter accepting his resignation effectively immediately. He said he only got the letter today.
"This was not an easy decision. But my family, especially my children, need me now more than ever... I am thankful for the love, prayers, and support you have shown me most especially during my most challenging times," he added.

"Upon the instruction of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, I wish to inform you that your resignation is hereby accepted effective immediately," said the letter signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea.

Kris Aquino To Critics "Utang Na Loob Niyo Sa Tatay Ko Ang Kalayaan Niyo"

“And the truth is you do owe this man the fact that you have FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION & FREEDOM OF THE PRESS TODAY.” Ito ang mga sinabi ni Kris Aquino laban sa mga kritiko ng kanyang pamilya. Ayon pa kay Kris, "may bayag" o matapang daw ang tatay niya dahil handa raw itong mamatay para sa bayan. Kung tinatamasa ng mga Filipino ang kalayaan ngayon, ito ay dahil sa ginawang sakri­pisyo ni dating Senador Benigno ‘Ninoy’ Aquino Jr., ayon sa kanyang bunsong anak na si Kris Aquino. Sa Instagram post ni Kris, binanggit nito na ang kanyang ama ay ‘may bayag’ noong isakripisyo ang kanyang buhay para sa kalayaan ng bansa mula sa diktaduryang Marcos. Tinutukoy ng television host at aktres ang pag-uwi ni Ninoy sa bansa noong Agosto 21, 1983 sa kabila ng babala na may mangyayaring masama sa kanya. Binaril si Ninoy sa tarmac ng Manila International Airport (ngayon ay Ninoy Aquino International Airport). Ang kanyang pagkamatay ang naging mitsa ng pagsiklab...

Manila Philippines: Nakahanda umanong magbitiw sa kaniyang puwesto si Department of Fo­reign Affairs (DFA) Secretary Alan Peter Ca­yetano kapag napatunayang minamaniobra ng sindikato ang appointment slot sa passport. Ipinahayag ito ni Ca­yetano kahapon sa paglulunsad ng 10-year validity ng passport na ginanap sa Office of Consular Affairs ng DFA sa Parañaque City. Sa isang panayam, sinabi ng ni Cayetano na handa siyang masibak sa puwesto kung totoo ang akusasyong may korapsyon sa DFA. Inamin din nito na hindi pa perpekto ang sistema ng passport processing pero mas naging maayos na aniya ito ng maupo sya sa kasalukuyan. “Handa rin po ako sa imbestigasyon kung ito ay mayroon nangyaya­ring korapsyon sa ahensiyang ito at patutuna­yan ko na walang ganyan dito,” ani Cayetano. Hinamon pa ng Kalihim ang kanyang mga kritiko na maglabas ng ebidensiya o ‘lead’ na may sindikato sa loob ng DFA kasabay ng mariing pagtanggi na walang ginagawa ang kagawaran hinggil sa kumakalat sa socia...

BIR Slaps Renato Reyes (Bayan) with ₱1.05M Tax Evasion Charges

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) on Friday filed a ₱1.05 million tax evasion case against Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) Secretary General Renato Reyes Jr., for failing to pay his personal income taxes since 2009. BIR legal counsel Atty. Brigido Loyola said Reyes’ failed to file income tax returns especially last year where he made more than ₱5.7 million from three major rallies, including the 2016 Asean Summit where he reportedly earned ₱2.5 million according to court records. Reyes, a career activist, has denied many times earlier that he is not earning a dime from organizing protests and all of his works are in voluntary basis. But Loyola said Reyes family expenses are more than his wife’s salary – who is physician working in a public hospital. From 2009 to 2014, Reyes reportedly filed tax exemptions despite already making decent amount from different protests. “We cannot exempt an individual who is earming at least ₱1.5 million a year,” Loyola said.
