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...

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. Tax evasio...

Giyera Kapag may nangisda sa Philippine Rise – Digong

Nagbanta si Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na magkakagiyera kapag may nangahas na mangisda sa Philippine Rise. Sa kanyang talum­pati sa turn-over ng mga pabahay sa Brgy. Mipaga, Marawi City, sinabi ng Pangulo na tiyak na sisiklab ang giyera kapag may nagsagawa ng pana­naliksik o ano mang uri ng aktibidad sa Philippine Rise na walang pahintulot mula sa gobyerno. Iginiit ni Pangulong Duterte na pag-aari ng Pilipinas ang Philippine Rise kaya’t walang sinoman na maaaring ma­ngisda sa lugar. Nagpadala na aniya ang pamahalaan ng isang batalyon ng Philippine Marines sa lugar para bantayan ang teritoryo. “Dito sa eastern side Philippine Rise, ‘yan atin talaga ‘yan. May pinadala na ako doon na Marines, isang batalyon. Sinabi ko talaga, walang mag-e-experiment hangga’t walang permiso galing sa akin but the Armed For­ces will have to recommend it. Otherwise, no, I will not allow fishing, I will not – magkagiyera tayo,” anang Pangulo. Filipino scientists were only on board the Chinese re...
