One-Minute Hirit 10: Paalala: May Jurisdiction ang ICC sa Anumang Posibleng Kaso ng Crimes Against Humanity sa Pilipinas Hanggang March 16, 2019



Mula sa description box ng video:

1. Ayon sa Article 127(2) ng Rome Statute ng International Criminal Court (https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default...

Its withdrawal shall not affect any cooperation with the Court in connection with criminal investigations and proceedings in relation to which the withdrawing State had a duty to cooperate and which were commenced prior to the date on which the withdrawal became effective. Pagsalin sa Filipino: “Ang pag-atras ay di makakaapekto sa pakikipag-kooperasyon sa Korte kaugnay ng mga imbestigasyon sa krimen at mga paglilitis ukol sa kung saan ang umaatras na Estado ay may tungkulin nang makipag-kooperasyon at ang mga ito ay nagsimula bago pa man ang petsa noong naging epektibo na ang pag-atras.” (Welcome po ang sinumang makakapagbigay ng mas angkop na pagsalin. Paki-komento na lang po sa baba at bibigyan ko kayo ng acknowledgement sakaling i-edit ko ito nang ayon sa kontribusyon ninyo. Salamat.) 2. Mula sa page 87 ng Supreme Court Decision G.R. Nos. 238875, 239483, and 240954, July 2021 (
https://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/20238/): Withdrawing from the Rome Statute does not discharge a state party from the obligations it has incurred as a member, Article 127(2) provides: “A State shall not be discharged, by reason of its withdrawal, from the obligations arising from this Statute while it was a Party to the Statute, including any financial obligations which may have accrued. Its withdrawal shall not affect any cooperation with the Court in connection with criminal investigations and proceedings in relation to which the withdrawing State had a duty to cooperate and which were commenced prior to the date on which the withdrawal became effective, nor shall it prejudice in any way the continued consideration of any matter which was already under consideration by the Court prior to the date on which the withdrawal became effective. A state party withdrawing from the Rome Statute must still comply with this provision. Even if it has deposited the instrument of withdrawal, it shall not be discharged from any criminal proceedings. Whatever process was already initiated before the International Criminal Court• obliges the state party to cooperate.

One-Minute Hirit 9: Isang Pagpupugay sa Ating Kapulisan sa Agarang Aksyon sa Mga Kaso nina Percy Lapid at Yvonne Chua Plaza

 


Nagluluksa man hanggang ngayon ang mga kamag-anak, kaibigan, at tagahanga ng mga pinaslang na sina Percy Lapid at Yvonne Chua Plaza, ay huwag naman nating kalimutan na bigyang-pansin at pagpupugay ang agarang aksyon ng Philippine National Police sa paghahanap ng hustisya para sa kanila. Sa kaso ni Percy Lapid, noong Oktubre ng nakaraang taon ay pinangalanan na bilang person of interest ang ngayo’y main suspect na si former BuCor Chief Gerald Bantag. Sa kaso naman ni Yvonne Chua, pinangalanan ng Police Regional Office-Davao si Brig. Gen. Jesus Durante III bilang suspect. Ang dalawang kasong ito ay patunay na kayang gampanan ng PNP ang kanilang tungkulin na resolbahin ang anumang krimen sa madaling panahon, maging ang main suspects man – guilty or not guilty -- ay mga tanyag na men in uniform din.

One-Minute Hirit 8: Ang Solusyon Ni Toni G sa Pamboboykot Laban sa Kanya (No Bashing; Analysis Lang)


Naging maugong ang panawagan – lalo na mula sa mga Kakampink - - na kanselin o boykotin si Toni G. dahil di nila nagustuhan ang political choice at career move niya noong nakaraang eleksyon. Political choice niya, BBM for president. Showbiz career move, yung maging major, major entertainer sa campaign rallies ni BBM. Kaya yung mga dating fans niya raw, na mula sa burgesya na mga Kakampink, eh di inabandona’t tinatabla na siya. Pero may alas si Toni G: at ito ang pagiging makalimutin ng mga Pinoy. Hintay lang at lilipas din ito. Eh di ba alam din ni BBM iyan? Eh yung mga human rights violation noong martial law, yung pandarambong ng pamilya niya, yung crony capitalism, etcetera ay nabaon na nga sa limot, eh itong isyu pa kaya kay Toni G?
