NAGULANTANG ANG PUBLIKO sa pag-amin ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na gumagamit ito ng ipinagbabawal na marijuana. Sa isang pagtitipon kamakailan ng Asean-National Organizing Council sa Palasyo, nabanggit ni Duterte ang hirap na dinanas nito sa nakaraang 33rd Asean Summit sa Singapore. At doon isinalaysay nito ang naranasang schedule ng iba’t-ibang mga pagpupulong. “You know we start at 8:30 in the morning and we end up almost 10, 11? Nandiyan man ‘yan silang lahat. And it’s every 30 minutes, 8:30 tapos 9:30, 10:30, iba na naman. Baka akala nitong Asean Secretariat Boy Scout kami. Hindi kaya ‘yan. It’s whole (day affair), hindi kaya.” “Susmaryosep, walang tulog.

THE SANDIGANBAYAN has junked the motion of former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) governor Nur Misuari to junk his graft and malversation case in connection with the alleged anomalous purchase of educational materials. In a resolution dated November 29, the Sandiganbayan Third Division said there is nothing oppressive in the delay of the Ombudsman's investigation into the alleged anomaly.   The court said Ombudsman investigators only took 118 days to conduct its preliminary investigation against Misuari, contrary to his claim that the investigation took more than four years, constituting inordinate delay. "To the mind of the Court, the period of 118 days that it took the prosecution to resolve its preliminary investigation as regards the accused-movant is reasonable. It was not occasioned by any capricious, vexatious, or oppressive delays," it said.   The Sandiganbayan added that Misuari cannot argue that his rights have been violated due to his admission that...
