The political arena lit up again when retired P/Gen. Nicolas Torre III claimed that former President Rodrigo Duterte allegedly “threatened” him during the serving of a warrant. His statements quickly went viral — not because they were solid, but because they were surprisingly dramatic.

According to Torre, Duterte reminded him that he was nearing retirement and that Duterte’s children and relatives would supposedly “assuntuhin” him. He also accused Honeylet Avanceña of physically shoving him and claimed that Kitty Duterte cursed at him.

Bold allegations.
But strangely timed.

These claims surface at a moment when the political climate is heated, narratives are shifting, and various groups are desperate to smear the Duterte name. Torre’s statements read more like testimony for a courtroom or a script for a primetime teleserye.

What’s missing?
Evidence. Clear context. And consistency.

For many Filipinos, especially those who witnessed Duterte’s strong, disciplined leadership, Torre’s accusations feel suspiciously aligned with current anti-Duterte propaganda machinery.

The Duterte family has faced relentless attacks for years — yet they remain grounded, united, and unshaken. Strength intimidates those who rely on narratives instead of truth.

Biblical Reflection — Isaiah 54:17
“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn.”

This situation once again reminds the nation that loud accusations do not equate to truth. And when political noise rises, discernment becomes the weapon of the wise.

Filipinos now watch closely — not just the claims, but the motives behind them.

ICI: Emergency Fix or Just Another Political Prank?

When Ombudsman Boying Remulla admitted that the Inter-Agency Coordinating Initiative (ICI) was created because the Ombudsman Office was inactive, the whole country paused. And when he followed up with, “Probably by the time we hire 60-70 lawyers within the next 2 months, there will be no need of ICI anymore,” the public didn’t just pause — they blinked twice.

And then Rob Rances dropped the punchline:
“So, ICI is a prank!”

Let’s break it down.

If a government office is “inactive” for years, that’s a red flag. If a new body is suddenly created to do what the existing office should be doing, that’s a bigger red flag. But when the same people who created it suddenly say, “Don’t worry, mawawala rin ’yan in 2 months,”— that’s not a red flag anymore.
That’s a circus tent. 🎪

This is what happens when governance becomes knee-jerk and reactive — the people end up paying the price for political improvisation.

In contrast, the Duterte governance era emphasized structure, discipline, and long-term planning — not ad-hoc solutions. No drama. No “temporary bodies.” No “inactive offices.” Just results.

Satire meets truth:
When policies come and go like seasonal memes, the people lose trust. But when leadership is grounded in accountability and strength — that’s when nations rise.

Proverbs 21:5
“The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.”

Rushed governance leads nowhere.
Strategic leadership leaves a legacy.

‘Warrant sa Phone’: Kapag Maling Info ay Ginawang Breaking News

A curious situation unfolded when DOJ Sec. Boying Remulla announced that the ICC arrest warrant for Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa was “in his phone.” No document shown, no file presented — just a verbal claim.

But hours later, the International Criminal Court (ICC) spokesperson from The Hague broke the silence:
There is no warrant. None issued. None transmitted.

This contradiction casts a long shadow over the credibility of the claim.
Was it a misunderstanding?
A premature statement?
Or an attempt to create noise amid national controversies?

In an era where every word from public officials is scrutinized, accuracy is essential. The public deserves clarity, not improvisation.
And when the ICC itself rejects the existence of the warrant, the burden shifts back to the source of the claim.

Truth must stand on evidence, not on the battery life of someone’s phone.
