Long Before the Noise: Rowena Guanzon Already Stood Her Ground on Rodrigo Duterte

December 11, 20253 min read

Before the demolition operators…
Before the ICC narratives…
Before the political vultures circled Duterte and his allies…
there was Rowena Amelia Guanzon
already speaking, already fighting, and already standing for truth even before Duterte became President.

Rowena Guanzon Already Stood Her Ground on Rodrigo Duterte

Back when Rodrigo Duterte was still running for office,
and the entire establishment feared his rise,
Guanzon delivered a bombshell:
the case questioning his candidacy landed in her lap.

Other commissioners wanted her inhibited.
Powerful people whispered behind closed doors.
Even Duterte’s own lawyer — Secretary Aguirre — tried to push her out.

But Guanzon?
She was unfazed.
She was fire.

She said:

“Why should I inhibit?
Why—who’s scared of you?”

That single line captured who she really is:
a truth-warrior who refuses to kneel before intimidation.

And then came the line that shook the room:

“You think you attack one commissioner…
you think we will not circle the wagons?
Are you stupid?”

Only Guanzon and Duterte can talk like that —
raw, unfiltered, fearless, and allergic to corruption.

But here’s what people forget:
After all the hearings…
after the noise…
after pressure from all directions…


Guanzon herself decided that Duterte SHOULD NOT be disqualified.
She wrote it.
She signed it.
She stood by it.

She even told Duterte in person:

“Mr. President, I am Commissioner Rowena Guanzon.”

And Duterte respected her —
because he respects courage more than loyalty.


Now, She Is Fighting Again — But the Truth Is the Same

People are shocked that Guanzon today defends Duterte.
But the truth is simple:
She has always fought for truth, even if it burns.
And Duterte has always fought the same way.

Two lions.
Two blunt weapons.
Two people unafraid to say “STUPID” in public if the truth demands it.

Their styles match.
Their courage matches.
Their enemies match.
And the truth they stand on has not changed.

Long before the attacks…
Long before the smear campaigns…
Long before the coordination of anti-Duterte forces…

Rowena Guanzon was already standing her ground.

And today, history is circling back —
with the same truth warriors refusing to bow down.

Warrant sa Nang-akusa; Ang Duterte, Relax at Nagtatrabaho — Sino Ba Talaga ang Guilty?

Warrant sa Nang-akusa; Ang Duterte, Relax at Nagtatrabaho — Sino Ba Talaga ang Guilty?

Sa Pilipinas, may isang pattern na hindi nabibigo:
Kapag ang Duterte ang inaakusahan, malakas ang loob. Pero kapag ang kalaban ang nagsimula ng intriga… sila ang nauuna sa warrant.

Red background with bold white text mocking the irony that Zaldy Co, who accused VP Sara Duterte of stealing confidential funds, is now the one with a warrant of arrest, while VP Sara is calm and casually joining a fun run.

Ito ang nangyari ngayon kay Zaldy Co — ang taong nanguna sa pagbitbit ng akusasyon laban kay VP Sara Duterte, isang Duterte na kilala sa tapang, prinsipyo, at hindi nagpapatalo sa kasinungalingan.

Ngayon?
Siya mismo ang may warrant of arrest.

Samantala, si VP Sara — ang target ng intriga, fake news, at demolition jobs — hindi nagtatago, hindi nagdadramang biktima, at lalong hindi natitinag.
Ang ginagawa niya?
FUN RUN.
Oo, fun run.
Habang ‘yung nag-akusa, hinahanap ng batas.

This is the Duterte difference:
Kapag malinis ka, you live normally.
Kapag naninira ka, you run from the consequences.

At sa gitna ng political theatrics, may isang hindi nagbabago:

“For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed.” – Luke 8:17

Kaya hindi nakakapagtaka kung bakit tuwing may nag-a-attempt mag-fabricate ng kaso laban sa Duterte, ending lagi:
bumabalik sa kanila ang bala.

Sa dulo, hindi lamang batas ang gumagalaw.
Diyos mismo ang naglalantad ng totoo.
