MAIHAHAMBING sa sementeryo ang paggunita sa kamatayan ng martir na si Ninoy Aquino noong Linggo. Bagaman deklaradong isang holiday ang Agosto 21 sang-ayon sa batas, kamangha-mangha ang katahimikan ng Malacañang. Wala kahit isang pahayag. Walang atas sa mga mamamayan. Hindi nakakapagtaka sapagkat si diktador Ferdinand Marcos Sr. Ang pinaghihinalaan salarin sa pagpatay kay Ninoy.
Imbes na paggunita, black propaganda ang bumulaga sa mga mamamayan sa social media. Lumabas ang mga walang saysay na bintang na komunista si Ninoy Aquino sa mga video ng PNP. Hindi namin alam kung ano ang matwid kung baglabas sila ng black propaganda. Nang umalma ang maraming mamamayan sa black propaganda ng isang taong namayapa at wala sa posisyon na ipagtanggol ang sarili, inalis ng pamunuan ng PNP ang mga video.
Labis-labing ang pangamba ng mga nasa poder at nagsisipsip sa alaala na iniwan ni Ninoy Aquino. Hanggang ngayon, hindi nila maalis ang takot sa impluwensiya ng isang martir. Kaya katahimikan at black propaganda ang kanilang sagot. Hanggang ngayon, pinapatay pa rin si Ninoy Aquino. Nakakatawa.

ALAALA SA LUMIPAS. Hinding hindi namin malimutan ang hilatsa ng mukha ni Perfecto Yasay Jr. nang ipahayag niya sa TV ang panalo ng Filipinas sa hablang isinampa sa UNCLOS Permanent Arbitration Commission laban sa pangangamkam ng China sa halos kabuuan ng South China Sea, kasama ang buong West Philippine Sea.
Si Yasay noon ng DFA secretary. Ipinahayag sa TV ni Yasay ang panalo ng Filipinas. Marami ang tuwang-tuwa. Ika-12 ng Hulyo ito, 2016. Malaking selebrasyon ang ginawa ng maraming kababayan. Pero si Yasay, sobrang malungkot. Para siyang namatayan ng malapit na kamag-anak, asawa, o kasintahan. Hindi siya ngumingiti.
Sapagkat bago pa lamang ang administrasyong Duterte, hindi kami agad naghusga kahit may pakiwari kami na kampi sa China ang halos baliw na pangulo. Kinalaunan, nagkaroon na kami ng pagpapasya na tuta ng China si Yasay. Pero sa dakong huli, natanggal siya sa DFA sapagkat natuklasan na isa siyang American citizen.
Hindi pala sa Filipinas ang katapatan ni Yasay. Masahol pa sa mersenaryo ang taong ito. Kanina naaresto siya sa salang paglabag sa banking laws ng Filipinas. Inalis kinalaunan sa puwesto dahil wala na siyang silbi kay Rodrigo Duterte.

HALAW ang mga sumusunod sa aming aklat “KILL KILL KILL: EJKs in the Philippines; Crimes Against Humanity vs. Duterte Et. Al. at the ICC.” Nasa huling yugto na ako na pagsusulat.
“All these President’s men who are holding senior key positions in the Duterte government and who have the legal mandate to conduct investigations cannot and will not anymore be expected to conduct such kind of investigation. The reason is so simple to see. As alter egos and trusted men of President Duterte, they are not in a position to contradict the actuations and pronouncements of President Duterte. As a matter of fact, except for Atty. Medialdea and Atty. Gierran who have kept mum, all the rest have announced in public their full support for the President Duterte’s war on drugs and defended the extra-judicial or summary executions as part of legitimate police drug operations. As a result, there has been no investigation into the kind of situation that is being brought before the International Criminal Court through this communication.”
The conclusion:
“Undeniably, if there is to be any investigation undertaken or to be undertaken into the specific situation sought through this communication to be brought to the International Criminal Court or in connection with any matter relevant to such specific situation, there can be no meaningful and genuine investigation at all. This is simply because the Duterte government is unwilling or unable to do so on account of the fact that President Duterte is himself criminally involved and liable in the context of the Davao Death Squad ever since he was the Mayor of Davao City. If it is any indication, during the time that he was the Mayor of Davao City, President Duterte never even lifted a finger to investigate the thousand killings undertaken under the Davao Death Squad. This is precisely because on hindsight he is personally involved. The same is perfectly true this time that he is now the President of the Philippines who, as such, will not open, much less allow, a national investigation into his own personal criminal liability or responsibility for the mass murder.”
The information said that the only investigation conducted about the spate of EJKs pursued by the Duterte government was done by the joint probe of the two Senate committees, but they could not be relied upon to punish the guilty parties because they were primarily “in aid of legislation.” They were intended essentially to look into the insufficiency and unsustainability of public policy and never to run after the guilty parties. Hence, the ICC has to step in and perform its mandate against leaders who pursue crimes against humanity against their people. It said:
“In other words, in technical legal terms, the Senate exercised its legislative power over a subject matter in aid of legislation which is not the same as the situation being brought before the International Criminal Court through this communication, which is the criminal liability or responsibility of President Duterte over the continuing mass murder committed ever since by him through his Davao Death Squad in Davao City and later in his war on drugs at the national level after he became the President.”
The punchline:
“The first Senate inquiry conducted by the Committee on Justice and Human Rights joint with the Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs originally began with the aim only of looking into and investigating the spate of the extrajudicial executions in the war on drugs after 30 June 2016; or to be sure, it was not intended to investigate, look into or determine the criminal liability or responsibility of President Duterte. It was only later with the testimony of Edgar Matobato that the inquiry began to veer towards the Davao Death Squad and the personal involvement of President Duterte in the Davao Death Squad and its willful killings in Davao City when he was still the Mayor. In fact, to serve as factual basis for the presentation of Edgar Matobato, Senator Antonio Trillanes IV had to, as he did, belatedly file a Resolution, consistent with the Senate rules, to include in the inquiry the matter involving the Davao Death Squad. This was followed later by the testimony of Arthur Lascañas in the Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, who confirmed the earlier testimony of Edgar Matobato by confirming the existence of the Davao Death Squad, its willful killings in Davao City and the personal involvement of President Duterte as the Mayor then.”
