HINDI nalalayo sa mga pusang naiihi ang kampo ni Imee Marcos matapos kumalat sa social media ang balitang tumabo sa takilya ng P198 milyon ang pelikulang “Katips.” Hindi nila alam kung paano nila kokontrahin ang magandang balita. Wala silang datos na kapani-paniwala upang pasinungalingan ang balita. Hindi kasi kumita ang “Maid in Malacanang.” Walang maniwala na kikita ito dahil ipinamimigay ng libre ang mga tiket para may manood lamang ng pelikulang itinuturing na basura ng maraming netizen.
Iisa ang estratehiya ng kampo ni Imee: magkalat ng alinlangan sa media. Kwestiyunin ang datos sa takilya ng Katip at palabasin na kaduda-duda ito. Hindi bago ang ganitong galawan. Kung hindi makuha sa katwiran at datos, ibahin ang usapan. Hindi naman kinakagat ng publiko ang kasinungalingan ng kampo ni Imee. Alam ng sambayanan na hindi mapagkakatiwalaan ang mga Marcos. Kasinungalingan at kakapalan ng mukha ang kanilang sandigan sa poder.
Hindi alam na mga Marcos na Kalaban nila ang panggitnang uri, o middle class. Ito ang mga mamamayan ng marangal at may paninindigan. Sila ang mga kabuhayan at kaya nilang bumili ng tiket ng Katip at panoorin. Hindi manghihinayang ang panggitnang uri upang panoorin ang pelikulang may katuturan at kahulugan. Hindi naiintindihan ito ng mga Marcos sapagkat dalawang uri ang mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila: ang mga sobrang mayaman at mapagsamantala; at ang mga mga nasa ibaba na hindi maintindihan kung bakit mahirap sila.

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.
FIRST INFORMATION. The information submitted to the ICC Office of the Prosecutor has claimed that Rodrigo Duterte, as mayor of Davao City, and, later, as president of the Philippines, was engaged in the mass murder of people suspected to have been involved in the use and trade of prohibited drugs. Amplifying its allegations of mass murder, the information said:
“All in all, the ‘repeated, unchanging and continuous’ mass murder being conducted by the President Duterte has already resulted into the deaths of not less than 1,400 individuals in Davao City under his Davao Death Squad and not less than 7,000 individuals in his war on drugs at the national level. In the ultimate analysis, this communication will present a situation for the determination and finding by the International Criminal Court of individual criminal liability or responsibility on the part of Mayor and President Duterte over the continuing commission of mass murder ever since he was the Mayor of Davao City up to the time that he became the President of the Philippines in his war on drugs at the national level.”
The information claimed that, for the interest of international criminal justice, the ICC, through its Office of the Prosecutor, should proceed to conduct a preliminary investigation on the reported mass murder on the basis of the facts laid down by this information and details given by international human rights groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. It raised the possibility to bring the issue to the next step after preliminary investigation, which is formal investigation by the ICC. The first information said:
“This communication will further demonstrate why there is sufficient factual and legal basis for the Office of the Prosecutor to take the following course of action, namely; (1) to CONFIRM with the Pre-Trial Chamber the proper criminal charges for crimes against humanity against President Duterte and his senior administration officials; (2) to APPLY with the Pre-Trial Chamber for the issuance of a Warrant of Arrest against President Duterte and his concerned senior administration officials for his arrest, surrender and detention pending trial at the Detention Facility at the Hague of the International Criminal Court, in order to prevent them from continuing with the commission of mass murder and to prevent them from killing potential victims and witnesses, and (3) to PURSUE with the Pre-Trial Chamber the commitment of President Duterte and his concerned senior administration officials to the Trial Chamber for appropriate trial, and for a conviction and sentence to a prison term or life imprisonment.”
Dwelling on mass murder in the form of extrajudicial killings (EJKs), the information said than 7,000 incidents of drug-related killings took place from July 1, 2016 to January 21, 2017 allegedly perpetrated by police officers and unidentified groups under the direction of President Rodrigo Duterte. According to the information, the mass murder was a continuation on national scale of what had the DDS started when he was mayor of Davao City. It said:
“Based on the testimony of Matobato and Lascañas, it is now established by direct firsthand account that President Duterte is the mastermind and leader of the Davao Death Squad, when he was still the Mayor of Davao City. If it is the best indication, President Duterte happens to be that same leader and mastermind of the Davao Death Squad who is now the President of the Philippines waging, encouraging and promoting the so-called war on drugs at the national level.“
Duterte had followed the template, which he had developed and implemented, when he became mayor of Davao City in 1988. Hence, Duterte had implemented the same Davao City template on the national level. The information continued:
“In a public speech, President Duterte boasted as Mayor that his ‘best practice’ in eradicating or controlling crime in Davao is to kill suspected criminals, asserting it to be his secret in making his claim that Davao City the ninth safest city in the world. Based on his public pronouncements when he was still vying for President, Mayor Duterte manifested a clear intention to CONTINUE with his ‘best practice,’ strategy or system in Davao City when he made the eradication of the drug menace as a centerpiece of his campaign platform for the presidency. In fact, his campaign promise underlined by his serious threats in public TO KILL drug addicts and pushers made him so popular that he won by 16 million votes, all the more compelling and pressuring him to continue his ‘best practice,’ strategy or system in the Davao Death Squad in order to fulfill his campaign promise.
“It is, thus, humbly submitted that when Mayor Duterte was elected and assumed office as President of the Philippines, he intended to continue and in fact did continue, by way of a model or template, the ‘best practice’ strategy or system implemented by him in Davao City through the Davao Death Squad when he was still the Mayor and, in furtherance of such intent to continue, he expanded its coverage, as President, to the national level in order to implement his campaign promise to eradicate the drug problem in six months.”
The information contained details about what it described “basic material hallmarks or elements in the extrajudicial executions” by DDS groups in Davao City and the extrajudicial executions after Duterte has assumed the presidency. They include: the element of police participation and command; the element of a hitman or an unknown armed assailant; the presence of a reward system for every killing; and the provision of reward in cash. Other details: the adherence to a kill watch list; the collaboration between barangay and police officials; the presence of the cardboard sign and the face/body wrapped in packing tape (or duct tape); the use of “riding in tandem” motorcycle-riding assailants; the use of hooded or masked assailants; and the planting of guns and drugs. The information said:
“The public pronouncements of President Duterte after the President express a loud and clear intention to promote, encourage, or incite the police and civilians to mass murder or violence, thereby betraying the self-same mental state indicating an awareness, knowledge or intent to further continue at the national level, in an unrelenting fashion and with the same impunity, what he considers to be the ‘best practice,’ strategy or system of killing suspected criminals through the Davao Death Squad when he was still the Mayor of Davao City.”
