Philippine National Police Chief Director-General Ronald dela Rosa answers questions during a press conference at Camp Crame, Wednesday. Three high-ranking PNP officials allegedly involved in illegal drugs tagged by President Duterte reported to Dela Rosa to clear their names. (MNS photo) MANILA, July 7 (Mabuhay) — Police Director General Ronald Dela Rosa firmly said Thursday he has no right to question the President Rodrigo Duterte’s naming of top police officials allegedly linked to illegal drug syndicates. In an interview on News To Go, Dela Rosa said when pressed for comments on Duterte’s dropping of names: “The President is the President. I cannot question his wisdom. Alam niya ang ginagawa niya.” He has sufficient information to back up his claims, he added. During the Philippine Air Force’s 69th anniversary on Tuesday, Duterte named Joel Pagdilao, Edgardo Tinio, Vicente Loot, Bernardo Diaz, and Marcelo Garbo Jr. as among police officials linked to drug rings. Earlier reports, however, said Malacañang had refused to disclose pieces of evidence of Duterte’s claims against former and active police officials, citing the constitutional right of suspects “to due process.” Asked if the PNP have documents linking the accused to illegal drugs trade, Dela Rosa again said that [the documents] are classified and disclosure to public is prohibited. “As I’ve said, kung mayroon [man] kaming hawak [na ebidensya] hindi namin sasabihin dahil wala pang nai-file na kaso. Classified ang mga dokumento na ‘yan,” he added. Under the supervision of the Department of Interior and Local Government, the National Read More …

Presidential Adviser on Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Panfilo M. Lacson answers questions from the media in an interview after he delivered his address at a forum in Makati City last January 23. The former senator had refused to accept his pork barrel funds from the start. He said in a privilege speech that the funds had corrupted legislators. Now, even the members of the media are being named as those who received “payolas.” (MNS photo) MANILA  (Mabuhay) – To make it easy for the law to investigate and prosecute erring government officials and employees, Senator Panfilo M. Lacson filed a measure seeking to exclude them from the Bank Secrecy Law or Republic Act 1405, ahead of the 17th Congress which opens on July 25. Senate Bill 47 removes from all public servants the protection under RA 1405, which prohibits the disclosure or inquiry into bank deposits, Lacson said Wednesday. “Uncovering ill-gotten wealth of government officials may soon get easier. Law enforcement authorities will be equipped with the tools needed to go after crooks in government,” Lacson said. “The avowed purpose of the law is meritorious in preserving the confidentiality of bank transactions,” the senator noted. “Unfortunately, this provision of the law prohibiting the disclosure of or inquiry into bank deposits had been exploited time and again to hamper and stall investigations of government officials and employees suspected of enriching themselves while in public office,” he emphasized. Lacson noted his bill will amend Section 2 of RA 1405, to exclude from the Read More …

Sharon Cuneta (MNS photo) Her upcoming comeback movie with Star Cinema is one of the many reasons Sharon Cuneta is determined to shed more pounds and regain her former figure. The “The Voice Kids” coach shared that she has already lost 50 pounds in six months. She intends to lose some more before she finally starts shooting her big-screen project. “In September, I will start shooting my movie na hindi ko pa ma-announce. Super [excited ako about it]. Magagalit si Tita Malou (Santos) kapag in-announce ko pero kapag in-announce po ito, sana po nakaupo kayo. Kapit lang po,” she said. Cuneta said she is inspired to work out knowing that the ABS-CBN executives still believe in what she can achieve at this point in her career. “Inspiration din ‘yung talagang naniniwala pa ang ABS-CBN at Star Cinema sa akin. Parang that adds to your inspiration tapos ‘yung fans mo hindi tumitigil talaga. ‘Yung messages na natatanggap ko from FB and from Twitter, tabon na tabon ng good vibes ‘yung hindi. Ang laki ng pasasalamat ko sa Panginoong Diyos. Talagang everything is possible with him,” she said. Cuneta shared she actually cried when she watched herself on “ASAP” in January. “Naiyak talaga ako. I knew na mataba ako matagal na. Parang sanay na ‘yung tao. There’s more to me than my weight. Lagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko ‘yun. But siyempre kung sa 38 years ko sa showbiz, mga 30 doon leading lady ako. So hindi ko ma-deny sa sarili ko Read More …
