The failure of Philippine authorities to satisfactorily look into killings by the alleged Davao Death Squad is part of the reason why ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan has requested the Court’s pre-trial chamber to reopen investigation into the Philippines.

DISMISSAL OF DR NATY’S CASE SHOWS NTF-ELCAC A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME AND GOVERNMENT RESOURCES
By Makabayan Senatorial Candidate Neri Colmenares

We welcome the junking of the trumped-up charges against Dr. Naty Castro, a community doctor and Lumad advocate who was unjustly arrested and detained under a faulty arrest warrant and paraded by the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) as a supposed terrorist and high ranking official of the Communist Party.

This is the latest in a string of similarly dismissed cases under the auspices of the NTF-ELCAC. For the nth time, the accusations spewed by Pres. Duterte and NTF-ELCAC Spokesperson Lorraine Badoy have been exposed to be lies.

In truth, Dr. Naty’s name does not even appear in the case. Her arrest and detention was purely a result of the Duterte regime’s intolerance of dissent. Dr. Naty’s support for the Lumad’s opposition to large scale mining and human rights abuses earned her the label “communist-terrorist.” Such red-tagging has not spared Vice Pres. Leni Robredo, who is herself being accused of conspiring with the communists due to her staunch opposition to Duterte and his failed policies.

The NTF-ELCAC is such a waste of time and government resources. Hindi lang nila ipinagkait sa mahihirap ang isang mabuting doktor, dumagdag pa sila sa pagbara ng ating sistema ng hustisya. Our courts are clogged, yet state agents hamper it with fabricated charges against people who have devoted their lives in serving the people.

The NTF-ELCAC’s red-tagging will never hold because their insinuations are utterly false. They can keep on trying but they will never succeed. Indeed, this Gestapo-inspired agency should be abolished. #

OPINION: The Robredo campaign phenomena

The events in the Robredo campaign in the past weeks have been extraordinary and have not been observed in previous election campaigns, that it can be rightfully called a phenomenon. However, it is not just a single phenomenon or happening but multiple and serial, which is why we have to use the plural “phenomena”.

The events we are referring are the public expressions of support from many sectors that cut across economic classes, demographics, geographic and sectoral groupings, the amount of volunteer work done by her supporters from these groups, the massive crowds that are showing up in her sorties, the dominance of her campaign in the main and social media in a matter of weeks, and the shift of support of many traditional politicians to her candidacy as election day gets closer.

These happenings are evidenced by the published/posted pledges of support in the main and social media by private/ex-government employee groups, health workers associations, retired/ex-military officials, accountants and economist federations, religious organizations, small and big business associations, teachers/employee groups, and various youth/student organizations. On top of these are individual endorsements of Robredo by celebrities in the entertainment, sports, and media industries.

These support and endorsements carried with them, contributions of talent, time, and resources, that most of the campaign materials were donated by these groups. Materials, including songs and jingles were done for free by the creative talents and aired/posted also for free. Billboards, tarpaulins, wall paintings, t-shirts, comics, and other printed materials were made and paid for by volunteer groups. The expenses for the campaign rallies were shouldered by the volunteer groups and not by Robredo’s headquarters. The campaign strategies and ideas were even provided for free by private volunteer think tanks and creative minds in the advertising and PR industry. And most of all, the volunteer groups are out there campaigning for Robredo. The crowds in Robredo’s rallies in different towns and cities, that range from 10,000 to 80,000 people, are crowds that have not been seen in the last four presidential elections.

The impetus of these extraordinary events are; Robredo is the better candidate, people want change, there is a blowback/backlash on the revisionism of history by Marcos, and there is an emerging anti-dynasty sentiment. Robredo, a lawyer who had served as public attorney, congresswoman, and vice president has the credentials and the experience in public service. She is also a charismatic/caring personality and a tireless campaigner. By the end of March, she will have covered more places and talked to more people than all of the other presidential candidates combined.

As of February, some poll surveys are already reflecting the Robredo phenomena while some are not. It is in the playbook/algorithm of Cambridge Analytica strategy that the poll surveys should always favor their clients. So, we have to reduce the preference percentage of their client by the 25%. The 5% due to the biased questions, 5% due to the distortion favoring geographic/economic classes in their random sample, 5% due to intimidation factor, 5% on interviewer corruption, and 5% on errors. The sample of the questions show that the sequence of the questions led to directed answers, and it was admitted that the actual questioning was subcontracted to another entity. The 100 personnel asking the 1,200 random individuals to answer are easily susceptible to influence.

This means that as of February, Robredo and BBM were even at 35% in this poll survey. In other surveys which had bigger population samples, like the social media and newspaper surveys, Robredo was already leading but were assailed as not representative, as it was not randomized samples, but if we combined all these sectoral surveys, which would total already millions of voters, it actually is a cross-section of all sectors and classes and are actually random. The Google Analysis showing the trend for Robredo is the validation of the Robredo surge starting mid-February.

In mid-April 2016, I opined that Duterte has a 70% probability of winning on the basis of trend and polls analytics. As Robredo’s campaign phenomena has made her trend a “sigmoid” curve since March, using the same analytics, she has now a 70% probability of winning with seven weeks to the election. So, many mayors, governors, and congressmen are shifting to Robredo, like Rufus Rodriguez, Escudero, Salceda, Oscar Moreno, and many others.

Totoong desperado na ang mga katunggali ni Leni Robredo dahil sa nakakagulat na pagbuhos ng suporta. Kaya pati red-tagging pinatulan na para sirain ang momentum pero hindi matitinag ang mga tagasuporta sa matapat, mahusay at matinong pamamahala. Mga retiradong sundalo at pulis na ang nagpatunay na walang katuturan ang red-tagging at may kakayahan si Leni na pamunuan ang bansa!

Marami na tayong pruweba sa kasipagan ni Leni Robredo sa pagtatrabaho. Sa kabila ng maliit na budget ng kanyang opisina ay madami pa rin siyang nagagawa para sa bansa. Kahit higit 18 hours a day pa ang trabaho, basta matutukan ang serbisyong para sa tao ay walang problema sa kanya. Ang importante ay sagana sa resulta at labis-labis ang nakikinabang sa kanyang paglilingkod. Ganyan ang lider!

January 28, 2022: Photo World Asia 2022 Day 1 Group Photo of delegates with Niccolo Cosme (PWA 2022 Speaker), Cynthia “Cha” Pagdilao (PWA 2022 Chairperson), Joe Galian (Host and FPPF Instructor), and guests.

It was a successful opening day! Ms. Cynthia “Cha” Pagdilao delivered her heartfelt speech online via Zoom. It was a challenging feat since we’re still not allowed to have in-person gatherings or big events in the Philippines due to the surge of new Covid-19 cases all over the world. This did not stop the event from pushing through. As always, there is a bigger purpose that motivates the people behind PWA — to inspire the photography community and to keep the passion alive!

True enough, even during the first day, the 35th PWA International Photographer’s Conference was filled with so much content. Below were the line up of speakers for Day 1:
* 1st Speaker: Cecile Manikan - “Uplifting the Spirit in Trying Times (Lockdown Spirituality)”
* 2nd Speaker: Lisa Langell - “How to Photograph Nature in High Key Style”
* 3rd Speaker: Dawn Wilson - “Put some WOW! Into your Wild Photos”
* 4th Speaker: Niccolo Cosme - “Wearing a New Crown”
* 5th Speaker: Maricris Fabi Carlos - “Portrait in Canvas”
