The winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize, judge and former UN rights chief Navi Pillay, on Saturday called sanctions announced bythe US on the International Criminal Court (ICC) "unheard of, unacceptable"

Navi Pillayjudge
There is so much tension and anxiety over the continued existence of international courts, mainly the International Criminal Court in The Hague,
Most importantly, sanctions have been announced by one country against the judges, just for the judicial orders they issue. This is unheard of, unacceptable,

Duterte Faces Tough Legal Battle

If subject for cross-examination na maaaring ang mga sasabihin at itatanong sa kanya para basagin ang kanyang testimonyo kung may personal knowledge siya sa mga information na ito,
At the end of the day, ite-test po natin ang kanilang clashing claim or narrative basis sa mga lumalabas na ebidensya para maging objective po tayo. Susundan natin ang proseso sa korte,
Maaaring pwedeng gawin defense ng defense panel ay paliitin ang amounts by scrutinizing every document, every amount,

Manases Carpio Defends Personal Credit Card Expenses

These were personal expenditures made with my own money for specific purposes. They should not be misrepresented as expenses of Vice President Sara Duterte or linked to her official functions,
We are now treading on dangerous grounds where your personal credit card expenses can be made public or disclosed by questionable subpoenas and will be used as propaganda or throw shade at your character and integrity,

Mans claims bills, denies Sara link

The transactions flagged by the prosecution’s financial forensic analyst Alexander Cabrera included two Nike SM Davao purchases totaling about P300,000, a P256,882.50 purchase at Nike Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur and a P205,000 bill at Ginza Inakaya restaurant in Tokyo

There is nothing illegal about spending my own hard-earned money. No public funds were used for these personal expenses,
At the end of the day, we will test their conflicting claims or narratives against the evidence that emerges so we can remain objective. We will follow the court process,
It is really difficult because the evidence is detailed and supported by documents, government records and private company records. That is a formidable challenge,
Any discussion of these transactions should be based on the actual circumstances, the source of the money, and the purpose of the expenditures — not on insinuations that have no factual basis,

Zambales, Bataan fishers question VP Sara's silence on WPS

For us, the impeachment trial of the vice president is not only about unexplained and ill-gotten wealth. It is about our livelihood, safety, and the country’s sovereignty. We face danger at sea, and we deserve leaders who will fight for us, not multimillionaire traitors,
Bawat bangkang itinataboy, bawat mangingisdang tinatakot, at bawat araw na hindi kami makapangisda ay kabuhayang nawawala at pamilyang nagugutom. Habang kami ang nagdurusa sa panggigipit ng China, karapatan naming malaman kung saan nakatayo ang ating mga pinuno,
Madam VP Sara, kaya po ba tahimik kayo sa gitna ng karahasan at kalupitan na sinasapit namin sa West Philippine Sea sa kamay ng Tsina ay dahil nabayaran ng milyones ang inyong katahimikan?"
Habang kami ay hinaharass, tinatakot, pinagnanakawan ng huling isda at itinataboy ng mga barko ng China sa sarili naming karagatan, ang Bise Presidente at ang kanyang asawa ay diumano tumanggap ng milyon-milyon mula sa China. Hindi ba isa itong katrayduran? Hindi dapat ipaliwanag ito sa taumbayan
Ang West Philippine Sea ay atin. Hindi dapat ang milyones ng Tsina ang manaig sa karapatan ng mga mangingisdang Pilipino na mangisda nang malaya at ligtas sa sarili nilang karagatan,

Barbers Questions VP Sara Duterte's Silence on WPS

The allegations emerged during the impeachment proceedings involving Duterte's alleged unexplained wealth from 2007 to 2025

It is a big disservice to the Filipino people that when you were campaigning you swore to protect the country and the public’s interest. Now the public are asking, why has there been no statement coming from the Vice President?”
[Duterte] hasn’t even given any statement to challenge the aggressiveness of China,

Marcos: Ayungin incident may affect ASEAN-China COC talks

And we have to give them a snappy salute for the good work. But it is unfortunate that this happened and it seems to indicate a new phase in escalation in the actions that are being undertaken in the West Philippine Sea,
So, it's really a sticky problem and we're hoping our allies are in the region around the West Philippine Sea who have always supported our international law-based position, will help us in this regard and they are. We are receiving assistance from many, many countries in many different ways. Some of which are new. That we never had these kind of engagements before but it's happening. It's happening now,

Marcos says social media ban for minors a tough decision

Bongbong Marcospresident
First of all, it's not surprising at all that the legislators will really do this and ban whatever it is that we feel is influencing our kids to do these terrible things. Now that we have made a response, we have to look at it further to examine really what are the causes... The question that I always ask when we started discussing this and talking to — hindi ito police problem, hindi ito education problem, this is a psychological problem,
So this is what we're trying to understand. And the answers aren't clear because we're looking not only to what happens in the Philippines, we're looking at what's happening everywhere else in the world because unfortunately, this is a generational problem,
So, the reason that we immediately banned certain ones was that ‘yung mga provider, kung minsan sinasabi nila wala kaming opisina diyan, wala kaming control, wala kaming magagawa, kaya basically it's out of our hands,

Marcos: Phl never started WPS brawl

Bongbong Marcospresident
So no, we have not been aggressive at all. We have reached a point where aggression is felt more than in any other country in the region. So I assure you, the aggression doesn’t come from the Philippines,
It is very hard to say that... okay, we will finish it by November when we hand the gavel to Singapore. I am confident to say that it will be done. What I say is that we made a great deal of progress,
We are there, we are sitting in our country, and what we do is defend our rights, defend our territory,

Senator Padilla Warns of Minority Boycott Amid Constitution

But we won't be offended by that because, to be honest, we're just a small minority from the start. They were the only ones who moved to us. We're not expecting them to be loyal all the way. That's how it is in the Senate,
There's no such discussion [to skip impeachment in the minority], but it may come to that soon,
We, the pro-Constitution, believe that we should obey the Constitution…We don't want it to get bent. If the bending of the law doesn’t stop, we might really reach a point where we will no longer attend,

Marcos explores nuclear power with Singapore experts

Joined by Trade Secretary Cristina Roque and Finance Secretary Frederick Go, among other government officials and private sector representatives, such as Aboitiz Group president and CEO Sabin Aboitiz and Ayala Group’s Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, the President listened to a discussion by Low Xin Wei, CEO of the Singapore Nuclear Research and Safety Initiative (SNRSI), on how nuclear energy can be a viable source of power for the Philippines

Bongbong Marcospresident
In 1986, we were already in the first two phases. In fact, that pool of trained professionals, government, the master's, PhD, professionals, they're still around. They're still around. They're still around, waiting to put their knowledge into practice. So we were never going to do the last phase that you have. We already managed to do the first and the second, and too bad, they stopped it,
As a small nation, we do not have many options. With no natural energy sources and too little land, our energy options are limited. Our main domestic renewable energy source — solar — can contribute only up to around 10% of our electricity needs by 2050, even though we are one of the most solar-dense cities in the world. To meet growing energy needs while achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, Singapore needs to be open to exploring clean energy sources for power generation. This includes nuclear energy,
