Making It Fun in the Philippines

Right now, I read some news which was unfortunately taken out of context when Dr. Scott Halstead has spoken about the whole Dengvaxia fiasco. GMA-7 has reported that Dengvaxia diagnosis can't be based alone on autopsy -- which itself may be true but most people still want to use the report to discredit Atty. Persida Rueda V. Acosta's current investigations. I think Atty. Acosta herself can use some of these hints which were left behind by the 87-year-old doctor. Here's what he said that may actually show reckless administration and what the Public Attorney's Office needs to consider in their latest forensic investigations: Halstead said that for any child who receives Dengvaxia doses and later dies, two things have to be considered before concluding that the two are connected: unequivocal evidence that the infection was caused by dengue virus, which can be done by either virus isolation or identification of NS1; and knowing if the particular individual was giv...

It's no surprise that Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta a true public servant has been maligned yet again by fake news spreaders. Whether it's calling her "way more biased than Atty. Chito Gascon" to her being just being "talk and talk"-- the list can go on. It's not surprising that Abante TNT has now even made such a maligning statement that Public Attorney's Office has allegedly said that there's no evidence that Dengvaxia is fatal -- which I'm translating it for the sake of non-Tagalog speakers.  What does Abante TNT mean? Abante means forward. TNT means Tunay Na TABLOID or "Truly Tabloid" in the English language. I remembered a couple of my high school journalism classes that defined tabloid journalism as the following according to Study.com : If you've ever been to a grocery store, you've seen them: the tabloids. These are magazines focused on salacious celebrity gossip and sensational news, which you know must be...

It's disgusting to how Chito Gascon apparently shows very little concern for the Dengvaxia victims. So who's the real Commission on Human Rights chairperson right now in practice? If your answer is Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta then you've got that right. Atty. Acosta is investigating all human rights violations whether they are done by state agents or not. It doesn't take a political scientist to understand the basic fact that  CHR should go after all human rights violations -- and not just those committed by state agents. I read how so many victims of DengVaxia went to the Public Attorney's Office on Monday . This is where I'd like to ask -- does Gascon even deserve his budget or even to be called attorney? He's an attorney but he's one who doesn't live up to his name or his current position. It looks like that PAO itself has inadvertently become the Commission on Human Rights instead of the actual office where Gascon is currently the chairma...

If someone really is doing the job as a Commission on Human Rights chairperson --  it's not Atty. Chito Gascon but Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta Acosta . While Atty. Gascon only makes noise whenever it's convenient for him -- we have Atty. Acosta who is doing fair investigations. You can think of how she handled Kian Delos Santos' slay case  with much less biases all the while CHR is asleep because its chairman is asleep. Atty. Acosta knows that all human rights violations must be investigated. So why is the Public Attorney's Office stuck doing the check and balance work that CHR should be doing? It's no thanks to Atty. Gascon's lousy leadership. Yes, the problem is Atty. Gascon and not CHR. CHR just needs to be cleaned up . He should have investigated all human rights violations and put the rights of law abiding citizens first over that of criminals. Instead, he defends the guilty and leaves the innocent whenever it's convenient.  Right now, we ne...

I thought about how appointing Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta as the new chairperson of the Commission on Human Rights would be a good thing. I'm already tired of how CHR is useless only because of people like Leila Dilemma, Etta Rosales and Cheato Gascon . Right now, isn't Atty. Acosta of the Public Attorney's Office actually doing the functions that CHR is supposed to do while Gascon isn't doing his job? Gascon as the CHR chairperson should be monitoring ALL human rights violations and not just victims of cop shootings. Here's the really dumb analysis of #SilentNoMore on abusive cops and criminals . It's really mind-blowing even if I'm not a criminologist or a lawyer. They claim to #fightdisinformation while they're spreading #disinformation. It's just like the Dilawans who claim to #fightfakenews  while being agents of spreading fake news themselves. ABiaS-CBN often clips out important details to make who they favor look good and those they h...

Over the past few days I thought that the solution concerning the Commission on Human Rights may no longer #AbolishCHR but to  #FireChitoGascon  and #AppointAcosta and #ConfirmAcosta. I thought about it would be good if Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta's slamming of Risa Hontivirus-Baraquel over the Kian slay case would be good. Right now, I don't even know if Kian Delos Santos was really a drug runner or not. But even if he was he's not a big time crook and there's due process. Yes, there's due process but not the way that people like Leila Dilemma, Etta Rosales and Cheato Gascon  are the ones who are making a human rights organization useless. Here's something that Filipinos should think about what Risa has been doing and how Atty. Acosta is responding. I read an article awhile ago on Get Real Philippines that suggests Risa could be guilty of illegal detetion and withholding evidence . Before that, hasn't Risa been taking advantage of school children t...

How often have I thought that the Philippines doesn't need Commission on Human Rights until thought how many organizations would have the "need" to be abolished because of incompetence. Rotten relief goods is not because DSWD exists but because Stinky Soliman is a neglectful DSWD secretary. Taxes are converted into legalized theft not because of BIR but because of people like Butcher Abad and Kill Henares. The breakdown of the MRT is not because of the DOTC but because of Joseph Emilio Pabaya . The same goes for the CHR where the problem is not the organization itself but people like Leila Dilemma, Etta Rosales and Cheato Gascon .  I think one person who could replace Gascon would be Atty. Persida V. Rueda-Acosta. Atty. Acosta herself managed to hammer that idiot Agnes Callamard . CHR celebrated its 30th anniversary which isn't even worth celebrating. Has it really met its objective to defend human rights or just use human rights as a cover to do its selfish ...
