ICC UPDATE: Rodrigo Duterte’s camp files a petition with the ICC asking for the former president’s interim release. Duterte’s camp is asking the court to provisionally free him while the trial is ongoing. Among the reasons they cited was that Duterte will not continue committing the alleged crimes and that he is not a flight risk.

Judge Abraham Joseph Alcantara says: "Clearly, the rebuttal evidence failed to overcome the damaging
effect of witness Ragos recantations. The totality of both extrajudicial
and judicial recantations simply destroyed the prosecution's case."

If you remember, this was the case where star witness Rafael Ragos recanted and said he was forced to lie and make up stories about De Lima. The CA, on April 30, criticized the decision and remanded it to the trial court so the judge can rewrite. Judge Alcantara says: "the original decision of
this Court was clear and unequivocal on this very basic essential point,
i.e., the recantation already created reasonable doubt."

81-yr-old grandpa released from jail after six months of detention due to mistaken identity.

Prudencio Calubid Jr. was freed on June 27. He was illegally arrested by the PNP after he was mistaken to be another person named Prudencio Calubid β€” who faces warrants.

Calubid Jr. was arrested despite proving his identity through documents and other identification papers.

Still, the police still arrested him, brought him to court, and then undergone arraignment for the crimes he did not commit.

Calubid Jr. was freed after the CA granted their writ of habeas corpus petition.

Interestingly, during the hearing, the police admitted that they got intelligence info from social media. The court took note of this and reminded the cops to base on more reliable and founded info.

How about the involved PNP officers? Will they not be punished?

JUST IN. DOJ chief Boying Remulla confirms that he will vie for the Ombudsman post. Remulla throws his hat into the ring as Duterte-appointed Samuel Martires retires this month. If ever chosen by the JBC and Marcos, he will serve for a term of 7 years – or up to 2032.

This is an excellent long-term strategy: while Martires had protected Digong, will Remulla protect PBBM? Will it still be difficult for the media to get copies of our politicians' SALN? More likely, it would still be, or worse, even harder. 😠
