ICC versus Philippines Government

 By Bea Mae B. Masujer 

COMMENT:

International Criminal Court investigation toward the Philippines war on drugs case of the former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte administration should be allowed and must resume in order to uncover the truth in this case.  No one wants to base their life on anything fake or false, so we thoroughly search for the truth in every aspect of our life and seeking for justice cannot be excluded in this matter. Plus, we’re all aware that this investigation is very important to the families of the war on drugs victims because it brings hope to them to get the justice they deserve. And honestly, if the Philippines government is not really guilty of the alleged crime committed during the anti-drugs operation they should have just let the International Criminal Court continue the investigation with no need to request suspension for it but because of their response to the said situation society might perceive this in a wrong way and assume that there is really something wrong and there’s crime committed at that time, that possibly the Philippines government is trying to cover and hide this truth from us and thus the former administration withdrawal in Roman Statue year 2017 might have done  with a purpose. Prior to their war on drugs campaign everyone might perceive that their act of withdrawal is an strategy to avoid one of the possible big problem while engaging with International Criminal Court, so to stop this from happening the government withdraws in Roman Statue and now that the investigation will continue the government bid suspension for the ground reason that the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction over our country because of the said withdrawal and the justice system here it's already doing its job to seek  justice for the victims if that's the case, why don't they just help and cooperate with the ICC so that this case will be easier to solve. I’m afraid that the never ending reasoning of the both sides to fight and support their discourse in the situation will lead for an investigation to be in vain and it is obviously kind of unfair to the victims who lost their lives. So, I solely support the reopened investigation that the International Criminal Court wants in the case regardless of our government's stated reasons intended to suspend it. I believe that continuing the investigation is the right thing to do since justice and truth is vital for everyone.

  by Aprille Paula O. Salvino  Photo from CNN Philippines  On Sunday, May 28, House Speaker Martin Romualdez stated that the House Representatives are set to approve two more laws proposed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. this week on final reading. The Philippine Salt Industry Development Bill and the Bureau of Immigration Modernization Bill are the two suggested laws that are expected to be implemented. The Philippine Salt Industry Development Bill aims to revitalize the Philippines' declining salt industry, as the country currently imports the majority of its salt supplies. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Immigration Modernization Bill aims to modernize the country's 83-year-old immigration legislation, the Commonwealth-era Philippine Immigration Act of 1940. It also aims to combat transnational crimes such as smuggling, unlawful recruiting, as well as human trafficking. The law also tries to modernize the compensation of immigration officers. According to the office of the...

DOJ will investigate torture allegations of Degamo suspect

  by Adrian T. Organo  If it is true that the suspects were tortured and threatened the safety of their families by the authorities, the court should pay attention to this issue. It must be investigated, for us to know the truth. Another thing that should be focused upon in the investigation is the person who is really the prime suspect of the crime. In regards to this chaos case, many side stories were heard and all of the stories have different angles, points, and prime suspects, but one thing is for sure to be very disturbing is the allegation of torturing the suspects well in my own opinion if the investigation is still on process everyone must presume to be innocent until it was proven that they are guilty of the crime so any punishment must not be done first. However, in the claims of the suspects they were tortured and it seems like authorities took advantage of their position and abused their power which was absolutely wrong.  NEWS: https://bawaannews.blogspot.com...

The danger caused by climate change this year

  by  Aprille Paula O. Salvino Side effects of climate change in this year continuously became aggressive, resulting in a possible high risk in humanity  and in our world.  According to the report of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) on its own  174-year record, March 2023 was the second warmest month. The year-to-date global surface temperature (January-March) was the fourth highest on record and according to the National Centers for Environmental Information's (NCEI's) Global Annual Temperature Outlook, 2023 is almost certain (>99.0%) to be one of the ten warmest years on record, with a 96% chance of being one of the top five. The world's leading climate scientists have warned that there are just seven years left to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, after which even a half-degree increase will greatly aggravate the dangers of drought, floods, and excessive heat. An international climate change treaty was established ...
