Aguirre: #MissUniverse Loss an Indirect Attempt to Destroy Duterte
MANILA – An indirect attempt to destroy President Rodrigo Duterte.
This was how Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre II described the loss of Miss Universe Philippines Maxine Medina after she failed to make it to the final top 3.
Speaking to reporters at his office Monday, Aguirre described the incident as “only an isolated incident” that was being used to tarnish the reputation of the country and in turn undermine public support for Duterte.
The president earlier agreed to host this year’s iteration of the Miss Universe pageant.
“Mayroong nagsasabi na ostensibly ang binibira rito ay ating candidate na si Maxine, ngunit ang latay nito ay sa ating Pangulong Duterte. Hindi magawang siraan ang pangulo dahil napakalaki ng suporta niya, kaya ang ginagawa ay siraan si Ms. Medina,” Aguirre said.
“Pag nasira nila si Maxine Medina, pag nasira ang katatagan ng mga beks, masisira ang tiwala at katatagan ng tao sa ating pangulo,” he added.
Aguirre however called on the Department of Tourism (DOT) to probe the case.
“Paigtingin nyo ang malalim na pagimbestiga sa nangyaring ito para matatagan ang ating mga sisters,” he said
At a later press conference, DOT Secretary Wanda Teo declined to confirm Aguirre’s statement about an alleged plan to use the Miss Universe result against her and Duterte.
She said they will dig deeper if they uncover links to such a plot.
“That did not come from me. That statement came from SOJ [Secretary of Justice]. Basta kami ngayon we will focus our investigation doon sa facts,” Teo said.
Sorry, Liberals, but Trump Didn’t Choose Which Muslim Nations To Ban. Obama Did
Liberals everywhere are complaining about Trump’s “racist Muslim ban” but they don’t actually know the origin of the Executive Order.
Aren’t they going to receive the shock of a lifetime when they realize that it’s not Trump who picked which countries from which we should temporarily block immigration.

As you have surely heard by now, liberals are absolutely losing their mind about President Trump’s executive order on immigration to the US. However, what the left is conveniently forgetting is that Trump didn’t choose what countries to ban from entry…Barack Obama did.
As you have surely heard by now, liberals are absolutely losing their mind about President Trump’s executive order on immigration to the US. However, what the left is conveniently forgetting is that Trump didn’t choose what countries to ban from entry…Barack Obama did.Mic News reports:According to the draft copy of Trump’s executive order, the countries whose citizens are barred entirely from entering the United States is based on a bill that Obama signed into law in December 2015. Obama signed the Visa Waiver Program Improvement and Terrorist Travel Prevention Act as part of an omnibus spending bill. The legislation restricted access to the Visa Waiver Program, which allows citizens from 38 countries who are visiting the United States for less than 90 days to enter without a visa.
Though outside groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and NIAC Action — the sister organization of the National Iranian American Council — opposed the act, the bipartisan bill passed through Congress with little pushback.
I didn’t see any protests taking place when Obama signed this bill. Is it possible that these people don’t even care about the action being taken, so much as the person taking it?
Logical consistency is hard to find these days.

“Aquino and Roxas behind the scalawag image of PNP”
If until now the yellow people are still clueless, let us point out one of the more obvious reasons why your presidential candidate was soundly rejected in the last election -- because your candidate and your titular head have no sense of genuine leadership, especially in matters concerning peace and order and law enforcement. And this lack of strong leadership amplify the ineptness and the rogue perception of the police force, which then can lead to only two conclusion -
Either Noynoy Aquino and Mar Roxas are complete idiots when it comes to police matters, or that they are in collusion with those who have perpetuated the scalawag image of our supposedly foremost protectors.
Now I would bet my entire fortune that it is the latter. That Aquino and Roxas are the two biggest reason why we have this criminal-infested Philippine National Police. That these two, the ex-president and the ex-DILG head, are the ones who fostered a culture of impunity and crime within the police ranks, and these two are the biggest protectors of the scalawags in uniform. It is why this country almost became a Narco- State.
And it is why there are still elements within the force who would go out of their way to embarrass and destabilize the current administration and PNP leadership, to the point that they would not hesitate to order their gofers to kill a foreigner right inside Camp Crame. Make no mistake about it. The PNP of today bears the imprint of Aquino-Roxas, and there is really conclusive proof of how they are complicit and how they tolerate miscreants with badges.
Proof you ask? Exhibit A: Mamasapano and the SAF44. We can discuss at length how Aquino-Roxas made themselves obvious of their collusion or collaboration with scoundrels like Alan Purisima or Marcelo Garbo but suffice to say, we just simply look at the last 6 years and describe what kind of police force do we really have.
With that in mind, it behoves President Duterte and PNP Chief Ronaldo Dela Rosa to fast track their reform program in the PNP and they should immediately expose all those who are desisting or derailing their plan of action. The scalawags are playing a deadly game, and they are going all out, regardless of how their destructive methods will affect the economy, the citizenry and the country. All their efforts are geared toward tearing the nation apart by neutralizing the valiant and paradigm-shifting effort of the Duterte admin
They want to reduce the rock that is Bato with paper (illegal drugs) and scissors (KFR, murder sprees), and they have no qualms about it, nor do they care and will hurt every one who gets in their way.
It is why we have this sad state of law enforcement and it is why we still do not have that utmost confidence in our authorities. 6 years of what is supposedly Daang Matuwid and what do we really have? 6 years to do things right and to improve significantly, only to realize that we have been duped and that we are constantly being used and abused.
But now we know better. And we have shown it thru the ballot. Now we know that Duterte and Bato are so unlike Aquino and Roxas. Now we know that even as these yellow bastards continue to undermine and destabilize our path to genuine change, we have a real leadership and a strong tandem in law enforcement who would take the bullet for us. In this deadly version of roshambo or selection, we know who we will choose --

Sen Manny Pacquiao Urges Investigation Of Yolanda Fund Anomalies! Do You Agree With Him?
Senator Manny Pacquiao is a modern-day renaissance man, balancing both a fighting career and a place in the senate on his plate that includes all sorts of heavy responsibilities.
His passion has led him to be a senator, a boxer, the people’s champion, a CEO, a father and a husband, among others.
Being a ray of hope to many disenfranchised people, Senator Pacquiao has continued his fight in the anti-corruption campaign of President Rodrigo Duterte, by supporting the probe on the Yolanda fund irregularities under the Aquino administration.
“The Senate should conduct a probe to ferret out the truth. This should not be construed as plain and simple muckraking or political persecution. Those who were involved must be punished if proven guilty of mishandling the funds." Pacquiao said.
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Judy Taguiwalo revealed on Monday that there were around 200,000 supposed beneficiaries of post-Yolanda emergency shelter assistance who did not receive any financial help.
Senator Pacquiao expressed his disappointment towards the heartless people who would turn their backs on the many who suffered while they enacted their selfish plans.
The 8-time multi-division world champion personally visited the disaster-struck areas last December 2013 and gave them relief goods worth Php 10 million, which was borrowed from friends because his bank account was then frozen by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
“Corruption in the distribution of aids to calamity victims must be stopped. Biktima na nga, kinakawawa at inaabuso pa,” Pacquiao bemoaned.
Pacquiao hailed the DSWD, NDRRMC including other government agencies involved in mapping out plans to cushion the impact of super Typhoon Lawin, which battered several places in Northern Luzon last week.
“The preparation and the response made by DSWD and other government agencies were commendable. You see, the number of casualties was minimal despite the fact that Typhoon Lawin was stronger and expected to be more devastating compared to Yolanda,” Pacquiao said.

Enrile Assures Justice For SAF44 If He Will Be The Gov’t Lawyer: Aquino Liable For The Incident
Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile assured former President Benigno “PNoy” Aquino III behind the bars for the death of the 44 members of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) during the incident in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, two years ago if he will serve as the lawyer for the government.
Enrile cited the crime of treason could be charged against the former president by the government’s prosecutorial agency for aiding and comforting the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) which he labeled as an enemy of the people of the Republic.
The SAF44 were killed during an MILF-influenced area while trying to enforce a warrant of arrest against an international bombing suspect named Zulkifli bin Hir also known as “Marawan”.
“Palagay ko hindi niya masasagot yong tanong ko sa kanya pag naupo siya sa witness stand,” he said.
The former senate president believes the former President should be liable for the incident since he has all the powers of as the head of state.
He has all the powers. He was in Zamboanga. He knew what was happening. He was still aboard the plane and they were already talking with (Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar”) Roxas and Defense Secretary (Voltaire) Gazmin. They were texting (suspended PNP Chief Alan) Purisima. They went to a headquarters and was briefed that there was a killing (of PNP-SAF members) in Mamasapano. He was with his defense secretary, the chief of staff, and Roxas,” he said
Enrile also pointed out thatb Aquino would’ve issued an order to help the 44 slaughtered policemen.
“There is only one who can stop them (Armed Forces of the Philippines and SAF elements near Mamasapano) from moving (to help the beleaguered SAF combatants) and that is the Commander in Chief, the President of the Republic of the Philippines. No one else,” he added.

Cayetano fires back at Rappler: Does supporting Duterte make us dogs/tuta?
Dear Rappler,
I have always respected your media organization and reporters even when I disagreed with them, and yes, even when untrue or nasty things were written about me.
That's because I believe in the freedom of the press, the value of information and transparency and in the basic human value of respect.
This meme speaks a thousand words about Rappler, the person who authored it and your editors.

We may differ drastically in our political views and how to solve the country's problems, but I'd like to believe we share the same love for GOD and Country.
We are all made from GOD's Image and are but stewards in this world, all trying to make the world better for the next generation.
Bakit kailangan mag personalan, use ad hominems, resort to name calling?
If a Cabinet Member, Senator or Congressman depicted you as dogs and twisted the good value of loyalty to the appearance of being a tuta, the media will be in an uproar. Media organizations will demand ethics cases, boycotts and maybe resignations.
(NUJP et al where are you guys?)
Yet you posted a simple apology not even directed to Sec Aguire nor to Mocha (nevermind me, I'm used to being a whipping boy anyway).
Does supporting and believing in the Duterte administration make us dogs/tuta?
Dog/Tuta? Does anything in my 24 years of service to government point to that. Haven't I stood up even at the risk of my life, when the country needed me to stand up and lend my voice.
First of all why the meme? Have you done that for past politicians (especially those you like and favor)?
Who made the meme and posted it? What was his or her punishment? But the biggest question is why such a meme existed in your office? Is Rappler doubling as a social media propaganda machine? Didn't Rappler publish an article on weaponizing the internet?
Rappler has unfairly attacked us in the past. In 2010, it even targeted our election bid in Taguig, yet I've always fought that Rappler be present in the campaign and presscons (as well as other media outfits even if they are sometimes biased), because we need transparency. We need a vibrant, free press, and responsible press.
I assume you are apologizing for your actions not just for getting caught so....
So since its (Chinese) New Year and since the BIBLE says forgive 7 times 77, I forgive you.
GOD Bless The Philippines!

Duterte on why he just can’t let Bato go: "Mahirap ang trust"
President Rodrigo Duterte has turned down Philippine National Police chief Director General Ronald Dela Rosa’s offer to resign in light of the controversy over a Korean businessman’s killing because he knew it would be difficult to find a replacement he could trust as much as his fellow Davaoeño.
In a press conference late Sunday (Jan. 29), Duterte said he does not believe Dela Rosa should be held liable for the brutal killing of Korean Jee Ick Joo because his only fault was that the incident happened at the PNP headquarters in Camp Crame.
“Actually ganito, he told me nahihiya lang siguro sabi niya, ‘Sir, to protect the image of the police, I’ll offer to sacrifice.’ So that’s a good statement. I appreciate that na para mawala na ‘yung reputasyon namin madali pa sa…Sabi ko, ‘You have committed nothing.’ Iba ‘yung scandal kung ikaw,” the President said of his conversation with Dela Rosa on Saturday (Jan. 28).
Duterte said there is no question about his trust in the PNP chief, having known him from since he was mayor of Davao City and Dela Rosa headed the police force there.
“And also the trust, mahirap ang trust… Sabi nga nila puro taga-Davao, eh wala ako magawa eh ito ‘yung mga dumaan sa akin eh… I mean there might be temptations but I’m sure that they will resist it kasi siguro alam nila that it will destroy the friendship and relationship,” he said.
Calls for Dela Rosa’s resignation emerged in light of the news about the supposed involvement of policemen in Jee’s killing last October. He, however, said he will only quit if Duterte asked him to.
The President said Dela Rosa’s resignation will not do anything good because the rogue policemen will still be in service unless they are apprehended.
“I was just facing the reality that walang magandang maratnan kung papaalisin ko si Bato and more reason for us to do more. And the correct way to do it, if I may say so, is to go after the persons who have perpetrated the crime. Sila ‘yon. Because crime is personal,” he said.

JPE vows justice for SAF44 if he gets hired as gov’t lawyer
By Mario B. Casayuran
Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile believes he can put former President Benigno Simeon Aquino III behind bars for treason arising from the slaughter of 44 members of the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) at Mamasapano, Maguindanao, two years ago if he is asked to be the lawyer for the government.
MB File-Former Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile
The crime of treason, according to Enrile, could be slapped against Aquino by the government’s prosecutorial agency for aiding and comforting the secessionist Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) which he said is an enemy of the people of the Republic.
The 44 policemen were killed at an MILF-influenced area while trying to enforce a warrant for the arrest of international bombing suspect Zulkifli bin Hir, alias “Marwan,” a Malaysian, who had a $5-million prize on his head put up by the United States.
“Palagay ko hindi niya masasagot yong tanong ko sa kanya pag naupo siya sa witness stand,” he said. (I don’t think Aquino will be able to answer my questions if he takes the witness stand).
“Ang may kasalanan dyan walang iba kundi presidente ng Pilipinas. Does he know his powers as Head of State? He has all the powers. He was in Zamboanga. He knew what was happening. He was still aboard the plane and they were already talking with (Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar”) Roxas and Defense Secretary (Voltaire) Gazmin. They were texting (suspended PNP Chief Alan) Purisima. They went to a headquarters and was briefed that there was a killing (of PNP-SAF members) in Mamasapano. He was with his defense secretary, the chief of staff, and Roxas,” he said. (Nobody is to blame but the President of the Philippines.)
“Why did he not issue an order to help those beleaguered people? There was not much casualties then. There were many casualties before the President did act. Why did he interfere in the project? It is the work of the police. He is responsible after he used Purisima as his point man, knowing he was suspended,’’ he added.
Enrile, a former Defense minister of the late President Marcos for 17 years, said it is clear that a stand down order was issued during the firefight.
“There is only one who can stop them (Armed Forces of the Philippines and SAF elements near Mamasapano) from moving (to help the beleaguered SAF combatants) and that is the Commander in Chief, the President of the Republic of the Philippines. No one else,” he added.
The Army and Air Force officials who did not help the beleaguered SAF operatives are exposed to court martial proceedings, he added.
“There is a standstill order during a firefight. God damn it, this country is rotten if that happens,” he added.
Enrile then asked aloud why the Office of the Ombudsman filed an economic crime against Purisima and (former SAF Director Getulio) Napeñas although 44 lives were lost.
“What is the graft and corruption there? The Ombudsman did it (file the controversial economic crime) to protect its boss (President Aquino),” he added.
After being temporarily released from the PNP detention center on graft charges arising from a pork barrel scandal, Enrile had the Mamasapano case reopened but the majority in the 15th Congress wanted him practically muzzled.
“Halos ayaw akong pagsalitain ng mayorya noon sa Senado (They virtually wanted to silence me). Why? They wanted to protect who? You know. There is an effort to protect the President of the country. He is no longer the President. His immunity has been lifted because he can be challenged in court. The courts are open to him. What makes him so special?” he asked.
But former President Aquino recently denied having a direct hand in the planning and execution of the operation that led to the slaughter of 44 SAF combatants.
He blamed Napeñas for the incident because he allegedly disobeyed instructions.
Former Senate Majority Leader Francisco Tatad said that since President Duterte already knows who are to blame for the Mamasapano incident, those involved must now face the music before the courts.
“Why did the President (Aquino) issue a stand down order?” he asked.

ONE DOLLAR BILL
On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you will see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.
If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.
Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore the west or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.
The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we were not even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin 's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.
'IN GOD WE TRUST' is printed on this currency.
The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, 'God has favored our undertaking.'
The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, 'a new order has begun.'
At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)
If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the United States.
It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.
The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons:
First, the eagle is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it.
Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England .
Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.
At the top of that shield there is a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation.
In the Eagle's beak you will read, 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' meaning, 'from many - one.'
Above the Eagle, we have the thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.
Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.
An (untrue) old-fashioned belief says that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will almost never see a room numbered 13 -- or any hotels with a 13th floor. But think about this:
America, which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose:
13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the pyramid, 13 letters in 'Annuit Coeptis', 13 letters in 'E Pluribus Unum,'
13 stars above the eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch, 13 fruits, and if you look closely, 13 arrows.
And finally, notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the right-hand circle.
You will see that they are arranged as a
Star of David.
This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army. Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he would like something for his people.The Star of David was the result.
Few people know it was Solomon who saved the Army through his financial contributions...then died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave $25 million to save the Continental Army, money that was sorely needed to help realize America’s --our-- freedom and independence from England .
Therein lies America’s Judeo-Christian beginning.
Most American children do NOT know any of this.
They are not taught because their history teachers do NOT know this. They were not taught!
On America ’s Freedom:
Too many veterans gave up too much to let the meaning fade.
Many veterans came home to an America that did not care.
Too many veterans never came home at all.
They served -- they died -- for you … for me.
Please share this page so others can learn about the UNITED STATES DOLLAR BILL, and what it stands for.
America is at a critical juncture. Let's do whatever we can to save her while never, ever forgetting:
It is God in whom we put our trust!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I Love This Country! It's The Government That Scares The DAYLIGHTS Out Of Me!!!
