Amal Clooney For The Prosecution In The Duterte ICC Case?

Leave a comment

Clooney

As Rodrigo Duterte stares down the ICC, the speculation over his defense team is more gripping than a primetime teleserye. First on the list is former Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea—because, well, loyalty points matter. Then there’s Harry Roque, the once-human-rights-lawyer-turned-Duterte-cheerleader, who will probably argue that the ICC has no jurisdiction while enjoying Dutch stroopwafels. Sara Duterte might also step in—because what’s a family business without family? Salvador Panelo will surely show up in an outrageous outfit, while Glenn Chong may try to argue election fraud instead of crimes against humanity. And of course, Trixie Cruz-Angeles will be live-blogging the entire thing.

But the real twist? A dream team headed by Amal Clooney for the prosecution. After all, Mrs. George Clooney has represented world leaders and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Ressa!

The ICC courtroom will turn into a Hollywood blockbuster as Clooney, defender of democracy, takes on Team Duterte’s legal circus. If this were a Netflix series, it’d be called Objection! The Philippine Drama You Never Knew You Needed.

Duterte Arrest And ICC Trial: What Would Camille Villar Say?

Leave a comment

In the grand theater of Philippine politics, the Villar family has taken center stage, offering a masterclass in synchronized commentary on former President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent ICC arrest. Senator Mark Villar, ever the paragon of empathy, expressed his heartfelt sorrow over Duterte’s predicament, lamenting that the former president’s “simple wish to be judged by the Filipino people did not reach fruition.”  One can almost hear the collective gasp of a nation, pondering the complexities of international law over their morning pandesal.

Not to be outdone, the matriarch, Senator Cynthia Villar, has historically championed the notion that political dynasties are merely the people’s choice, much like selecting between adobo and sinigang.  Her nuanced perspective adds a layer of depth to the ICC discourse, reminding us that in the Philippines, public service is a family affair.

Meanwhile, Camille Villar, the senatorial hopeful, has maintained a strategic silence on the Duterte debacle. Drawing from her previous pearls of wisdom and ambush media interviews, we imagine her saying “Thank you, thank you!” to questions about her stance on the Duterte case.

In this riveting saga, the Villar family’s responses (or lack thereof) provide a satirical lens through which we can appreciate the intricate choreography of Philippine politics.

Sara Duterte’s Higher Calling

Leave a comment

Sara Duterte has a higher calling now—defending her father at the International Criminal Court (ICC). As a devoted daughter and a self-proclaimed legal expert, she must focus all her energy on this noble cause.

Being Vice President is clearly a distraction! How can she possibly juggle both roles efficiently? Defending a former president from crimes against humanity isn’t just another weekend hobby—it requires full commitment!

Besides, her well-documented temper might not sit well with the ICC judges. A few anger management sessions could prevent her from shouting “P***ng ina mo!” in open court, which, let’s face it, could lead to contempt charges.

Resignation isn’t just advisable—it’s the patriotic thing to do! And hey, if she steps down, her impeachment becomes irrelevant. That’s one less problem for the country! A true win-win for everyone—especially for Sara.
