[A]ng prangkisa ay isang pribilehiyo lamang, hindi ito isang karapatan. At ito dapat ay ginagawad lamang doon sa mga nararapat na pagbigyan. 'Yung sinabi ni Solicitor General Calida na mga violation magmula doon sa mga hindi pagbayad ng tax, 'yung kanilang paggamit ng mga wala doon sa kanilang orihinal na prangkisa gaya na lamang noong TV Plus. 'Yan ay mga hayagang paglalabag 'yan na talagang nagpapatunay lamang na hindi na dapat bigyan ng franchise ang ABSCBN sapagkat bakit mo bibigyan ng isang pribilehiyo 'yung isang entity na walang ginawa kundi maglabag ng batas.

Masakit na isipin na ang may kagagawan ng krimen na 'yan ikukulong lang. Kaya kinakailangang siya ay patawan ng parusang kamatayan. Ang kamatayan na sinasabi nila ay dapat Diyos lamang ang nakakaalam eh ang batas ng tao ay boses din ng Diyos, ang boses ng tao ay boses din ng Diyos.

We are at a loss here because in international law, owning a territory is by means of occupation and exercising ownership. We failed to do that when Noynoy Aquino abandoned those rocks and allowed the Chinese vessels to go there and occupy it. It is as if we have surrendered our rights.

Anti-terror law

Mga kababayan, 'yang Anti-Terrorism Bill ay kailangang-kailangan natin sapagkat masyado na namamayani 'yung mga terorista dito sa ating bayan at hindi lang dito sa ating bayan kun'di sa ibang sulok din ng daigdig. In fact, mas mahigpit pa nga ang Anti-Terrorism Bill ng ibang mga bansa kaysa sa atin. Kagaya na nga diyan sa Singapore, sa Saudi Arabia. Marami silang mga batas na mas mahigpit pa sa atin. Pabayaan ba nating maulit pa 'yang mga kagaya ng Marawi, yung mga pagpasabog ng MRT, yung SAF 44. Kailangan pa ba nating ulit-ulitin yan? 'Yan ay sanhi ng mga terorista. Ang ating mga kapulisan at Philippine Army ay kulang na kulang sa ngipin ng pagpapatupad ng batas sapagkat marami silang limitasyon. Ngayon itong Anti-Terrorism Bill ay magbibigay sa kanila ng mga guidelines at mga procedure at yong mga batas na kug saan sila pwedeng mag-implement ng anti-terrorism moves. At ito naman ay hindi nangangahulugan na violation ng human rights.

Pandemic Gov't Response

Para sa akin kalabisan na either naka-faceshield ka o naka face mask ka. Hindi ako naniniwala sa DOH. Ako umiikot ako sa mahigit dalawampung ospital na mga covid centers, nagbibigay ako ng mga donasyon, hindi naman ako na-Covid. Mabuti na lamang yung barrier, tinanggal na nila. Dahil kalabisan na talaga 'yon, biruin mo naka facemask ka na, nakafaceshield ka pa, nakahelmet ka pa, may barrier pa. Sa totoo lang, ang COVID, curable. Sobrang pananakot ang ginawa sa atin ng DOH. Tumigil ang ekonomiya natin dahil sa pananakot na 'yan.

Bakit 'kanyo? Dahil dito sa Martial Law ay tumahimik ang Pilipinas. Hindi tayo nasakop ng mga komunista na sila Joma Sison at sina Ninoy Aquino.

Gadon wants to kill Muslims? When asked about how he would go about achieving peace in Mindanao, Gadon says that he would personally plead, even cry blood and stones. He will do this 10 times. But on the 11th, he would change tactics. He had this to say "lulusubin ko sila roon. Dadalhin ko ang buong pwersa ng sandatahang Pilipinas at papatayin ko silang lahat. Susunugin ko yang mga bahay nila. Papatayin ko ang mga ipis at daga." Kara David, the interviewer, asked "Pati mga bata?" to which Gadon responded, "lahat, kailangan burahin ang lahi nila. Kahit masunog ang kaluluwa ko sa impyerno gagawin ko yan. " April 2016

War on Drugs

Sa tingin ko yung ginagawa ni Presidente Duterte sa war on drugs ay maayos na maayos so dapat lang na ipagpatuloy yan. Maganda naman ang nagiging resulta nito no? And malaking malaki na ang naibawas sa problema sa drugs.

Masuwerte pa nga sila, kasi kung ako ang presidente, mas marami akong pinatay. Mas marami akong papatayin kung ako ang presidente, mahina pa 'yang si Digong eh. I don't believe there are EJKs. 'Yang mga killings na 'yan, ano 'yan, gawa rin 'yan ng mga drug syndicates.

ABS-CBN Franchise Renewal

[A]ng prangkisa ay isang pribilehiyo lamang, hindi ito isang karapatan. At ito dapat ay ginagawad lamang doon sa mga nararapat na pagbigyan. 'Yung sinabi ni Solicitor General Calida na mga violation magmula doon sa mga hindi pagbayad ng tax, 'yung kanilang paggamit ng mga wala doon sa kanilang orihinal na prangkisa gaya na lamang noong TV Plus. 'Yan ay mga hayagang paglalabag 'yan na talagang nagpapatunay lamang na hindi na dapat bigyan ng franchise ang ABSCBN sapagkat bakit mo bibigyan ng isang pribilehiyo 'yung isang entity na walang ginawa kundi maglabag ng batas.

Revival of Death Penalty

Dapat lamang na ibalik ang death penalty sapagkat 'yung mga karumal-dumal na krimen ay kinakailangan ring sugpuin at paano mo ipapaliwanag sa mga magulang na ang kanilang mga anak ay ginahasa, pinatay, kinatay ang katawan, at itinapon ang katawan kung saan-saang parte. Masakit na isipin na ang may kagagawan ng krimen na 'yan ikukulong lang. Kaya kinakailangang siya ay patawan ng parusang kamatayan. Ang kamatayan na sinasabi nila ay dapat Diyos lamang ang nakakaalam eh ang batas ng tao ay boses din ng Diyos, ang boses ng tao ay boses din ng Diyos.

Assertion of Ownership on West Philippine Sea

China has repeatedly stood firm that it does not subject itself to the arbitration and it does not submit to its authority hence there is no valid arbitration ruling that would legally bind China into obeying the judgement.

We are at a loss here because in international law, owning a territory is by means of occupation and exercising ownership. We failed to do that when Noynoy Aquino abandoned those rocks and allowed the Chinese vessels to go there and occupy it. It is as if we have surrendered our rights.

Kung ako n'yan, payag ako sa joint exploration, because a joint exploration would mean that China is respecting our rights. Kasi ba't ko i-shashare sa iyo ang kinikita ko kung hindi ko nirerespect 'yan...hindi ko nga malaman dito sa mga nag-ooppose niyan eh. Dun sa mga nag-ooppose diyan, eto lang ang advice ko sa kanila. Put up an army and invade China if you want. Huwag niyong idamay ang mga Pilipino dito. Kung gusto niyo magpakamatay, sige mag-gyera kayo don."

Anti-terror law

Mga kababayan, 'yang Anti-Terrorism Bill ay kailangang-kailangan natin sapagkat masyado na namamayani 'yung mga terorista dito sa ating bayan at hindi lang dito sa ating bayan kun'di sa ibang sulok din ng daigdig. In fact, mas mahigpit pa nga ang Anti-Terrorism Bill ng ibang mga bansa kaysa sa atin. Kagaya na nga diyan sa Singapore, sa Saudi Arabia. Marami silang mga batas na mas mahigpit pa sa atin. Pabayaan ba nating maulit pa 'yang mga kagaya ng Marawi, yung mga pagpasabog ng MRT, yung SAF 44. Kailangan pa ba nating ulit-ulitin yan? 'Yan ay sanhi ng mga terorista. Ang ating mga kapulisan at Philippine Army ay kulang na kulang sa ngipin ng pagpapatupad ng batas sapagkat marami silang limitasyon. Ngayon itong Anti-Terrorism Bill ay magbibigay sa kanila ng mga guidelines at mga procedure at yong mga batas na kug saan sila pwedeng mag-implement ng anti-terrorism moves. At ito naman ay hindi nangangahulugan na violation ng human rights.

Pandemic Gov't Response

Para sa akin kalabisan na either naka-faceshield ka o naka face mask ka. Hindi ako naniniwala sa DOH. Ako umiikot ako sa mahigit dalawampung ospital na mga covid centers, nagbibigay ako ng mga donasyon, hindi naman ako na-Covid. Mabuti na lamang yung barrier, tinanggal na nila. Dahil kalabisan na talaga 'yon, biruin mo naka facemask ka na, nakafaceshield ka pa, nakahelmet ka pa, may barrier pa. Sa totoo lang, ang COVID, curable. Sobrang pananakot ang ginawa sa atin ng DOH. Tumigil ang ekonomiya natin dahil sa pananakot na 'yan.

Injustices Committed by the Marcoses during Martial Law

September 21 na naman at ating ipinagdiriwang ang anibersaryo ng Martial Law at para sa mga tunay na Pilipino, mga Pilipino na matatalino, mga Pilipino na nagmamahal sa bayan ang Martial Law ay napakagandang pangyayari sa ating kasaysayan. Bakit 'kanyo? Dahil dito sa Martial Law ay tumahimik ang Pilipinas. Hindi tayo nasakop ng mga komunista na sila Joma Sison at sina Ninoy Aquino. At ang ating mga imprastraktura ay nabuo noong Martial Law.

Hindi, sapagkat kinakailangan ang martial law nung time na yun upang 'wag tayong masakop ng komunista. 'Yung maraming namatay noong martial law ay mga NPA (New People's Army) na pinatay ni Joma dahil gusto nilang sumuko. 'Yan ay malaking katotohanan yan.

What I have in mind is setting a qualification for the candidates. For example, for a congressman, you should at least be a lawyer. For a senator, you should at least be a lawyer.

Kailangan ng ICC na magmukhang may saysay ang kanilang ginagawa upang patuloy ang pagdaloy ng pondo at donasyon na kanilang pinakikinabangan ng personal.
