Of Duterte, drug lords, pork barrel

CHINA TOLD: WORLD IS WATCHING YOU. China replies: We are just waltzing you around.

DUTERTE STARTS PRESIDENCY WITH EXCELLENT TRUST RATING. Drug addicts and pushers trust him, too. They’re now surrendering, fearing for their lives, as the drug lords look on amused.

PING TO BLOCK RETURN TO “PORK.” No big deal. Pork has other names, the way reptiles do.

PORK BY ANY OTHER NAME WOULD SMELL AS BAD. Not really. Cash is always fragrant.

KOREAN WOMAN HIDES DRUGS IN UNDERWEAR. She meant to enhance their flavor and scent.

ONLY 3 MONTHS GIVEN TO WIN WAR VS. DRUGS. Stop the drug lords and win faster.

NEVER BELIEVE WHAT DUTERTE SAYS. Just give him the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise, learn to forgive your enemies.

LAOAC TOWN USES “LISTAHAN” FOR ANTI-POVERTY PROGRAMS. Jueteng lists are far more accurate and credible.

CONVICTED DRUG LORDS BEHIND A RASH OF VIGILANTE KILLINGS. Will some honorable barangay captains, honorable kagawads, honorable tanods and other honorables in government die, too?

MORE DRUG REHAB CENTERS SOUGHT FOR ADDICTS. Is ending the illegal drug trade mere wishful thinking after all? It seems that drug lords, jueteng lords and some politicians are co-terminus.

SC ORDERS RELEASE OF GMA. Will another president be jailed in her stead?

GMA VOWS TO GO AFTER HER TORMENTORS. Include her mentors.

SC ORDERS CREATION OF 240 ILLEGAL DRUGS COURTS. May none of them turn into illegal courts.

ILOCANOS WANT FM BURIED CLOSER TO HOMETOWN. Graves in Ilocos cost less.

NO DOUBLE STANDARDS IN DRUG WAR-PALACE. Better if the procedures are not sub-standard.

SUSPECTS URGED TO PROVE THEY’RE CLEAN. Has the Constitutionally mandated burden of proof in criminal cases been shifted from the accuser to the accused?

HELP MAKE CASKETS, DRUG USERS TOLD. Sounds like telling them to dig their own graves.

DUTERTE AND SUSPECTED DRUG LORD PETER LIM WERE SPONSORS AT SAME WEDDING. Did Willy Garte sing “Bawal na Gamot” at the banquet?
