ICC RELEASES REDACTED VERSION OF CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE

The International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday, 22 September, publicly released a redacted version of the summary and details of the criminal charges filed against former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, in connection with alleged crimes committed during his administration’s controversial “war on drugs.”

The release includes a summary of the charges, background of the investigation, legal basis for prosecution, and a timeline of alleged human rights violations. While specific names and sensitive information have been withheld to protect witnesses and ongoing proceedings, the document outlines the scope and nature of the alleged crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, and other inhumane acts reportedly committed between 2016 and 2019.

The move follows months of deliberations and petitions by victims’ groups and international human rights organizations for greater transparency in the ongoing case. The redacted document aims to balance public interest with the need to ensure the safety of witnesses and integrity of the judicial process.

The ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor reaffirmed that the charges were the result of a “rigorous, independent, and evidence-based investigation,” and that proceedings will continue in accordance with international legal standards.

As of this release, former President Duterte has not issued an official response. Philippine government officials have previously challenged the ICC’s jurisdiction, citing the country’s withdrawal from the Rome Statute in 2019. However, the ICC maintains it retains authority over crimes committed while the Philippines was still a State Party.

Further details, including the redacted summary, are now publicly accessible via the ICC’s official website: https://www.icc-cpi.int

NATIONWIDE PROTESTS ERUPT AS FILIPINOS DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY OVER ALLEGED MULTI-TRILLION PESO CORRUPTION SCANDAL
By Kathryn Noelle U. Mascardo | TPNC Correspondent

A powerful wave of public outrage swept across the country on Sunday, September 21, as tens of thousands of Filipinos took to the streets to demand accountability for alleged large-scale corruption in government, particularly in flood control and infrastructure projects.

Coinciding with the 53rd anniversary of Martial Law, the coordinated demonstrations—held in cities and provinces nationwide—were sparked by growing frustrations over unresolved systemic issues such as worsening floods, the daily struggle of commuters, and the soaring cost of basic goods.

Recent Senate hearings have uncovered deeply troubling revelations, pointing to a trail of unexplained wealth, lavish lifestyles, and questionable dealings involving public officials and contractors tied to flood mitigation projects. What began as a public outcry against flooding has now uncovered a broader web of alleged corruption, prompting a nationwide demand for justice.

In Metro Manila, two of the largest gatherings—“Baha sa Luneta” and the “Trillion Peso March”—brought together citizens from all walks of life: students, workers, professionals, and civil society groups, all united in their call to end impunity and pursue those responsible for plundering public funds.

“This is not just about floods anymore. It’s about a broken system where public service has been replaced by personal greed,” said one protest leader during the Luneta program.

Across regional centers, similar pockets of protest were organized, echoing a singular message: Enough is enough. It’s time to hold the corrupt accountable.

As the call for transparency and reform grows louder, organizers vow that the September 21 demonstrations are only the beginning of a sustained movement to reclaim integrity in public service and ensure justice for the Filipino people.

ATENEO STUDENTS STAGE WALKOUT TO PROTEST CORRUPTION

Students of Ateneo de Manila University walked out of their classes on Friday, in a unified protest against corruption in government.

Gathering on campus grounds, the students held placards and delivered speeches calling for transparency, accountability, and justice. The demonstration adds to the growing wave of youth-led mobilizations across the country in recent weeks.

“We refuse to be silent while billions are lost to corruption,” one student leader said during the protest. “Our education compels us to speak out and demand better.”

The peaceful walkout was organized by various student organizations and supported by faculty members, echoing the institution’s long-standing tradition of social involvement and nation-building.

EJ OBIENA DOMINATES ATLETANG PINOY AYALA WORLD POLE VAULT CHALLENGE IN MAKATI

Filipino pole vault sensation and world No. 7 Ernest John “EJ” Obiena soared to victory at the Atletang Ayala World Pole Vault Challenge, held on Sunday, September 21, 2025, at the Ayala Triangle Gardens.

Fulfilling a long-time dream to bring world-class pole vaulting to Filipino soil, Obiena not only played host but also ruled the World Athletics-sanctioned event by clearing 5.80 meters on his second attempt, clinching the gold before an energized home crowd.

France’s Thibaut Collet, ranked world No. 12, also managed a 5.80-meter clearance but settled for second place after completing the feat on his third try. Poland’s Piotr Lisek, currently No. 15 in the world, secured third place with a 5.60-meter jump.

Rounding out the top five were Matt Ludwig of the United States and Ersu Şaşma of Turkey (world No. 5), both registering 5.45 meters in a tightly contested field of elite vaulters.

The event marked a significant milestone not only in Obiena’s career but also in Philippine athletics, as it showcased international talent and elevated local interest in field events.

Vice Ganda Calls for Stronger Penalties Against Corrupt Officials During Trillion Peso March Rally

Acclaimed comedian and television host Vice Ganda delivered a fiery speech during the Trillion Peso March held at the People Power Monument along EDSA, calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty for government officials involved in large-scale corruption.

Speaking before a crowd of demonstrators rallying against alleged anomalies in flood control projects and other public fund mismanagement, Vice Ganda did not hold back.

“Ibalik ang death penalty sa mga corrupt. Ikulong pati pamilya nila,” Vice declared, underscoring her belief that corruption is a betrayal of the Filipino people that deserves the harshest consequences.

(“Bring back the death penalty for corrupt officials. Jail even their families.”)

The “It’s Showtime” host stressed that stealing from the nation, particularly through corrupt practices in government, is more heinous than crimes committed by murderers or terrorists, as it deprives millions of Filipinos of basic services, safety, and dignity.

Vice Ganda’s remarks added emotional weight to the rally, which was attended by civic groups, activists, and concerned citizens demanding accountability and transparency in government spending.

The Trillion Peso March echoes past nationwide protests, calling for urgent reforms, independent investigations, and the prosecution of those allegedly involved in multi-billion peso irregularities in infrastructure projects.

SARAH GERONIMO, NAGBIGAY NG MAKABULUHANG MENSAHE SA PAGBUBUKAS NG UAAP SEASON 88

“Balang araw, babaguhin ninyo ang bulok na sistema ng bansang ito.”

Setyembre 20, 2025 –Sa isang makabagbag - damdaming pananalita na umantig sa puso ng sambayanan, nagbigay ng inspirasyon si Sarah Geronimo sa pagbubukas ng UAAP Season 88 na ginanap sa University of Sto. Tomas (UST) kung saan kanyang hinikayat ang kabataan na manatiling pag-asa ng bayan.

“Ang ating mga kabataan, kayo ang pag-asa ng bayan. Balang araw, babaguhin ninyo ang bulok na sistema ng bansang ito. Huwag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Kumapit tayo sa pag-asa at tiwala… Darating ang araw, ang minamahal nating Pilipinas ay uunlad,” pahayag ni Geronimo sa kanyang taos-pusong mensahe.

Ang kanyang salita ay mabilis na kumalat sa social media at naging trending topic, habang libo-libong netizens ang nagpahayag ng paghanga at pasasalamat sa kanyang matapang na paninindigan at inspirasyong hatid.

Itinuturing ng marami ang mensahe bilang isang panawagan para sa pagbabago at muling pagkabuhay ng pag-asa—lalo na sa mga kabataang humaharap sa mga hamon ng kasalukuyang panahon.

Binigyang-diin din ni Sarah na ang kinabukasan ng Pilipinas ay nasa kamay ng mga kabataan—na may kakayahang baguhin ang sistema at itaguyod ang mas makatarungan at maunlad na lipunan.
