NBI FILES GRAVE THREAT, SEDITION RAPS VS SARA

‘It’s expected,’ says VP; lawyers question charges

MANILA – The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has added to the legal woes confronting Vice President Sara Duterte as it filed on February 12 grave threats and inciting to sedition charges against her before the Department of Justice (DOJ) over her alleged assassination threats against President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Lisa A. Marcos and Speaker Martin Romualdez.

Duterte, who is a subject of an impeachment complaint filed by over 200 members of the House of Representatives before the Senate, said the criminal complaint which is yet to be evaluated in a preliminary investigation by Prosecutor General Richard Anthony Fadullon if it is forwarded or not to the appropriate court “was expected.” Duterte earlier said that she did not expect fairness from the agency.

Asked for comment Senate President Francis Escudero said that the NBI’s filing of inciting to sedition and grave threats charges has no impact on the impending impeachment proceedings against the Vice President.

“No, that has no bearing on the impending impeachment proceedings – none at all. In fact, it can proceed simultaneously, precede, or follow. It has no relevance to the impeachment process that will be conducted by the Senate,” Escudero told Senate reporters.





NBI Director Jaime Santiago said the cases were filed in connection with Duterte’s earlier remarks that she hired someone to kill President Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Romualdez if the supposed assassination plot against her were to succeed.

Duterte earlier denied that her statement on the President, First Lady and Speaker amounted to a threat.

“Common sense should be enough for us to understand and accept that a supposed conditional act of revenge does not constitute an active threat,” she said.

The alleged grave threats were cited as one of the bases of the impeachment complaint against her and labeled as “culpable violation of the Constitution” in the seven Articles of Impeachment that were submitted to the Senate before it went into a break for the election period.

Several lawyers led by former Presidential Legal Counsel and Spokesman Salvador Panelo twitted the NBi Director, saying the NBI recommendation to file criminal charges opf grave threats and inciting to sedition against Duterte “has no basis in fact and in law.”
Panelo said the NBI actipn is “obviously tainted with politics and part of a demolition job to put the Vice Presidentt out of the 2028 presidential race.

Panelo said there can be no crime of a “threat from the grave,” adding “Neither has VP Sara publicly and tumultuously incited the people to perform acts of sedition as defined by law or to go against the constituted authorities or to stop the enforcement of laws.”



Santiago said the recommendation for the filing of the case came after a thorough evaluation, even as Duterte skipped two invitations from the NBI to attend the investigation in November and December last year.

Santiago said a six-man investigating panel, including him, unanimously agreed that Duterte is liable for inciting sedition and committing grave threats against the President, First Lady Liza Marcos and Speaker Romualdez during an online press conference on Nov. 23, 2024.

“Our lawyers and myself weighed in on the case and we are one in our findings: our decision is to file a case against the Vice President,” Santiago added.

He said it will be up to the vice president to opt to answer the charges before the prosecutors who will decide whether to file cases before the courts.

“Depende po sa prosecutor’s office, kung gusto niya magpunta, kung hindi, nasa kanya po yun (It depends on the proceedings at the prosecutor’s office, whether she wants to go or not will be up to her),” Santiago said.

“All cases filed by law enforcement officers shall be filed before the prosecutor’s office, and the prosecutor’s office shall conduct a preliminary investigation whether to file or not. They may decide to summon VP Sara or witnesses."

The NBI chief said this is in line with a recent directive requiring prosecutors to pursue only charges that have a reasonable degree of likelihood to result in conviction.

Santiago also admitted that they have yet to identify the supposed assassin.

Meanwhile, Chief State Prosecutor Richard Anthony Fadullon said the National Prosecution Service would be evaluating the complaint.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said under Department Circular No. 20, the investigating prosecutors must determine whether based on the evidence, there is a prima facie case with reasonable certainty of conviction.

“A prima facie case is established by such evidence which if left uncontroverted, shall be sufficient to establish all the elements of the crime. The process will undergo case build up as needed to assure that there is sufficient evidence and that the respondent is not unduly haled to court,” the DOJ said in a statement.\

It said the process involves requiring the respondent to submit a counter-affidavit, reviewing the evidence from both parties, and assessing whether the case meets the higher threshold of evidence for filing in court, or whether the case should be dismissed for lack of evidence.

“The crime of Grave Threats penalizes statements that create real and imminent danger to specific persons, regardless of whether actual harm occurs. The Supreme Court has ruled that what matters is the intent behind the words -- whether they were meant to convey a serious threat or instill fear. It is not necessary that the recipient actually feels intimidated or takes the words seriously; what is crucial is that the statement was made with the purpose of creating intimidation or fear. This is what the prosecutors will evaluate based on the evidence presented,” the DOJ explained.

On the other hand, the DOJ said the crime of inciting to sedition penalizes statements that pose a real and imminent threat to public order, regardless of whether actual unrest occurs.

“While freedom of speech is protected, the Supreme Court has consistently ruled that it does not extend to speech that incites violence, rebellion, or disorder. The law does not require that an unlawful act be carried out -- only that the statement was made with the intent to stir public unrest or disrupt stability. This is what the prosecutors will evaluate based on the evidence presented.”

The DOJ assured that it remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that due process is strictly followed in all legal proceedings.

According to Santiago, the penalty for grave threats depends on the crime that was threatened to be committed. The penalty is one degree lower if the threat was fulfilled, while it will be two degrees lower if it was not fulfilled.

In the case of Duterte, Santiago said she threatened to commit murder, which carries a penalty of reclusion perpetua up to 40 years in prison.

Under the Revised Penal Code, the next penalties are reclusion temporal (12 years and one day to 20 years) and prision mayor (six years and one day to 12 years).

And while Duterte’s supposed threats were not fulfilled, meaning the penalty if convicted is prision mayor, Santiago noted that the act was committed online.

Under the Cybercrime Prevention Act, penalties for crimes committed online will receive a penalty one degree higher than that stipulated in the Revised Penal Code, or back to reclusion temporal for Duterte if convicted.

Santiago, however, admitted that it remains unclear if a sitting Vice President can be imprisoned while in office. Under the Constitution, the Vice President may only be removed from office through impeachment.

“We don’t have jurisprudence that we can follow regarding that. This is the first time that a vice president was charged,” the NBI director said. “We’ll just cross the bridge when we get there.”

BUDGET WOES CONTINUE
TO HOUND MARCOS GOVERNMENT

By Beting Laygo Dolor, Editor

MANILA – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr’s problems with the 2025 budget law that he signed refuse to go away.

This time, it is his closest and arguably most powerful political ally, Speaker Martin Romualdez, who is being made to answer for the General Appropriations Act of 2025 that a former speaker says were full of illegal insertions.

Former speaker Pantaleon Alvarez filed a case against Romualdez and two others before the Ombudsman at the start of this week, accusing the incumbent of falsifying legislative documents.

In his complaint, Alvarez said Romualdez and his cohorts had placed P241 billion worth of insertions in the national budget.

Alvarez’s fellow complainants were lawyers Jimmy Bondoc, Raul Lambino, and Ferdinand Topacio, along with non-government organization Citizens Crime Watch.

Romualdez’s co-accused were House Majority Leader Jose ‘Mannix’ Dalipe, Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co, and other unnamed individuals.

They were charged at the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office on Monday.

(Note: All government officials accused of wrongdoing are tried by the Office of the Ombudsman instead of the regular courts.)

Romualdez said he would not comment on the accusations levied against him until he had seen the formal complaint.

Marcos signed the P6.326 trillion budget bill into law on December 30, last year, but not before vetoing P194 billion worth of line items.

It was former president Rodrigo Duterte and Davao City Rep. Isidro Ungab who first flagged alleged discrepancies in the budget. They cited missing budget allocations for items under the Department of Agriculture and unprogrammed appropriations.

Marcos said his predecessor was “lying.”

Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin said the budget law was legal, and had no unconstitutional provisions. He also said the administration welcomed all legal challenges to the approved budget.

Alvarez and company’s complaints centered on supposed blank entries in the bicameral conference committee report on the budget.

He said they had received copies of the bicam report via email, and it showed blank entries, but when the president signed it, it was complete. The amount involved totalled P241 billion.

Topacio said, “these amounts were illegally inserted, without authority, because it was done so after the Bicam Report was ratified, and therefore the amounts inserted were not found in the approved Bicam Report and, worse, were not ratified by Congress.''

''The correct thing to have done was to keep the blanks left as blanks, because this is what Congress ratified, but, instead, they did the exact opposite. They illegally inserted amounts worth P241 billion. This is not a correction; this is an unauthorized insertion that violated the Revised Penal Code.''

House appropriations panel acting chairperson Stella Quimbo earlier confirmed that there were indeed blank items in the bicameral report on the budget, but these had later been identified and corrected before the president signed the budget into law.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW (DAN E. NINO)

F.A.C.L.A. faces turmoil and challenges


Since I set foot in Los Angeles on February 1982 from San Jose, I heard so much about the Filipino American Community of Los Angeles or popularly known as FACLA. They had a community center along Temple Street that hosts social gatherings for our manongs and manangs (elders) where they can congregate, while away their time, to socialize, skip boredom and engage in wholesome and recreational activities like bingo socials, feeding program or to reminisce about our homeland.

Eventually, I got actively involved in our Fil-Am community as president of the Filipino-American Press Club of Los Angeles, Pangasinan Brotherhood-USA, my hometown, Association of Mangatarem Overseas Residents (AMOR) and Alpha Phi Omega of Greater Los Angeles. At some points, we also used the FACLA center for our meetings and activities.

To top it all, there was even a rental property owned and managed by FACLA officialdom on Burlington Street. My gut feeling then was FACLA was bigtime as a community association to reckon with. As president of the now-defunct Fil-Am Press Club of Los Angeles, we even sponsored a presentation and debates among candidates for president in the 1990s held at the Philippine Consulate General.

However, as time rolled by, I heard so many unsavory goings-on like in-fightings among the members and cliques of this nonprofit 501C-3 organization. Eventually, the rental property was foreclosed. Thereafter, the land where the FACLA building stands was sold to a Korean developer but was aborted then was redeemed by businesswoman Cecille Ramos. Then it was reclaimed by FACLA once again.

It was a mess wherein many players were involved.

As a backgrounder, the court-appointed receiver and interim president of FACLA Dr. Veronico “Ver” C. Agatep was sworn into office as the 30th president on Nov. 11, 2020 by then Philippine Consul General Adelio Cruz. According to my sources, Dr. Agatep was ordered by the court to conduct an election but he never did. Instead, he appointed First Vice President Trinity Paredes- Foliente to assume office as interim president. After three weeks, Dr. Agatep took his vacation to the Philippine for indefinite period. When he came back to Los Angeles early in 2024, an election was held on May 30, 2024 and removed Trini Foliente. When contacted for this piece, Foliente responded that in fact she planned to call for an election of officers after four years in November last year but was overtaken by events.

In a curious twist of event however, Ms. Foliente even organized a Christmas Party on Dec. 19 in the name of FACLA that bannered “FACLA is inviting you under the leadership of Trinity Foliente and Board of Directors at the Island Pacific Supermarket on Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles.”

A mind-boggling question comes to mind: Are there three FACLA factions now in our midst? Is FACLA under the leadership Trini Foliente an organization in exile?

In spirit of fair play, a separate article will follow to air the side of Ms. Foliente in a more detailed fashion. I advised her to schedule our sit-down interview if she feels aggrieved.

Unexpected consequences followed like the renewal of status with government agencies and tax filings were not submitted. As a result, FACLA’s status with the Attorney General of California’s Charities and Fundraisers as of this writing is hanging in the balance..

A new election took place on May 30, 2024 at FACLA Community Center declaring the presidency vacant that was attended by Dr. Agatep and about 100 members. Philippine physician Norma Aurelio Salvatera was elected as president. However, on Sept, 16, 2024, a mutiny was staged and majority of the Board of Directors ousted Salvatera allegedly “due to violations of FACLA by-laws and mishandling of FACLA finances as manifested by the mutineers and claimed that Salvatera had appointed herself as president. This however, was disputed by Salvatera.

For the last five years, FACLA was under the presidency of Austin Baul, Fernandito “Jun” Gonong, Jr., Dr. Veronico “Ver” Agatep, Trinity Paredes-Foliente on an interim capacity and Dr. Norma Aurelio Salvatera. As of this writing, Sunny Quezon who was recently elected as president by the majority of the Board is still being contested by Salvatera as the rightful president.

Since FACLA’s suspension by the state agency, Dr. Salvatera claimed that she had to open a personal bank account together with her treasurer and auditor to pay FACLA’S bills, vendors and utilities. She said in an interview that she has to take this action since FACLA is under suspension.

The objectives of FACLA which was founded on April 26, 1945 and approved by then Secretary of State of California Frank Jordan, is commendable. To wit: “To protect the interest of all Filipinos in Los Angeles; to develop its cultural and national solidarity; to improve its social, economic and educational standing; to promote a better relationship between Filipinos and Americans and other nationalities; to find solutions to problems affecting the general welfare of Filipinos; it does not contemplate pecuniary gain or profit to the members thereof; that the corporation shall have the power to promote charitable like rendering aid to its members in case of misfortune; that members shall be required to pay membership dues so that the corporation may defray any expenses incurred; that the management, operation and control of all corporate business shall be subject to the rules, regulations and by-laws of the corporation wherein regulations and by-laws shall have the usual provisions that they may be extended or altered in legal manner and at the will and desire of such members who may be duly assembled for the purpose.”

These are noble missions of FACLA. However, as the perception of many, especially when finances and disbursements are involved, problems arise. From my point of view, I rarely heard any positive vibes that emanate from FACLA.

According to the newly-elected board members who mutinied against Norma A. Salvatera, there was no proper election of FACLA officers since she appointed all the FACLA officers such as the three vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and two auditors including herself as the FACLA president in that she made all the decisions without the deliberation and approval of the Board of Directors. The manifesto was signed on Sept. 20, 2024 by 11 executive officers and board members. Two did not sign: Tess Nones and Ner Azaula.

“There was never an election since 2017,” asserted Dr. Salvatera. She added, “the 15 board of directors elected me as the president on June 6, 2024 and not a self-appointed. The result of the election was even published in a newspaper.”

The 10 grievances that were aired against Dr. Salvatera are the following:

1. Assuring the monthly payment of $3,000 to $3,500 for two maintenance personnel. This was disputed by Salvatera. She said, “There was no such agreement so it was cancelled.”

2. Issuing contracts and rental fees for customers. Salvatera’s response was, “It was approved by the Board of Directors.”

3. Salvatera allegedly borrowed money credited to the association to purchase chandeliers. Salvatera asserted, “that they were donated.”

4. Removing FACLA’S regular programs wherein the association can generate funds to pay off monthly bills, purchase supplies and pay for maintenance. Salvatera claimed, “It’s not feasible as the fees was only $200 for eight hours. That lopsided rental fees will not be enough to pay for the utilities. FACLA should be ran like a business.”

5. Compelling the treasurer and auditor to open a personal joint bank account using the money of the association. Norma’s reasoning, “FACLA’s official account cannot be opened because the restoration of its status with the California Attorney General is still pending. The association needs checks to pay government entities and other vendors and suppliers.”

6. Changing the padlocks of the main door and recently the gates of FACLA building without informing the officers and the rest of the Board of Directors. She replied, “That’s my privilege as president.”

7. Disregarding notices from the Attorney General to stop seeking donations and solicitation of funds until permits and legal papers are processed. She responded, “I did not solicit considering the current circumstances.”

8. Creating fundraising activities through popularity contest. She denied, “Miss FACLA did not go through.”

9. Personally collecting money from rental fees and not reporting it to the treasurer and Board of Directors. She explained, “The money collected was only $2,000 and the amount was disbursed to purchase FACLA’s fixtures and equipment and upgrading of the toilets.”

10. Creating and entertaining gossips about members of the board. She denied, “This is a conspiracy theory among two past officers.”

With the prevailing situation now in FACLA, the public is now in a sort of limbo.

There are reports of physical assaults and counter assaults, accusations and counter accusations, restraining orders and counter-restraining orders, lawsuits and counter-lawsuits. This is a never-ending saga, tug-of-war and drama. Some respected members of our Fil-Am community even recommend the closure of FACLA to stop this madness. I liken these squabbles to the Philippine revolution against Spain and American colonizers among the factions of Magdalo and Magdiwang or between Katipunan Supremo Andres Bonifacio and Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo.

With this declaration by the mutineers, Salvatera insisted, “With this defamation and false accusations, I should have been given 30 days to respond to their allegations and given due process of law for removing me as president.” She also claimed that the FACLA vice presidents who are allies of Sunny Quezon are now under restraining order.

However, the mutineers insisted that they go by the by-laws to remove a current president anytime.

On Sept. 28 this year, Dr. Salvatera invited guests and public officials to celebrate the 79th foundation anniversary of FACLA. However, the building was padlocked by the supporters of Sunny Quezon. “My days are numbered but I want to straighten out FACLA. I’m willing to leave FACLA if everything is in order. I fought against the demolition of FACLA building whose equity is now worth an estimated $8 million. “As a president of FACLA, you should have integrity and dignity,” she said as a matter-of-factly. – [email protected]

Associations were strongest for cardiometabolic conditions such as hypertensions (23% and 28% lower risks over six years with weekend warrior and regular exercise, respectively).

“There is no medical therapy more effective for the most common illnesses, including heart disease, than exercise,” said David Brownstein, M.D., author of the newsletter, “ Dr. David Brownstein Natural Way to Health.”

“This study proves that even if you can’t exercise daily (due to busy schedules), making time on the weekends will provide marked health benefits,” explained Dr. Brownstein. (Source: HEALTHY LIVING: Health Insider, NEWSMAX, January, 2025, page 88)
