DDS Blogger Seeks Marcos’ Forgiveness After “Headshot” Controversy

MANILA — A blogger identified as Mike Romero, known for his support of the Duterte administration (DDS), has publicly apologized to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. after being arrested for posting a controversial image online.

The photo, which depicted the President with a drawn arrow on his head and the caption “Headshot,” went viral and prompted swift action from authorities. Romero was apprehended by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and now faces charges of inciting to sedition under Article 142 of the Revised Penal Code, in connection with Republic Act No. 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.

In a statement following his arrest, Romero expressed deep remorse, describing President Marcos Jr. as “a great leader” and asking for forgiveness for what he called a lapse in judgment.

If convicted, Romero could face a prison sentence of up to 20 years. The NBI emphasized that the case serves as a reminder that online expression carries accountability under Philippine law, especially when it threatens or disrespects public officials.

Estrada to File Perjury Charges Against Former Engineer Over “Fabricated” Kickback Claims

MANILA, Philippines — Senator Jinggoy Estrada announced plans to file a perjury complaint against former Bulacan assistant district engineer Brice Ericson Hernandez over what he described as “imaginary and made-up” accusations linking him to alleged anomalies in government infrastructure projects.

In a statement released Monday, Estrada’s office confirmed that the senator will formally lodge the case before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office on Tuesday, October 7.

The move comes after Hernandez testified during a House of Representatives hearing on September 8, claiming that Estrada had allocated ₱355 million in the 2025 national budget for flood control projects in Bulacan. Hernandez further alleged that the senator received 30 percent of the total amount as a “standard operating procedure” or kickback.

Estrada strongly denied the allegations, calling them “baseless, malicious, and completely fabricated.” He maintained that he has never been involved in any form of corruption, labeling Hernandez’s statements as “a desperate attempt to malign my name and reputation.”

The senator also reiterated his challenge for both parties to undergo a lie-detector test to prove who is telling the truth.

“If he is confident with his accusations, then he should agree to a polygraph test. I am willing to take one myself,” Estrada declared.

The controversy adds to the growing tension in ongoing legislative inquiries into alleged irregularities in infrastructure funding. Estrada’s legal action marks the latest move in his effort to clear his name and hold his accuser accountable.
