MONEY and power talk, much more on the issue of missing sabungeros or cockfight aficionados.
No less than Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla has raised the caution that the mastermind in cases of missing sabungeros has both.
So sad that even a justice secretary has his hands tied. How come that he knows something and someone but could not work his way to bring justice to at least 100 missing cockfight aficionados.
To think that he knows that a female show business celebrity is privy about the disappearances.
How come that a Justice secretary has apprehensions that the department he is handling may be compromised?
Remulla is afraid of this “heavyweight,” an untouchable?
Flexing his might was his usual self. However, it baffles us that Remulla is as meek like a lamb.
Hmmmm, there is something wrong.

The ceasefire between Iran and Israel has benefited immigrants and foreigners, including Filipinos.
Hence, the call for a downgrade in the alert level by the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv for Filipinos in Israel is a timely move.

China is getting into the nerves of the Group of Seven (G7).
Beijing’s “intimidation activities” include incessant and dangerous maneuvers and the usage of water cannons against Filipino vessels.
The so-called leaders of the powerful economic bloc condemns China’s “unilateral attempt to change the status quo by force or coercion.”
The high seas include the freedom of navigation.
China cannot insist any claim belonging to the Philippines’ sovereign right.
