“The Dutertes are not a genuine opposition. The Dutertes do not have the ascendancy to talk about human rights, when thousands were killed under [Rodrigo] Duterte’s administration. They are also hypocrites to stand against Charter Change because they were the ones pushing it during their term."
The case against the Talaingod 18 is set for a decision on July 15 under Judge Jimmy Boco of Tagum City Regional Trial Court, Branch 2.
“We will push through and we are ready to march and protest on July 22, rain or shine, regardless if it is a workday or not, if there is internet jamming or none."
