[ALERT] TOTOO BA ITO? GAGAWIN NA LANG “DE FACTO DISMISSED” ANG IMPEACHMENT CASE NI VP SARA?!

🛑 [ALERT] NEWS UPDATES!  Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang impeachment trial, may balitang kumakalat na may draft resolution na iniikot sa Senado para sabihing “dismissed na” ang kaso laban kay VP Sara Duterte. Wait… Teka lang. Paanong dismissed, eh hindi pa nga pinapakinggan? Walang trial. Walang ebidensya. Walang depensa. Walang proseso. 🤯 Eto ang mas nakakabahala: ✅ Na-transmit ang Articles of Impeachment noong Feb 5 ❌ Hindi ito ang last day ng session sa legislative calendar! ✅ Puwede pang magkaroon ng session noong Feb 6 at 7 So bakit hindi nila inaksyunan noon pa? Ngayon, lagpas 100 days na, biglang may move na burahin na lang ang kaso — as if wala tayong nakitang mali? As if walang accountability? 🚨 This is not just legal manipulation — this is political erasure. Kung magagawa ito ngayon, pwedeng gawin ulit bukas. Isang bagong taktika para takasan ang pananagutan: delay, deadma, dismiss. This isn’t just about VP Sara. This is about every Filipino na umaasa sa husti...
