‘No broken promise’: Palace says Duterte never met with Laude family
“Unlike iyong iba kong kliyente, for instance iyong mga kliyente ng Maguindanao Massacre, hindi po na-meet ni Mrs. Laude ang ating presidente,” Harry Roque said.
“Unlike iyong iba kong kliyente, for instance iyong mga kliyente ng Maguindanao Massacre, hindi po na-meet ni Mrs. Laude ang ating presidente,” Harry Roque said.
“The President and I share the same deep conviction on major policy issues affecting the country, such as charting an independent foreign policy course and zero tolerance against corruption,” he wrote in a statement released on his personal Facebook page.
The CHR said “Pemberton’s express pardon exhibited double standards, lack of fairness, and the absence of empathy for the LGBTQIA+ community.”
“You have not treated Pemberton fairly, so i-release ko. Pardon. Ang pardon, walang mga question ‘yan,” Duterte said in a televised address.
“What do you mean by ‘absolute pardon?’ Ibig sabihin, makalalaya na si Pemberton. Wala na pong issue kung siya ba ay entitled sa GCTA (good conduct time allowance). Binura na po ng presidente ang kung ano pa ang parusa na dapat ipapataw kay Pemberton” Palace spokesman Harry Roque said.
