It's official, the IBON Foundation recently noted that Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) is now the Philippine President that borrowed the most among the seven Presidents after the first EDSA Revolution in 1986, or the Philippine President that borrowed the most in the last four Decades.

This despite being only four Years into office and still has two more Years to go. BBM had already borrowed ₱9.7 trillion, which is more than the ₱9.4 trillion borrowed by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Note though that during Duterte's last Years in office, from 2020 to 2022 was under the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) Pandemic which necessitated such borrowings. The IBON Foundation also noted that despite such borrowing by the current Administration, much of it were lost due to Corruption.

The Bilyonaryo News Channel said that around ₱200 billion per Year is lost due to corruption in the Bureau of Customs (BOC) while another ₱500 billion per Year is lost due to the same in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).

Ultimately the Department of Finance itself admitted that up to a total of ₱1.4 trillion per Year is lost due to Corruption.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has allowed the trial of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to proceed on charges of crimes against humanity.

The case is linked to his controversial anti-drug campaign, during which thousands of deaths have been reported according to different sources. While Philippine authorities cite lower numbers, human rights organizations estimate significantly higher casualties.

ICC judges stated that there are reasonable grounds to believe that a systematic policy of extrajudicial killings may have been implemented during his administration.

Duterte denies all allegations, calling them unproven and politically motivated, and continues to challenge the court’s jurisdiction.

The decision is being seen as a historic step for international justice, raising questions about accountability for powerful global leaders.
