ON MY WATCH
By MANUEL L. CABALLERO
"OMW" SEES BIDEN AS DEBATE WINNER; FORMER SEN. DE LIMA REVEALS PLANS AFTER WINNING CASES; PIDCI AND PAFCOM DID IT AGAIN FOR LOVE OF NATIVE COUNTRY
"On My Watch" (OMW) closely monitored the presidential debate tonight.
OMW picks Pres. Biden as the winner.
The debate should be judged not by how the words were said, but by what words were uttered. Were the words factual or mostly lies and exaggerations? Never mind if the voice was husky as long as the words were truthful.
Former Pres. Trump engaged in "sweeping generalizations", most of which, I believe are lies and self-centered. Some national media commentators felt the same way I did.
My university English professor used to say that sweeping generalizations are unproductive and mere propagandas.That it is dangerous. In modern times, disinformation.
If Mr. Trump's claims against Mr. Biden were true, the incumbent US president would have been worse than PH former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte.
To us, former president Trump sounded like a Duterte troll, at times, during the debate.
As the "Washington Post" observed, Mr. Trump deflected the questions. He evaded answering almost every question by talking about another subject.

In an interview with Rappler after her acquittal from all charges, former Sen. Leila de Lima revealed four things:
1. She has no plans to run for public office in the 2025 elections.
2. She will assist ICC in its crime against humanity case vs. Duterte and company. She will also assist in running after those who commit human rights abuses under the BBM administration.
3. She has forgiven those who prosecuted her except Duterte.
4. For complete vindication, she will file charges against those who wrongly and falsely prosecuted her, including former pres. Duterte.

Congratulations to Arman David and company of PIDCI and Maricar Taino and fellow PAFCOM officers for another year of successful PH Independence events in NY and NJ.
The 3rd wave of Filipino diaspora has taken over the leadership from the 2nd wavers.
Speaking of parade and Independence, I wish to cite an observation. J Ariel Q Aggabao and
Amira Allahh , parade announcers in NJ last Sunday, did a good job together. They should always be together. They can't be independent of each other.

Again, former Pres. Rodrigo Duterte was proven wrong and perhaps, simply vengeful, with the acquittal of former Sen. De Lima of all charges brought against her 7 years ago when Duterte was chief executive. One by one, the wrong and irresponsible acts and decisions during the Duterte administration are being reversed or voided.
