Opinion: On Justice in the Philippines and Trump Camp Campaign Tactics By Manuel L. Caballero


ON MY WATCH

By MANUEL L. CABALLERO


ALICE GUO'S DISMISSAL AS TOWN MAYOR SHOWS JUSTICE IN THE PH CAN BE SWIFT; IN THE CASE OF FORMER SENATOR DELIMA,THE DUTERTE  BRAND OF INJUSTICE TOOK 7 YEARS TO END; IS TRUMP CAMP  DEVELOPING LIKE THE 2016 AND 2022  ELECTION CAMPAIGNS IN THE NATIVE COUNTRY DOMINATED BY FAKE NEWS, DISINFORMATION AND TROLLS?


The fast action by the constitutional anti-graft court Ombudsman in the PH removing Alice Guo as mayor of Bamban for her involvement in the illegal activities of POGO in her hometown shows that justice can be swift in the native country. The lady ex-mayor is facing more charges from four different offices of government for alleged varied illegal acts.


All of the above were unearthed by the Senate committee investigation headed by Senator Risa Hontiveros.

There are indications that the Trump campaign maybe resorting to fake news and disinformation?


A week ago, I read a Facebook post saying Pres.  Biden "will return to the political ring. "Lol!


Few days ago, speaking about the rally of Kamala Harris in Detroit attended by 15,000 HARRIS -WALZ supporters, Mr. Trump claimed the audience was created by AI? Hehe. See the photo below. This was done by the BBM campaign in 2021 by using photo of a big crowd in Malaysia in red shirts in a rally photo held in Mindanao.


Stories aimed at demolishing Vp Harris have started to circulate in social media. 


Hopefully, America's election campaign will stay at decent and democratic levels.
