Sila sila rin ang tumira jan, kaya naungkat din yung Ninja Cops dahil jan nagumpisa, baka marami pa syang nalalaman kaya tinumba na!

Dadalawin niya sila Tatay Digong and Faeldon👻

His body language and actions during that hearing says he’s guilty. His being gunned down confirms it. Now the question is, who benefits most from his death? The answer points to the mastermind of this murder.

I will never understand people taking money from Duterte and Faeldon.

Fingers points at faeldon and digong. This lawyer knew too much info if not part of the NBP syndicate.

Who runs a death squad?

Faeldon sacred cow ni pdutz. Corrupt to the bones!

😔

Sino pa nagpapatay dyan kundi si Katay Digong.
