Well, Hello Rissa!
Its been a while since we last heard of Senator Risa
Hontiveros. She has not done much talking on matters that the Duterte administration
is doing an that’s what we all thought…
The Department of Justice Vitaliano Aguirre II flexes his muscles after the honorable senator Risa Hontiveros has asked
for his resignation as Justice secretary and has even called him a “manufacturer
of fake news” and “cook of fake cases”.

The Justice
Secretary has made it public that she would be filing a libel case against Risa
Hontiveros.
“Hindi na
kailangan pag-aralan (referring to the filing of a complaint for libel). Very
clear na defamatory. I saw and heard what she said,” Aguirre said, adding that
the complaint would be filed “very soon".
“You could see
libel cases filed against her,” Aguirre added.
Senator
Hontiveros , in a prepared statement , said Aguirre is a manufacturer and
peddler of fake news.
Hontiveros also called him “cook of fake cases and now, a
reliable friend of criminal masterminds, extrajudicial killers and drug lords”
after the Department of Justice (DOJ) dismissed the drug complaint filed
against businessman Peter Lim, self-confessed drug lord Kerwin Espinosa, and
several others and allowed the provisional admission of pork barrel scam queen
Janet Lim-Napoles to the Witness Protection Program (WPP).
Last year, Aguirre filed filed a criminal complaint for violation of Republic Act NO. 4200 or the
Anti-Wire Tapping Act against Hontiveros, et al., before the Office of the City Prosecutor of
Pasay City.
The DOJ Secretary
has also filed complaints for wiretapping stemming from Hontiveros’ privilege
speech on Sept. 11, 2017 after she disclosed that she discovered a plot by the
DOJ chief and former Negros Oriental Rep. Jacinto “Jing” Paras to file a case
against her. *
Hontiveros
presented a printed photo of what she claimed as the exchanged of text messages
between Secretary Aguirre and Rep. Jacinto “Jing” Paras which she added was accidentally caught
on camera by a journalist at a Senate hearing on the killing by members of the
Caloocan police of Kian Loyd Delos Santos.
Aguirre has
insisted the lady senator has violated his right to privacy when she showed to
the public the contents of said text messages. An ethics complaint was also
filed before the Senate Ethics Committee in relation to making public the test messages
with Paras.
In his
complaint’s prayer, the DOJ Secretary wanted Hontiveros either suspended or
expelled from the Senate noting that the senator and a photographer, whom she
refused to name, conspired to take a photo of his supposed text conversation.
