sign a ready-made affidavit maligning President Rodrigo Duterte.;

Convent in Quezon City for two weeks;

Fr. Albert Alejo, lawyer Jude Sabio and a certain Sister Ling of the Cannussian
Sisters convent in the charge sheet along with several John and Jane Does;
&
- the sworn statement against the Duterte family she
