Miriam's Sister Slams Lacierda On His Comments About Pres. Duterte's Case at the ICC

International law expert and sister of the late Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, Paula Defensor-Knack slams former presidential spokesperson during the Aquino admin, Edwin Lacierda on his comments about the case filed by the group of Atty. Sabio at the International Criminal Court.


Paula Defensor-Knack schooled Edwin Lacierda about international law after the former spokesman openly shared his support on social media as he commended the efforts made by some anti-Duterte forces. 

The former Presidential spokesperson of PNoy tweeted the following message on social media "PH is now in the league w/ some African nations where crimes vs. humanity have been filed. To #ProsecuteDuterte is to see if truth will out."

Edwin Lacierda and some Anti-Duterte supporters compared the ICC case filed against Pres. Duterte to the case filed to the ICC against the Mexican government on their war against drug cartels. 

Paula Knack responded by sharing an insights on her Facebook Page: 

"Nalullungkot ako na napakaligaya ni Lacierda sa pagfile ng complaint ni Sabio sa ICC. HINDI ATA ALAM ni Lacierda na ang drug war ng Mexico ay hindi crime against humanity ayon sa Prosecutor ng ICC na si Moreno na ngayon nagtuturo sa Harvard. So LACIERDA, EAT YOUR HEART OUT BECAUSE YOU DONT LIVE AT THE HAGUE. WE DO & WE KNOW INTL. CRIMINAL LAW VERY WELL."

If you visit one of KFC's KPRO restaurants in Hangzhou, China, you can pay for your panini or salad by smiling at a camera-equipped kiosk -- you need to verify the purchase on your phone, but you don't have to punch in digits or bring your phone up to an NFC reader. The system (Smile to Pay) is purportedly resistant to spoofing with photos and other tricks. It relies on both depth-sensing cameras and a "likeness detection algorithm" to make sure it's really you. Reportedly, the technology is good enough that it can accurately identify people even when they're disguising themselves through makeup or wigs. You shouldn't have to worry about someone buying ...
