March 5, 2026 Episode

ABOGADO with Atty. Karen Jimeno and Atty. Mike Toledo – where legal minds meet, tough questions get real answers, and perspectives are challenged. No filters, no compromises—just the law, the issues, and the truth. The legal showdown begins — only on BNC.

We turn to a conflict far from our shores, but one that raises serious questions under international law. Missiles have flown, airstrikes have followed, and nations are invoking the right of self-defense.

In this episode, we ask: Is the Middle East military escalation legal under international law?

Joining us are two distinguished legal experts:

• Atty. DJ Jimenez, the Pinoy Street Lawyer — trial lawyer, educator, and recipient of the 2023 Gawad Manilenyo sa Larangan ng Kasanayan sa Batas. He holds advanced legal degrees from UST Graduate School of Law and completed a summer program in Global Lawyering and U.S. Law at Fordham Law School.

• Atty. Enrique “Buko” Dela Cruz Jr., consultant at Divina Law, Dean of Baliuag University College of Law, and expert in constitutional and public international law. He holds a Master of Laws in International and Comparative Business Law from London Metropolitan University as a Chevening Scholar.

Watch as they break down the legal frameworks, the rights of nations, and the implications of military actions in the Middle East.
