Kain suka talaga mga kakampwet? Kanina lang, ang daming posts ng mga Kakampwet/Yellowtard na puno ng galit at "exposé" kay Sen. Chiz Escudero at Sen. Joel Villanueva. Ang lalakas ng boses nila tungkol sa flood control projects at yung kaso nila. "Corrupt!" "Inutil!" " accountable dapat!" paulit-ulit. Tapos biglang sumanib sila sa ibang bloc... Bigla ding nawala yung galit. Biglang "matalino si Chiz!" "Magaling si Joel sa oversight!" "Proud kami sa kanila!" HA! Kain suka oh. Yung mga kritiko kanina, biglang praise pa. Parang walang nangyari. At kapag napawalang kaso 'yung dalawa sa Ombudsman? Alam na natin yan. Classic. Sumama ka sa kanila, mawawala ang kaso mo. Hindi na flood control issue, hindi na kaso. Naging "statesman" na...

The Philippine public has seen this tactic before. When a political group faces serious accountability, it doesn’t wait quietly. Instead, it creates a dramatic scene, adding characters and catchy labels to distract from the truth. The so-called "18 ex-Marines" claiming they delivered suitcases of cash worth 805 billion pesos in kickbacks are the latest, obvious example of this play. Let’s be clear. The affidavits these 18 individuals submitted to the Ombudsman are not real whistleblowing. They are part of a political strategy aimed at diverting attention from Vice President Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial. The timing is telling. For years, investigations into flood-control projects with ghost deliveries and shoddy construction were...

Note: This was a reply in one of the discussions here, but I think it's worth sharing as an entire discussion Don't you think we, as Filipino citizens, can't do better than this? Palagi na lang tayo magse-settle sa lesser evil? Yes, madumi ang politika sa lahat ng bansa, but the Philippines is among the most corrupt countries; 125 Million is still no joke, especially for a (sorry for the European effect) country considered third-world. Hindi dahil nakasanayan ay hindi na mababago. Devils always start small, kahit pa sabihin mong lesser evil, keyword is still evil. Masama pa rin. And really, do you think these corrupt politicians, especially those that took trillions (say, the Villars and the Marcoses), really start as the devil...

Anong masasabi niyo sa 18 marines witness? Legit ba or scripted talaga?

Random question lang about sa 18 ex-marine? Haha naniniwala ba kayo sa mga proof nila yung mga picture lang na nasa labas or mga picture with the person na involve sa maleta. kase kung gagamitin mo yung common sense hindi solid yung evidence kung nagpapicture lang or napicturan lang sa labas diba? meron pading maiiwang tanong sayo e. PS: Wala akong kulay sadyang nakakatanga kase yung mga nakikita ko halatang merong mali e.

para sa mga DDS

Mananalo pa kaya sila next election?

* Ito ang bago at mainit-init na balita ngayon * Aabangan ng lahat ! A criminal charge of Usurpation of Authority under Article 177 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC) against the 12-senator bloc depends entirely on whether the Supreme Court ultimately rules their June 3, 2026, session was constitutional. Former Senator Panfilo Lacson and various legal analysts have noted that if the 12 senators acted without a lawful quorum, executing official acts like reorganizing committees or conducting minority-led "hearings" constitutes a crime punishable by prision correccional (imprisonment up to 4 years and 2 months). An analysis of how Article 177 applies to this Senate impasse reveals two clashing perspectives: Dalawang Option lang ang...

Nangyari naman na pala talaga yung 12 quorum dati pa, andun pa nga si Alan Peter Cayetano ehh. Bakit di nya parin matanggap? - GMA NEWS

The legality of the "New Majority" bloc's takeover under the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines is heavily disputed, presenting a massive constitutional dilemma with no definitive consensus. While Malacañang and the Executive branch have officially recognized Acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian's leadership, constitutional experts and senators are deeply divided into two camps: [1, 2, 3, 4] Under the principle of checks and balances, the Executive branch (the President/Malacañang) does not have the power to validate or invalidate the internal organization of the Legislature (the Senate) [1]. Only the Supreme Court of the Philippines has the ultimate judicial power to interpret the Constitution and declare an action null and...

Para maintindihan natin, hindi ito simpleng “drama” o pag-iinarte. May mas malalim na dahilan ito. Ang issue ngayon: may tulak na baguhin o i-interpret ang rules para payagan ang online o remote voting ng senador kahit wala siya physically present, lalo na kaugnay ng impeachment trial ni VP Sara Duterte at sa sitwasyon ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa. Bakit kontrobersyal ito? Kasi ang botohan sa Senado, lalo na sa impeachment, hindi basta Zoom meeting lang. Malaking bagay ang presence, deliberation, at accountability. Kapag pinayagan ang isang senador na bumoto online habang hindi siya humaharap o wala sa session hall, nagkakaroon ng tanong: patas ba ito? legal ba ito? at ginagawa ba ito para sa rules, o para lang maisalba ang boto ng...

Kung unfair ang korte natin kaya sa ICC kinasuhan si Digong at Bato, bakit si Delima at Trillanes dito sinampahan ng kaso, nkaupong Senador din sila noon?

Kala ko ba magkalaban sila dati pero bakit ngayun nakipag sanib pwersa si nanay leni kay marcos ?

Respect isn't something you claim — it's something you build. The majority bloc seems to have forgotten that fundamental truth. Holding the numbers doesn't automatically hand you the moral authority, and the recent Senate session made that painfully clear. Imee Marcos stood at the podium and aired a video that falsely painted the minority bloc as conspirators scheming to oust SP Cayetano through Charter change. It was arguably the most misleading piece of media ever screened inside the Senate chamber — and the minority's response only made her look worse by comparison. Instead of firing back with theatrics, the minority senators took the high road. Zubiri cited specific Senate rules (93–95) that the video violated and called for its...

Q: kaya bang litisin ang kasong Crime Against Humanity sa Pilipinas? Just wanna ask for your thoughts mweheheh cant sleep kasi ako

Since gustong panagutin ng Duterte Bloc ang mga tao at mga politikong sangkot sa maanomalyang Flood Control Project, bakit ayaw nilang talakayin ito noong administrasyong Duterte? Maalala lang din natin na ang daming tinumbang tao ni Duterte; pinipili niya yung mga di sikat na personality para may plausible deniability. Look up all the dead mayors, lawyers, activists etc. in his administration. Sikat lang sila Leni Trillanes De Lima etc. kaya di nila mapatay. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1440330/politically-motivated-andaya-says-of-ambush-attempt-pullout-of-security-detail https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/iq/list-drug-war-activists-journalists-lawyers-government-officials-killed-duterte-administration/...

Hayss! Di na makapag-function ng maayos ang Senado, puro gulo na lang. Sino pa paniniwalaan natin?

Anong masasabi niyo kay Airbender? What if totoo? What if lang naman. Paldo paldo, may viva MAX contract maleta na nga, may fineshyt pa

The Senate Majority is a no-show for the second consecutive day, preventing the session from convening. Senator Migz Zubiri said Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano told Senate Secretary Jose Luis Montales that the Senate Majority is not coming to the session hall. Ito yung Powerhouse na Senate Majority na ipinagmamalaki ng mga DDS, mga senador na mga BATUGAN, inuuna ang POLITIKA at PANG-SARILING INTEREST dahil sila raw dapat ang PAGSILBIHAN NG TAONG BAYAN. Dahil sa kanila, walang maipropose at magawang batas ang Senado natin ngayon.

It means the hearings conducted today by APC and his cohorts are unofficial and off the record. Expect na natin na walang kuwenta at puro tae lang ang ibabato nila sa loob ng Senate laban sa bagong majority at walang progress na mangyayari.

hindi na 'to basta kulay pula, berde, rosas o dilaw. imbes na magalit kayo sa mga nagsisilbing hindi para sa pilipino eh nagtuturuan kayo kung sino ang tama at mali, sino ang dapat unahin at sino dapat ang huli, at kung ano ang masusunod sa hindi. iba't iba tayo ng interpretasyon sa mga nangyayari at natural lamang na ipaglaban natin kung saan yung nakikita nating tama, ang hindi tama ay ang hindi mo pagkinig sa mga sumasalungat sa iyo o kaya ang hindi mo pagbukas ng mata mo sa mga punto ng mga kumakalaban sa partido mo. hindi mo dapat ipagtanggol ang isang taong gumawa rin ng kinaiinis at ikinagagalit mo. galit ka sa pula dahil sila ay naituturo sa flood control issue pero hindi sa berde kahit nakikita mong naituturo sila sa...

I believe na palala ng palala ang politics sa bansa. Dati its a numbers game. If majority ka wala na halos boses and minority. Ngayon if minority ka nagagawan ng paraan para maging majority ka in some form or ways. nakikita ko na parang anlala ng pansariling interest ng mga politiko. Wala talaga nagagawa na mabuti para sa bayan. I hope that Filipino will wake up na makapag halal ng mga karapat dapat na magsisilbi para sa ating mga mamamayan. mabawasan ang pahirap sa atin

Naisip ko lang mga boss. dito mga lods. 🤔 Hidden content Open for all! ❤️
