Sa palagay niyo makukulong kaya ang pambansang aso na si Markubeta?

Tag ulan na naman, wla paring concrete na result kong sino ang mastermind.

NABUDOL DAW SILA NI BBM? Pag tinatanong ko ang mga DDS friends ko kung bakit nila ibinoto si BBM, iisa ang sagot nila. “Nabudol kami ni Marcos”. Well, “nabudol” is just a nicer way to “na-uto”. In other words, aminado sila na nagpa-uto sila. But that is not an acceptable excuse. Sa isang democratic system, meron kang right to choose. Pero kasabay nyan ang responsibility sa pinili mo. Hindi puwedeng kapag maganda ang resulta, sayo ang credit. Pero kapag pumalpak, sasabihin mo lang na nabudol or na-uto ka. Ang totoo, gumawa kayo ng desisyon. Paulit-ulit naming sinubukang ipaliwanag noon. Naglatag kami ng facts. Nagkuwento kami ng history. Nagbigay kami ng mga warnings. Minsan mahinahon, minsan may halong sarcasm, at minsan nauwi pa...

PS: Wala akong kulay sadyang nakakatanga kase yung mga nakikita ko halatang merong mali e.

Di ko na kayang sikmurain pa mga crocs ng pinas

Wag magpapasakop sa mga dayuhan! May sarili tayong Justice System! Pero itong mga DDS ayaw ipadala sa ICC si Bato Dela Rosa pero ayaw din naman litisin sa sariling bansa natin at ayaw ng mga DDS ang Impeachment trial ni Sara Duterte kung totoong wala syang sala bakit ayaw ng mga DDS ituloy ang proseso ng Impeachment kung gumagama Justice System sa bansa natin? Isa lang gusto ng mga DDS! ang protektahan ang mga politikong ito! KUNG WALANG NAGAWANG KASALANAN, HARAPIN ANG KASO! Reason ng mga DDS: Magiging Bias kung dito sa bansa natin, Lol International Court yung ICC walang bias dun.. lahat ng mga iba't ibang bansa nagsasama sama at nililitis ang isang tao kung ano ang nararapat. Kung walang sapat na ebidensya at kayang harapin nila...

The Philippines has reached a new economic milestone after being classified as an upper-middle income country, a development that reflects the nation's steady economic growth in recent years. The achievement highlights the country's improving economic performance and signals greater opportunities for investment, business expansion, and long-term development. The classification is based on the country's Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, a measure used by the World Bank to group economies according to average income levels. By reaching the required threshold, the Philippines joins other nations recognized as having higher average incomes than lower-middle income economies. Government officials welcomed the announcement, describing...

oh ’di ba? hindi ko naman kinamatay nung nag-call out ako kay sen. risa hontiveros kahit matagal na akong supporter niya.. ang dali lang pala no? ngayon kayo naman kaya niyo bang gawin ’yan sa mga duterte? kaya niyo silang icall-out tungkol sa libo-libong namatay sa drug war, sa ICC investigation, sa confidential funds, sa mga issue ng political dynasty, at sa mga paulit-ulit na contradictory statements? sa mga marcos? sa historical revisionism, sa corruption cases at ill-gotten wealth rulings involving the family, sa accountability, sa inflation, at sa mga pangakong hanggang campaign lang? kay alan peter cayetano? sa budget controversies, sa SEA Games issues na naging usap-usapan dati, at sa mga pagkakataong tahimik kapag hindi...

Curious lang kung ano yung pinanghahawakan niyo until now at bakit sinasamba niyo parin ang mga Duterte?

I wrote one for current president Marcos, and my current queue is 1. Duterte Admin and ICC investigation megathread 2. Sara Duterte's 4-year administration issue recap + Impeachment Status and timeline 3. Flood Control Issue recap Which senators do you believe deserve the most to have their issues listed down? If anyone wants to contribute, feel free to do so. And if you want to change the order, just reply below

Marcos Jr. and his failures within the last 4 years of being president || Megathread ----- This is a working thread. Feel free to respond with criticism, corrections, and any additional discussions If there are any political figures that you would like to have a similar discussion about, please feel free to either respon to this thread or message me with evidences of their wrongdoings musicacc727727 Historian by profession, an activist for the betterment of the Nation ----- Philippine politics has recently taken a stir, with social media flooded with practically very limited narratives exploring what currently is perhaps the most disorganized government the Philippines ever had. This thread aims to reflect what had led to this...

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

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...

* I am not here to shame anyone, but rather wish to provide insight on one argument thrown at me. "You can hold your own beliefs, just as we hold ours. If you believe that this specific family is evil, while we believe the true evil lies elsewhere, then what is the purpose of our discussion?" The answer to this is simple: the discussion is pointless. If you admit that you don't want to listen, that you don't even wish to know or consider the facts presented to you, then it js indeed, without purpose. But don't we think that this thinking is just incorrect? Shouldn't we be considerate of the facts presented to us? It's Iike asking for attorneys in a courthouse with you being a judge already banging your gavel. What are your...

para sa mga DDS

At bakit nahihirapan ang gov na mahuli sya?

Uniteam all the way! Hahahahaha dismayado ba kayo sa mga nangyari? Nagging karton si Digong. May impeachment si Sara. Nagtatago si Bato.

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?

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...
