Gov’t to go bankrupt, Filipinos to go hungrier By Jarius Bondoc Politicos and bureaucrats misspend trillions of pesos each year. At the rate they’re going, they’ll bankrupt the government. In 2024 they budgeted P5.768 trillion. Short of revenues by 42.65 percent, they borrowed P2.46 trillion. This 2025 they budgeted P6.326 trillion. Again short by 40.23 percent, they’ll borrow P2.545 trillion. Imagine a family spending P6,326 every week, but having to loan two-fifths of it, or P2,545. It would soon keel over. By yearend total public debt, including past admins, will be P17.353 trillion. It will overshoot P20 trillion by the time President Bongbong Marcos steps down in 2028. How will poor, hungry, undereducated Filipinos repay...
Saan yung Legal Basis?
BATO: FAILURE TO PROTECT CITIZENS FROM ICC, INTERPOL IS IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE Sen. Bato Dela Rosa said a president's failure to protect citizens from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) constitutes an impeachable offense. In a DWIZ radio interview on Saturday, January 25, Dela Rosa was asked whether he believed the government would shield him amid the ICC's investigation into the Duterte administration's war on drugs, which he led as the first Philippine National Police chief under then-President Rodrigo Duterte. "Well, it is the duty of the government to protect its citizens. Duty ng gobyerno 'yan. At kapag iyan ay pababayaan ng ating gobyerno, particularly ng chief...
ICC Ulit...
RUNNING IN CIRCLES Every time this administration is cornered with allegations backed by damning evidence, the palace’s PR team rolls out the same tired ICC narrative. How unimaginative! Can’t they come up with something more creative? Former President Duterte has long been waiting for the ICC to act; frankly, he's getting bored. It’s just the Bicam Committee Report, yet you're moving heaven and earth to defend yourselves! And why are the gods of the House of Representatives so silent? Why did the President refute FPRRD's allegations? And why is the ES so defensive? You’re just running in circles. Allegations? ICC. Corruption issues? ICC. Accountability? Impeach Sara Duterte. How long will you continue using this family as your...
How Do You Know that You Are Chosen?
How Do You Know that You Are Chosen? Bible Verses Gen 25:23 "And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your womb... and the one people shall be stronger than the other people. And the older shall serve the younger." Romans 9:11 "Though the children had not yet been born nor had done anything good or bad (that the purpose of God according to selection might remain, not of works but of Him who calls), (12) It was said to her, "The greater shall serve the less".... Words of Ministry In Jacob, we see God's selection, the matter of Jacob's being chosen. Do you believe that you have been chosen? I would still ask this question: how do we know from our experience that we have been chosen by God? We know it by the fact that we cannot...
Sinungaling
Risa Hontiveros is an absolute LIAR when it comes to the Ratio Legis - or the purpose of the law. Notice how she keeps on saying that there are "no provisions in the bill" that includes the word masturb@tion or experimenting with different sexualities, and all the things that the original petition called out. That is not the problem. The problem (at least for her now) is how people are catching up to her schemes - 1... They pass a bill - seemingly safe with good intentions 2... The bill in itself does not have provisions and mechanisms yet 3... Once the bill passes, they will use the references attached and cited in the bill, as a working guideline to implement it. Hence they actually won't put everything yet into the bill -...
The Prevention of Adolescent *******cy Act: A Deep Dive into the Debate
The Philippines is grappling with a significant issue: a high rate of teenage *******cies. In response, legislators have proposed the "Prevention of Adolescent *******cy Act," also known as Senate Bill No. 1979 (SB 1979), and a subsequent substitute bill, aiming to tackle this complex problem through comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) and related measures. However, the bill has sparked intense debate, with strong opinions on both sides. This post dives into the details of the bill, the controversies surrounding it, and the efforts to reconcile differing viewpoints. The Core Problem: Why is the Bill Needed? High Rates of Teenage *******cy: The Philippines faces a concerning rate of adolescent *******cies, with almost four out...

Taray By Chiz
Mga beshies, eto na naman si Senate President Francis "Chiz Wiz" Escudero, ang hari ng explanation na parang pang-Law 101, pero sa totoong buhay ay parang episode ng Bawal Judgmental! Tara't pag-usapan natin ang kanyang mga pasabog na argumento na mas nakakalito pa sa instructions ng IKEA furniture. Here’s what’s wrong with what Senate President Chiz Escudero said, broken down point by point: 1.) Authorized to "Make Corrections or Add Details"? Escudero claims that the Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance can “make corrections or add details” to the bicameral report. Wait lang, Mars! Since when did “adding details” after bicam approval become acceptable? That’s not “ensuring accuracy,” that’s rewriting the...
Gobyerno dapat ang sisihin kung bakit MISERABLE ang mga buhay natin
Ano nga ba ang ugat at puno't dulo bakit tayo may mga miserableng buhay? Bakit ba tayo nabuburn out sa trabahong paulit ulit na routine na hindi naman sufficient yung sahod? Miserable tayo kasi di natin nabibili ang gusto natin. Miserable tayo kasi naiinggit tayo sa mga nasa itaas natin. Sa mga boss at manager ng pinagtatrabahuan natin na three times as much yung kinikitang sahod kumpara satin. At yung boss at manager na yun ay nagsstruggle pa sa pagsave ng PDF file. Maaring may papel tayo sa kasalukuyang estado natin. Kasi tayo ang humuhubog sa kanya kanyang career natin. Accountable din ang mga magulang natin. Hindi naman natin hiniling na mabuhay sa cruel na mundong ito, pero pinagpilitan nilang manganak sa kabila ng estado ng...
Sara's ratings drop while Marcos maintains public's trust & approval - OCTA's latest survey
According to OCTA Research's 2024 4th Quarter Tugon ng Masa survey, Duterte's trust rating fell to 49%, down from 59% in the 3rd Quarter of 2024. Similarly, her performance rating dropped to 48% from 52%. “This marks the first time that both the trust and performance ratings of the Vice President have fallen below the majority threshold," the study noted. Most of those who distrust Duterte and are dissatisfied with her are from the NCR, while Mindanao remains her stronghold, recording the highest trust and satisfaction ratings. Meanwhile, President Marcos experienced a slight decline in his ratings. His trust rating dipped to 65% from 69% in the previous quarter, while his performance rating dropped to 64% from 66%. Marcos’ highest...
Budget Issue.
THE BUDGET LEGISLATION Ito po ang step by step, very detailed process ng ating national budget cycle. There are FOUR PHASES: 1) Preparation 2) Legislation 3) Execution 4) Accountability Let's focus sa LEGISLATION phase, under it are the following: 1) House Deliberations 2) Senate Deliberations 3) Bicameral Deliberations (BICAM) 4) Ratification and Enrollment 5) Enactment So the VERY issue exposed by Cong. Isidro Ungab ay simula sa BICAM part. Ang BICAM Report na dapat naglalaman ng RECONCILED or HARMONIZED version ng pagkakaiba ng House at Senate (resolved differing provisions) AY HINDI KUMPLETO, may mga BLANKO. Yet, pirmado ang report ng mga BICAM members. Bakit pirmado kung may BLANKO? Now, the (supposedly) HARMONIZED BICAM...
Komunista X Sundalo.
Magdalo partylist and the communist-terrorists. Hindi ba kayo nahihiya sa mga kasundaluhan? Kayong mga Magdalo partylist, kaya nyong mag-himod sa ***** ng mga criminal at komunista? Magdalo partylist, traydor ng Bayan. Kayong mga sundalo, active at retired, ikalat nyo ang kawalanghiyaan ng mga Magdalong partylist na ito. Huwag nyo ng iboboto ang mga traydor na to!!!

The legal options for Trump to acquire Greenland
Acquiring Greenland would now appear to be a foreign policy priority for the incoming Trump administration. Reviving his 2019 proposal for a US takeover of the territory, an idea thought to have been shelved following his 2020 election loss, Trump last week made his ambition for Greenland plain. Greenland is part of Denmark and a territory within the Danish realm. Despite doubts that have been cast over Copenhagen’s sovereignty, in 1933 an International Court ruled in favour of Denmark in a dispute with Norway over title to the world’s largest island. That ruling has been continually accepted in the years since and there are no competing claims by other Arctic states, including the United States. There is an American military base in...
Zero budget bilang parusa!
Ayon sa isang senadora, nararapat lang daw na i-zero budget ang Philhealth bilang kaparusahan. Ang galeng ni ate mong senadora.! Hindi ba nya naisip na sa ginawa nilang yan , mamamayan ang direktang maaapektohan lalong-lalo na ang mga matatanda at may sakit. Kung parusa pala ang dapat na igawad eh di sana ung namumuno sa Philhealth lang and parusahan. Daming paraan, sibakin sa trabaho, i-demote or ilipat ng ibang departamento! Ginagago lang nila tayo tapos sasabihin pa na ung tinapyas sa Philhealth, ilalagay daw sa ibang ahensya na mas nangangailangan. Tapos mamukat-mukat mo, binuhay ulet ung Akap at bnigyan pa ng 26 Bilyon na pondo. Kung nabubuhay lang tatay netong Senadora na to malamang sa noo nya itinarak ung espanda ng Panday!...
Same Playbook by the Marcoses
Ferdinand Marcos Sr. issued an EO on Feb 24, 1966 removing VP Fernando Lopez from the National Security Council. Years later, he declared Martial Law and abolished the OVP. With the Office of the Vice President abolished and the constitutional successor VP Lopez gone, FM Sr was free to declare himself ruler of this country for over 2 decades. Where he plundered public coffers. And where our rights and freedoms were taken away from us. History repeating itself is the Universe asking us if we have learned the lessons we were supposed to learn the first time. Marcos Sr destroyed our country. Are you willing to see, in your lifetime, another Marcos destroy our country after we had painstakingly rebuilt it from the ashes of Marcos...
