All Roads to Davao
Alice Guo’s paternal origin is from Fujian, China. Cassy Ong’s maternal origin is from Fujian, China. There are many business owners and entities in the Philippines originating from Fujian, China. In 2020, Chinese products were found being sold at the Chinatown District in Binondo, Manila bearing the ticket “Manila Province, People’s Republic of China” as its manufacturing address, prompting angry reactions from Filipinos and local officials. Back in 2018, red banners that declared “Philippines, Province of China” sprung up across the Philippine capital, infuriating many local people. In 2018, Davao entered into a pact as Sister Cities with Xinjiang City, Province of Fujian. Davao City and Fujian carries direct airline flights...
Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye.
Dahil nakikisali na naman ang mga KAKAMPINKS sa usapang politika— at pilit na pilit nilang sinasama sa usapan si Leni Robredo, ito lang ang masasabi ko: Don’t compare Sara Duterte to Leni Robredo. Leni enjoyed PRRD’s protection, even while actively working to destabilize his administration. Remember that Duterte even blocked the Congress on their plan to impeach Leni. In contrast, Sara is facing relentless attacks from the entire government machinery, orchestrated under the three powerful forces: BBM, Liza Araneta-Marcos, and Martin Romualdez. That’s the difference.
Off Guard
Cong. Rodante Marcoleta raised a HIGHLY VALID CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE that caught the House of Representatives of the Philippines off guard. The question was directed at the Chairperson of the committee, but Mr. Chair ATTY JOEL CHUA appeared to have no understanding of the hearing he was presiding over. Several legal citations went unanswered, exposing the fact that those conducting the hearing are IGNORANT OF THE LAW. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/15FWqL6RmS/
UNITEAM to BETRAYAL
The ongoing conflict between the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the House of Representatives over confidential funds reflects a deeper issue that points directly to President Bongbong Marcos himself. Despite running on a platform of unity alongside Vice President Sara Duterte, his actions—or lack thereof—suggest that he is not only failing to uphold that promise but may even be orchestrating or allowing this crisis to unfold. By staying silent while Duterte faces intense scrutiny and attacks, Marcos appears to be distancing himself from the very person who rallied her supporters to secure his presidency. Some might say this is not merely neglect but a calculated move to isolate the OVP and consolidate power, furthering his own...
LEGAL or îllégâl
The case of Atty. Zuleika Lopez underscores the urgent need for Supreme Court intervention to resolve tensions between the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the House of Representatives. Acting as the OVP's Chief of Staff, Lopez sought to uphold the confidentiality of sensitive government funds, a legal responsibility under her mandate, particularly during an ongoing Commission on Audit (COA) investigation. The contempt charge against her, raises concerns of legislative overreach and potential violations of due process. Given the complexities of constitutional separation of powers, the Supreme Court's interpretation is essential to clarify the boundaries of the legislative inquiry and executive privilege. Judicial intervention...
Excuse me
e President Sara Duterte would often mention the name of Speaker Romualdez and First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos in her desperate attempt to divert our attention from the real issues. I have no idea what the plans of Speaker Martin in 2028 are but even if he wants to be president… that still doesn’t explain anything, Madam! YOU submitted the questionable acknowledgement receipts with names like Mary Grace Piattos and with dubious dates argued physically impossible to disburse in various locations. Not Speaker Martin Romualdez, not First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos. YOU! YOU spent the 125 Million confidential funds in 11 days! The House Blue Ribbon Committee even established that the OVP can just obligate it so they can use the said funds...
Maluwag ang oras
NURSE, GISING NA PO SIYA: SARA ACCUSES ROMUALDEZ OF ALLEGED THREAT IN FIERY REMARKS Vice President Sara Duterte accused House Speaker Martin Romualdez of harboring intentions to harm her. "Isa lang naman ang gustong pumatay sa akin — si Martin Romualdez. And I don't think gagawin niya 'yan dito sa loob ng House of Representatives. Gagawin niya 'yan doon sa labas," Duterte alleged during a press briefing on Friday, November 22. She further criticized Romualdez's character, referencing their shared experiences during the 2022 campaign, where Romualdez served as Duterte's campaign manager. "Because I know him, 'di ba? From the short time na nagkasama kami, I'm a good judge of character. Mabilis ako maka-assess ng isang tao. Nagkasama...
Ang galing
Ang galing ni Fiona.... MAGSINUNGALING at MANLAGLAG ng kanyang sariling tauhan. Pinapalabas nya na hindi daw dumadaan sa kanya ang documents ng confidential funds. hahaha.... Eh yung pera, kanino kaya dumadaan? https://x.com/ABSCBNNews/status/1859178213706285392?t=GVXx9hjzxRbs-tN9tSxs9g&s=19
Legal or îllégâl okay lang yan
Former President Rodrigo Duterte reiterated that he took full responsibility for his administration's bloody war on drugs. During the eleventh public hearing of the House Quad Committee on Wednesday, November 13, House Assistant Minority Leader and Gabriela Women's Party Rep. Arlene Brosas questioned Duterte on his accountability for the controversial anti-drug campaign. "Sinabi niya po na full responsibility, so totoo ba 'yan?" Brosas asked. In response, Duterte firmly asserted his stance: "Very correct. Since I was the president and there was this, until now, serious problem about drugs, I had to issue or make a policy statement about drugs. And all that happened, 'yung nangyari pursuant to my order to stop the drug problem in this...
Magikaiba pero iisa
AFTER 'MARY GRACE PIATTOS' COMES 'KOKOY VILLAMIN': HOUSE PANEL FLAGS MORE FRAUDULENT RECEIPTS UNDER SARA-LED OVP, DEPED The House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability has flagged another suspicious name, "Kokoy Villamin," in the ongoing probe into ₱612.5 million worth of confidential funds managed by the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and the Department of Education (DepEd) under Vice President Sara Duterte. The name surfaced in multiple acknowledgment receipts (ARs) submitted for financial liquidation, displaying varying handwriting and signatures—suggesting potential falsification. Manila 3rd District Rep. Joel Chua, who chairs the committee, vowed to intensify efforts to uncover the truth behind these records...
Whoever advised President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to provoke Vice President Sara Duterte should be fired.
Closet anti-BBM? Whoever advised President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to provoke Vice President Sara Duterte should be fired. “I always thought that we were (friends) but maybe I was deceived,” BBM told reporters covering the ASEAN Summit. An incensed Vice-President would not allow that to pass without comment (severe tongue-lashing is more like it). In an explosive press conference Friday morning, Vice-President Inday gave a faithful chronology of events of the days leading to her decision to run for the second highest post of the land in a team-up with BBM. For close to two hours, she let off steam, firing rockets into the man who had the gall to turn the tables on her while subjecting her and her family to a vicious demolition job...
Survey Lang Ito
Kaya "DON'T WORRY"...Safe Na Safe Pa Din Ang Pinas...Nag-OOT lang kaya gumagamit... Article: SOCIAL WEATHER REPORT | Families victimized by common crimes rise to 6.1% in September 2024; victimization by cybercrimes rises to 7.2%; neighborhood fears stay high The national Social Weather Survey of September 14-23, 2024, found 6.1% of families reporting victimization by any of the common crimes (pickpocketing or robbery of personal property, break-ins, carnapping, and physical violence) within the past six months. This is 2.3 points above the 3.8% in June 2024 and the highest since the 8.1% in September 2023 [Charts 1 and 2, Table 1]. At the same time, families victimized by cybercrimes rose sharply from 3.7% in June 2024 to a new...

House quad-comm ‘cancels’ EJK hearing on Nov 13 The House quad-committee confirms in a press conference on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 that it is ‘canceling’ the hearing into cases on extrajudicial killings (EJK) set on November 13, 2024. Instead, they will be ‘postponing’ it to November 21, 2024. This development comes after former presidential chief legal counsel Salvador “Sal” Panelo confirmed on November 11, 2024 that former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte will attend tomorrow’s hearing.
