Imee's Misleading Video Backfired  And the Minority Made Her Look Foolish
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...
Flood Control Scam noong panahon ni Duterte, bakit ayaw talakayin?
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/...
Cayateno's Senate Majority is ABSENT for the 2nd time
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.
Senators VS Senators, People VS People
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...
Senate Has a lot of Issues
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
Kultura ng Kawalang-Galang: Bakit Naging Normal ang Baluktot?
kung babae ka at hanggang ngayon ay supporter ka pa rin ni duterte, despite his misogyny, 🍇 jokes, and victim-blaming clips and articles na lumalaganap ngayon sa socmed. then ang questionable ng morality niyo. ano iyan nagsu-support kayo sa women empowerment, galit sa man.yakis, victim-blamers, at mga nagre-🍇 joke, pero pagdating kay du30 may exemption? pakiramdam mo safe sa panahon niya o baka naman hindi ka lang affected kasi hindi ikaw ang nasa receiving end ng injustices? pero let me tell you this, the moment you tolerate injustice just because it doesn’t affect you, you’re part of the reason why it persists, and not because the gun isn’t pointed at you yet, doesn’t mean you won’t be next. alam mo iyong irony? duterte does not...
The Cost of Political Theater
Gemini said "Laughable" is honestly the perfect word for it, if it weren't so exhausting. The local political scene has always had a flair for the dramatic, but lately, it feels like the scriptwriters have completely lost the plot. It genuinely plays out more like a primetime telenovela than actual governance. Just look at the sheer chaos breaking out recently. We have literal gunshots and a lockdown at the Senate because an ICC arrest warrant is closing in on top officials, a sudden leadership coup unseating the Senate President, and the House fast-tracking impeachment articles against the Vice President. All of that in a span of one week. It’s wild because while the top leaders are locked in this intense, bitter feud, the rest of the...
Why the Philippines Needs a Parliamentary System
Let’s cut through the noise. We’ve been stuck with a presidential system since 1987 that promises strong leadership but too often delivers gridlock, blame shifting, and dynastic drama. As a conservative who believes in strong institutions, fiscal prudence, national unity, and government that serves the people not the other way around, I’m convinced it’s time for a parliamentary system. Not some radical experiment, but a proven framework that aligns power with responsibility, rewards competence, and protects the Filipino family, faith, and future. Think about it. Under our current setup, the President and Congress operate like rival teams with fixed terms, leading to endless stalemates, pork barrel politics, and lame duck paralysis...
As a conservative Filipino, here's my balanced take on the VP Sara impeachment and the new Senate President
Kumusta mga kababayan and fellow forum lurkers. I’m posting as a conservative who believes in law and order, strong institutions, and national stability. I support policies that prioritize economic growth, sovereignty, and the rule of law over personality politics. Like many who appreciated the Duterte administration’s focus on crime, drugs, and security, I’ve been watching today’s developments closely. The House has impeached Vice President Sara Duterte with a 255-26-9 vote, and almost immediately after, the Senate elected Alan Peter Cayetano as the new Senate President. It’s a dramatic day in Philippine politics, and it deserves a calm and balanced discussion instead of pure cheering or outrage. First, the facts. The House approved...
