Tama ba ang pagsuporta sa mga politikong 'lesser evil'?

Tama ba ang pagsuporta sa mga politikong 'lesser evil'?

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...

Dalawang Option lang ang hahantungan ng 12 Senators.

💡 Trivia Dalawang Option lang ang hahantungan ng 12 Senators.

* 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...

Constitutional Crisis? The Truth Behind Gatchalian's New Senate Majority

💡 Trivia Constitutional Crisis? The Truth Behind Gatchalian's New Senate Majority

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...

Bakit kailangang mag-walkout ng 11 minority senators?

Bakit kailangang mag-walkout ng 11 minority senators?

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...

Imee's Misleading Video Backfired And the Minority Made Her Look Foolish

💡 Trivia 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?

💡 Trivia 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

💡 Trivia 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.

Senate Has a lot of Issues

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?

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...
