Normalise not forcing people to choose you. Know your worth and what you have to offer, and never settle for anything less than you deserve. If somebody doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.

‘BAKIT GINANITO PO NILA?’

In the “Ibinasurang Paraiso” documentary of I-Witness, Kara David brought to light the story behind the mountains of trash dumped in the middle of a forest in Subic, Zambales.

“Parang nagagalit po na hindi ko po maintindihan ang sarili ko po. Naawa din po ako sa lugar. Bakit ginanito po nila?” Erlinda Capistrano, one of the residents in the area, said in the documentary.

“Itong lugar na ito, bangin daw ito dati. Pero ngayon halos napatag na ‘yung lupa kasi tinambakan nila nang tinambakan nang tinambakan ng basura,” David narrated. (YouTube/I-Witness)

SOLID BLOC 11: THIS IS NOT SENATE INDEPENDENCE BUT A BOYCOTT OF DUTY

The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.

They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.

Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.

Ang Senado ay hindi pag-aari ng iisang may hawak ng gavel. Institusyon ito ng taumbayan at napakadaming mahalagang panukala ang nabibinbin dahil sa drama ng mayorya.

Important measures were left hanging because of the majority’s boycott, including the Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers, the Anti-Hospital Detention Bill, the confirmation of generals before the Commission on Appointments and the bills granting Philippine citizenship to Bennie Boatwright III and Matthew James Ramos.

Let us call this for what it is: the claim that this is about Senate independence is false, because what happened today was about the rule of law, public accountability and a lawful process before the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan that no senator, no bloc and no presiding officer controls.

This is a boycott because of the arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, and the public should not be asked to believe another convenient line from a leadership that has repeatedly twisted the truth.

Today was a step toward accountability in a controversy that the public has long demanded action on, and after years of people asking why nothing was happening in flood control investigations, it is unacceptable to suddenly call the rule of law an attack on the Senate.

Is Senate President Alan Cayetano now questioning the rule of law?

Sa totoo lang, ang gusto nila ay kampihan, hindi prinsipyo. Gusto nila sumama kami sa boycott, patahimikin ang Senado at gamitin ang minority para manatili ang Senate President sa puwesto habang iniiwasan ang tunay na test of numbers sa floor.

This may be the first time in decades that Senate work stopped because the presiding officer himself refused to work, because even during typhoons and the height of the pandemic, work was suspended only because of necessity or because systems still had to be set up, not because the leadership chose a boycott of duty.

The public has every right to ask whether SP Cayetano is repeating what he did in the House of Representatives, when questions were raised about a leader refusing to step aside, refusing to convene and holding up proceedings when the numbers were no longer certain.

The question now is just as serious: will they do this again for the next two session days, and will they keep the Senate idle simply to avoid facing the numbers on the floor?

The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.

And lastly, we call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.

[Unniecorn 🦄🐣⚖️🔆| Invictus Maneo @MamasaurMandu]

You keep pulling that same card "SOLD OUT every stage." Sige, ibigay na natin sa inyo 'yan. You can fill seats. Edi Congrats! But can never fill the hearts of PINOYs. Ouch!

Let's be honest for a second.. if you're really that powerful and big, bakit hindi pa rin kayo mahal ng MASA? Why does the general public still feel distant from your idols? Why does the support feel forced instead of natural? Oo, kilala nila idols niyo, pero kilala LANG.

Kaya siguro kapit na kapit kayo sa numbers. Kasi yun na lang yung kaya niyong ipagyabang. Wala kasing maipagyabang na support from major media outlets, no recognition from Congress and DOT, no organic support from the OPM industry, and barely any love from casual listeners.

Kaya ngayon bangungot na sa inyo ang numbers kasi you know numbers are the only thing you can hold onto. Sold-out shows, charts, stats, that's your entire personality as a fandom.

Meanwhile, kami? Hindi kami pinalaki ng WALO na uhaw sa stats. Pinakita nila kung ano yung tunay na grind.. showing up every single day, every stage, no matter how big or small, kahit saan pa 'yan, giving more than 100% para lang mapasaya yung tao. Hindi sila umaasa na mapupuno ang venue. In fact, minsan nagdududa pa yan sila kung may pupunta ba.

Pero alam mo kung ano yung mahalaga sa kanila? Kahit 10, kahit 50 lang 'yan basta may mata na nanonood at may tenga na nakikinig sa music nila, masaya na sila, thankful na sila.

So yeah, keep clinging to your "sold out" narrative for the rest of your lives if you want. Kasi sa totoo lang, no matter how many achievements your idols unlock… you still don't look satisfied. You're loud, but not fulfilled. You're winning on paper, but still insecure in reality.

Nakakaawa diba? And that's the saddest part.. you're out here begging for the kind of love that can't be bought, forced, or inflated by numbers… the kind of love na MASA lang makakapag bigay freely.. but not to everyone, hindi sa mga tulad niyo.
