In this Senate drama, the biggest loser for me is Sen. Loren Legarda.
She did not just lost a fight along side with Cayetano. She also lost friends and worse, she lost herself and all because of ambition.

The math is literally mathing here! 😂
Palawan Rep. Pepito Alvarez just exposed Mike Defensor’s cheap retaliation tactics.
Cong. Pepito revealed he received a text message from Defensor’s camp aggressively recruiting him to endorse an impeachment complaint against President Bongbong Marcos.
But when he flat out rejected it with a simple “No, sorry,” guess what happened next?
BOOM! He suddenly found himself named in that shady "maleta of cash" list by the 18 ex-Marines.
It’s so obvious! If you don't join their desperate ouster plot, they will instantly fabricate a smear campaign against you.
Total gasgas script by Mike Defensor!
'HE IS DISGUSTING'
LOOK: Sen. Ping Lacson on Thursday slammed the accusations made during the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing led by Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano's bloc, calling it a "bogus BRC hearing."
In response to the image presented in the hearing earlier of him riding a helicopter with Sen. Tito Sotto, Lacson clarified that the picture was taken during his 2022 presidential campaign when he contracted an air service company for P11 million, an expenditure he said was already included in his SOCE.
“The air service company was Asian Aerospace. We contracted them in the 2022 campaign. It's on our Statement of Contribution and Expenditures (SOCE) where we paid P11.031 million for the services," Lacson said in his statement.

‘ADDITIONAL MARINES NA GUSTO PA NILANG ILABAS’
WATCH: The NBI played a video during a press conference on Thursday, showing the alleged “second batch of former Marines” being bribed to testify in the flood control anomalies.
NBI Director Melvin Matibag said the video was being monitored by the bureau’s Cybercrime Division on social media, adding that they are currently investigating the matter.
“Yun yung parang additional na Marines sa pag-aaral namin na gusto pa nilang ilabas ulit. Diba may 18 na, parang gusto pa nilang dagdagan,” Matibag said. | @MJSalcedoINQ
Disgraced ex-SP Cayetano desperately dragged my name in a bogus BRC hearing without an iota of evidence or even a tiny bit of basis or reason except to pull me into a corruption controversy. He exposed his loathsome behavior by using overstretched innuendos. He is disgusting.
I mean sino ba naman maniniwala na si Leila de Lima tumanggap ng maleta??!?!?? Hindi na kayo natuto sa mga gawa-gawang allegations.
Pakabobo ng mga to.
BREAKING: NBI Director Melvin Matibag has revealed that the NBI received information that former Congressman Mike Defensor allegedly bribed each of the “18 ex-Marines” P5 million to provide testimony regarding the flood control anomalies.
Matibag said the testimony came from an individual with a direct relationship to one of the 18 supposed ex-Marines.
“Pinangalanan si dating Congressman Mike Defensor na siya yung nag-offer ng halaga, nong P5 million, para maging testigo nga at lumabas, mag-press conference,” Matibag said.
He added that the NBI has already issued a subpoena to Defensor to shed light on the allegations. | @MJSalcedoINQ
