Hindi impressive ang legal background kung ginagamit lang sa pangmamaliit. Mas nakakabahala ang may alam sa batas pero pinipiling baluktutin ito.

Ma’am Zyann Ambrosio is soooo clever! She did not disclose her location while reporting. She managed to record despite fear and panic. She was strategic by not posting or exposing her video recording early. Naghintay muna until may mga inilabas na narratives na wala namang patunay. Kaya ayan, di magtagpo-tagpo ang istorya nong mga senators na sabay-sabay nag-live, OSAA head and especially APC. Lantaran ang mga sinungaling.

Join our petition urging Senate to choose a new Senate President: We call for the resignation of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as Senate President and urge our Senators to choose new leadership worthy of the institution they serve. The Senate presidency is not an ordinary political office. The position demands not only competence, but trustworthiness, truthfulness, and integrity. Today, many Filipinos across political lines no longer believe that these standards are being upheld by Senate President Cayetano. Filipinos deserve a Senate led by someone whose integrity is beyond question, whose words command belief, and whose leadership strengthens rather than diminishes the institution entrusted to him. For the good of the Senate and the nation, Senate President Cayetano must resign. https://t.co/GjzOf3KY1L

Beware the false prophet whose lies convince no one but himself. Beware the man who has reached the summit too many times — Foreign Affairs Secretary, Speaker of the House, now Senate President — yet whose words no longer command belief but provoke doubt, ridicule, and suspicion.

In the case of the Cayetanos, an apple does fall far from the tree. Carried by the winds of power, dragged through the mud of compromise, kicked around by opportunists and flatterers, until at last that very same apple rots in public view.

Shaquille O’Neal said, “My stepdad was a Sergeant in the Army, a serious and strong man of character. We had an excellent relationship...

I once played at Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks in my first season in the NBA.

I had a terrible game.

Afterward, he called me and asked why I played so badly.

He wondered if it was the pressure of facing Patrick Ewing and the Knicks. I told him I felt pressure.

He said, ‘Tomorrow, I want you home at 7:00 AM. Pick me up. We’re going to see a family that has no home.’

On the way, we encountered a family in need.

My stepdad stopped, gave them money for their next meal, and said,

"That’s pressure. You have everything; you’re weak. There’s no pressure in playing basketball and earning millions of dollars. Real pressure is felt by those who don’t know when or where their next meal will come from."

He told me to get out and help that family.

I got out and saw a man with his wife and two children who had just lost their home.

The man was looking for work. He told me he was cutting grass.

I called a friend and asked him to get this man a job.

I called another friend and said I needed an apartment for a family of four, promising to send a check the next day. They needed help.

After that, I never felt pressure in a basketball game again because that family had real pressure.”

“Uy, tumaba ka,” was what my aunties and uncles told me during my video call with them on Christmas eve. They said it with fondness.

I said this before and I will say it again. “Uy, tumaba ka” is not necessarily body-shaming in Philippine culture. When my mom or relatives tell me that I gained weight, I don’t think that the intention is to shame. When they say that I gained weight, it’s usually synonymous with, “Hey, it’s good that you are not skipping meals and you are eating well.” To our elderlies, weight reduction could mean health problems or you’re not taking care of yourself well enough, or worse, you’re into drugs.

Uy, tumaba ka is also our covert way of saying, “I remember you exactly from the last time I saw you, that’s why I would notice any change.” Taken in this context, uy, tumaba ka is actually thoughtful and sweet.

So, please, let’s stop importing Western ideas that do not necessarily fit in our culture. Western “correctness” is ironically toxic and raises weak individuals who take things without nuance. It sounds offensive says my White colonizers, so I HAVE to feel offended. It develops individuals who easily get offended even by the most innocuous and innocent statements.

Daily Mass.

Try it.

It doesn’t start off like anything life changing. At least for me. It’s hard to wake up, make the time, and it’s repetitive.

But if you give it a chance it will change everything.

It’s a slow build. Gradually over time.

But eventually it becomes the only way you make it through the day. It is your strength. Your endurance. Your healing. Your power.

Lord I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.

COMMENTARY: Filipinos are tired of leaders who demand trust yet refuse transparency, who promise accountability yet shield their own, who speak of readiness yet offer no vision beyond survival and spite. If Sara Duterte insists she is "ready," the public has every right to ask: ready for what — another round of secrecy, showmanship and selective outrage? https://t.co/4O3BI7DIys
