JUST IN:
According to a league source, there is a PBA rule/memo which states that only a coach and an assistant are allowed to engage with the referees during a game.
A separate rule/memo also states that only a coach and one assistant are allowed to stand on a team’s bench during a game.
Apparently, these rules are honored more in the breach than in the practice.
Do these rules really exist, Kume Willie Marcial?
Idk abt u but it’s definitely not the first time. The maroon side literally BOOED & SCREAMED IYAKIN TO THE WHOLE TEAM LAST YR so nope, not the first time & definitely not as disrespectful as what u guys did last year:) tingin kasi muna sa sariling bakuran bago tumahol:)
Never Again to Villanueva Dynasty. Save Bulacan now! Hustisya para sa bawat Bulakenyo! Ibalik ang dangal at diwa ng kanilang lalawigan! #JoelIsLying Sabi po ni Hesu-Kristo sa ating lahat patungkol sa kasulatan ni Mateo, "Mag-ingat sa mga bulaang propeta at mga pekeng pastor!"
Joel Villanueva, the preacher of hypocrisy
No church is perfect. But what happened last night on the anniversary of Jesus is Lord? That is just concerning. Didn’t we have enough of this bullshit from the likes of Quiboloy and Señor Aguila?
Last night, ladies and gentlemen! Senator Joel Villanueva used the anniversary of their flock to preach his narrative. Correct! Not the word of God but how will the attendees defend him amidst all the issues connected to him in the flood control project.
I have been calling out the hypocrisy of the Senator for a while now — way beyond this issue and he seems to have mastered the art of double talk in all aspects of his life.
Not too long ago, a video of Eddie Villanueva preaching to his church how going against his son is like not fearing the curse of God. You really got to be kidding me with this church!
In a numerous opportunity Senator Villanueva to show his proof that he is innocent – through plenary privilege speeches, Blue Ribbon Committee, ICI or the media. Why aren’t he showing the “resibo” if he really has one?
I agree that no church is perfect. But if the leaders of your church are using you for their personal gain? Run! Without you knowing it — you might be in a cult. I guarantee you, that’s not the way to salvation.
To Pinoy Evangelicals, I appeal to you, open your eyes. When you let earthly kings & politicians speak in your pulpits, and elect pastors to political office, you compromise the Gospel message, soil the church’s integrity, & damage your witness to the world.
ST. JOEL VILLANUEVA IN HIS FULL BLOWN ACTOR ERA.
A-MUST READ PO!
“THE PASTOR, THE PORK, AND THE PENDING QUO WARRANTO: The Joel Villanueva Paradox”
By: Tindig Pilipino/FB
“I don’t intend to run anymore in public office.” Sabi ni Senator Joel Villanueva - parang isang confession na may halong pagod, guilt, at political survival instinct.
Pero kung pakikinggan mo ang mga bulungan sa likod ng Senado, hindi raw ito voluntary exit - kundi strategic retreat bago pa siya mapatalsik.
Ayon kay Nosy Tarsee, there’s talk of a quo warranto petition brewing - the same legal weapon na ginamit para patalsikin si Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno noong 2018.
⸻
⚖️ The Ghost of 2016
Let’s rewind.
In 2016, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales ordered Joel Villanueva’s dismissal and perpetual disqualification from public office for misusing ₱10 million in PDAF funds intended for livelihood projects.
The findings were damning - fake NGOs, ghost beneficiaries, and forged documents.
The Ombudsman even forwarded the case to the Sandiganbayan, where malversation and falsification charges were filed - and to this day, no final resolution has been rendered.
In short: the case is still pending, but the disqualification order still stands.
⸻
🧾 The Senate’s Selective Blindness
The Ombudsman’s decision was clear - dismissal and perpetual disqualification.
Pero the Senate refused to enforce it, claiming “separation of powers.”
In Tagalog: “Bahala na kami sa sarili naming dumi.”
That move practically neutered the Ombudsman’s authority.
Even Morales herself, in later interviews, said it made the country look like a joke in the eyes of the world - because the rule of law seemed optional for the powerful.
⸻
🌊 Then Came the Flood (Control Scam)
Fast forward to 2025 - DPWH District Engineer Henry Alcantara dropped his own bombshell before the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.
He named Villanueva among those who allegedly received kickbacks from anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan, amounting to hundreds of millions of pesos.
Alcantara even testified that Villanueva requested around ₱1 billion in flood project allocations for his province.
In short: mula sa Pork Barrel, ngayon Flood Barrel naman.
And that makes the irony flood-level high - a preacher who once said “the righteous shall govern” now being accused of engineering a flood of corruption.
⸻
📚 Quo Warranto 101
Now, what is this quo warranto thing everyone’s whispering about?
It literally means “by what authority.”
It’s a legal proceeding questioning a person’s right to hold a public office - and it’s precisely what ousted Sereno in 2018 despite her impeachment immunity.
If the Ombudsman’s perpetual disqualification still stands - and if Villanueva’s Certificate of Candidacy (CoC) was filed while that decision remained in effect - then his eligibility to serve as senator is in question.
That means his CoC could be void, and technically, he’s illegally occupying a Senate seat.
As one electoral lawyer put it:
👉 “If his disqualification was never lifted, then the Senate is harboring an impostor under the law.”
⸻
💀 The Death of the Aguinaldo Doctrine
Villanueva reportedly invoked the Aguinaldo Doctrine, or the “Condonation Doctrine,” saying that reelection cleanses past sins.
Pero sorry, Brother Joel - the Supreme Court already killed that doctrine in 2015 (Carpio-Morales v. CA and Binay Jr.).
Wala nang “forgiven by reelection” defense.
The people’s vote doesn’t erase the Ombudsman’s judgment.
⸻
🕯️ A Test of Institutional Courage
This issue now falls on the new Ombudsman - will he have the spine to enforce the 2016 decision?
Because if not, it becomes a chilling message: “You can’t be punished if you’re powerful enough to pray on camera.”
Public office is not an altar for redemption. It’s a test of accountability.
And right now, Villanueva’s halo is hanging by a thread.
