@inquirerdotnet Maniwala sana ako kaso corrupt yung namumuno sa parally na yan. Na para bang di rin siya part ng gobyernong to. Tanginang mga politiko dito sa Pinas, self serving and di pro Pilipinas! Matatapos na lang ang term puro drama lang at kanya kanyang batuhan ng putik!!
@News5PH Can we stop giving spot light sa mga politicians na madrama at wala namang silbi? Kaya tumatatak name nila eh dahil konting drama at ekesena publish kaagad..
@QueenAniger23@pnagovph Ano gusto mo gawin niya? He was elected as our President and they are both public servant. Bare minimum na magwork sila together. Not a fan of Marcos ha
A SUCCESSFUL EXPEDITION OF SHARED HISTORY 🚣♂️
The Provincial Government of Batanes thanked the Tao people of Lanyu, Taiwan for their efforts to visit to Batanes via their boat, reliving the voyage that their ancestors took.
The group also entrusted the Cinedkeran boat which they used to the people of Batanes, in the hope that the Ivatan people would make a visit to Lanyu in 2027.
"Dios mamahes, Lanyu. May the seas be calm and may our paths cross again soon," the provincial government said.

@ABSCBNNews May we all remember what they did in the past, sabi for shelter lang and now military facility na. I don't trust CCP at all especially with how bipolar they seemed.
The decision to expose the illegal presence of the People’s Republic of China’s floating, movable platform is not only about being transparent with the Filipino people and countering China’s lies.
It is also meant to inform the international community, like-minded states, and our allies and friends that China is once again violating UNCLOS, undermining the rules-based order, and jeopardizing the peace and prosperity of this region.
Because if we choose to stay silent — if we choose to look away from such unlawful acts — we only embolden the bully, convincing it that it can do whatever it pleases simply because it has the military and economic might to silence the rest of us.
But the Philippines will not be silenced. We choose to stand up to bullies!
WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS: MONITORINF DEVELOPMENTS IN BAJO DE MASINLOC | In late May 2026, Philippine maritime agencies documented new activity inside Bajo de Masinloc through satellite imagery, patrol flights, and coordinated monitoring operations.
The findings included two Chinese research vessels, a movable floating platform, several buoys, and an antenna operating within the shoal.
Look at the evidence, the geography, the legal context, and the continuing efforts to monitor developments in one of the most closely watched maritime areas in the region.
Facts matter. Context matters. Evidence matters.

Beijing accuses us of “hyping.” Let us be precise about what actually happened. We observed a structure inside Bajo de Masinloc. We documented it, dated it, geolocated it, and released the aerial imagery to the public. That is not hype — that is transparency. And transparency is only threatening to the party that has something to hide.
To “hype” something is to exaggerate or invent it. We did neither. The imagery speaks for itself, and we put it in front of the Filipino people, the region, and the international community precisely so that no one has to take our word for it — or Beijing’s. The fact that China’s instinct is to attack the reporting rather than explain the structure tells you everything. What is irresponsible is not a coast guard doing its job and informing the public. What is irresponsible is the unilateral placement of structures in another country’s exclusive economic zone, in open defiance of the 2016 Arbitral Award — and then calling the act of documenting it a provocation.
And there is a reason we cannot simply accept Beijing’s description of these as “normal activities.” We have heard this before. When the People’s Republic of China first occupied Mischief Reef in 1995, it assured the world that the structures it was putting up were nothing more than shelters for its fishermen. Today, Mischief Reef is a fully militarized artificial island — runway, hangars, radar, missile capabilities — sitting squarely inside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone. The “fishermen’s shelter” was the cover story.
So when China waves away the structure at Bajo de Masinloc as “normal,” it is asking the region to forget its own record. That is precisely why these actions cannot be taken at face value.
If China genuinely wants to be believed, there is a simple way to show it: pull out. Remove the platform, halt the installation of buoys/communication towers, and respect the 2016 Arbitral Award and waters that are legally ours. Anything less only confirms the pattern — that China’s assurances at Bajo de Masinloc today are worth exactly what its word at Mischief Reef proved to be three decades ago.
The choice belongs to Beijing. It can preserve what little good faith the region and the international community still extend to it, or it can keep proving why that trust was misplaced to begin with.
@dayawism Because our countries leaders are busy with their dramas. May this be a lesson for us to elect officials who are progressive thinker. Di yung kahit nanalo na puro political parties rift pa rin ang aatupagin.
