Thank you, Senator @risahontiveros, for standing with us in defending the Masungi landscape and all who protect our environment. Your courage inspires many. 🌿!
HINDI PWEDENG IKULONG LANG, IBALIK DAPAT ANG PERA NG BAYAN.
May batas (RA 1379) na puwedeng ifile ng Solicitor General para mas madaling ma-forfeit at maibalik sa taumbayan ang ninakaw na yaman.
@ABSCBNNews If this Senate cannot stand up to a Duterte now, then this Senate cannot stand up to China. Because the Dutertes represent the interests of China in the Philippines 🇵🇭 .
BETRAYAL OF PUBLIC TRUST AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.

March 11, 2025 marked a turning point in Philippine politics after Rodrigo Duterte became the first former Asian state leader to face charges before the International Criminal Court.
ABS-CBN News’ documentary, “From Hong Kong to The Hague: The Arrest of Rodrigo Roa Duterte,” traces the firebrand leader's arrest and eventual transfer to The Hague, where he faced the ICC judges who ordered his detention.
Catch it on the ABS-CBN News YouTube channel at 5 p.m.

How dare you mention your corrupt, murdering, foul-mouthed, inept, diabolical, evil, and morally-bankrupt father and Ninoy Aquino in the same sentence.
HOW DARE YOU.

On #InternationalDayofForests, we are reminded that they are not just landscapes; they are lifelines. They shield us from disasters, provide water to downstream communities, and sustain countless species. The fight for Masungi is the fight for every conservation effort in the country. Now, more than ever, we must raise our voices and stand for the places that give us life.
Why should we continue protecting Masungi? What do forests mean to you? Share your stories, thoughts, and messages using #SaveMasungi.
How can you help?

“Sayang naman yung mga inumpisahan naming pangangalaga dito sa lugar kung kukunin na lang basta-basta, nang walang pakundangan—walang malinaw na pag-aayos. Ni hindi man lang sila bumisita dito sa lugar para makita nila kung ano talaga ang tunay na layunin ng Masungi Georeserve—ang pagprotekta sa lugar, ang pagtatanim ng mga punong kahoy, ang pagtatanim ng halaman. Matindi rin ang mga sakripisyong ginagawa namin dito, kaya malungkot isipin na basta na lang ikakansela ang mga proyekto.
Mas maganda siguro kung sa halip na tanggalin, magtulungan na lang para mas mapaayos pa, mapaunlad, at maipagpatuloy ang pagprotekta sa lugar. Kasi kung iba na ang nangangasiwa, baka iba na rin ang sistema ng pangangalaga. Hindi natin alam—baka pag-quarry-in, patagin lahat, o gawing subdivision. ‘Di natin alam, dahil sila ang may kapangyarihan. Paano na ang ating kinokonserba—yung mga flora at fauna? Wala na silang matitirhan. Mawawala ang lahat, sa habang panahong iniingatan sila.
Nakakalungkot din naman na sa tagal ko nang nag-iikot ng mga bisita dito, hindi ko na magagawa ‘yun. At kung halimbawa, sila na ang magpapatuloy sa proyekto, paano naman kami na mga nagtatrabaho dito?”

“It would be such a waste if all the care and effort we started here were simply taken away without consideration—without proper and clear plans. They didn’t even visit the place to see for themselves what Masungi Georeserve truly stands for—protecting the land, planting trees, and restoring vegetation. We have made so many sacrifices here, so it’s disheartening to think that the projects would just be canceled.
Instead of removing what has already been built, wouldn’t it be better if we worked together to improve, develop, and continue protecting this place? Because if different people take over, the system of care might change. We don’t know what will happen—what if they allow quarrying, flatten everything, or turn it into a subdivision? We have no idea because they hold the power. What will happen to the flora and fauna we have been conserving? They will lose their home. Everything we’ve worked so hard to protect will disappear.
It’s also heartbreaking to think that after guiding visitors here for so long, I may no longer be able to do so. And if they do decide to continue the project without us, what will happen to those of us who have worked here all these years?”

Duterte's plane has taken off. People appear to be cheering and celebrating. Reports indicate he is en route to The Hague, Netherlands, with a scheduled stop in Dubai. #Duterte#DutertePanagutin#DuterteIkulong#dutertearrest
Rodrigo Duterte has now boarded the chartered plane that will take him to The Hague, where he will be on trial for crimes against humanity. Please, no return policy!
