Now we know what Rody Duterte's BUILD, BUILD, BUILD was all about. It was all about massive corruption and fast-tracking it in 6 years. A grand robbery of a country.

When Ombudsman Morales issued the 2016 dismissal order against Senator Joel Villanueva, it was final, executory, and binding. The Senate had no legal discretion to ignore it. #ThoughtLeaders https://t.co/OLy5IkP71k
I hope companies would stop giving product endorsements to Heart Evangelista and Maine Mendoza. These friggin’ nepo wives. Makaranas sana kayo ng hirap. Hirap na nararanasan ng mga Filipino. Para fair.
First, it was the burial of Marcos, Sr. Next, they erased traces of history from our banknotes.
Then, they removed February 25 as a holiday.
We're witnessing history being erased, blow by blow. The motive is simple: they are intent in redoing the horrors of martial law.
As Congress races to finalize year-end spending bill, proponents of the Kids Online Safety Act hope to attach it to the must-pass measure.
- But Speaker Johnson is opposed to the plan — even though it has the backing of Musk and Don Jr. and passed Senate with 91 votes.
- Johnson contends it would stifle free speech, something backers deny. And he tells me it’s an exercise for “early next year,” meaning the process will start over.
- Blackburn says it can’t wait til then.
- More from @InsidePolitics on the battle to get Trump’s support and Big Tech efforts to kill bill:
Abalos has "friends" whose plane fetched Alice Guo back to the Philippines.
Sara has a book about a "friend".
Marcos Jr has "old friends " who gave him a surprise Duran Duran concert.
This is the Amigo Government. A friend in need is a friend in bid.
#ICYMI: COMMENTARY: That is the justice that former senator Antonio Trillanes is now looking for when he filed a case of drugs smuggling against Paolo Duterte, Manases Carpio et al. https://t.co/bipBUoa7P0
The audacity of Rodrigo Duterte to talk about following the law.
He, of all former public officials, showed how he disregarded the law and weaponized it against his critics.
Kapal ng mukha mo Mr. Duterte.
Leila De Lima's acquittal from all of the trumped up charges against her means this: Duterte lied about her supposed involvement in drugs and abused the power of the presidency to keep her jailed unjustly for almost seven years.
Kailangang panagutan ito.
While we share a common belief in the PH opposition, I have no regrets standing up for the Israeli cause. Zionism is self-determination. Hamas is not a liberator, it’s a terrorist group. Those tunnels are military, not civilian structures subject to Israeli ops.
It's utterly senseless & unfair to compare the Sara of today to the Leni of yesterday - bec they're light years apart. Leni exuded genuine public service, transparency & selflessness. While Sara, w/o a shadow of the doubt, is the epitome of sheer ambition, recklessness & greed.
Feb 25, 2024 will fall on a Thursday. Assuming I will have a class that day and the holiday list will not be corrected, one option is to have no physical class & assign readings instead on economic crises during Marcos years (debt crisis, dollar shortage, inflation, crony loans).
