A major catalyst for this dispute is the revelation that Davao City 1st District Representative Paolo "Polong" Duterte received a staggering ₱51 billion allocation for regional flood control projects during his father Rodrigo Duterte's presidential administration. Critics note that despite this massive funding, Davao City continues to suffer from severe flooding.
Serving as the Chairman of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, Marcoleta spearheaded a high-profile Senate investigation into these anomalous flood control contracts. He faced intense public scrutiny for defending and pushing to grant immunity to the Discaya couple under the Witness Protection Program (WPP), arguing that threats to their lives made it necessary and that returning stolen funds should not be a requirement for their protection.

Kapag politiko at influential na tao, privileged pa din sa mata ng batas kahit na magnakaw at gumawa ng krimen. May mga hindi mahanap, pag nahuli ay sari-saring sakit ang matutuklasan at konting panahon lang sa kulungan ay pwedeng mabigyan ng pardon.
Habang ang mga mahihirap lalo na mga aktibista, kulong agad at nasa maximum security pa kahit na totoong may mga sakit at senior citizens na.
Sa bansang ito kasalanan maging mahirap at lumaban para sa iyong mga karapatan while you will be rewarded and be given special treatment kahit na magnakaw ka ng ilang milyon basta mayaman at may kapit sa politika.
🚨 The Sandiganbayan asked the PNP why they allowed BP Sara Duterte and Sen. Robinhood Padilla to visit Sen. Rodente Marcoleta if he was isolated for pneumonia (which is contagious).
Kudos to the SB Justices!
No to special treatment. Kasi kawawa naman si Revilla at Jinggoy.
😂
okay so guys today na sila magdedecide who will be the presiding officer. whoever it is, kahit pa ibalik si chiz, do not panic!!!! THE EVIDENCE WILL SPEAK FOR ITSELF. THE PROSECUTION TEAM IS PREPARED. sa ganitong impeachment it’s going to be all about the evidence and kung sino mang presiding officer would not want to go against public opinion kaya manuod at hikayatin ang mga family niyong tumutok so all of us are well informed.
Hindi ito usapin ng relihiyon at pananampalataya kundi ng batas.
Dahil hindi ito usapin kung pupunta ka ba sa langit o impyerno, kundi kung makukulong ka ba o mapapatunayang walang sala.
Wala ba nagkakasala sa mga katoliko?
Aba napakarami. At napakaraming katoliko ang nakakulong.
Wala ba nagkasala sa JIL? Dko tiyak ang datos pero malamang meron.
Wala ba nagkasala na INC? Dko rin tiyak ang datos pero malamang rin meron.
Kung mataas na opisyal ng katoliko ang nasangkot at may kaso, may narinig ba tayo na umalma ang simbahang katoliko at nagrally para pigilan ito?
Ngayon lang natin nakikita ang protesta ng mga nananampalataya para sumoporta sa isang senador na miyembro nito.
Ibig sabihin ba nito posibleng mag rally din ang JIL sa isa pang senador na miyembro nila kapag susunod na sasampahan ng kaso?
Sa bibliya na mismo sinabing lahat tayo ay makasalanan kaya wala ni isa sa atin ang dapat magmalinis.
Pero hindi lahat tayo ay lumalabag sa batas at nasasampahan ng kaso.
Ibang usapan iyon. Pero nasa bibliya pa rin na ibigay kay cesar ang para kay cesar at ang sa Diyos para sa Diyos. Ibig sabihin ay magpasakop sa batas ng tao at sa Diyos. Si Kristo ang nagsabi nito.
Hindi sinasabing hinusgahan na si senador marcoleta o si senador villanueva. May pagkakataon at karapatan silang ipagtanggol ang sarili nila. Si marcoleta na rin ang nagsabi na sasama sya kapag inaresto. Dahil abugado sya at alam nya ang batas. Tiwala naman siya na kaya nya ipagtanggol ang sarili nya.
Maging si senador jinggoy at dating senador bong revilla dinidinig pa ang kaso. Mga katoliko sila sa wari ko. At may kakayahan sila ipagtanggol mga sarili nila.
Dapat nating tanggapin na kahit pa matibay ang ating pananampalataya, sa ating hanay ay mayroong maliligaw at magkakasala.
At kung si Kristo ang sentro ng buhay mo alalahanin na ipinadala sya ng Ama para sa mga makasalanan. Para magkaroon ng kaligtasan kapag nagbago ng landas at sya ang sundan.
Kung may kaso harapin.
Kung walang kasalanan dapat hindi matakot. Hindi ba yan ang palaging sinasabi ng lahat?
Hindi ibaling sa iba na maaaring may kasalanan din ang depensa.
Ang mga tanong bakit sila ang nauna at paano naman ang iba?.. hindi yan depensa sa batas kundi palusot.
Ang mga tanong bakit plunder eh pribadong pera ang tinanggap at hindi pera ng bayan?.. Yan ang ipagtatanggol nya sa husgado hindi sa lansangan.
Sa ingay na ng mundo bumulong tayo ng panalangin para sa kapayapaan.
Dear Senator Risa Hontiveros,
@risahontiveros
I am writing to express encouragement for you to please consider a presidential run in 2028.
Over the years in public service, you have built a reputation for sustained work on issues that many find difficult to push forward in the Philippine political landscape. Your efforts in advocating for public health reforms, particularly around reproductive health, have helped shape national conversations that were once considered too sensitive to even discuss in Congress. Your consistent work on women’s rights, anti-trafficking legislation, and protections for vulnerable sectors has also been widely recognized as part of a broader push for stronger social safeguards.
You have likewise taken visible positions on accountability and governance issues, often choosing to focus on institutional reform and transparency even when it placed you in difficult political crosscurrents. For many observers, your style of work stands out for its consistency—returning to the same core concerns of social justice, public welfare, and good governance across multiple terms.
At a time when public trust in institutions is frequently tested and political discourse can become polarized, there is a growing desire among citizens for leadership that is steady, policy-oriented, and grounded in long-term institutional strengthening. In that context, some see your track record as one that aligns with those needs.
Whether or not you choose to pursue the presidency, your role in shaping legislation and national debate is already significant. Still, many would welcome the possibility of your leadership being brought to a broader national mandate in 2028.
Respectfully,
William John G. Balderama
Pia seems to be attempting to undermine @risahontiveros , but it’s clear that Pia is just seeking attention. While she claims it’s not written down, the truth is that it is indeed outlined in the bill, and it has been mentioned repeatedly. Let’s focus on clear communication and constructive dialogue instead of getting caught up in convoluted arguments. It’s important to encourage thoughtful exchanges! Pia just won’t stop interrupting and hasn’t got any manners about it. WALANG PARLIAMENTARY COURTESY! BASTOS!
Cong. Pepito Alvarez:
“May kinalaman doon sa pinadala sa akin ni Mike Defensor…
Si Mike Defensor ang nagpadala sa akin ng impeachment complaint laban sa Pangulo at kung maaari raw ay i-endorso ko…
Eh NANG HINDI KO INENDORSO, BIGLA na lang AKO NAGKAPANGALAN dito.”

You cannot invoke the Constitution only when it is convenient.
When you prevent the Senate from functioning as mandated by the Constitution, you violate the Constitution.
When you refuse to convene the Senate for three consecutive days, you violate the Constitution.
Do not dare ask to be rescued by the very Constitution you violated.
So, talagang plano ni ALAN PETRANG KABAYO na ISABOTAHE ang SENADO at ilagay sa alanganin ang BAYAN, dahil sa sarili niyang kapakanaan. Imagine, he would rather that the Philippine senate be USELESS, rather than see it working, SO LONG AS HE IS IN POWER! NAPAKASAMANG TAO NITONG SI ALAN PETRANG KABAYO. (With due apologies to these gentle, lovable animals.)
