Huli na ang dalawang gunman ni Mima Alicia.

Pero ang gusto ko sanang malaman sino ang nag utos sa kanila, yan ang importante.

‘WALA NAMAN SA BUDGET NATIN… PAANO NATIN I-EEXPLAIN NA PINAKAIN NATIN ANG DEFENSE TEAM?’

WATCH: Senator Erwin Tulfo says the majority rejects Vice President Sara Duterte’s request for the Senate to shoulder the food, beverage, and catering services for the defense team, support staff, and witnesses throughout the impeachment trial.

“The decision of the majority was like, bakit natin sasagutin. How do we explain that? Saan natin kukunin yung bayad sa pagkain tapos sila pa mamimili sa catering,” Tulfo says. | @eimorpsantos

The irony is that they praise the previous administration because they “felt safe” during that time, yet now threaten those who disagree with them. You cannot demand a safe country while becoming part of the reason why others feel unsafe.

The sad thing is that this Impeachment Trial is live on tv and many platforms. Available to the young who will be future leaders of our country in different fields. The decorum in the Senate, unfortunately, is partly disgusting and not worth emulation. Mahiya naman kayo!

Gawin ba namang threat sa mga ayaw kay Robin na gawin siyang Vice President. Edi gawin niyo para 6 years ulit kayong ma-stress i-defend yung kashungaan niyo.

Tapos once ma-realize niyong hindi pala ikinaganda ng buhay niyo yan, isisisi niyo na naman sa mga hindi bumoto lol

MANILA 23 July 2026 - The Department of Foreign Affairs reaffirms that Ayungin Shoal forms part of the exclusive economic zone and continental shelf of the Philippines, as provided for by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and settled by the 2016 Arbitral Award.

As a low-tide elevation, Ayungin generates no maritime entitlement of its own and cannot be claimed by any other state. The Philippines alone holds the sovereign right to authorize any structure there, and Philippine vessels do not require permission to sail to Ayungin.

The Department has addressed on many occasions attempts to mischaracterize the nature of Ayungin Shoal and the Provisional Understanding on the Rotation and Resupply Mission to the BRP Sierra Madre.

As stated from the outset, the Provisional Understanding is a set of principles and approaches observed by both sides in order to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation in the conduct of the Philippines routine rotation and resupply (RORE) missions for daily necessities to the BRP Sierra Madre in Ayungin Shoal. It is not a grant of or a request for permission to any foreign government, it does not recognize any foreign jurisdiction over Philippine waters, and was agreed on the express understanding that it does not prejudice national positions.

Furthermore, the Provisional Understanding does not require the Philippines to seek permission to undertake RORE missions, nor does it allow boarding and inspection of Philippine vessels, and, above all, it does not concede the Philippines' sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction.

The Philippines' legal position, grounded in UNCLOS and vindicated by the Arbitral Tribunal, remains unchanged and non-negotiable.

The Philippines continues to conduct rotation and resupply missions, including normal shipboard activities in BRP Sierra Madre, as a matter of routine government function within Philippine jurisdiction and in the exercise of its sovereign rights under international law particularly UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award, and will continue to do so for as long as necessary in line with the national interest.

🚨 OMG Sen. Raffy Tulfo complains that the DDS Minority Senators are always given more than two (2) minutes pero pag sila daw sa Majority eh laging kinukulit na malapit na ang two (2) minutes.

AYOS SI IDOL RAFFY patahimikin mo na si Robin Padilla. 😂

👏👏👏

[FrNongnong @iskrukutoy]

Senator-Judges should judge and not tell the prosecutor or defense what to do. A Senator-Judge is criticizing the prosecutor’s actions. Wala siyang pakialam dun.

🚨 Atty. Mark Vinluan admits he calls President Marcos Jr. as only BBM but it’s without any disrespect daw.

[Rappler @rapplerdotcom]

NBI director Melvin Matibag says they also looked into the affidavit of self-confessed Davao Death Squad member Arturo Lascañas to establish the pattern of threats related to Vice President Sara Duterte.

Duterte served as Davao City mayor – the city where the DDS allegedly carried out the killing orders of former president Rodrigo Duterte.

Rappler, in 2021, published a series of reports on Lascañas' affidavit submitted to the International Criminal Court.
