@grok@BasherMarino@ashtoreth117@iamphilrb@grok what evidences the COA have to say that those confidential funds have been disallowed, and proof of improper documentation? Site several examples.
@grok@BasherMarino@ashtoreth117@iamphilrb@grok however, VP Sara Duterte and her supporters said that she has already been cleared by COA over those allegations. The proof of it, as they said, that the agency gave her office an unmodified opinion. Is that distinction enough to prove against any misuse of public funds?
A brilliant infographic by @royngerng!
China loves to preach "peace" but at the same time, has active territorial disputes with all of its land & maritime neighbours!
Not just an aggressor, China is also a hypocrite!
Dear international media,
The West Philippine Sea is not being claimed by the Philippines like China.
The Philippines already owms it.
China is claiming and stealing it.
Ex-SC spox and FLAG lawyer Ted Te says SC decision requiring due process for accused in initiating impeachment complaint is not provided for by the Constitution since coverage of right to due process is limited to right to life, liberty and property, not public office @gmanews

Tomorrow, we mark the 9th anniversary of the landmark 2016 Arbitral Award on the South China Sea, a historic affirmation of the rule of law and our nation’s rightful place within the framework of international maritime order.
The Award remains a definitive triumph of reason over force and of rules over coercion. It reaffirmed the primacy of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as the constitution of the oceans, and clarified with finality the extent of our maritime rights and entitlements in the West Philippine Sea.
The decision categorically rejected the so-called “nine-dash line” and China’s sweeping claims of historic rights over nearly the entire South China Sea. It upheld the Philippines’ sovereign rights within our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and ruled against interference in the lawful activities of our vessels and fisherfolk. It also called out the environmental destruction caused by unlawful reclamation and militarization of maritime features.
Notwithstanding claims to the contrary, the Award is final and binding. It cannot be erased by intimidation or misinformation. It is now an enduring part of international law and continues to serve as a beacon for all peace-loving nations who champion the rule of law.
It has since guided our national maritime strategy and domestic legislation. We have enshrined the Award in our laws through Philippine Maritime Zones Act (Republic Act 12064) and the Archipelagic Sea Lanes Act (Republic Act 12065), and it has guided our National Security Policy (Executive Order No. 37) and our National Security Strategy (Memorandum Circular No. 75).
As we commemorate this milestone, we must also confront the continuing illegal, coercive, aggressive, and deceptive actions that threaten regional peace and stability. With the might of international law by our side, the Philippines will not yield. We will continue to implement the Award, assert our rights and protect our national interest through sustained maritime presence, law enforcement, capacity-building, strategic communication, and robust cooperation with like-minded partners and allies.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has made clear, “In the face of challenges to our territorial sovereignty, we will assert our rights and interests in the same fair and pacific way that we have always done.” We therefore call on all Filipinos to stand united behind the Award: as a shield for our sovereign rights, and as a symbol of our nation’s steadfast commitment to international law and regional peace and security.
For the Filipino people. For our sea and our future.

🎥 “Food Delivery: Fresh from the West Philippine Sea”
📽️ Directed by Baby Ruth Villarama
-This is not just a film.
-This is a frontline.
-This is a testimony.
-This is the Philippines, seen through saltwater, sacrifice, and sovereignty.
Food Delivery captures the unspoken courage of Filipino fishermen, the quiet vigilance of the Navy and Coast Guard, and the urgency of survival in the most contested waters of our time. Each mission—whether hauling fish or delivering food—is an act of defiance against coercion, and a quiet anthem of national dignity.
✅This story must be heard by every Filipino.
✅This truth must be seen by the world.
In a time when lies sail louder than facts, this film anchors us back to what is real:
Filipino lives. Filipino seas. Filipino courage.
Watch it. Share it. Support it. Defend it.
Because in every frame is a story Beijing wants buried—
And in every screening, the Philippines stands taller.

This is why I hate the CCP.
The CCP routinely punishes dissidents by targeting their families.
Wang Quanzhang’s 11-year-old son is barred from school — not for anything he did, but because his father is a human rights lawyer.
This is systemic. This is how dirty the CCP is.
CCG just blasted a Filipino ship with water cannons, again.
How many times does this need to happen before something changes? Words clearly aren’t working.
At this point, the Philippines should stop holding back & hit back, exactly like Taiwan did a month ago. @MalayaIrredenta
