Today's political climate is far different from yesteryears. Before, politicians were heavily divided by ideologies and policies (with several factions to distinguish them), today's politicians are divided into just two: one that clings to the Dutertes, and one that fights it.

“If Ateneo is truly Ateneo, the test is not how beautifully it mourns. The test is how bravely it tells the truth to a mother from Agusan del Sur whose son died on its watch.”

🚨 Despite PDP-Laban saying yesterday that they will file a case before the Supreme Court to question the Win-12 quorum eh naunahan pa sila ni teacher Barry Tayam, a non-lawyer, mag file sa SC.

The problem?

Hindi kampi si Tayam sa DDS Bloc. 😂

*Solid Bloc 12: Sen. Alan Cayetano is no longer Senate President*

For clarity, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano is no longer Senate President after the Senate, with 12 senators present and a quorum declared based on the recognized base number of 22 under Avelino v. Cuenco, voted to declare all positions vacant, including the presidency of the institution.

Hindi pa lamang naihahalal si Sen. Win Gatchalian bilang bagong Senate President dahil kailangan pa ng 13 boto sa ilalim ng Konstitusyon. Pero ito ang malinaw at mahalaga ngayon: bakante na ang lahat ng posisyon, tapos na ang dating liderato at dapat magpatuloy ang trabaho ng Senado para sa taumbayan.

I stand on Alan Peter Cayetano! Who's with me? ✊

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

Sayang ang ipinapasahod ng taong-bayan kung hindi nagagamit ang oras ng Senado para sa trabaho.

Humigit-kumulang ₱25 milyon ang ginagastos kada araw sa operasyon ng Senado para sa kuryente, utilities, pasahod, at iba pang pangangailangan.

Kapag walang sesyon, walang batas o resolusyong maipapasa. Maaantala rin ang kumpirmasyon ng ating military personnel.

‘WALA NAMAN NAPALA’

Sen. Robin Padilla took a swipe at long-serving senators, saying their numerous terms in office have not translated into meaningful progress for ordinary Filipinos.

“Sa panahon niyo, wala naman din napala ang mahihirap, manggagawa, magsasaka, mangingisda, maglulupa, at iba pang manpower ang kalakal,” he wrote on Facebook.

Grabe. Ang pinakasukdulan talaga ay yung tangang mayabang.

Maipasok lang ang sariling katwiran, gagamitin na ang batas na parang goma — iuunat, pipilipitin, babaluktutin — para lang mapaboto ang katotong pinaghahanap ng hustisya.

Sorry, patola ako ngayon, kasi hindi ko talaga kayang unawain kung bakit tayo nagbabayad ng buwis para paswelduhin ang mga ganito.

Hindi na nga sumusunod sa batas, ipinagyayabang pa ang kamangmangan. Excuse po ba sila sa Constitution? May special lane ba ang katangahan sa Senado?

Indeed, the punishment of wise men is to be ruled by unwise men. Pero marami sila, kaya “men” na rin. Collective noun na yata ang kabobohan.

At kung maiinis kayo dahil kesyo nagmamarunong ako, i-block n’yo na ako. Walang pilitan dito. Hindi ko obligasyong gawing daycare ang wall ko para sa mga allergic sa common sense.

Hindi tayo uunlad sa ganitong klaseng pag-iisip: yung mali na nga, ipinipilit pa; yung batas na nga, ginagawang suggestion; yung accountability na nga, ginagawang favor sa tropa.

Kaya please, trolls at DDS, huwag muna kayong magtambay sa wall ko. Bad trip ako today. 😡
