PANOORIN: Agaw-pansin ang mala-burak na tubig na dumaloy sa white sand beach diretso sa dagat sa El Nido, Palawan noong Miyerkoles, May 20.

Ayon sa uploader, nang medyo tumila na raw ang malakas na ulan noong araw na iyon, nakita nila ang rumaragasang maitim na tubig mula sa ilalim ng kanilang tinutuluyang hotel na dumaloy patungo sa dagat.

Sinusubukan naman ng GMA News na kunin ang pahayag ng naturang hotel kung saan nakitang dumadaloy sa culvert sa ilalim nito ang maitim na tubig ngunit wala pa raw silang pahayag sa ngayon.

Hihintayin pa raw ng pamunuan ng naturang hotel na makabalik mula sa ibang bansa ang kanilang general manager.

Sabi naman ng pamunuan ng barangay, matagal na raw itong problema sa lugar lalo na kapag tag-ulan, hindi raw galing sa hotel ang tubig kundi galing sa waterway mula sa bundok.

Sinusubukan pa rin kuhanan ng pahayag ang DENR, DOT at ang El Nido LGU.

A CHEAP SHOT

Sen. Marcoleta’s attack on Sen. Risa Hontiveros that she did not know the rules because she is not a lawyer is a cheap shot, an argument from arrogance and credentialism at its worst.

One need not be a lawyer to recognize a legal issue. One need not be a doctor to recognize when a person has fever. And one need not be an engineer to recognize a bridge collapsing.

Sen. Risa Hontiveros may not be a lawyer but dismissing her argument on that basis is an attack on her credentials, not a defense of substance.

In public debate, the question is not who speaks. The question is whether what is being said is true.

If Senator Marcoleta disagreed with Senator Hontiveros, then he should answer her arguments, not her profession.

In the end, the irony was impossible to miss. Sen. Marcoleta was defeated by Sen. Sotto, a non-lawyer but knew the rules better.

That is the problem with credentialism. It confuses titles for wisdom and professions for truth.

‘BINABA NILA NANG BINABA ‘YUNG STANDARD’

Binatikos ni dating senador Antonio Trillanes IV ang aniya’y Duterte senators dahil sa pagbalahura at pagbaba umano ng pamantayan sa institusyon.

"Noong pumasok sila diyan simula noong 2019, ganoon na. Pababa na nang pababa 'yung standard," saad ng dating senador sa programang "Sa Totoo Lang" ng One PH.

Hindi rin daw tumupad sa campaign promises ang mga naturang senador.

"Kumbaga, lokohan eh. Kaya ngayon, nandiyan sila sa Senado. What do you expect from them? Talagang puro fake news, puro panloloko," dagdag niya.

Who Can Harass the Little President?
By Dr. Tony Leachon

I am not a powerful politician.
I am not an influential person.
I am an ordinary physician, a private citizen, asking for accountability.

The ₱60‑billion PhilHealth transfer was declared unconstitutional. Government officials now claim it has been “restored”—but in truth, no money was returned from the Treasury. Instead, it was taken from the General Appropriations Act, meaning taxpayers paid twice. Hospitals remain unpaid, cancer and dialysis programs underfunded, and millions of Filipinos denied care.

But the betrayal does not end there. Another ₱107‑billion was diverted from the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC)—funds meant to protect the savings of ordinary depositors.

This strikes at the very foundation of financial trust. Together, these diversions amount to ₱167 billion, a staggering breach of duty that weakens both our health system and our banking safeguards.

When ordinary citizens demand transparency, we are accused of harassment. But harassment is not asking questions.

Harassment is the betrayal of trust, the denial of care, the manipulation of truth.

Accountability is not optional—it is the lifeblood of democracy.
And I will continue to speak, not because I am powerful, but because silence is complicity.

“An ordinary voice can still carry extraordinary truth.”
