Very disappointing that the impeachment trial always begin with those three senator-judges throwing tantrums.
You all know who those three grandstanding senators are.
in the 19th Congress, Senator Risa Hontiveros filed a Senate Resolution No. 459 directing the appropriate Senate Committee to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation into the nickel and metallic mining activities in Sibuyan Island, Romblon. unfortunately, public record doesn’t seem to show SRN 459 being taken up.
considering recent developments regarding this, including protests from residents and environmental advocates, we respectfully call on Senator Risa Hontiveros, SP Win Gatchalian, and both Houses of Congress in the 20th Congress, to conduct an inquiry into the mining activities in Sibuyan Island.
GALIING!
Another “sectumsempra” moment @ChelDiokno used Alan Cayetano’s decision/motion during the Corona trial (2013) na argument to support his motion to open Sara’s bank accts, etc.
Kagaya nung ginawa niya, flawlessly, kay J.Bernabe noong Oral Arguments (2021) #ConvictSara
Hindi umattend sa impeachment. Hindi sumunod sa NBI subpoena. Hindi sumunod sa mga COA rules. Hindi umattend sa budget hearing. VP Sara does not respect the government of which she is a part. Bakit natin siya gagawing Presidente?
PAANO KA HINDI KAKAININ NG SISTEMA?
In his commencement speech to the graduates of UP Law 2026, Mayor Vico Sotto shared that he is always asked by people how he keeps his integrity. They ask for his advice on the age old question of:
“Paano kami hindi kakainin ng sistema?”
As a result, he shared ten things he does or thinks about regularly to avoid being eaten by the system.
Here are the TEN THINGS that Mayor Vico Sotto does or follows to keep his integrity:
1. Preparation is more important than courage.
2. Make a list of non-negotiables and review them regularly.
3. When in doubt, choose faith conscience and integrity over money power and ambition.
4. Study cognitive dissonance and continuously identify how and where it affects you. Your decision-making and opinion-forming.
5. Get out of your echo chamber from time to time.
6. Check your ego every single day.
7. Have people in your life who share the same or similar principles, values, and beliefs.
8. Allow said people in #7 to keep you grounded.
9. Give these people the license to hold you accountable.
10. Have a healthy level of respect but also be willing to go against the status quo.
Then the crowd cheered in applause. 👏

I support doing all ten but I would like to personally highlight Numbers 3, 6, and 7! 💯
