Aside from disrespecting the philippine flag, they are violating filipinos’ right to free expression.

39 years na walang ganitong gulo sa Senado.

May mga senador na kinasuhan, sumuko, inaresto sa ilalim ng iba't-ibang liderato. Pero patuloy ang trabaho ng institusyon.

Etong mga ito dalawang araw pa lang nakapwesto may nagpaputok na agad sa loob. 🙄

Someone has to be made accountable for Bato’s escape.

No less than the DILG Secretary and PNP Chief entered the senate building last night to secure the senators.

The public was assured last night Bato was in the “5th foor, in his room, resting”. Bato’s lawyer showed a video last night of Bato supposedly in the senate.

The senate building should’ve been secured last night - no one in, no one out.

We need answers. How did Bato escape? Who helped him?

[raffy magno @raffymagno]

The protection now being extended to Senator Bato is the same protection this state denied thousands of Filipinos during the bloody years of the drug war.

No warrants served with caution. No guarantees of due process. No Senate shielding them from arrest. No powerful institution rushing to defend their rights after they were branded guilty without trial.

For years, ordinary Filipinos were told that fear, violence, and death were necessary. Now that accountability is approaching the powerful, suddenly the language has changed to rights, dignity, and protection under the law. The hypocrisy is staggering.

Guys, CEBU IS NOT OKAY.
We’re not okay in Cebu.

SPREAD THE WORD!

We’re still flooded. Many lost their homes. Many areas don’t have electricity yet and signal.

Northern Cebu is still recovering, and then here’s another one.

SPREAD THE WORD!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

On the evening of Tuesday, 30 September, a strong earthquake struck the central region of the Philippines, particularly the province of Cebu and its neighboring provinces. I express my closeness to the dear Filipino people, and in particular I pray for those who are most severely affected by the consequences of the earthquake. Faced with any danger, let us remain united and supportive in our trust in God and in the intercession of our Blessed Mother.

ISANG OPEN LETTER KAY G. ANTHONY TABERNA

Hindi Lahat ng Dumaan sa Plenaryo ay Insertion

Hi Anthony,

Kamusta ka na? I hope this letter reaches you in good spirits.

Narinig ko ang paliwanag mo tungkol sa issue ng “insertion” at kay Risa.
Ang intindi ko sa sinabi mo ay lahat ay insertion, kahit yung ginawa sa plenaryo o sa Bicam. Kapag naaprubahan sa plenaryo at dumaan sa Bicam, insertion na rin ‘yon.

At nang sabihin ni Risa na wala siyang ginawang “Bicam insertions” sinabi mo na “technical” ang sagot niya.
Pero Anthony, hindi ito pagiging technical, ito ay pagiging tapat sa proseso.

I. “Amendment” - Ang tanging kinikilalang termino ng batas

Malinaw sa 1987 Constitution, Art. VI, Sec. 24–25(1):

“All appropriation bills shall originate from the House, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments.”

Iyan lang ang opisyal na kapangyarihan ng Senado na magmungkahi o umayon sa amendments.

Walang binabanggit ang Saligang Batas tungkol sa “insertions.”

Ang amendment ay ginagawa habang bukas ang plenaryo, may debate, may boto, at nakatala sa Journal.

Ito ang demokratikong proseso , malinaw kung sino ang nagpanukala at paano ito pinagtibay.

II. “Insertion” - Ang tamang kahulugan at hangganan

Dito kadalasang nagkakagulo.

Ginagamit ng ilan ang “insertion” para ilarawan ang anumang dagdag sa budget. Pero sa batas, ang tawag diyan ay amendment kung ito ay ginawa sa plenaryo o committee hearing.

Iba ang insertion.

Hindi ito termino ng batas. Ito ay praktikal na tawag sa mga idinagdag pagkatapos maisara ang plenaryo, karaniwan sa Bicameral Conference Committee (Bicam).

At malinaw ang tungkulin ng Bicam:

“To reconcile disagreeing provisions of the Senate and House versions.”

Ibig sabihin: magrekonsilya, hindi magdagdag.

Kaya kapag may bagong item na pumasok sa Bicam na hindi pinag-usapan sa alinmang bersyon, iyan ang tunay na Bicam insertion, labas sa proseso.

III. Pero hindi lahat ng idinagdag sa Bicam ay mali

May mga pagkakataon na ang Bicam ay nagre-realign lang ng pondong dati nang kasama sa alinmang bersyon. Yan ang tinatawag nating legitimate reconciliation.

Ang problema ay kapag may bagong proyekto o alokasyon na wala sa alinmang bersyon at hindi dumaan sa debate o boto.

Doon ito nagiging irregular o iligal.

Kaya kung gusto nating maging eksakto:

“Amendment” — ginagawa sa liwanag, may tala, may boto.

“Insertion” — ginagawa sa dilim, walang record, walang umaako.

IV. Kaya hindi tamang sabihing “technical” si Risa

Kapag ginamit ni Risa ang terminong “Bicam insertion”, hindi siya nagtatago sa teknikalidad, inaayos niya ang katotohanan.

Precision is not evasion, Anthony. it is just being honest.

Ang pagiging malinaw sa termino ay hindi pagtatago, kundi paninindigan.

V. Halimbawa ng mga totoong “Bicam insertions”

Noong 2019, sina Sen. Ping at ilang senador ay nag-report ng ₱75B na dagdag sa DPWH budget na ginawa sa Bicam nang walang deliberasyon.
Ngayong 2025, muli itong lumitaw, may ₱142.7B na idinagdag umano sa Bicam na wala sa bersyon ng Senado o Kamara.

Iyan ang ibig sabihin ng insertion —
hindi dumaan sa proseso, lumabas lang pagkatapos.

VI. At sa sitwasyon ni Risa

Si Risa ay nagmungkahi ng amendments nang bukas at malinaw, tulad ng ibang senador.

Pero nang makita niyang binawasan ng Bicam ang pondo ng PhilHealth, 4Ps, edukasyon at ₱373B ang nadagdag sa unprogrammed funds, tumanggi siyang pumirma sa Bicam report at bumoto ng “NO” sa 2025 budget.

Kung totoo ngang may insertions siya, bakit niya tatanggihan ang mismong budget na iyon?

🕯️ Panghuli

Hindi lahat ng dumaan sa Plenaryo ay insertion.

Hindi lahat ng dagdag ay mali.

Ngunit ang Bicam insertion, iyong idinagdag nang palihim at walang tala,
iyan ang dapat bantayan.

Huwag sana nating sabihing “technical” ang pagtutuwid ng termino.
Dahil sa panahon ng disinformation,
ang katotohanan mismo ang ating pinakamalinaw na anyo ng katapangan.

Maraming salamat, Anthony. At nawa’y mabuti kayo ng inyong pamilya.

Gumagalang,

Edwin
