Akbayan Party strongly opposes the use of EDSA for a gathering in support of Senator Rodante Marcoleta, who is expected to face charges of plunder. While we uphold the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression, these are diminished and betrayed when they are invoked not to speak truth to power, but to protect the corrupt and powerful. EDSA is sacred ground in our nation's history. It symbolizes the Filipino people's struggle for truth, justice, and accountability. It is not a sanctuary for plunder and impunity.
Equally deplorable, but not surprising, is the open support this gathering has received from twice-impeached Vice President Sara Duterte and ousted Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano. Sara has every reason to support any effort that could undermine her impeachment trial. Cayetano, meanwhile, has once again demonstrated his remarkable talent for inserting himself into every political spectacle in search of relevance.
We call on the Filipino people to reject the false narrative being peddled by Marcoleta's camp and to defend the true spirit of EDSA. We likewise challenge the administration to stand firm in pursuing charges against Marcoleta and to swiftly file cases, arrest, and send to jail all those involved in the flood control corruption scandal, regardless of whether they belong to the camps of the Dutertes or the Marcoses. This is already long overdue. Justice delayed only deepens public distrust and division.
And to Marcoleta, Akbayanโs message is simple: You may bring your supporters to EDSA, but you cannot claim its legacy. EDSA is defined not by geography but by principle. It belongs to those who fought tyranny, corruption, and impunity, not to those seeking refuge from accountability. You may temporarily occupy EDSA, but you will never inherit its meaning or use it to escape justice.

Sa ikalimang anibersaryo ng pagpanaw ng isang mabuting lingkod-bayan, ating ginugunita ang kanyang mga nagawa para sa ating mga kababayan at sa bansa.
Ang kanyang iconic na linyang โKayo ang boss ko.โ ay legasiya ng pinuno na inuuna ang kanyang mga pinagsisilbihan bago ang kanyang sarili.
Ang kanyang โwalang wang-wangโ na polisiya ay sumisimbolo sa pagkakapantay-pantay ng bawat Pilipino. Ipinagbawal ang epal at ang mga gumagamit ng kapangyarihan para sa kanilang pansariling interes.
Nananatili siya bilang inspirasyon sa ating lahat dahil sa kanyang kababaang-loob at buong pusong paglilingkod.
โHINDI TOTOONG HINDI PUPWEDENG MANAGOT ANG ATING MGA MENOR DE EDADโ
Ito ang nilinaw ni Sen. Kiko Pangilinan patungkol sa Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.
Ang araw na ito ay paalala na ang kalayaan ay may kaakibat na pananagutan. Tumindig tayo sa ngalan ng dangal, katotohanan, at bayan.
Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan, Pilipinas! ๐ต๐ญ
Isang mapagpalaya at makahulugang Araw ng Kalayaan! ๐ต๐ญโ๐ผ
Ngayong ika-128 taon ng ating kasarinlan, inaalala natin hindi lang ang tagumpay ng ating mga bayani kundi pati na ang mga pagpapahalagang iniwan nila sa atin โ tapang, pagkakaisa, malasakit at pagmamahal sa bayan.
Sa kabila ng mga hamon na hinarap at patuloy na hinaharap ng ating mga kababayan nitong mga nakaraang araw, pag-alabin po natin ang pag-asa, pagtutulungan at paninindigan para sa kung ano ang tama, makatarungan at makabubuti para sa higit na nakararami.
Patuloy nating ipagtatanggol ang atin โ ang ating soberanya, teritoryo, mga karapatan, at pambansang dangal, habang buong loob pa ring ipinaglalaban ang tunay na kalayaan mula sa gutom, kahirapan, at katiwalian.
Happy 128th Independence Day! Mabuhay ang mahal nating Pilipinas! โจ

Nakikiisa po tayo sa buong komunidad ng LGBTQIA+ sa pagdiriwang ng Pride Month.
Pride has always been a celebration of courage, identity, and love. It is also a reminder that the struggle for equality continues, and that every gain in human rights has been made possible by people who chose to speak, organize, resist discrimination, and stand proudly as themselves even in the face of prejudice and exclusion.
We remain committed to advancing measures that promote inclusion and equal rights for all. We have filed the SOGIESC Bill (HB 7069) and the Right to Care Act (HB 7068) in pursuit of greater protection and equality, and we continue to hope for their passage and full, meaningful implementation.
Sa lahat ng miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community: mahalaga kayo. Naririto kami. Kasama ninyo kami sa patuloy na laban para sa pagkakapantay-pantay, dignidad, at kalayaan.
Again, Happy Pride, everyone! Keep loving, keep standing proud, and keep moving forward together. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
