May mga panahon na ang pinakamahirap gawin ay hindi ang manalo, kundi ang tumindig kahit ginagawa kang target ng kapangyarihan.

Bilang isang taong matagal nang lumalaban para sa pananagutan sa pamahalaan, alam ko na ang tapang ay hindi nasusukat kapag tahimik ang paligid. Nasusukat ito kapag malakas ang atake, mabigat ang pressure, at mas madali sanang manahimik na lang.

Senator Risa Hontiveros has shown that courage time and again. Hindi siya tumitindig para sa ingay. Tumitindig siya para sa katotohanan. Sa mga imbestigasyon tungkol sa POGOs, Alice Guo, human trafficking, abuse, corruption, and failures of public institutions, she has shown what it means to follow the trail even when the trail leads to powerful people. She has pushed for accountability where others would rather look away, and has consistently used her platform to protect those harmed by abuse, exploitation, and institutional neglect.

She asks the questions that many are afraid to ask. She gives voice to people who are often ignored. And even when the attacks become personal, she does not retreat from the work.

That kind of leadership is exactly what our democracy needs: principled, steady, prepared, and unafraid.

Hindi ko ito kayang tapatan ng pananahimik.

Naranasan ko na kung paano tumindig nang walang kasiguraduhan kung may yayakap ba, may sasabay ba, o may mananatili hanggang dulo. Naranasan ko na ring maiwang nakatayo mag-isa, sumasalo ng puna, batikos, at paninira, habang ang iba ay umatras na dahil mahirap ang laban.

Kaya alam ko: hindi madali ang lumaban para sa transparency, justice, and good governance. Pero posible ito kapag may mga lingkod-bayan na inuuna ang prinsipyo kaysa pulitika, at ang kapakanan ng taumbayan kaysa sariling ginhawa.

Naranasan ko nang masabihan: “Hindi ka naman mananalo. Masasayang lang ang boto.”

Pero kung ang laging pipiliin ay ang mukhang mananalo, kailan natin ipapanalo ang tunay na nararapat?

Gawin nating hamon ang panghihina nila.

Kayanin natin ang mahirap,
Ipanalo natin ang karapat-dapat.

Hindi ito para kay Risa!

Ito ay para sa ating lahat!

'THE PHILIPPINES MUST REJOIN THE ICC'

Naghain ng resolusyon sa Kamara si Mamamayang Liberal Rep. Leila de Lima para hikayatin ang gobyerno na muling sumapi sa Rome Statute ng International Criminal Court (ICC).

Sa ilalim ng House Resolution No. 1056, nanawagan ang kongresista kina Pres. Bongbong Marcos at sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) na simulan ang proseso para makabalik ang Pilipinas bilang miyembro ng ICC.

Layon ni de Lima na mas mapalakas ang commitment ng bansa sa paglaban sa impunity at atrocity crimes, at maitaguyod ang human dignity at rule of law.

STATEMENT OF FORMER SENATE PRESIDENTS ON SENATE BROUHAHA

We, former Presidents of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines, speak at this difficult moment out of our shared moral duty to the institution we once had the honor to lead.

Those of us who once held the gavel know that the highest duty of a Senate President is not to cling to office but to leave the institution stronger, more respected, and more firmly bound to the rule of law than when he or she found it.

We call on all incumbent senators, regardless of bloc or affiliation, to de-escalate public rhetoric that demeans the Senate and weakens confidence in it; to confine their disagreements to the floor and to the proper forums, where the arguments and the votes can be scrutinized by the public; and to prioritize the urgent work before the Senate (the economy, food and energy security, and justice) over internal maneuvering.

We urge all members of the chamber to resolve this crisis swiftly, within the bounds of the Constitution, the rules, and long-standing practice. The country cannot afford an unstable Senate at a time of mounting economic pressures, security threats, and growing public distrust in institutions.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!

What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.

Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.

Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

I have already responded to these blatant lies and filed libel/cyberlibel complaint before the NBI and perjury complaint before the DOJ.

Uulitin ko: Whether sa maleta, sa paper bag o anuman yan, wala akong tinatanggap na pera. Hindi na rin nakapagtataka na nagkakabuhol-buhol ang kwento at paratang sa akin dahil imbento lang ang mga pinagsasabi nila — kasinungalingan na inulit lang sa isang kwestyonableng hearing sa Senado.

Meanwhile, st scholastica college just bestowed its highest recognition to alumna risa hontiveros.
Congrats, senator!

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

Today, I take my oath as Senate President Pro Tempore.

Nagpapasalamat ako sa tiwala at kumpiyansang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng aking mga kasamahan sa Senado.

Buong pagpapakumbaba kong tinatanggap ang responsibilidad na ito. Patuloy tayong magtatrabaho at tutupad sa ating tungkulin para sa sambayanang Pilipino.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.

Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.

Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.

This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…

Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.

Get out of your bubble. Please.

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

How convenient it is for some people to use me or what I went through as an example whenever it serves their purpose or agenda. Kahit fake news, kahit ibang-iba ang totoong nangyari at naging sitwasyon ko noon, ipipilit pa rin para lang umakma sa naratibo nila.

Nung una, ang sinabi, hindi raw ako nagpa-aresto sa Senate premises. Maliwanag na kasinungalingan yan dahil sa Senado ako mapayapang humarap at nagpa-aresto sa mga awtoridad. Hindi ako nagpakanlong sa Senado, hindi ako nagdulot ng gulo, hindi ako tumakas, at lalong hindi ko inilagay sa peligro ang buhay ng maraming tao.

Now, they cite the resolutions filed by my fellow Senators during my unjust incarceration to allow me to participate in committee hearings and plenary deliberations via teleconferencing. Those were never approved. Kahit nga may COVID-19 pandemic noon kung kailan na-amend na ang rules to allow teleconferencing, di pa rin ako pinayagan. More importantly, no railroading or shortcuts to amend the Senate rules were resorted to in order to accommodate that request which, I repeat, was never granted. Malinaw yan kaya tigil-tigilan nila ang pagkukumpara.

Mahiya at kilabutan naman ang mga nagsasabing magkapareho lang ang pinagdaanan ko sa sinuman na gusto nilang pagbigyan ngayon.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

Teenager pa lang ako may kaso na sya. Kada dekada since 2001 may plunder case na sya.

Third time’s the charm na sana ma convict at walang lusot? 😇

Manifesting. ✨

[DAVAOMIGRANT @nabunturanguy]

Thank you Atty for reminding all of us about this BASIC, seemingly ignored TRUTH. Indeed, Rodrigo Duterte, and his sons and daughter, are changing the MORAL COMPASS of the Filipinos, especially their doggone followers. SINIRA talaga ng mga Duterte ang kahulugan ng MORALIDAD to suit their “leadership” style. Basta hindi sang-ayon o sagabal sa kanilang agenda, siraan, “iligpit,” patahimikin. At ang mga DDS naman, tuwang-tuwa! Juskolord, patawarin mo talaga ang maraming Pinoy (ay DDS lang pala), “ for they do not know what they are doing.”

[Audie Gemora @GemoraAudie]

Naging pugad ng mga criminal ang Senado.Linisin na yan once and for all!

Diocese of Cubao Bishop Elias Ayuban Jr. "kinamusta" si Pia Cayetano. The good bishop takes Pia on a trip down memory lane in the murderous Drug war.

Happy and inspired to see that some of the youth today are becoming more discerning.

[Dino Singson de Leon @iamdinodeleon]

We have a blasphemous narcissist as Senate President whose unafraid to lie if only to block accountability and remain in power.

A real manifestation that evil is amongst us.
