Akbayan Party-list Rep. Percival Cendaรฑa on Thursday warned that Chinaโs alleged consideration of retaliatory measures against the Philippines could further escalate tensions between the two countries, following a report that Beijing was weighing sanctions and possible cuts in oil and fertilizer supplies.
โIt is very disappointing that the Chinese government would contemplate an inordinately harsh response to Filipinos' calls for accountability from a Chinese diplomatic official,โ Cendaรฑa says.
โWe should also take note that these kinds of utterances not only escalate tensions between our two countries but also embolden cynical political actors in the Philippines who are willing to undermine our sovereignty to gain political power,โ he added.

Jing Quan, your tactics of intimidation and harassment are not working. Instead of silencing us, they only inspire more of us to rise, unite, and stand firm in defending our countryโs sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Last year, Akbayan called to ZERO OUT the Unprogrammed Appropriations. The Supreme Courtโs latest decision is therefore a welcome development towards transparency and accountability in the national budget.
Nakita natin kung paano ginamit ang unprogrammed appropriations upang pondohan ang flood control at iba pang duplicate infrastructure projects. The questionable Congressional increase in lump-sum allocations, coupled with the Executiveโs sole discretion to release these funds, creates serious concerns over its potential for abuse.
Huwag na natin payagang patuloy na abusuhin ang kaban ng bayan. Our public funds should never fall prey to corruption.

HOUSE LAWMAKERS CONDEMN CHINESE AMBASSADOR'S THREATS AGAINST PHILIPPINES
Akbayan Reform Bloc, kasama ang ilang kongresista, nanawagan sa Pangulo na manindigan laban sa patuloy na agresyon ng China at i-consider ang expulsion kay Chinese Ambassador Jing Quan.
The Philippines must never be cowed into silence in the face of such arrogance. Hindi dapat manatili sa bansa ang isang foreign envoy na patuloy na nagpapakita ng kawalang-galang sa ating soberanya.

We are deeply troubled by Chinese Ambassador Jing Quan's remarks invoking China's ability to use force against the Philippines, as well as the Chinese Embassy's dismissive attitudes toward Filipinos' sentiments. Such statements are not only deeply concerning but also reinforce the pattern of intimidation, aggression and disrespect that the Philippines has long faced from China.
The Embassy's undiplomatic language taunting our government to declare the Chinese Ambassador as persona non grata does little to encourage serious dialogue between two sovereign nations. Instead, it reflects their position that our country should simply accept China's threats and submit to its demands.
The Philippines must not be cowed into silence in the face of such arrogance.
We call on the President to stand firm against further Chinese aggression and to give serious consideration to our appeal for the expulsion of Ambassador Jing Quan. The Ambassador has clearly overstayed his welcome. We should no longer host a a foreign envoy whose statements and conduct have shown disregard for our country's sovereignty.

Akbayan Partylist Rep. Perci Cendaรฑa questions the โanti-Chinaโ remarks against politicians standing up for Philippine sovereignty and Filipinos facing bullying in the West Philippine Sea.
โKapag ba naninindigan para sa ating soberanya at sa mga kababayan nating binu-bully sa West Philippine Sea, anti-China na agad? Hindi ba puwedeng pro-Filipino muna?โ Cendaรฑa says.
Aniya, hindi lang sa salita ang mga banta ng China. Patunay rito ang agresyon ng Chinese forces laban sa ating mga kababayang nasa frontline, sibilyan man o ang ating mga Coast Guard personnel.

CENDAรA RENEWS CALL TO EXPEL CHINESE AMBASSADOR
Akbayan Partylist Rep. Perci Cendaรฑa renews his call for the expulsion of Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Jing Quan, arguing that his conduct is incompatible with the role of a diplomat.
Speaking on #AgendaWeekend, Cendaรฑa says the Philippines needs a representative who respects diplomatic rules and human rights, amid the ongoing diplomatic row over the ambassadorโs remarks and the Chinese Embassyโs challenge to lawmakers to declare him persona non grata.

China no longer speaks, acts, and behaves like an equal. It conducts itself arrogantly as a superior above its own neighbors. It uses force against fishermen inside Philippine waters, it answers diplomatic protests with veiled threats, and it believes it is beyond the rule of international law. China is not an equal because, like many imperialist countries before it, it believes it is superior.
If the Chinese embassy is surprised why a former colonized nation such as the Philippines is allergic to the imperialist ambitions of a fellow Asian country, I will quote former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping's own warning against his country's behavior:
โIf one day China should change her color and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.โ - Deng Xiaoping speech at the United Nations, April 10, 1974

Isinusulong ni Akbayan party-list Rep. Perci Cendaรฑa ang pagbibigay ng care allowance sa mga pamilya at caregiver ng mga batang nasa autism spectrum sa ilalim ng House Bill No. 3198 o Autism Care Act.
Layunin ng panukala na matulungan ang mga magulang at caregiver na kailangang maglaan ng buong oras sa pag-aalaga sa kanilang anak, lalo na sa mga nangangailangan ng masinsinang suporta at therapy.
โThis will be groundbreaking kasi first time natin kikilalanin na that care work is really work. And in the case of families with a member who is in the spectrum, ay totoong care work siya,โ pagbibigay-diin ni Cendaรฑa.

2022 noong huli kong mabisita si Ate Sion. Retired na siya noon sa pag-uunyon at umuwi na sa Albay. Inabutan ko siya diyan sa bahay niya na nagbe-basic orientation seminar (BOS) ng halos 30 bagong myembro ng @AkbayanParty. Sabi nya, yung every weekend na BOS at kutsinta na pameryenda ang ambag nya sa pagpapalakas ng partido. May sakit na siya noon pero hindi parin tumitigil.
