According to data from the DBM, a presidential adviser is an “equivalent rank,” so Larry Gadon, like members of the Senate and House of Representatives, will be assigned Salary Grade 31, or a base salary of P278,434 every month. | @AdrianINQ https://t.co/exy8kCtzc1

Gentle Hands faces more legal action on Friday as a single mother has filed a kidnapping case against the orphanage.

The 27-year old alleges that Gentle Hands refused return her one-year old son whom she placed in the orphanage's temporary care early this year. @inquirerdotnet

@inquirerdotnet The advocates were led by retired general and former DICT undersecretary Eliseo Rio.

Rio believes that some 20 million votes tallied in the last hour of the May 9, 2022 elections are actually non-existent, sent to Comelec’s servers via “illegal private networks.” @inquirerdotnet
