ateneo cannot issue preventive suspension against tab baldwin coz they tolerated that boot camp for almost a decade. kahit may muntik na malunod hindi pa rin nadala. naging casualties si rene and divine ng bulok na tradisyon ng ambt. give their families justice and accountability
@moralv_ girl trust me!! choose katip or maginhawa area… super convenient as a UP student.
i even suggest yung malapit sa katip terminals (Xavierville, hawthorne heights, etc.)
Your collegiate era may not have gone well, but we’re hoping (and manifesting) that your pro era helps you redeem yourself and show everyone what you’re truly capable of.
Congratulations Ela Raagas!

'D*MN YOUR DAMDAMIN'
UPDATE: Sen. Ping Lacson fires back at Sen. Rodante Marcoleta’s remarks over the Senate minority’s supposed failure to protest after SP Alan Peter Cayetano was allegedly shouted at by DILG Sec. Jonvic Remulla during Monday’s arrest of Sen. Jinggoy Estrada.
SEN. MARCOLETA AND THE PROBLEM WITH RULES, NUMBERS, AND STRATEGY
Fresh from being corrected by Senator Tito Sotto on the Senate rules, Senator Marcoleta offered another remarkable lesson and this time, not on parliamentary procedure but on the difference between knowing a rule and understanding how it actually works.
He claimed that senators who walked out could have been arrested and compelled to return because the Senate rules allow it.
He presents the majority's decision not to trigger the arrest as an act of restraint, even magnanimity.
That is an interesting claim.
But before taking credit for not arresting the senators, there is a more basic question:
Who exactly was going to order the arrest?
The Senate can only conduct business if it has a quorum. Without a quorum, the body cannot validly proceed with its business.
And here lies the problem.
If senators walked out in sufficient numbers to deprive the chamber of a quorum, then the majority no longer had the numbers to proceed. No quorum means no meaningful business. No quorum means no votes. No votes means no practical mechanism to exercise the powers he invoked.
Which brings us to the second and more revealing problem: strategy.
The issue before the Senate was electronic voting.
The objective was to persuade enough senators to support it.
So how exactly does threatening to arrest the very senators whose votes you need advance that objective?
Politics is ultimately a numbers game. If you need votes, your task is to build a majority. You persuade, negotiate and build consensus.
You do not threaten to jail the people whose support you seek to obtain. That is not strategy. The arrest would have been a Pyrrhic victory.
Even assuming the power existed, exercising it would only harden the opposition and deepen the division. Pray tell, how then does that make achieving the vote more attainable?
What Senator Marcoleta’s statement reveals is not strength. It reveals two fundamental misunderstandings.
First, a misunderstanding of parliamentary reality. Rules do not operate independently of quorum and votes.
Second, a misunderstanding of political strategy. The purpose was to pass electronic voting, not to demonstrate that the majority can arrest senators.
Arresting the senators would not have brought the majority closer to passing electronic voting. It would have moved them farther away.
And that is why this episode reflects not merely a misunderstanding of the rules but a misunderstanding of strategy itself.
Ironically, in presenting oneself to be strong, Senator Marcoleta unwittingly revealed the impotence of the majority’s position. For all the power he claimed they possessed, he could not explain how threatening to arrest senators would secure the votes needed to pass electronic voting.
In the end, power was never the problem. The problem was persuasion.

Hindi na po insulto ang “bakla”, “bading”, o “bayot” ngayon. Bagkus, isa na dapat itong badge if honour.
Kung gusto mo insultuhin ang isang tao, tawagin mong “DDS”.
I remember our law profs saying:
"If the law is on your side, pound on the law
If the facts are on your side, pound on the facts
If neither is on your side, pound on the table!"
