Martin Scorsese spent nearly 30 years bringing Silence (2016) to life. A meditative, haunting masterpiece, it traces two priests in Japan confronting faith, doubt, and the unbearable weight of silence.
this is the megachurch that used to (and perhaps still does, but more quietly) host conversion therapy camps for queer people, spoke out against the sogie bill, and whose pastors were named in the panama papers scandal. of course they’re hosting a bullshit event like this
“Ang mga humusga — 18 senador — ang mga Hudas… ang kanilang mga kilos ay balasubas. Sila ang mga Pilato na may kapangyarihan… ngunit naghugas ng kamay.”
“Sila ay mga modernong Pariseo… mga bagong Herodes.”
Fr. Flavie Villanueva of Project Paghilom condemns the Senate’s decision to remand the Articles of Impeachment, likening senators to biblical figures complicit in injustice.
Villanueva lamented the erosion of truth and justice: “Binaboy ang buhay, pinatay ang naghahanapbuhay, binastos ang Saligang Batas… pinili ang kamatayan at si Barabas.”

MAKABAYAN BLOC CONDEMNS SENATE'S unconstitutional return of Impeachment Articles
Calls for an indignation rally at the Senate tomorrow
We, the Makabayan bloc in Congress, vehemently condemn the Senate impeachment court's unprecedented and unconstitutional decision to return the articles of impeachment to the House of Representatives.
This brazen move represents a dangerous departure from constitutional procedure and sets a perilous precedent that undermines impeachment as a means for exacting accountability from the highest officials. The Senate's action is not only legally baseless but also a clear abdication of its constitutional duty to try impeachment cases.
"Ang ginawa ng Senado ay walang kapantay na paglabag sa ating Saligang Batas. Hindi pwedeng ibalik sa Kamara ang mga artikulo ng impeachment dahil tapos na ang papel namin dito. Ang responsibilidad ng Senado ay husgahan ang kaso, hindi ibalik ito. Bilang co-equal na kamara, wala itong karapatang pagpaliwanagin ang Kongreso sa prosesong humantong sa impeachment ng Bise Presidente," said ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro.
The Constitution is explicit in its provisions regarding impeachment proceedings. Once the House of Representatives votes to impeach and transmits the articles to the Senate, the upper chamber's role is to conduct a trial, not to return the articles as if they were defective legislation.
"This unconstitutional maneuver will only further inflame the burgeoning outrage of the Filipino people who are already witnessing the systematic erosion of democratic processes under this administration," stated GWP Rep. Arlene Brosas.
We view this action as part of a broader pattern of institutional manipulation designed to protect those in power from accountability. The Senate's decision effectively nullifies the House's constitutional prerogative to impeach and denies the Filipino people their right to see justice served through proper constitutional channels.
Ang mga mamamayang Pilipino ay hindi tanga. Nakikita nila kung paano ginagamit ang mga institusyon para protektahan ang mga corrupt na opisyal. Ang ganitong klaseng political maneuvering ay lalo lang magpapainit ng galit ng taumbayan
," emphasized Kabataan Rep. Raoul Manuel.
The Makabayan bloc calls on all patriotic Filipinos to reject this constitutional travesty. We demand that the Senate fulfill its sworn duty to uphold the Constitution and proceed with the impeachment trial as mandated by law.
We also call on our colleagues in both chambers of Congress to stand firm. Attaining justice and accountability depends on our collective resolve to defend it against those who would manipulate it for their own ends.
"The Filipino people deserve better than this mockery of accounatbility,. Kaya nananawagan kami sa mga kababayan nating para sa katarungan na sumama sa protesta bukas sa Senado," the bloc concluded.

idk but with all the discourse concerning bisexuality lately, it feels like pride is becoming less about advocating and protesting,, and more about policing people who don’t "love" the way you expect them to :/
i don't know anything about this woman besides her courageous and ceaseless support for the children of palestine in the face of an angry audience and that's enough for me to say she is a hero to me
Lagi't lagi para sa bayan. 'Yan ang Makabayan. ❤️🔥
Hindi natatapos sa halalan ang laban–sama-sama tayong kumilos para tunay na kalayaan at demokrasya sa paaralan, lansangan, sakahan, at pangisdaan!

Despite the fact that I campaigned and voted for Kabataan, I yearn (for lack of a better word) for Bayan Muna.
Here's Ka Bel, Former Bayan Muna and Anakpawis Rep., on farmers' demands for genuine land reform. Towards the end you can see him and Ka Daning marching together.
It’s been more than a day since polls have closed. Pwede nang huminga, kabataan.
Sa lahat ng bumoto, nangampanya, at sumuporta, tagumpay tayo sa pagpapanatili at pagpapalakas ng boses sa kabataan sa Kongreso! ❤️🔥
Kita-kits sa Batasan at lansangan! #LabanKabataan 💙
