Today we remember the man who chose country over self. He did not enrich himself while in power. He led a simple life, lived to serve. He is revered even in death.
Rest in peace President Noy. Thank you for your selfless service to the country.
There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.
MAY PANANAGUTAN ANG MGA MENOR DE EDAD NA NASASANGKOT SA KRIMEN
Marami pa ring maling impormasyon tungkol sa Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.
May pananagutan. May proseso. May mga intervention upang matiyak na hindi na ito mauulit.
May pananagutan din ang mga magulang. May tungkulin naman ang pamahalaan—sa pamamagitan ng DSWD at iba pang ahensya—na magbigay ng suporta sa mga biktima, kanilang mga pamilya.
Iligal ang pakawalan ang menor de edad na nasangkot sa krimen at may parusa sa mga gagawa nito.
Ang tunay na hamon ay hindi ang pagpapakalat ng takot at disinformation, kundi ang ganap na pagpapatupad ng batas at pagtiyak na may hustisya, accountability, at proteksyon para sa lahat ng bata.

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.
Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit ginagamit na dahilan ng mga mayorya sa Senado ang dahilan na milyon ang bumoto kay Bato at Jinggoy kaya tila dapat hindi sila litisin. So kung milyon ang bumoto sa isang politiko pero nagnakaw o pumatay ng tao, dapat abswelto?

𝗡𝗢𝗢𝗡, sa gitna ng COVID-19 pandemic at national emergency, pinayagan ang videoconferencing sa ilalim ng Senate Rules na nakaangkla sa force majeure. May mga panukalang inihain kaugnay ng participation ni Sen. Leila de Lima, kabilang ang P.S. Res. No. 658 at P.S. Res. No. 51.

Yung mga mere suspects nung fake war on drugs, buhay mismo yung kinuha sa kanila.
Tapos itong mga suspect na to, papayagang bumoto sa mga issues online? Eh yung isa nga ang tagal na ayaw pumasok.
No thanks.
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.
When De Lima asked to participate online in 2021, she was merely invoking for equal treatment as other Senators were also convening online.
What the Senate Majority is now attempting to allow is for Bato to be given special treatment when all other Senators are convening in person.
De Lima was facing her case. Bato is evading his.
MAGKAIBA SILA.
Friendly reminder that while UNJUSTLY incarcerated, Senator Leila DeLima was NEVER given the opportunity to vote remotely yet she authored HUNDREDS of bills, resolutions and dispatches BY HAND including 4Ps(!), the Magna Carta for the Poor and the Prison Reform Act.
if this is the lengths they would do, just to keep duterte’s cronies protected, just imagine the clownery we’ll be seeing at sara’s impeachment trial in the senate soon.
it all boils down to May 2028 elections. LONG SHOT ANG 16 VOTES TO CONVICT.
MAGPAREHISTRO NA KAYONG LAHAT ‼️
