Maris Diokno, sister of Atty. Chel Diokno, brilliantly said in a commencement speech:
“Ang karangalan, halimbawa, ay hindi nanggagaling sa katungkulan, kahit pa man "Your Honor" ang tawag sa nakaupo sa poder.
Sa totoo, marami sa binabating "your honor" ay wala talagang honor. Honor is not built into the position. We all know that appointments and elections to office do not always yield the best or the most appropriately able.
So the position does not confer honor. You bring honor to the position not the other way around.”

Most people think they’re just decorative guards in funny uniforms.
But the truth?
They’re trained killers who’d take a bullet for the Pope—without blinking.
Let me show you what 99% of people miss about the Swiss Guard.

This is how you welcome a certain & important Religious Leader. With DECENCY & RESPECT no matter what beliefs you have in your system.
Hindi yung mumurahin mong hayop kang Rodrigo Duterte ka dahil na-stuck ka sa traffic na DEMONYO ka! HALANG ANG KALULUWA mo! HINDI KA TAO!!!
It’s easy to ignore injustice when it’s not ours to bear. But real change begins when we choose to speak up, even when we’re not the ones hurting. #INQspirations

VICE GANDA TO PUBLIC OFFICIALS: 'HINDI SAPAT NA BINIBIGYAN NATIN SILA NG PERA TUWING NAKIKITA NATIN SILA'
Unkabogable Phenomenal Box Office Superstar Vice Ganda expressed concerns about the state of public hospitals in the Philippines, emphasizing the gaps in healthcare despite the implementation of the Universal Health Care (UHC) program.
In a conversation with a contestant on It's Showtime on Thursday, January 2, Vice Ganda stated, "Ang problema, pag pumunta ka naman sa public hospital para i-avail mo 'yung karapatan mo na nasasalig doon sa Universal Health Care, wala naman silang pasilidad. Wala silang gamit. Pati nga kama sa ospital, eh kulang na."
Vice Ganda pointed out that despite UHC's aim to provide free medical care, the lack of essential facilities in public hospitals leaves patients with no choice but to turn to expensive private hospitals.
"Kaya 'yung perang napakalaki sa PhilHealth… masasayang 'yan kung hindi niyo ginagalaw, 'di ba? Gumawa kayo ng pasilidad. Magdagdag kayo ng pasilidad. Bumili kayo ng maraming kama at aparato na kakailanganin ng mga may sakit," Vice Ganda further added, urging government officials to better utilize the funds in PhilHealth to improve healthcare infrastructure and equipment.
On educating the public about UHC, Vice Ganda also shared, "Dapat alam ng mga Pilipino 'yung karapatan nila… Baka lang rin kasi hindi–dapat sa barangay level pa lang nae-explain na sa barangay kung ano 'yung karapatan nung tao."
The segment ended with a heartfelt plea: "Hindi sapat po ang 500 na ayuda tuwing makikita kayo. Kailangan niyong magpagawa ng mga pasilidad sa ospital."
Vice Ganda called for more substantial efforts to improve the healthcare system rather than relying solely on temporary financial aid.
