UPDATE: The International Criminal Court has finalized the rules and timeline for the trial of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, scheduling the formal reading of charges for November 30, 2026.
In a newly released directive, Trial Chamber III laid out rules to ensure a "fair and expeditious trial," requiring the prosecution to submit its detailed evidence list by August 31, followed by the defense response on October 30. #DuterteinICC | via @Beatrice_Cuadra
Now the public saw Pia Cayetano, rude, condescending tone, arrogant a primadonna crybaby naging Kanto girl siya,.A woman version of Robin Padilla. Taguig it is time to reject the Cayetano siblings. Pls make them answerable to the public w/ accountability .
Pia Cayetano visibly irate, losing every sense of calm and composure. Her behavior reeks of entitlement, and it betrays her real values and exposes the kind of politician she truly is. Nakakadiring trapo.
THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:
Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.
WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!
We should remind our pasahod and palamuning si @piacayetano na wala siyang karapatang mag-inaso to any working senator after niyang mag-absent nang mag-absent. Pinili niyang maging tagasunod ng kapatid niyang gaya niyang inutil. She should tone down the attitude.
ANONG BASURA NA EBIDENSYA YAN NA MAY PICTURE?
Puro pasaring. Puro alegasyon. Puro palabas.
At dahil dinamay niyo pa ang pamilya ko, makakatikim kayo ng hindi pasaring, alegasyon, o palabas na kaso sa korte. Pananagutan ninyo ang paninirang ginagawa niyo.
STATEMENT ON SUITCASES
Puro pasaring. Puro alegasyon. Puro palabas.
Gusto lang mantsahan ang naiulat na pag-upo ko bilang chairperson ng Senate Blue Ribbon Subcommittee na mag-iimbestiga sa flood-control scam.
Wala ni katiting na basehan ang mga tangkang pagdungis sa aking pagkatao ng mga nagpa-presscon tungkol sa mga maletang kaugnay sa bilyon-bilyong pisong ninakaw sa kaban ng bayan.
At dahil dinamay niyo pa ang pamilya ko, makakatikim kayo ng hindi pasaring, alegasyon, o palabas na kaso sa korte. Pananagutan ninyo ang paninirang ginagawa niyo.
Anong basura na ebidensya yan na may picture? Na isasama ang buong pamilya para tumanggap ng suhol tapos mapapapicture pa sa mga tao pagkatapos? Ginagago ninyo ang taumbayan.
Walang kwenta. Kagaguhan. Kasinungalingan. Humanda kayo sa mga kasong isasampa laban sa inyo.
Sen. Joel Villanueva says he would attend a special session of Congress that may be called by the President: Sa pagkakataon na magkaroon ng special session, tutuparin po natin ang ating sagradong tungkulin sa ilalim ng ating Saligang Batas. We will be there. | @MAgerINQ
This makes everything sadder. Sobrang hopeful nung bata at mga magulang niya last week habang hinahatid siya sa airport. Mangingisda ang mga magulang, naging top HS prospect, at susubukan sanang makaahon sa hirap.
Kapag naaksidente ang bus at may na-injure o namatay na pasahero, hinuhuli agad ang driver. He is held accountable for what happened. ‘Di tinatanggap ang line na, “Aksidente eh. Walang may gusto ng nangyari.”
Pero bus driver ‘yan. Not some influential English-speaking mentor.
The safety, security, and welfare of Senate personnel remain our top priority, following reports of possible threats within and around the Senate premises.
We have directed all Senate Secretariat and Senate Proper offices to adopt a work-from-home arrangement and implement heightened security measures in response to ongoing security concerns affecting the Senate complex from June 10 to 11.
Hindi tayo puwedeng maging kampante. Kung may intelligence information tungkol sa banta, dapat itong seryosohin. Lahat ng banta ay seseryosohin natin.
These measures are precautionary and intended to preserve peace and order amid reports from the National Bureau of Investigation regarding a credible threat to the Senate.
We have also directed the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms to immediately enhance security protocols. This includes continuous security sweeps, increased surveillance, stricter screening procedures, and other measures to safeguard Senators, Senate officials, and staff.
A temporary no-visitor policy will likewise be enforced to ensure the safety of all personnel within the Senate complex.
We remain committed to protecting our employees’ welfare, upholding professional integrity, and ensuring that no personnel acting in good faith will be subjected to intimidation, retaliation, or unwarranted administrative action.
Ang trabaho para sa bansa ay magpapatuloy — ligtas, maayos, at naaayon sa batas.
TINGNAN: Makikita sa official website ng Senado na nakatala bilang Senate President Pro Tempore si Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian habang si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano ay nakatala naman bilang Senator.
Kinilala ng Malacañang at ng Kamara ang pagkahalal kay Gatchalian bilang Senate President Pro Tempore at pagkatalaga bilang acting Senate President kasunod ng sesyon ng Senado nitong June 3, ngunit iginiit ng grupo ni Sen. Cayetano na siya pa rin ang Senate President.
Samantala, nakatala naman bilang Majority Leader si Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri.
