tbh, sa sobrang laki ng nakukuha nila sa mga tao dapat may libreng check up na para sa lahat. May discount sa dental at vision care, professional services at medical devices katulad ng mga wheelchair, hearing aid, etc.
The gov is weak in supporting agriculture. Thailand now has better cultivation programs for UBE.
If gov stays like this, itโll be macapuno all over again. Macapuno (the actual coconut variety) is more accessible in Thailand than PH, despite macapuno being a Filipino discovery.
Being part of a generation that was told โWikipedia is not a sourceโ makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.
NOT FROM MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA
Contrary to Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's claim, it was not members of the media who applauded and cheered for him during his press conference at the Senate on Thursday, but rather his own staff and several guests in attendance.
"First time akong napalakpakan ng media, walang bayad 'yon," he said after claiming that he had managed to unite various political groups, which he alleged are now aligned with the administration.
Cayetano also maintained that he remains Senate president, despite the recognition by Malacaรฑang and the House of Representatives of Senator Win Gatchalianโs leadership as acting Senate president. | via Malou Escudero/Pilipino Star Ngayon
The Constitution is clear and does not leave room for interpretation.
The Senate is composed of 24 Senators, and a majority of 13 constitutes a quorum to do business.
13 votes to constitute a quorum.
13 votes to elect officers.
A void election cannot create valid authority.
On Cayetano insisting that the Senate election done by the new Majority isnโt legal, Usec Claire clearly explains why it is constitutional and follows jurisprudence.
The way she explains is so simple, so clear, so logical. Ang galing ni baklaaa

STATEMENT OF FORMER SENATE PRESIDENTS ON SENATE BROUHAHA
We, former Presidents of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines, speak at this difficult moment out of our shared moral duty to the institution we once had the honor to lead.
Those of us who once held the gavel know that the highest duty of a Senate President is not to cling to office but to leave the institution stronger, more respected, and more firmly bound to the rule of law than when he or she found it.
We call on all incumbent senators, regardless of bloc or affiliation, to de-escalate public rhetoric that demeans the Senate and weakens confidence in it; to confine their disagreements to the floor and to the proper forums, where the arguments and the votes can be scrutinized by the public; and to prioritize the urgent work before the Senate (the economy, food and energy security, and justice) over internal maneuvering.
We urge all members of the chamber to resolve this crisis swiftly, within the bounds of the Constitution, the rules, and long-standing practice. The country cannot afford an unstable Senate at a time of mounting economic pressures, security threats, and growing public distrust in institutions.
Pasensya naโt medyo mahaba ang video, pero importante ito.
Bakit nga ba PEKE ang โAnti-Political Dynastyโ Bill na pinasa ng Kogreso nitong linggo? At higit sa lahat, ano ang pwede pa nating gawin para magkaroon ng batas na tunay na magwawakas sa mga dinastiya?
