Love you, Lola. Happy Birthday.

How do you catch a fish? By its own mouth.
Marcoleta himself literally admitted to taking campaign donations from his "friends" for his senatorial bid, only to turn around and declare a big fat ZERO on his SOCE!
And now he’s out here trying to play the victim? The audacity is audacious!
Tortured, stabbed, faces burned and nilagyan ng bato ang katawan para hindi lumutang - they did these INSIDE an INC Chapel. Taenaaaa ang hayop. Demonyo yung gumawa
'GUSTO MONG MAMATAY?'
Kawawang rider hinarang ng mga nag-rally na taga-INC tapos ninakaw yung susi ng motor niya. Nung nagreklamo siya, pinagmumura pa tapos pinagbantaan na papatayin.
Ganito ba talaga kayo, mga kapatid? May rumespondeng pulis pero wala ring nagawa. Mga perwisyo kayo sa Pilipinas.

‘PRESO PARA SA MGA BATA, PERO TAKAS PARA KAY BATO?’
Akbayan Party-list President Rafaela David slammed Sen. Robin Padilla after he renewed his push for a bill seeking to lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility to 10 following the Tacloban shooting incident, citing his alleged role in helping Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa escape from the Senate premises.

OBSESSION director Curry Barker says he’d like to turn the One Wish Willow into a limited series.
“Each episode is a different wish that goes completely off the rails… Maybe I’ll direct the pilot episode, and then invite other filmmakers to put their own spin on it.”

A Gentle Reminder :
Magnitude 7.2 earthquake will instantly collapse Metro Manila's bridges and flyovers, cutting the capital into four isolated islands and blocking emergency responders.
To prevent total paralysis, the MMDA’s Oplan Metro Yakal Plus divides the metropolis into four independent, self-sustaining quadrants, each equipped with its own pre-designated master evacuation camp and emergency field hospital.
THE NORTH AND EAST QUADRANTS: THE HEALTHCARE HUB
The North Quadrant serves as the capital's primary healthcare refuge, encompassing Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, San Juan, and Mandaluyong. If you are caught in these areas, you must look for open ground away from dense commercial zones.
The designated primary evacuation camps for this sector are the sprawling Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) Golf Course and the expansive UP Diliman Grounds, while emergency field hospitals will be rapidly deployed at both the VMMC compound and the Quezon Memorial Circle.
Meanwhile, the East Quadrant acts as the high-risk Valley Response Zone, covering Pasig City and Marikina City—the two localities directly hugging the active fault line.
Because of their extreme proximity to the epicenter, residents here must immediately route to Marikina Boys Town, the Red Cross Compound in Marikina, or the ULTRA (PhilSports Complex) in Pasig, with emergency medical operations centralized at the LRT-2 Santolan Station Depot.
THE WEST AND SOUTH QUADRANTS: COASTAL REFUGES AND FINANCIAL SAFETY NETS
For those located near Manila Bay, the West Quadrant covers the City of Manila, Malabon, and Navotas. This dense, historic sector relies heavily on the Intramuros Golf Course to serve as both its primary evacuation camp and emergency field hospital.
The thick, historical stone walls and wide-open greens of the golf course provide a much-needed structural buffer zone, keeping evacuating crowds safe from collapsing high-rises and crowded residential blocks.
On the other hand, the South Quadrant covers the sprawling financial and residential districts of Makati, Taguig (BGC), Pasay, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, and the municipality of Pateros.
If the disaster strikes while you are in this sector, the primary evacuation sanctuary and field hospital operations will be entirely centralized at the Villamor Air Base Golf Course in Pasay City.
STAY IN THE QUADRANT
When "The Big One" hits, forget going home. Roads will be impassable, bridges severed, and falling debris lethal. If you are working in BGC but live in Quezon City, do not cross town. Your absolute survival mandate is to stay put and head to your current sector's nearest evacuation point—like Villamor Air Base for the South.
REMEMBER THESE PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
The MMDA’s decision to utilize golf courses like Veterans, Intramuros, and Villamor as primary disaster hubs is brilliant. In a catastrophic urban earthquake, the number one cause of casualties is not the ground shaking itself but falling debris—collapsing concrete walls, shattering glass facades, and snapping overhead power lines.
Golf courses are massive, wide-open green spaces completely devoid of potential debris Furthermore, these terrains provide perfect, clear zones for military helicopters to land safely, allowing emergency personnel to drop off critical medical supplies and airlift the severely injured when all roads are blocked.
Surviving "The Big One" requires clear-headed planning, not panic. Understanding Oplan Metro Yakal Plus provides the advantage needed during the first 72 hours of complete isolation. Memorizing these four independent quadrants and their open-air assembly points is key to survival.
Please share this information with your family and friends.

Handa kaming magtrabaho, pero ayon sa Senate rules, kung wala ang SP o walang quorum, walang session.
We wait until the SP returns and fulfills his sworn duty.
Madaming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan. Nanganganib na naman ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa nalalapit na super El Niño.
Ang gobyernong hindi kayang sundin ang sarili nitong patakaran, hindi kayang solusyunan ang problema ng mga magsasaka, mangingisda, manggagawa, at ordinaryong pamilyang Pilipino.
Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.
SOLID BLOC 11: THIS IS NOT SENATE INDEPENDENCE BUT A BOYCOTT OF DUTY
The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.
They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.
Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.
Ang Senado ay hindi pag-aari ng iisang may hawak ng gavel. Institusyon ito ng taumbayan at napakadaming mahalagang panukala ang nabibinbin dahil sa drama ng mayorya.
Important measures were left hanging because of the majority’s boycott, including the Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers, the Anti-Hospital Detention Bill, the confirmation of generals before the Commission on Appointments and the bills granting Philippine citizenship to Bennie Boatwright III and Matthew James Ramos.
Let us call this for what it is: the claim that this is about Senate independence is false, because what happened today was about the rule of law, public accountability and a lawful process before the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan that no senator, no bloc and no presiding officer controls.
This is a boycott because of the arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, and the public should not be asked to believe another convenient line from a leadership that has repeatedly twisted the truth.
Today was a step toward accountability in a controversy that the public has long demanded action on, and after years of people asking why nothing was happening in flood control investigations, it is unacceptable to suddenly call the rule of law an attack on the Senate.
Is Senate President Alan Cayetano now questioning the rule of law?
Sa totoo lang, ang gusto nila ay kampihan, hindi prinsipyo. Gusto nila sumama kami sa boycott, patahimikin ang Senado at gamitin ang minority para manatili ang Senate President sa puwesto habang iniiwasan ang tunay na test of numbers sa floor.
This may be the first time in decades that Senate work stopped because the presiding officer himself refused to work, because even during typhoons and the height of the pandemic, work was suspended only because of necessity or because systems still had to be set up, not because the leadership chose a boycott of duty.
The public has every right to ask whether SP Cayetano is repeating what he did in the House of Representatives, when questions were raised about a leader refusing to step aside, refusing to convene and holding up proceedings when the numbers were no longer certain.
The question now is just as serious: will they do this again for the next two session days, and will they keep the Senate idle simply to avoid facing the numbers on the floor?
The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.
And lastly, we call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.
‘ANG SENADO AY HINDI DAPAT MAGING KANLUNGAN NG ABSENTEEISM AT PAGTATAKIPAN’
READ: Mayors Vico Sotto, Joy Belmonte, and Benjamin Magalong, along with other local chief executives of the group Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), issued a statement on the recent developments in the Senate involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.
“Hindi dapat pinoprotektahan ang isang halal na opisyal na umiiwas sa kanyang mga responsibilidad habang patuloy na tumatanggap ng sahod mula sa taumbayan,” it reads. | 📸: M4GG/Facebook
🚨Marcoleta’s Loophole Just Backfired: The P75M Blindspot is Now a Plunder Case! 💸
1. *Akala niya yata nakalusot na siya nung ni-clear siya ng Comelec,* but Marcoleta’s P75 million "technicality" just blew up in his face!
By admitting he accepted millions from private donors *before* the official campaign period to escape an election offense, he practically handed the Ombudsman the ultimate blueprint for a **Plunder case (RA 7080)**.
Talk about playing yourself! 🤡
2. The legal math here is absolutely brutal because *lahat ng elements, swak na swak*:
**Public Officer:** He was an incumbent congressman holding major legislative power.
**The Loot:** A massive ₱75 million total—well over the ₱50 million plunder threshold—split between Mike Defensor (₱30M), Joseph Espiritu (₱25M), and Aristotle Viray (₱20M).
**The Overt Acts:** Repeatedly pocketing multi-million "donations" from private individuals isn't "generosity," *gurl*— that is textbook indirect bribery and a violation of PD 46.
3. What makes this so deliciously ironic is that the evidence is ironclad dahil galing mismo sa kanya!
Investigators don't even have to dig hard; they have his own Verified Position Paper admitting to the ₱75M, the Donor’s Tax Returns, bank slips, and his own loud mouth in television interviews.
4. This is a massive warning shot to every traditional politician trying to manipulate their SOCEs.
You can't just declare "zero donations" to the Comelec and think you're safe.
If you're a public official accepting sacks of millions in the shadows, it’s no longer an election loophole, but it’s a one-way ticket to a plunder conviction.
Get your🍿ready!
Ganitong criticism din yung binato sa BINI at Ben&Ben recently dahil sa pagtanggap nila ng gig sa festival sa Bicol.
Una, it's just a job.
Pangalawa, parte ng promotions ng LGUs ang mga festival so pinopondohan talaga 'yan to boost local tourism at economy. Walang masamang tumanggap ng gig dahil di naman artist ang nag-decide kung magkano ang alotted funds diyan--- na hindi rin naman ilegal o ninakaw btw.
If may concern sila sa masyadong malaking budget para sa event, I think people are barking at the wrong tree dahil pwede naman i-direct 'yan sa mismong LGU at hindi sa artists na naghahanap-buhay lang nang patas.
My take on this:
TIME TO STOP THIS MINDSET. Napaka-dangerous ng culture of moral absolutism where one decision suddenly invalidates YEARS of advocacy and work. Hindi po yan call for accountability. That’s purity politics.
Watch @ZyannAmbrosio’s exclusive report. Here, NBI agents were at the GSIS side.
In our interview with OSAA Head Gen Aplasca, he claims there were NBI agents who were at the “edge of senate property” which led them to firing warning shots leading to an exchange.
The CCTV footage will help reveal the truth.
