Dear Senators especially dun sa mga walang modo at nanggugulo lang sa Senado para magdrama, habang nagaaway kayo dyan, ito yung mga Pilipino na umaasa sana sa inyo para pagaanin yung buhay.

Our last video prod for the PY and definitely my last produced video for the V.

Congrats, Class of 2026. 🍃

GO FORTH, CLASS OF 2026! 🖤💛⭐️

You came here with dreams. You’ll leave with a story to tell.

To the Class of 2026, may you never lose sight of what moved you to dream in the first place.

#Editorial: A presidential bid under the cloud of unresolved constitutional complaints risks sending a dangerous message: that political ambition can outpace accountability; that public office can be escalated even when public trust is strained.

#Editorial: We should be angry because this is not mere inefficiency—it is premeditated betrayal.

[The Varsitarian @varsitarianust]

#Editorial: They masquerade as guardians of the nation, yet in truth they are leeches and parasites, sucking the lifeblood out of every honest taxpayer.
