Westerners are always so "The PH is so beautiful! So hospitable! Cheap and affordable!" until Filos push back against gentrification, and then they're out here mocking us for our english, our illiteracy crisis, etc. Of course you only like us when we're of service to you!
One thing is clear tonight: the Duterte-allied Senate bloc is willing to plunge the institution into chaos and to weaponise fear, all to shield one of their own from accountability.
“We, Senators, are mere stewards of the Senate. The Senate belongs to the Filipino people, so no one gets to act like they own the place” - Sen Risa
GANDA.
Bato escaped.
Zaldy is at large.
Martin is unscathed.
Sara will not be convicted.
Bongbong doesn’t have the courage.
Joel, Jinggoy and Chiz are all back in power.
Liza isn’t some sort of political mastermind.
No one is going to save us kundi tayo tayo lang din.
I just checked the decree penalizing Obstruction of Justice (Pres. Decree 1829) and apparently when committed by public officers it carries the penalty of perpetual disqualification from public office…
Someone has to be made accountable for Bato’s escape.
No less than the DILG Secretary and PNP Chief entered the senate building last night to secure the senators.
The public was assured last night Bato was in the “5th foor, in his room, resting”. Bato’s lawyer showed a video last night of Bato supposedly in the senate.
The senate building should’ve been secured last night - no one in, no one out.
We need answers. How did Bato escape? Who helped him?

They killed Ali Khamenei with perfect aim but, “unintentionally” bomb hospitals, schools, refugee camps, places of worship, food and water supplies, journalists, women and children. For 2 years and 5 months. Straight.
If this were China 🇨🇳, the western media would be screaming about authoritarianism and clamoring for sanctions or military intervention.
But this isn’t China. It’s Columbia University.
