‘I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE IF I OFFENDED ANYONE FROM VP BINAY’S CAMP’
Atty. Michael Poa apologized to the camp of former vice president Jejomar Binay after he mentioned in today’s trial the existence of confidential funds in 2014.
“I have to apologize if I offended anyone from VP Binay’s camp. I didn’t want to drag his name into this,” he said on Tuesday.
Poa said that he shared the information to clarify that Sara Duterte is not the only vice president who had confidential funds.
“In fact, if you notice, kanina pinipilit kong hindi sabihin talaga kung sino ‘yung vice president. Sinabi ko lang na may pondo sa OVP noong 2014,” he added.

“MAY HAWAK DIN TAYO.”
Muling binanggit ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano si Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson sa kanyang Facebook livestream nitong Sabado, at iginiit na mayroon din umano silang hawak na impormasyon laban kay Lacson at iba pang personalidad.
“Let me assure you guys, whether we’re talking about Sen. Lacson o ’yung ibang nabanggit ko dati, may hawak din tayo pero sa tamang lugar at panahon.”
Hindi na niya idinetalye kung ano ang tinutukoy niyang impormasyon.
Matatandaang nauna nang nagsumite si Lacson sa Office of the Ombudsman ng mga ebidensiya kaugnay ng aniya’y “ghost” flood control projects sa Taguig City—mga alegasyong mariing itinanggi ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
'MALULUNOD KA SA KATOTOHANAN'
Tinanggihan ni Sen. Ping Lacson sa isang social media reply kaninang hapon, ang imbitasyon ni Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano kahapon na dumalaw sa Taguig upang personal na inspeksiyunin ang mga flood control project sa lungsod.
Sa panibagong Facebook Live ngayong Linggo, August 2, 2026, muling sinagot ni Cayetano si Lacson at sinabing “sa katotohanan” lamang daw ito malulunod.
Nag-ugat ang kanilang palitan dahil sa isinasagawang fact-finding probe ni Sen. Ping Lacson kaugnay ng mga umano’y iregularidad o “ghost projects” sa ilang flood control projects sa Taguig City.

OPEN LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE AND HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mga Ginoo at Ginang ng Gobyerno,
Enough of the polite lies. This letter is not wrapped in diplomacy, because you no longer deserve it. This is anger in ink, disgust in words, a mirror of the nation’s fury you pretend not to see.
Each of you swore an oath — not to yourselves, not to your dynasties, but to the people. Yet what have you delivered? Endless committee hearings that go nowhere, speeches bloated with hot air, budgets swallowed whole by ghost projects and cronies. You strut like statesmen but you crawl like parasites. You treat government not as a sacred duty, but as your personal ATM.
Look at Nepal. Look at Indonesia. Do you think their governments ever imagined their palaces shaking from the fists of their own people? They too believed they were untouchable, that their greed could drown out the roar of the streets. But rage, once ignored, becomes revolution. Hindi ninyo kayang takasan ang galit ng taong bayan.
And here? Floods swallowing communities, hospitals starved of supplies, classrooms crumbling, farmers buried in debt, workers gasping under the weight of skyrocketing prices — yet you bicker over pork, positions, and contracts. Every motorcade of black SUVs you ride in is a slap in the face of the millions forced to commute like sardines. Every peso stolen is food stolen from the mouths of children.
Mr. President, Senators, Representatives — you are sitting on a volcano. Every day you stall, every peso you pocket, every law you twist for your own gain — you feed the fire beneath you. Do not mistake Filipino patience for weakness. Hindi kami hangal. The day will come when no convoy, no palace walls, no title before your name will save you from the wrath of those you betrayed.
Do your mandated work — and do it now. Not for applause, not for legacy, but because you have bled this nation long enough. Restore decency, protect the treasury, legislate for the people or step aside before you are swept aside.
This is not just a warning. This is prophecy written in the streets of Kathmandu, shouted in the protests of Jakarta, and whispered in every angry Filipino heart. Learn from Nepal. Learn from Indonesia. Or prepare to be remembered not as leaders, but as the carcasses of a corrupt empire finally torn down.
Signed,
The Filipino People You Mock, Rob, and Underestimate

PINABIBILISAN ANG ICC TRIAL
Hiniling daw ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte sa International Criminal Court (ICC) na pabilisin ang paglilitis sa kanyang amang si dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
“We can only request and plead with them to speed up the trial because he is already 81 years old and he cannot afford to stay in detention for 3, 4, 5 years more,” saad ng Bise sa isang panayam sa The Hague, Netherlands.
Nananatili si Duterte sa ICC detention facility mula pa noong March 2025 matapos maaresto dahil sa umano’y crimes against humanity.
