@ABSCBNNews Seriously. .. what a justice system..

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

In the multiverse, there is a universe where AKO BIKOL Partylist does not exist and Zaldy Co and Kito Co did not become Congressmen.

COMELEC Chair Sixto Brilliantes banned Ako Bikol in 2013 but was overruled and overturned by the Supreme Court.

We have only focused on the DPWH and Congress in the unraveling of government corruption.

But the Judiciary, while it may have good intentions and its legal perspective to justify its decisions, is complicit in why corruption happens in the system.

It was the Judiciary that created the main plunderer doctrine that freed Arroyo and made prosecutions for plunder more difficult if not impossible for Enrile, Jinggoy, and Bong Revilla during the pork barrel scam — kaya na acquit sila lahat at si Napoles lang nakakulong.

It was also the Judiciary that allowed premature campaigning of politicians in the landmark case of Peñera vs. COMELEC.

It is also the Judiciary that reversed the long standing practice of the party list system as being reserved only for the marginalized and underrepresented.

Atong Paglaum and Ako Bikol vs COMELEC was the decision that paved the way for Congtractors and Political Dynasties to enter the backdoor of Congress.

Defenders of such decision will point to the Constitution.

But if that’s the case, then it’s high time to change the Constitution so that not only party list system becomes genuine but also that we can ban political dynasties without waiting for Congressmen to pass an enabling law.

The Constitution is almost 40 years old. Do we need a new one?

WHO NEEDS AIR PATROLS WHEN POLITICIANS HAVE PRIVATE JETS?

Philippine Coast Guard spokesperson Jay Tarriela said it was “disheartening” to see a legislator owning multiple air assets while the PCG operates with only three fixed-wing aircraft and two helicopters for maritime patrols.

His statement came after the DPWH asked the AMLC to freeze the air assets of companies linked to Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co, including a Gulfstream jet and several helicopters.

Co is also facing allegations in Senate hearings of inserting billions worth of flood control projects and pocketing kickbacks—including cash allegedly delivered in suitcases—through contractors and engineers. He has denied the accusations.

@PhilstarNews @JPMangaluz Not just the poor.. ALL people!!

[Nicole @thinkinboutwonu]

there are filipino taxpayers who work day in and day out, backbreaking jobs and merciless hours, to earn honest money through honest means—who will NEVER in their lives see the amount of money these criminals have STOLEN from us.

many of us, even the middle class, will work our ENTIRE LIVES and never be able to afford the things these criminals flaunt so shamelessly.

the government that is supposed to serve the people, steals not just money but our lives and the futures of our families.

🇵🇭 Walk as Filipinos, Not Factions

By Dr. Tony Leachon

Floods don’t ask who you voted for.
They don’t care if you wear red, pink, yellow, or blue.
They don’t pause for religion, gender, race, or wealth.
They drown classrooms, hospitals, cars, malls, and homes—without discrimination.
And yet, our response remains divided.
Partisan.
Performative.

While the waters rise, the debates in Congress spiral into theater.
Probes are marked by drama, not direction.
And those who should be held accountable—contractors, billionaires, lawmakers—remain dry, untouched, and unbothered.

President Marcos says he welcomes protest.
But Speaker Zaldy Co and others seem to thrive in a divided nation.
That’s our problem.
We’ve allowed corruption to be filtered through selective ideologies.
We condemn it only when it suits our tribe.
We march only when our colors are called.

But justice cannot bloom in the soil of ego.
It cannot be achieved if our outrage is rooted in self-interest.
If you plan to attend the September 21 rallies—whether in Luneta or EDSA—leave your ego in your closet.
Leave your party colors in your cars.
Walk mightily, not as BBM, DDS, Dilawan, or Pinklawan.
Walk as Filipinos.

Because this isn’t about factions.
It’s about a nation drowning in neglect.
It’s about children missing school, workers losing wages, families losing homes.
It’s about a government that can build flood control projects worth billions—but can’t seem to control the floods.

So go where it’s convenient.
Luneta or EDSA.
Join the clergy, the students, the fandoms, the activists.
Join the hip-hop heads, the K-pop stans, the Otakus.
Join the quiet ones, the angry ones, the hopeful ones.

But above all, join as one people.
Because corruption is not partisan.
And neither is justice.

Let the corrupt fall.
Let the truth rise.
Let the Filipino spirit shine.
