JUST IN: Inanunsyo ni Senador Risa Hontiveros na magbibigay ang Gatchalian bloc ng isang-buwang halaga ng sahod para sa mga biktima ng magnitude 7.8 na lindol.
"This is a moment when the Senate, whatever its internal divisions, can still speak through one act of shared compassion."

Filipinos deserve fair access to entertainment events, not overpriced tickets and abusive resellers.
To combat this abusive practice, we filed House Bill No. 9171 or the "Anti-Ticket Scalping Law", which seeks to protect consumers by prohibiting ticket scalping, particularly the unauthorized resale of tickets at prices exceeding 10% above face value.
Hindi pwedeng i-normalize ang pananamantala ng mga scalpers. Kapag hindi ito naaksyunan at napatawan ng mahigpit na parusa, mas marami pang fans at consumers ang mabibiktima.
Hindi ito simpleng "diskarte" o "hustle" sa pagnenegosyo. Isa itong garapalang pagkatuso, panloloko at panggagantso sa kapwa.
Kaisa po tayo ni Sen. Kiko Pangilinan at mga kasamahan natin sa Kongreso sa layuning sugpuin at panagutin ang mga nasa likod ng modus na ito.
Hindi ako masyadong nalungkot sa fact na gasoline boy sya, kase marangal na trabaho yun. Mas nakakalungkot yung fact na cum laude sya with a degree in BS Fisheries. Just goes to show na kulang ang opportunities in this country para sa aquaculture and agriculture industries.
INB100, representing Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin, refuted SM Entertainment’s recent statement regarding their ongoing dispute.
• On the 10% payment: They intend to fulfill the sales payment once legal procedures are completed and an agreement is finalized.
• On “broken trust”: All discussions were held under the premise of EXO’s full-group activities. CBX was in direct communication with EXO members and has been working toward group promotions.
• On the objection filing: INB100 explained that both SM and CBX filed objections on October 16 after the court mediator presented an arbitrary calculation unrelated to the agreed terms. This was a routine legal step, not a refusal to settle.
Lastly, they reassured fans that CBX is committed to honoring the agreement, restoring trust, and pursuing smooth negotiations with SM.

INB100 releases a statement on Chen, Baekyun, and Xiumin's activities with EXO:
"We sincerely apologize for the confusion and concern caused by the delay in releasing our position regarding EXO-CBX’s participation in EXO’s full-group activities.
INB100 and our artists Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (hereafter “EXO-CBX”) have promised fans to participate in EXO’s full-group activities as members of EXO and have been making every possible effort to fulfill that promise.
We would like to share the progress made so far.
1. July 9, 2025 – First confirmation of agreement intentions with SM Entertainment
To pursue EXO’s full-group activities, EXO-CBX met directly with SM to confirm mutual intentions and the direction for an agreement.
2. September 10, 2025 – Exchange of concrete agreement drafts
Both parties shared specific terms and entered a substantive negotiation stage.
3. Full acceptance of SM’s requirements
After the second mediation date (October 2), EXO-CBX clearly expressed their intent to accept all conditions proposed by SM for EXO’s year-end full-group comeback.
4. Schedule adjustments prioritizing EXO’s group activities
EXO-CBX cleared all personal schedules for December and awaited SM’s final response through their legal representatives.
While EXO-CBX were making these efforts for EXO’s full-group activities, they learned about the announcement of EXO’s fan meeting and full album release excluding them.
We apologize for the delayed response as we needed to confirm SM’s position amid this unexpected situation.
The members have always cherished the fans’ sincerity above all else and have earnestly wished for EXO’s full-group activities, which is why they chose the path of reconciliation.
We plan to reach an agreement for full-group activities as soon as possible.
We sincerely thank all the fans who have continued to trust and wait for us, and we will do our utmost to achieve a positive outcome.
We ask for your continued expectations and support.
Sincerely,
INB100"
