Sana may hiya kayo... na gamitin ang pananampalataya upang isulong ang mga makasarili ninyong layunin.
Sana mahiya kayo, sa paghambing ng mga tao sa Panginoon.
Kasi marami sa amin ang hiyang hiya para sa inyo.
Nakakahiya kayo.
They harass.
They pull dangerous maneuvers.
And when that isnโt enough, they attack. Who are they?
The China Coast Guard!
A force that calls itself โcoast guard,โ yet too often acts like a frontline enforcer, escalating tensions & turning contested waters into a battleground.
The PRCโs attempt to present this 1990 letter as proof of Philippine concession over Scarborough Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc) is misleading at best and a deliberate distortion at worst. This unverified document presented as letter from Ambassador Bienvenido A. Tan, Jr. to a German radio hobbyist was not an official waiver of sovereigntyโit merely noted that the shoal lies outside the colonial boundaries set by the 1898 Treaty of Paris, while affirming it is within the Philippines' 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone.
Under international law, as retired Philippine Supreme Court Justice Antonio Carpio has pointed out, an ambassador lacks the authority to waive, abandon, or decide on a state's sovereignty or territory. Only statements from the head of state or foreign minister can bind the nation. This casual correspondence to a private individual does not qualify as a binding admission, and relying on it ignores the 2016 Arbitral Tribunal ruling, which confirmed Scarborough Shoal is within the Philippines' EEZ and that China has no historic rights overriding UNCLOS entitlements. China released this letter years ago, but recycling it now as "evidence" is just another selective narrative to justify encroachmentโit is not a lie detector, it is a smoke screen.
The fact remains: China has not once exercised sovereignty over Bajo de Masinloc. The PRC claim is bogus and has no credible historical basis. The Scarborough Shoal has always been and will always be a Philippine territory.
Chinese Coast Guard fired water cannons at Filipino fishermen, smashing their windows and injuring one of them.
Yet, somehow, Beijing will still have the audacity to blame the Philippines.
I respect the Vice Presidentโs opinion about the proceedings. However, my motion is clear: to preserve the documentary evidence and secure a witness so the Committee on Justice can fulfill its duty of assessing the evidence.
The Vice President has every opportunity to refute the allegations against her by submitting her answer and evidence. Sa huli, ang ebidensya ang magsasabi kung dapat may pananagutan. At ang impeachment proceeding ang tamang lugar para lumabas ang katotohanan.
PETILLA EXPLAINS WHY OIL PRICE HIKES HIT ON TUESDAYS
Leyte Governor and former DOE Secretary Jericho Petilla explained that fuel price hikes typically occur on Tuesdays because the country relies on a single refinery, Petron, which only meets 15โ20% of domestic oil demand.
The majority of fuelโaround 80โ85%โis imported from other Asian countries such as South Korea and China, with price decisions made in advance and revealed each week.

Tonight on BNCโs #Agenda, Korina Sanchez-Roxas, Pinky Webb, and Willard Cheng discussed the controversial remarks made by Quezon City 4th District Rep. Bong Suntay about actress Anne Curtis during a congressional hearing, noting that the statements were ordered stricken from the record after drawing objections from fellow members.
The panel raised the possibility of an ethics complaint, citing provisions under the Safe Spaces Act that cover suggestive sexual remarks causing discomfort.
A congressman. A representative of the people. Paid by the people. A husband, a father with daughters.
Without the consciousness, knowledge or decency of how women should be talked about. Please keep your sick thoughts to yourself.
More than striking his comments off the record, he should apologize.
Womenโs Month pa talaga. ๐บ๐ณ
At Dilawan/Pinklawan daw ang mga NPA? Galit daw sa NPA si digong? Ah talaga ba? Isa lang to sa mga ebidensya na nagpapatunay ng relasyon ni boy karton at buong pamilya duterte sa mga rebeldeng NPA.
I must say, sa kampo ni Duterte nagsisimula ang lahat ng gulo sa bansa ngayon.
Naalala nyo pa papaano pinatunayan ni Sara Lustay y Sabaw ang pagiging brat nya?
Naalala nyo yung chopper na pang PRESIDENTE AT FIRST FAMILY LANG. GUSTO NYA SYA LANG GUMAMIT?
Usec Claire, nilabas ulet ang issue nito.
HAHAHAHAHA. PANOORIN NYO.
โHISTORY HAS TAUGHT US: NO TO APPEASEMENT!โ
On #ABOGADO, Atty. Mike Toledo reminds us that the lessons of history still matter today. Drawing from World War II, he recalls how Britainโs initial policy of appeasement toward aggressive powers failed, while Winston Churchill used words to mobilize the nation and defend its sovereignty.
Toledo warns that the same principle applies to the West Philippine Sea: trying to give in or โstay quiet for peaceโ only emboldens those who aim to take what belongs to the Philippines. He urges citizens and leaders alike not to be trapped by narratives that favor appeasement. Firm communication and clear defense of our national claims are essentialโbecause words, like actions, have consequences.

In 1734, significant world events featured the War of Polish Succession, marked by Russia's seizure of Danzig, and Spain's conquest of Naples led by Don Carlos.
However, for us Filipinos, the pivotal event is the publication of the foundational Murillo Velarde map of the Philippines.
Jesuit priest Pedro Murillo Velarde created the first detailed, scientific map of the Philippines, which now serves as vital evidence for our maritime jurisdiction.
