‘WE WILL NEVER STIPULATE THAT THERE WERE NO CONFIDENTIAL OR INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION SHARED BY THE DEPED UNDER THE VP’S TERM’
WATCH: Lead defense lawyer Sheila Sison disputes the claim that certifications issued by army officials were not proof of successful intelligence-gathering or confidential operations.
Sison notes that the certifications stated that the army successfully collaborated with the Department of Education, resulting in no recruitment of students by communist terrorist groups. | @eimorpsantos
Habang tumatagalnang impeachment mas naeexpose ang ka8080han ni Bam.
Ano naman kasi ang relevance ng reaksyon ng witness? Leave questions like that to the equally 8080 MSM.
Adiong’s district in Lanao del Sur received a cumulative allocation of about ₱94 billion from 2023 to 2026 under the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) budget, as part of the Zamboanga Peninsula/Mindanao regional appropriations. ₱94 billion is 188 times larger than Inday's ₱500 million, Adiong. At ₱25 million per school, ₱94B could build 3,760 schools. At ₱5,000 each (PhilHealth + charity packages), ₱94B could finance 18.8 million surgeries. May nagawa ka ba na mga ganyan? WALA.
UPDATE: The Department of Health (DOH) says acute respiratory infections, skin diseases and hypertension are among the most common cases recorded among those staying in evacuation centers amid the effects of recent tropical cyclones and the southwest monsoon.
The DOH is also monitoring cases of waterborne diseases, influenza, leptospirosis and dengue. | Sophia Sioco

ASEAN IS MOVING FORWARD. THE PHILIPPINES? FALLING BEHIND.
The graphic below is certainly provocative, but the uncomfortable part is that the Philippine number is correct: according to the Philippine Statistics Authority, GDP grew by only 2.3 percent year-on-year in Q2 2026. That compares with Vietnam at 8.39 percent, Malaysia at 6.0 percent, Singapore at 5.9 percent, and Indonesia at 5.29 percent in the same quarter.
So what happened to the much-advertised “Bagong Pilipinas”?
While some of our ASEAN neighbors are accelerating, the Philippines has slowed to its weakest year-on-year quarterly growth since 2021. Even more troubling, first-half growth averaged only 2.6 percent, well below the government’s already-lowered 3.5–4.5 percent full-year target.
And the headline 2.3 percent does not tell the whole story.
The PSA figures reveal something potentially more disturbing underneath: industry contracted by 2.4 percent and gross capital formation fell by 9.2 percent. Household consumption—the traditional engine of the Philippine economy—grew by only 2.8 percent.
Regional analysis has flagged the deterioration in Philippine investment as a concern because, if it continues, it could further weaken the country’s growth. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s strong performance has been supported by robust investment, manufacturing and exports—the very foundations needed for longer-term productive capacity.
Nevertheless, the more important question is:
Why is one of ASEAN’s traditionally faster-growing major economies suddenly near the bottom of the regional growth table?
External shocks certainly matter. The Middle East conflict, elevated energy and commodity prices, inflation, and weaker global conditions have affected the region. But those explanations become less convincing when several of our ASEAN neighbors are confronting many of the same external pressures while growing substantially faster than we are. The Asian Development Bank now projects Philippine growth of only 3.8 percent for 2026, compared with 7.2 percent for Vietnam and 5.2 percent for Indonesia.
And that brings the issue back to governance.
After four years of Marcos Jr.'s administration, “NO measurable economic outcomes are concretely seen, rather there are lot of questions that need some answers such as:
Are investments actually materializing? Are industries expanding? Are infrastructure expenditures producing productive assets? Are businesses confident enough to invest? Are ordinary households becoming economically stronger? And, most importantly, why are our regional competitors pulling ahead while the Philippines is losing momentum?
Vietnam at 8.39 percent and the Philippines at 2.3 percent should not merely be another regional economic forecast... It should be a WAKE UP CALL for Filipinos!
So what now, Mr. President Marcos Jr.?
Goodness! 🙄🙄🙄
