In 2006 Risa Hontiveros faced off against cops while calling for the ouster of President Arroyo.
This woman has courageously stood up for us her whole life despite the risk and despite the odds.
Bakit kailangang madaliin? Bakit kailangang pigilan ang mga gustong magsalita?
Bakit kailangang i-divide ang house kung marami pang senador ang nagtatanong tungkol sa proseso?
Ang pinaka magiging unintentional effect talaga ng kung ano mang ginagawa ng majority ngayon ay ang pagkakabuo nito 11 senators as a minority, probably the strongest minority we’ve seen for a while.
These would have been different had the open fire incident didn’t happen. Mas tumibay yung paninindigan nung 11 senators dahil karangalan na ng institusyon yung nakasalalay. At sa bawat galaw ng mayorya, tumitibay yung bond na nabubuo sa grupong ‘to at umiingay din ang pangalan nila.
Nakakatuwa kasi hindi na nag-iisa si Sen. Risa na umaalma. May boses na ang minorya.
This group is one to watch over the next few weeks or even months.
This is how you destroy an institution.
In plain sight, these senators are bending their own rules to protect their political interests.
TANGINA GUMISING TAYO SA 2028 ELECTIONS. DI PWEDENG GANITO LAGIIIIII
JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT
We strongly condemn what appears to be an attempt to rush a major change in the Senate Rules, especially when several members of the minority still wanted to speak and raise serious questions on the floor.
Bakit kailangang madaliin? Bakit kailangang pigilan ang mga gustong magsalita? Bakit kailangang i-divide ang house kung marami pang senador ang nagtatanong tungkol sa proseso?
Minamadali ba ang rule change na ito dahil gusto nilang maka boto si Senator Bato? At ngayong may mga ulat na may mga majority senators na maaaring arestuhin?
We walked out because what happened on the floor looked less like orderly deliberation. The proposed rule change affects how senators may attend sessions, participate in proceedings and exercise their mandate through remote means, and such a measure should be opened to healthy public debate instead of being rushed by the tyranny of the majority.
We have always welcomed healthy discussions on the floor, but this should mean allowing all members to be heard, not forcing the chamber to move at the speed preferred by the majority.
At the time the motion was taken up, there was no duly constituted Committee on Rules and there was not even an elected Majority Leader who could properly guide a rules amendment through the regular process.
How could there have been any action or discussion before the Committee on Rules when no Committee on Rules has been organized to date?
With due respect, the answer that no Senate rule had been violated does not settle the matter, because the rules cannot be treated as a matter of convenience when the very process for amending them is under serious question.
The timing raises a question that the public deserves to hear debated openly. Kaya pinili naming tumayo at iwan ang majority sa plenary. Kaya kami nagdesisyon to question the quorum and call for adjournment.
If the proposal is truly defensible, then let it pass through the proper route.
We owe it to the people who voted for us to do our mandate. This is why we want more time to discuss this further.
Risa Hontiveros: Hindi ako sensitibo sa puna, sanay ako diyan. Pero ang pinakita po na video ay FAKE NEWS. Delivering a privilege speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news enter in the official records as if it were evidence.

Water pressure and supply is still inconsistent in parts of Luzon.
And the government thinks it’s a great idea to let our lands be used by the Americans for their AI data centers.
This is the possible future of our water if we don’t stop this tech-worshipping bullshit.

I am and always will be proud for supporting her— not a fan btw
And hearing her words sa kabila ng mga nangyayari ngayon, kailangan nating marinig 'to at ipaalala na minsan tayong nagkaroon ng pagkakataon para ipaglaban ang kapwa natin pilipino.
Good Governance sa 2028!
Wag natin kalimutan:
May 18,2026 - Senate scheduled to convene VP Sarah's Impeachment Case
May 18,2026 - Comelec registration due date for 2028 elections.
Maybe, this is fate reminding us that a way to end these political problems starts with YOU. Make your vote count 😭🙏
