This is a result of the Senate as an institution being used to a) obstruct justice in the case of Bato Dela Rosa, and b) evade accountability in the case of Sara Duterte.
Wala silang pakialam sa Saligang Batas basta makatakas lamang sila. Mga kawatan!
the way some filipinos are intensely loyal to the duterte family is honestly something that needs to be studied. kasi what do you mean you can line up facts, context, even receipts, and they'll still give them the benefit of the doubt? it's kinda alarming and scary, tbh. ๐ฅฒ
Praying for all the journalists risking their lives tonight just so the public can see the truth of whatโs happening in the Senate.
There is no substitute for a free press. No alternative to people willing to stand in the middle of chaos so the country can witness the truth in real time.
may all journalists risking their lives to witness this utter clownery be protected from all harm. may the truth prevail.
we do not deserve this government at all.
Gunshots inside the Senate and innocent civilians, media personnel, and staff could have been caught in the middle of it all.
Kung peacefully na lang sana sumuko si Bato, this situation could have been avoided. Grabeng kaguluhan ang dinala mo, Bato.
