When De Lima asked to participate online in 2021, she was merely invoking for equal treatment as other Senators were also convening online.
What the Senate Majority is now attempting to allow is for Bato to be given special treatment when all other Senators are convening in person.
De Lima was facing her case. Bato is evading his.
MAGKAIBA SILA.
: so every single one of the three & a half thousand ppl who was killed was a drug dealer?

SUPALPAL SI ALAN CAYETANO
Either lowkey dds or they don't want to offend dds/ their dds friends. It's giving "hindi ako dds pero..." then proceeds to say something only dds would say 😅
(That's too many dds for a tweet, I feel like throwing up)
Today marks the 78th anniversary of the Nakba (catastrophe), during which more than 750,000 Palestinians were expelled and over 400 villages were destroyed to establish the State of Israel.
13 Senators moved to oust Senator Sotto as Senate President. The Filipino people are not blind to what the real motivation behind their move was. 13 may be the number enough to influence proceedings such as the impeachment and Senate investigations in exchange of promises and assurances that serve individual interests. But 13 is also not a guarantee that all those promises and assurances will be delivered.
The cirumstances of the 13 Senators are not within the Senate's leadership exclusive control. It may delay an arrest, but it won't take a warrant of arrest away. It won't easily dismiss pending cases and investigations. It won't guarantee reelections. They may be leading the Senate, but they cannot silence dissent within the chamber.
The former Senate minority may have reclaimed the leadership, but they have also intensified public scrutiny. They may have underestimated the powers of the other branches of the government and the "powers" behind them. They haven't realized what the House of Representatives and the new Senate minority can actually if law and reason are on their side.
Their move may either be a strategic one or a miscalculation. They will soon realize with whom real power resides. In time, its consequences will become clear.
sinira ng mga israelis ang isang cafe sa siargao na may nakasabit na palestinian flag kahapon at binugbog pa nila ang mga owners!!
NAKAKAGALIT WTF ANO NA WALA MAN LANG BANG GAGAWIN ANG GOBYERNO TUNGKOL DITO?? KAILAN BA IPAPADEPORT TONG MGA SALOT NA’TO!!
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Christians and all Christian monuments (as well as Jewish ones) survived 1200 years of Muslim rule in Palestine. In less than 80 years of jewish supremacist power, Christians have been driven out and churches across the land are being destroyed, along with Christian archeological finds. This does not include the daily harassment of Christians, the spitting on clerics, and so on.
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
BAWAL BASTOS! Hindi natin ito palalagpasin. Kailangan nating panagutin. Walang puwang sa lipunang naghahangad ng tunay na pagbabago ang ganitong kaisipan at pag-uugali. Patuloy na kumilos, mag-organisa upang wakasan ang lahat ng anyo ng seksismo at karahasan laban sa kababaihan!
BREAKING
Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:
“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.
Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.
And it will not happen in Iran either.
They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
Kami ngang nasa dubai na direktang apektado, tuloy ang buhay, ang trabaho, pero kaya pa rin naman namin pagusapan at icondemn ang kabastusan nitong mga dds na to. So anong point nya? 😅
@PinoyAkoBlog Puwede naman problemahin 'yan ng sabay. Hindi lang kasi sila kasama sa istorya kaya nag-iiyakan na naman ang ang quingina. Kairita talaga iyang mga iyan, mamsh. 😡
There is no room for laughter or keeping the mood bright in this instance. They could have asked the question, let him answer, and not react. Instead they laughed so it would make HIM comfortable?
What about the women and people that already feel the discomfort from him and his statements?
I see your point when journalists need to do that to prolong interviews but SUNTAY should not even have the platform to explain and giggle about such a topic.
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.
Women’s Month pa talaga. 🇺🇳
The fact that there is no remorse, no clue as to why what he said was offensive and inappropriate, and even commented in an interview that "she should take my remark as a compliment" is what makes this disgusting comment even more disgusting.
My friend, it doesn't matter if she's not good enough at tennis (by your standards). You will never understand our pride simply for being represented. We will show up even if we don't expect her to win. Must be exhausting to be this bitter, no? #AlexEala#BRAZILIPPINES
At the end of the day, Alexandra Eala and Joao Fonseca are simply not good enough at tennis, and no amount of cheering from the stands can change that.
We were rooting for you! It would have been more convenient if the game was finished at 2nd set as it was getting kinda late (considering we all have work tomo 😆) so... you're not mistaken, we were really cheering for you to win❣️
Coco Gauff to the Alex Eala fans after her win over Mertens in Dubai
“I know you guys are probably here for Alex so I’m sorry to make you wait. 😭 If I’m not mistaken I think some of you guys are cheering for me so I appreciate it a lot” 😂😂😂😂
A Korean Feminist said:
“I will not give birth to a life that will discriminate against my gender. My own flesh & blood must not become a blade and turn against me. If the world born from my body oppresses me I will not let that world exist.”
That child is the perfect example.
Omg south Korea might be the first country that will cease to exist due to low birth rates. One feminist stated “If the world born from my body oppresses me, I will not let that world exist”. Stay with me ladies. We have too much power in our hands
