TIME TO STEP DOWN?
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano should consider stepping down for the good of the chamber, as his combative leadership style appears to be fueling a gridlock that threatens to render the Senate useless, former Senate president Aquilino Pimentel III said yesterday.
While not framed as a demand, Pimentel said Cayetano should resign given the fact that the chamber could no longer accomplish anything under his leadership.

Nakikiisa po tayo sa buong komunidad ng LGBTQIA+ sa pagdiriwang ng Pride Month.
Pride has always been a celebration of courage, identity, and love. It is also a reminder that the struggle for equality continues, and that every gain in human rights has been made possible by people who chose to speak, organize, resist discrimination, and stand proudly as themselves even in the face of prejudice and exclusion.
We remain committed to advancing measures that promote inclusion and equal rights for all. We have filed the SOGIESC Bill (HB 7069) and the Right to Care Act (HB 7068) in pursuit of greater protection and equality, and we continue to hope for their passage and full, meaningful implementation.
Sa lahat ng miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community: mahalaga kayo. Naririto kami. Kasama ninyo kami sa patuloy na laban para sa pagkakapantay-pantay, dignidad, at kalayaan.
Again, Happy Pride, everyone! Keep loving, keep standing proud, and keep moving forward together. 🏳️🌈
Bilang isang kakampi at bilang tatay, malinaw sa akin: lahat tayo ay may karapatang magmahal at mabuhay nang malaya, pantay, ligtas, at may dignidad.
Sa Kongreso, patuloy nating isinusulong ang mga panukalang magpoprotekta sa karapatan at dignidad ng LGBTQIA+ community:
💚 SOGIESC Equality Bill (HB 00765) - Para labanan ang diskriminasyon at itaguyod ang pantay na pagtrato sa lahat.
🩷 Right to Care Bill (HB 2786) - Para mabigyan ng karapatan ang partners na magdesisyon at mag-alaga sa isa’t isa sa oras ng pangangailangang medikal.
💜 Cagandahan Bill (HB 05474) - Para magkaroon ng malinaw na legal na proseso ang intersex persons sa pagwawasto ng kanilang sex at pangalan sa civil registry.
🧡 Safe Spaces Amendments (HB 00768) - Para palawakin ang proteksyon laban sa gender-based sexual harassment, kabilang ang digital abuse.
LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈

Filipinos deserve fair access to entertainment events, not overpriced tickets and abusive resellers.
To combat this abusive practice, we filed House Bill No. 9171 or the "Anti-Ticket Scalping Law", which seeks to protect consumers by prohibiting ticket scalping, particularly the unauthorized resale of tickets at prices exceeding 10% above face value.
Hindi pwedeng i-normalize ang pananamantala ng mga scalpers. Kapag hindi ito naaksyunan at napatawan ng mahigpit na parusa, mas marami pang fans at consumers ang mabibiktima.
Hindi ito simpleng "diskarte" o "hustle" sa pagnenegosyo. Isa itong garapalang pagkatuso, panloloko at panggagantso sa kapwa.
Kaisa po tayo ni Sen. Kiko Pangilinan at mga kasamahan natin sa Kongreso sa layuning sugpuin at panagutin ang mga nasa likod ng modus na ito.

“Hindi ka tao ni Sara kung ikaw ay Senador — tao ka ng bayan!”
In his homily today, Bishop Bacani who is also one of the framers of the constitution reminded the Senators that public office is a public trust.
And if you are a senator… you cannot say that you will vote against the impeachment despite the clear evidence just because “tao ka ni Sara”.
: “presidentiables, may napipisil na po ba tayo?”
: “gusto kong pisilin pisngi ni sara duterte.”
: “napakaraming pilipinong sobrang tanga na naniniwala sa kanya”
TANGINA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS 😭😹

‘HOW DID WE REACH THIS LOW LEVEL OF PUBLIC SERVICE?’
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas decried the recent political developments, including the Senate leadership change on Monday, in a pastoral letter released Thursday.
“It is confusing. It is unbelievable. It is pathetic. It is disgusting. It is shameless. How did we reach this low level of public service?” Villegas wrote.
He also urged the faithful to pray and actively seek political change, and to vote more wisely in the next elections.
