The senate today. DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla getting into an altercation with Sen. Robin Padilla.
Sad to watch. Shoving. Pushing. Supposedly trying to prevent individuals (including 18 marines) from entering the senate halls.
Some questions here. Is it wise for the DILG to be here? What should’ve been the role of the Sgt At Arms in this situation?
Yes, there is a power issue in the senate now but all senators & their guests are allowed to enter the premises freely. It is a co-equal branch of government.
Your thoughts?

DLSU HITS IMPUNITY
De La Salle University took aim at the country’s political climate, warning against what it called the “unabated greed and lust for power” among some government officials as controversies continue to grip Philippine politics.
In a strongly worded statement, DLSU’s Committee on National Issues and Concerns slammed the “uneven hand of justice” and criticized public officials who “betray public trust yet still have the temerity to seek power, evade accountability, or hide behind its protections.” The university said the culture of impunity has allowed leaders to prioritize “political ambition, dynastic survival, and vested interests” over the welfare of Filipinos.
The Lasallian community also warned that corruption and political maneuvering have real-world consequences, from under-resourced schools and overwhelmed hospitals to families struggling with rising costs amid the oil crisis.
Calling on Filipinos to resist treating politics as “mere spectacle,” DLSU urged the public to remain vigilant, organize and pressure leaders to uphold accountability and protect public funds.

Why didn’t the LGUs stop them from building there in the first place? Common folk don’t know where they can or can’t build. I mean-look at Slater Young.
