‘SANA PO AY HINDI NILA AKO MAPATAY BAGO KO MAILABAS ANG LAHAT’

Naglabas ng video si dating Ako Bicol party-list Representative Zaldy Co sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang dating staff sa House of Representatives.

“Hindi na ako mananahimik, ilalabas ko ang katotohanan,” sinabi ni Co sa video na tumagal ng halos anim na minuto. Unang bahagi pa lamang daw ito.

Sinusubukan ng GMA Integrated News na hingan ng komento ang Malacañang, pati na rin sina dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin at Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman tungkol sa video.

Together, we can help children living with type 1 #diabetes live happy, healthy and joyful lives.

🔹 Parents: Help manage meals, insulin and routines — consistency can build confidence.
🔹 Teachers: Notice the signs of highs and lows — allow snack and break times as needed.
🔹 Friends & community: Create spaces of inclusion — invite, include and do not judge.

Every part of the community has a role in supporting children with diabetes. Learn more 🔗 https://t.co/FjpQiKLLS5

Until 1974, many U.S. banks could legally deny women credit cards or loans without a husband’s signature. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act changed that.

Afghanistan is the only country in the world where millions of girls are banned from school. This art was created by a young woman who once taught art at a secondary school. Now she’s locked at home, silenced and heartbroken.

Her art is her only voice. Stand with Afghan girls.

Women & girls spend more than twice as many hours on unpaid care & domestic work compared to men.

Wednesday’s #DayOfCare is an opportunity to address gender stereotypes and seek solutions to redistribute unpaid care & domestic work.

7,000 Yezidi women were kidnapped,raped, tortured, sold, burned and buried alive by lSlS after killing 10,000 Yezidis for refusing to convert to lslam!

War has devastating consequences for women and girls.

Yet, all over the world women are leading movements for #peace and rebuilding communities in the aftermath of conflict.

To achieve lasting peace and #equality, more women must be at the table.

Research links these affirming spaces to lower rates of depression and anxiety. Especially for queer youth, they provide mental structure when home and society offer none.

Queer bars, cafés, and bookstores have long served as community anchors—places where LGBTQ+ people find emotional safety, shared language, and spaces to exist without apology.

Civilians pay the highest price in conflict.

In 2024, the UN recorded more than 36,000 civilian deaths in 14 armed conflicts around the world.

Wars have rules.

Protecting civilians is NOT optional. It’s a moral and legal obligation.

When a society suppresses protest, it weakens its own legitimacy. The right to dissent is a foundation of democratic resilience.

[Amnesty International @amnesty]

Your voice matters. You have the right to say what you think, share information and demand a better world. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions in peaceful protests.

Today, and every day, we must #ProtectTheProtest.

Think AI is neutral? Think again.

From biased algorithms to unequal outcomes, gender bias in tech is a real issue—but we have the power to change it!

Children are at higher risk of trafficking during vulnerable situations like war, natural disasters, and when they are on the move alone.

Poverty and discrimination make them even more vulnerable.

What we see here is systemic neglect, deeply rooted in institutional practice. Treating the male body as default leads to higher adverse drug reactions in women, exposing a gap where policy and science should intersect.

[Echo of Rights @echo_right60095]

Clinical trials rarely account for how women metabolize drugs differently, often ignoring body fat ratios, hormonal cycles, and enzyme activity. The result is flawed dosing and harm.
