Yes! If you concede what is legally yours, prepare to lose the rest of the whole country.

There will be peace if all signatories of UNCLOS followed its rules on the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). China, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam & Brunei signed & ratified the UNCLOS.

Rizal used his privilege to fight for the people, and Risa Hontiveros gives that exact energy. She chose the hard work of holding power accountable and standing up for the marginalized over an easy life. That's real public service.

[Amber 🦋 @geeyanii]

I mean how can you hate her? Honestly, the allegations against her being burgis and elitista are unfounded. Sure, maganda yung background ng family nila but she sticked to her activist roots and led a simple life. Wala siyang unexplained wealth, puro chismis at paninira lang.

I used to call it south of china sea because it's outside of china and at the south of them. South east asia sea definitely sounds better.

[Nguyen Ho @NguyenHo1096438]

Reminding you all that the name, South China Sea should be rejected.

It should be called Southeast Asia Sea.

Imagine a Sara Duterte presidency with the Senate under her control.

Partida hindi pa siya Presidente ngayon pero para bang kontrolado niya ang Senado.

Imagine an insane, corrupt, abusive, and a violent person in the most powerful seat in the Philippines — WITHOUT GUARDRAILS.

[Neneng H @BINI_NenengH]

Screenshot ka pa, 'di mo naman binasa. Kundi ka ba naman isa't kalahating utak munggo. 2020 'yan, PANDEMIC, malamang teleconference gagawin nila. Also, 'di naman pinayagan kahit nag-file ng reso sina Sen. Lacson at Drilon kaya tama na kaka-reply mo niyan, 'di ka pa ba quota? 🤮

[Roentgen @ronaldgem]

Una, the Senate allowed teleconference sessions during the pandemic.

Pangalawa, however, the Muntinlupa Trial Court denied de Lima's motion to join Senate online proceedings.

So kahit nag-ask si Kiko noon, may court ruling na legal precedent against Marcoleta's motion.

[Jai Cabajar @jaicabajar]

Since ad hominem lang naman ang kaya gawin ni Marcoleta, then he should also know that he looks like a sad pug wearing a wig.

[Shania DJF @MakaBayanYan]

When Sen Leila was wrongfully jailed, she was not accorded with the privilege to attend sessions online. She was not allowed to vote too.

Tapos ngayon, dahil may nagtatago sa WoA at may lalabas na WoA pa, bibigyan ng privilege? Tanginang kaisipan yan

True. But ladies often get damaged reputations, face brutal backlash for choosing real life over fan service, just to prop up the men while shielded by safe PR.

‘AFTER NU’NG LOVETEAM BABAE ‘YUNG SUMISIKAT’ 😨

Veteran actor na si Bobot Mortiz, sinabi na mas sumisikat umano ang babae kapag natatapos ang isang loveteam sa showbiz.

Maraming salamat, Karen. 🙂

Matatag kong hinarap ang mga gawa-gawang paratang dahil alam kong inosente ako. Pinanghawakan ko ang katotohanan, ang pananampalataya sa Panginoon at nanalig na mananaig ang hustisya.

But Leni didn't say, "I have 3 daughters, all girls."

What Leni said in that interview was, "I have 3 daughters, all *were daddy's girls."

[Jay Tarriela @jaytaryela]

It is quite amusing to watch the Chinese Embassy in Manila lose track of its own script. For years, Beijing has insisted that it holds “indisputable sovereignty” over the entire South China Sea. Now, suddenly, Deputy Spokesperson Guo Wei is saying that there are merely “overlapping claims of EEZ” between our two countries. Which one is it? Did MOFA in Beijing actually clear this new line, or has the embassy simply gotten confused about its own talking points?

On the second point, we are in full agreement: every state enjoys the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and no country requires another’s “permission” to sail through international waters. That principle, however, is not what is in dispute. What must be underlined is that what China is doing in the West Philippine Sea has nothing to do with lawful patrols or freedom of navigation. From the reclamation and militarization of features within our EEZ, to the water-cannoning and harassment of Filipino fishermen going about their lawful livelihood, to the dangerous and aggressive maneuvers of China Coast Guard and maritime militia vessels against Philippine ships — these are not law enforcement activities. They are illegal acts, and no amount of rebranding will make them lawful.

“Atty” Bondoc said pwede daw iserve sa kanya ung warrant of arrest ni Bato. “Abogado po kami, pwede naman po sa min”. But Rule 113, Section 7 of the Revised Rules of Criminal Procedure says otherwise.
