National Pride & Vision 🫡
Yet another milestone for the UAE 🚄🇦🇪
It’s official: Etihad Rail is now operational – Abu Dhabi <> Fujairah.
This is more than a railway. It’s connectivity, sustainability, and vision in motion. Linking our emirates, reducing carbon footprint, and creating new economic corridors for people and goods.
From Abu Dhabi’s Mohamed bin Zayed City Station to the mountains of Fujairah, the UAE continues to build infrastructure that unites us and powers our future.
Congratulations to the leadership, Etihad Rail and every engineer, planner, and worker who made this national dream a reality.
The tracks are laid. The future has arrived. 🦾

'BATO DID NOT DIE, IS NOT ABROAD, AND DID NOT RESIGN'
Speaking on #ABOGADO, Atty. Hazel “Heyz” Meking argued that Sen. Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa should still be included in determining the number of senators for an impeachment vote.
Meking cited the Avelino v. Cuenco case, saying the circumstances discussed in that ruling involve senators who are deceased, abroad, detained for a non-bailable offense, or have resigned.
She argued that allegations that dela Rosa evaded an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant do not automatically make him legally absent or exclude him from the Senate's membership, adding that no final legal determination has declared his status as a fugitive for purposes of Senate voting.

LIKE ORDINARY EMPLOYEES, SHOULD OFFICIALS FACE NO PAY RULE?
A "no work, no pay" rule for high-ranking government officials who are absent without clear reason or proper leave would soon be formally proposed, as Sen. Bato Dela Rosa continues his absence from the Senate.
Sen. Erwin Tulfo said the proposed measure would cover the president, vice president, senators, congressmen, other elected officials, Cabinet secretaries and department heads.
