Sino’ng nagsabi na ang batas ay para sa lahat?
Ang mga ganitong kaganapan ang matibay na patunay na tungkol sa hindi patas na pagtrato ng awtoridad sa mga maralita kumpara sa mga may kapangyarihan at maimpluwensiya sa lipunan bagamat pareho lang silang inaakusahang lumabag sa batas. (Screen grab from ABS-CBN News)

Hosting Miss Universe Philippines 2026 has been one of the greatest milestones of my career and my life.
And while I understand that there will be different opinions and some resistance to it, I did not expect the vile & alarming amount of transphobia, hate and even death threats thrown at me. Moreso, the hate and harassment being thrown to my sister, Angel.
This is not what I stand for.
This NEEDS TO STOP.
Sa lahat ng trabaho at success na pinaghirapan natin, dala dala ko ang pag asa na iaangat nito ang pagtanggap sa LGBTQIA+. While I was admittedly hurt by her statements, I do not condone any hurtful and hateful words thrown at her because of it. Huwag itong gamiting excuse para manira ng kapwa. It just sets us back and everything we’ve worked so hard for just loses its meaning.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. What you are not entitled to is disrespect. While I may not be able to change everyone’s opinion, I would like to call on everyone who believes in me. I am truly grateful for all the outpour of love and support. I ask that you only spread love, grace and kindness to the people around you.
Angel and I were able to resolve things privately. Let’s give her space and understanding.
Maraming salamat sa pag-unawa.

'[TRUMP] SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT BY THE WHOLE WORLD, INCLUDING U.S.A.'
Sen. Panfilo Lacson said that U.S. President Donald Trump should "be held to account by the whole world" for putting the Philippines and the whole world in crisis.
In a post on X, the Senate President Pro Tempore also said that "President Trump’s brinkmanship did not work. In fact, it has boomeranged."
STATEMENT OF MAYOR JOY BELMONTE
I urge Congressman Bong Suntay to apologize for the inappropriate remarks that he made at a recent House committee hearing.
His words directly contradict the spirit of empowerment that we have worked hard to build here in Quezon City. Over the years, we have embraced the difficult work of establishing protections for women, constantly striving to honor their rights by creating safe spaces and opportunities for them.
In this context, it is truly disappointing to witness Congressman Suntay’s casual display of objectification, on Women’s Month no less. But what makes this incident especially troubling is the fact that, as a former member of our City Council, he was part of the body that passed our Gender and Development Code.
Moreover, he was the majority floor leader of the city council when we passed the Bawal Bastos Ordinance, which declares that lewd, malicious, and demeaning remarks and acts have no place in public life. Quezon City instituted this policy in 2016—ahead of the national Safe Spaces Act.
Our policies are a declaration of our city’s values—of what we stand for and what we refuse to tolerate. We expect our elected officials to be the first to live by them.
Thus, it is clear to me: We must not hesitate to push back against any act that undermines the dignity of our women. We must continue to stand for their safety, dignity, and equality—without exception and without compromise.
We call on Congressman Suntay to take full accountability for his remarks, issue a proper apology, and conduct himself with the dignity that his office—and our city—demand. Our people deserve no less.
