The Philippine Senate has now become a circus of personalities, ego-trippers, and political opportunists. This is not governance. This is performance. The Senate, once a pillar of democracy, is crumbling under the weight of political theatrics. #ImpeachSaraDuterteNOW

May mga panahon na ang pinakamahirap gawin ay hindi ang manalo, kundi ang tumindig kahit ginagawa kang target ng kapangyarihan.
Bilang isang taong matagal nang lumalaban para sa pananagutan sa pamahalaan, alam ko na ang tapang ay hindi nasusukat kapag tahimik ang paligid. Nasusukat ito kapag malakas ang atake, mabigat ang pressure, at mas madali sanang manahimik na lang.
Senator Risa Hontiveros has shown that courage time and again. Hindi siya tumitindig para sa ingay. Tumitindig siya para sa katotohanan. Sa mga imbestigasyon tungkol sa POGOs, Alice Guo, human trafficking, abuse, corruption, and failures of public institutions, she has shown what it means to follow the trail even when the trail leads to powerful people. She has pushed for accountability where others would rather look away, and has consistently used her platform to protect those harmed by abuse, exploitation, and institutional neglect.
She asks the questions that many are afraid to ask. She gives voice to people who are often ignored. And even when the attacks become personal, she does not retreat from the work.
That kind of leadership is exactly what our democracy needs: principled, steady, prepared, and unafraid.
Hindi ko ito kayang tapatan ng pananahimik.
Naranasan ko na kung paano tumindig nang walang kasiguraduhan kung may yayakap ba, may sasabay ba, o may mananatili hanggang dulo. Naranasan ko na ring maiwang nakatayo mag-isa, sumasalo ng puna, batikos, at paninira, habang ang iba ay umatras na dahil mahirap ang laban.
Kaya alam ko: hindi madali ang lumaban para sa transparency, justice, and good governance. Pero posible ito kapag may mga lingkod-bayan na inuuna ang prinsipyo kaysa pulitika, at ang kapakanan ng taumbayan kaysa sariling ginhawa.
Naranasan ko nang masabihan: “Hindi ka naman mananalo. Masasayang lang ang boto.”
Pero kung ang laging pipiliin ay ang mukhang mananalo, kailan natin ipapanalo ang tunay na nararapat?
Gawin nating hamon ang panghihina nila.
Kayanin natin ang mahirap,
Ipanalo natin ang karapat-dapat.
Hindi ito para kay Risa!
Ito ay para sa ating lahat!
Pasensya na’t medyo mahaba ang video, pero importante ito.
Bakit nga ba PEKE ang “Anti-Political Dynasty” Bill na pinasa ng Kogreso nitong linggo? At higit sa lahat, ano ang pwede pa nating gawin para magkaroon ng batas na tunay na magwawakas sa mga dinastiya?
Panoorin ito at mag-comment kung ano ang tingin niyo dito!
Taxpayers work tirelessly to fund public salaries, yet Senator Cayetano delivers bare minimum service. The Philippine Senate deserves real action, not lazy leadership and empty seats. We pay for excellence, but we get below minimum work. Time to step down. #ResignCayetano
THE CASES OF MAGIC 13 🪄
Escudero - plunder, graft
Villanueva - plunder
Estrada - plunder, malversation
Marcoleta - plunder
Villar siblings - market manipulation/insider trading
Go - co-perpetrator/ICC
Dela Rosa - ICC
Padilla - obstruction of justice
GOD SAVE THE PHILIPPINES!
Grabe. Ang pinakasukdulan talaga ay yung tangang mayabang.
Maipasok lang ang sariling katwiran, gagamitin na ang batas na parang goma — iuunat, pipilipitin, babaluktutin — para lang mapaboto ang katotong pinaghahanap ng hustisya.
Sorry, patola ako ngayon, kasi hindi ko talaga kayang unawain kung bakit tayo nagbabayad ng buwis para paswelduhin ang mga ganito.
Hindi na nga sumusunod sa batas, ipinagyayabang pa ang kamangmangan. Excuse po ba sila sa Constitution? May special lane ba ang katangahan sa Senado?
Indeed, the punishment of wise men is to be ruled by unwise men. Pero marami sila, kaya “men” na rin. Collective noun na yata ang kabobohan.
At kung maiinis kayo dahil kesyo nagmamarunong ako, i-block n’yo na ako. Walang pilitan dito. Hindi ko obligasyong gawing daycare ang wall ko para sa mga allergic sa common sense.
Hindi tayo uunlad sa ganitong klaseng pag-iisip: yung mali na nga, ipinipilit pa; yung batas na nga, ginagawang suggestion; yung accountability na nga, ginagawang favor sa tropa.
Kaya please, trolls at DDS, huwag muna kayong magtambay sa wall ko. Bad trip ako today. 😡
And yet, after all the time that has passed, the #Senateph proves that they’re never for the people. The members of the majority act as if they are the good guys, but their mere actions show their credibility is nothing more than a bunch of trashy fools trying to serve one family

I thank God everyday that she is not our President especially during the time of crisis 🤦🏽♀️
Can her staff please brief her about that regardless of the supply, the prices will still be dictated by the global market forces? Lol
I am no expert but I listen to experts — when the war started, I made sure to read more about it. This woman just gave us standard answers — and it’s funny how DDS trolls try to make her sound smart here.
The horrors of “What ifs”. If the simpleminded Sara Duterte will become the President? Our country is doomed! 🤸♀️
Lazy, entitled and incompetent = Tatak Duterte!
Simplehan na lang po natin: Kung matupad ang wish ni Kara David, sigurado akong isa si Sen. @risahontiveros sa mga mag-su-survive.
Hindi siya corrupt at hinding-hindi sya magnanakaw.
Pero hindi na po tayo nagugulat sa ganito karumi at kagarapal na taktika. Malinaw na ang mga nasa likod ng paninirang ito ay ang mga tinatamaan sa nalalantad nang katotohanan.
Pansin niyo ba? Nalilihis na naman ang atensyon sa dapat nating tumbukin. Bukod kasi sa mga kasinungalingan, may bida-bida ring nanggugulo sa usapan. Markahan po natin sila at huwag magpadala sa kanilang mga tunay at makasariling pakay.
Ang pagtindig natin kay Sen. Risa ay pagtindig natin sa integridad, katotohanan at pananagutan.

They work for the Duterte family, whom they continue to serve and protect at all costs. It was never really about public service or justice for the nation. It’s always been about loyalty to the Dutertes and their own political interests.
Robin and Imee not wearing a robe suggests a significant indication of their loyalties and who they genuinely represent!
It's definitely not the Filipinos.

@sinosiapollo @LILIVIRAL They work for the Duterte family, whom they continue to serve and protect at all costs. It was never really about public service or justice for the nation. It’s always been about loyalty to the Dutertes and their own political interests.
@PerciCen @LILIVIRAL "I will do impartial justice."As they took their Oath. Working not for the Filipino people, but for the Duterte family. They have betrayed the very oath they swore before the nation.
This is political servitude in plain sight.
@newswatchplusph Because most of the senators—like Bato, Bong Go, Robin, and Imee—don’t work for the Filipino people. It was never really about public service or justice for the nation. It’s always been about loyalty to the Dutertes and their own political interests.
