The Japanese punk band Anarchy, while influenced by overseas punk bands like the Sex Pistols, is most characterized by its expression of Japanese delinquent culture and the realistic perspective of the working class through lyrics written in Japanese.
The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.
They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.
Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.
The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.
We call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.

The construction of our national emblem does not involve merely the placement of symbols; its measurements and colors also need to be precise.
According to then-President Manuel Quezon's Executive Order No. 23 (1936), the flag's length should be twice its width (1:2 ratio), and at a minimum, twice the height of an equilateral triangle. Each side of the triangle equals the flag’s width. A sun with eight equal rays (two vertical, two horizontal) is placed centrally, with three golden stars in each corner, all proportioned based on the flag’s width.
Although the colors of the Philippine flag may vary across different versions seen online or in print, there is an official color standard. Republic Act No. 8491 (1998), also known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines, defines the flag’s colors using cable numbers from the Color Association of the United States: blue (Cable No. 80173), white (Cable No. 80001), crimson red (Cable No. 80108), and golden yellow (Cable No. 80068).
