Sen Risa has elevated her profile, made herself a more household name than before, yes--but not enough to be palatable to a large sector of the non-Pink vote.
Hindi pa talaga puwede. Let's not let the enemy win big like in 2022.
Leni pa rin. ๐

Yes because when your "cultural revolution" comes people's thoughts will be occupied by trying to survive another day without getting humiliated or beaten after a struggle session !! ๐
Secretary of State Marco Rubio commemorates the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre:
โOn June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square.
Chinese students, workers, and other civilians who lost their lives had gathered to exercise their natural rights and demand democratic reforms and accountability for corruption.
We remember their lives and honor their legacy. No amount of censorship can erase the past. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.โ
Here's a thing that not a lot of people are paying attention to. Well-oiled machine ang minority.
Erwin has been positioning himself slowly as the speaker of the minority and it became incredibly obvious today. He's been giving interviews on some shows as recently as yesterday morning sa ANC. But it doesn't stop there.
Notice how the other members are often speaking when the journalists are there sa loob ng Senate halls. They're not shying away from the questions. Ang daming sound byte lalo na si Sen. Migz and Sen. Raffy, sometimes Sen. Bam as well. After that, Sen. Kiko, Sen. Risa, and/or Sen. Sherwin are often the ones to post the statement of the minority immediately.
Recently, even Sen. JV is not shying away from the journalists sa loob ng Senate halls. Sen. Ping is open about his disappointment thru his twitter account while Sen. Tito is their go-to pagdating sa rules and representation of statesmanship as the former SP. And today, EVEN Sen. Lito was not hiding his disappointment by joking out loud what he would do if presiding officer siya.
They may not agree on every little principle they have, but the minority is united.
I wasn't a fan of the Tulfo brothers, they became the external backbone of a minority whose principles just needed to be spoken out loud. That is how you use your specialty for the greater good.
Long live this Solid Block 11!
