‘ALL THIS FOR A MAN WHO SIMPLY DOESN’T WANT TO FACE THE LAW’
Sen. Risa Hontiveros pushed back against attempts to link minority senators to the Senate incident, saying the narrative being spread is politically motivated.
“There is only one reason some bad faith actors are trying very hard to make this controversial event about me and other Minority senators and the times we went home. All this for a man who simply doesn’t want to face the law. That’s it. That’s the whole story,” she said.
Hontiveros stressed that Senate employees had already gone home and that she was in the province for a scheduled engagement, rejecting what she described as politicization of routine movements.
She also called for accountability and urged Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa to cooperate with authorities, saying the public deserves a full, independent and transparent accounting of the incident.

I don’t know if it even has to be said, but CHED proposing to trim humanities from college GE subjects at a time when people have gotten so comfortable openly dehumanizing others is either crazy, irresponsible, or both.
“Huwag po natin hayaan na ang kultura, yung parang natural na lamang ang pagpatay ay kumalat — baka masanay tayo at hindi na natin na namalayan, tayo ay nagpapalaganap na ng isang mentalidad, isang gawi ng buhay na ang dala-dala pala ay kamatayan.” - Cardinal Tagle
One thing is clear tonight: the Duterte-allied Senate bloc is willing to plunge the institution into chaos and to weaponise fear, all to shield one of their own from accountability.
All this chaos.
Just to protect the Dutertes and their allies.
The country has sacrificed too much—our institutions, our democracy, and far too many lives—for the survival of people who believe they are above accountability.
