This is who the Senate Majority wants to afford the very extraordinary privilege of voting virtually, which could be given to other Senators from their bloc who are also facing legal battles.
Tama si Sen. Risa when she said:
“Then and now, there should be respect for legal authority. The Senate should not pave the way for a member to continue to vote, influence policies and receive institutional benefits of office - despite refusing to submit to lawful arrest or judicial authority.”
SHOTS FIRED 🔥 I didn't vote for Sen Erwin Tulfo, pero salamat sa pagsama sa minority at sa pagsama sa laban. This may be the bare minimum, bilang dapat naman talagang maging tapat s'ya sa tungkulin niya, pero sa estado ng Senate ngayon, I can't help but be thankful. 😬
Hindi siya masyadong napapansin noon at may mga bashers because of "that" photo. Never naging official member. Nanatiling KKS from 1st hanggang last day as MNL48.

I'VE COMPILED ALL THE TRUTHS ABOUT #MNL48 SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO:
1. HHE staff members were later transferred into MNL48 Inc., which was eventually renamed POS Inc. due to trademark issues.
2. Everything was going great for MNL48 because of the efforts of GM Abby, Andi, and Dana. However, after Sulong Con, MNL48 suddenly stopped posting. It seems that Kurosawa started a legal battle against the new management, which forced them to rename MNL48 Inc. to POS Inc. and even attempt to change the MNL48 branding itself. Little did they know that Kuro P still had access to Spotify and Apple Music, which caused the songs and releases to disappear. That was when they realized that Kuro P could still copyright and control everything while the legal battle was ongoing, which eventually led them to give up.
3. It seems that GM Abby's didn't chose to renew her contract earlier this May, which was also the same date she was announced as the GM of MNL48, or she resigned due to the inactivity and the constant criticism calling her a useless manager. However, the real reason appears to be the ongoing legal battle, which prohibited the use of MNL48 social media accounts. That is why we barely heard anything from MNL48 for such a long time until the release of the PFC 2026 MV, which seemed to be Abby's last appeal to management. She might have even spoke to Kuro P, in exchange for Abby leaving the group, before the PFC MV was suddenly published.
4. Former MNL48 members Riri and Maj shared screenshots of conversations with Miyaka's older sister, Elijah Mazza. However, those screenshots were later used against Abby, with accusations being directed at her because she was part of management and also a former member. It is unfair to claim that Abby tolerated everything when we didn'tknow what really happened she was obviously pointing finger to Abby but in the screenshots involving Abby on an event, where Abby asked Maj to go home by booking her a Grab ride at Abby's own expense because she was worried that Maj would be left alone in the hotel room without food and without any adult supervision. Ethan, who was the road manager of the group, was also not allowed to stay in the same room because they were of different genders.
5. Livestreaming was not part of the members' original contracts. However, Livebuzz later insisted on introducing livestreaming, which resulted in the members being given new contracts related to livestream activities. The members were reportedly required to complete hourly quotas before receiving their salary. Hazel, a former HHE employee, was the one handling this system. Based on the screenshots, Hazel was reminding Riri that she needed to complete her required livestream hours. Riri's required hours appeared to be longer than most members because Abby insisted on doubling her salary due to Riri being far from her family. Unfortunately, management also increased the number of hours Riri had to render, which eventually caused her exhaustion and burnout. Based on the situation, Abby did not directly manage the livestreaming side because it was under Livebuzz and not MNL48 itself, meaning Abby had little to no control over it since the instructions came from the Japan management.
6. The new management eventually left Abby to face the backlash and anger of the fans. Mirai even had to stay at Abby's apartment for some time. Abby also used her own van for transportation, her studio for livestreaming at certain points, and even her own apartments whenever members needed a place to stay late.
7. At this point, all copyrights now appear to be handled again by HHE or Kuro P, as seen on Spotify and Apple Music. It seems that he ultimately won the legal battle. Maybe there are plans to bring back MNL48 in the future, or maybe he will simply continue collecting the royalties. That is the whole story.
MNL48 TO CEASE ACTIVITIES BY END OF MAY
READ: Filipino idol girl group MNL48 is set to conclude all activities by the end of May 2026, according to a statement released by P.O.S Inc. today, May 20.
The “Pag-Ibig Fortune Cookie” hitmakers cited difficulty in sustaining its management structure, its future operating environment, and the various conditions necessary to continue supporting the group in a stable manner as reasons for their retirement.
“As management, we have done our utmost to carry MNL48 forward in the best possible way. We deeply apologize for not being able to fully meet everyone's expectations in the end,” the statement read.

MNL48 was there when BINI was just starting. A trailblazer and a pioneer for P-POP girl groups. An end of an era that bridged generations today with a bevy of GGs in PH debuting, rising, blooming and thriving. 2,3 thank you po! Walang hanggang pasasalamat!🥹🌺
