PRESS STATEMENT
Rep. Terry Ridon
House Prosecutor
Wag tayong magtipid sa paglalarawan:
Kapag ordinaryong akusado ang sumasailalim sa booking process, may mugshot. Pero kapag Pangalawang Pangulo ang akusado, biglang walang mugshot.
Kung may legal na batayan para sa exemption, ipaliwanag nila. Kung wala, special treatment iyan.
Hindi ganyan ang itsura ng pantay na pagpapatupad ng batas. Pareho dapat ang proseso para sa lahat—ordinaryong mamamayan man o Pangalawang Pangulo.
can these senators stop complaining about juggling their responsibilities and working long hours?! you earn six figures A MONTH.
kapag pagod kami, we don’t have the luxury of having people work for us, of having staff handle things for us, or of simply stepping away when things get overwhelming. we still have to show up because we have bills to pay and families to support.
and let’s be very clear: kayo ang tumakbo. nobody forced you to seek public office. you asked for the privilege AND THE RESPONSIBILITY of serving the Filipino people. you campaigned for the position knowing exactly what it entails.
millions of Filipinos are working long hours for a fraction of what you earn, paying taxes that help fund the very government you represent, while getting far fewer resources, protections, and privileges in return.
so maybe stop acting like doing the job you actively sought is some extraordinary burden.
nakakahiya naman.
The people of the Philippines deserve sources of news and information that will tell them the truth.
Rappler, and Maria Ressa, tell the truth.
Shutting the site down would be a grave disservice to the country and its people.
Q: Fil-Ams, why should you care? I’ve gotten messages from people asking me why I’m speaking on the Marcos & Duterte election results, and “why do you care? You don’t even live there?!” Because 99% of my relatives live in the Philippines, and their politics will affect them…
In times of death, the stages of grief end with acceptance.
But for a country that is still living and for a movement that remains alive, our stages of grief must end with resistance.
