I’m gonna give this episode to Jury, which I think is redefining how #SparksCamp4 and future seasons will evolve. More than “chasing for that spark”, the camp should really open more conversations about knowing oneself more. The spark should be the power-up, not the goal.

I hope we don’t frame this as may “pag-asa” na magbago ang tao in terms of their sexual orientation. Sexual orientation is a spectrum, and it changes over time. Love is magical, and love is love. Let’s leave it at that. #GowtchShowtime

What a strong #SONA2026 speech! Nabanggit uli ang HIV at TB after 3 years! Careful lang tayo sa pag-equate that online content increases HIV cases. Rather, let’s take opportunity of the accessibility of internet to break misinformation and stigma against HIV (and TB).

Trans trailblazer Lance Reblando condemned violence within the LGBTQ+ community, issuing a statement following a resurfaced incident involving "Drag Race PH" S3 winner Maxie Andreison physically assaulting a trans woman three years ago.

Taking to social media, Reblando expressed disappointment and heartbreak over the issue, which reportedly involved Andreison kicking and slapping a trans woman after a drag event.

"Kahit saang anggulo naman tingnan, hindi kailanman magiging valid ang violence at pananakit lalo na ng babae," Reblando began, emphasizing that physical harm can never be justified under any circumstance.

For Reblando, the incident is a major blow to a community that continues to fight for survival and safe spaces in a restrictive society. "Sa lipunang patuloy kaming sinisiil, kinakahon at pinapatay, abot langit ang sayang dulot sa amin ng isang tao at espasyong ligtas at mapagpalaya," she wrote.

"Pero kung manggagaling ang karahasang ito sa isang indibidwal na may plataporma at miyembro mismo ng queer community, sa Pride Month, nakakapanlumo at nginig ng laman."

Reblando also lamented how internal violence undermines the collective struggle for queer rights, questioning how the community can move forward when its own members turn against each other.

"Tayo-tayo na nga lang ang magtutulungang isulong at ipaglaban ang karapatang matagal na nating nililimos, tapos ganito?" Reblando added, urging public figures to be more mindful of the examples they set. "Siguro pag-isipan nating mabuti kung ginagamit nating maayos ang ating impluwensya lalo na sa queer kids na makakakita, [makakarinig at makakakilala] sa atin."

Concluding the post with a call for accountability and self-reflection, Reblando wrote, "Umuunlad ang tao, oo, pero kung in a span of how many weeks ay ganito na ang degree mo ng pagpapakilala, hindi ko na alam. Siguro makakatulong ang kaunting respeto sa sarili. Baka naman gumana."

Reblando ended the statement with the hashtag #protectthedolls, a phrase widely used by the community and allies to advocate for the safety and protection of transgender women.

Following the resurfaced incident, Maxie took to Instagram Live to claim that she has since apologized to the victim, alleging that they have moved on from the issue. Unconfirmed reports circulating online claim otherwise.

BATO NOW PART OF ICC WANTED LIST

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has formally included Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa on its public wanted list on Wednesday.

The warrant, originally issued under seal on November 6, 2025, was made public on May 11, 2026.

The charges pertain to his role as the Philippine National Police chief, citing alleged responsibility for crimes against humanity during the Duterte administration.

Meanwhile, the profile of former president Rodrigo Duterte is also seen in the website with a state that read, "in ICC custody."

I hope our legislative friends in US Congress proceed with an impeachment.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This statement changes nothing.

The President has threatened a genocide against the Iranian people, and is continuing to leverage that threat.

He has launched a massive war of enormous risk and of catastrophic consequence without reason, rationale, nor Congressional authorization - which is as clear a violation of the Constitution as any. Each day this goes on, the risk and criminality of these actions escalate for our nation and the world.

Moreover, this administration’s self enrichment, insider trading, and pure corruption off this chaos - from crypto currencies to predictive trading markets to bribe “settlements” - has placed the Trump administration’s pursuit of personal wealth squarely against the wellbeing of our nation and its people.

All of these incidents, and plenty more, have clearly driven our country past the threshold for impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment.

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer. None of these considerations should be partisan, but shared in good faith by Americans of all backgrounds who care for the safety and stability of the United States.

Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.
