LENI'S CHOICE
Former Vice President Leni Robredo has made her Senate picks clear, endorsing former Senators Kiko Pangilinan and Bam Aquino while expressing her support for former Commission on Audit (COA) Commissioner Heidi Mendoza and 2021 Ramon Magsaysay Awardee Ka Dodoy Ballon.
At the Kiko-Bam 2025 People's Campaign Kickoff Rally in Dasmariñas Arena, Cavite, on February 11, Robredo urged supporters to elect principled leaders who would stand alongside Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros in the upper chamber. She emphasized the need for strong allies in the fight for good governance, social justice, and economic reforms.
"Mas gagaan ang laban pag meron siyang kasama. Kaya ang susunod na atas para sa ating lahat—bigyan natin si Senator Risa ng mga kaalyado at katuwang—mga kapwa niya matitino at mahuhusay na titindig kasama niya sa lahat ng laban," Robredo said.
She highlighted Aquino's advocacy for free education and job security and praised Pangilinan's commitment to food security and good governance, recalling his selfless decision to run as her vice-presidential candidate in 2022 despite the uncertain outcome.
Robredo also publicly declared her support for Mendoza, stating that she would "definitely vote" for her. She made the statement in response to a social media comment urging her to include Mendoza in her endorsements.
Meanwhile, in Naga City, Robredo also raised the hand of Ballon, a former small-scale fisherman who became a champion of sustainable fishing and marine conservation.
Trump se gastó 14 millones de dólares en pintar de azul oscuro la piscina del Memorial Lincoln... pero no pensó que la pintura oscura elevaría la temperatura y provocaría algas.
Ahora para quitar las algas, Trump ideó verter peróxido de hidrógeno... pero no pensó que este químico removería la pintura por la que pagó 14 millones de dólares.

THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:
Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.
WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!
@IanIslander3@DeusXMachina14@QuingAndre My prediction: the special session will happen first and the Gatchalian bloc will have an undeniable majority. SC will punt and say that the petition is moot, but there will be a couple of dissents from those who want the SC to resolve the issue of quorum for good. Lol
MILLIONS OF CAVITE COMMUTERS WHO HAVE WAITED SO LONG DESERVE ANSWERS
Senators Mark and Camille Villar are reportedly blocking the continuation of the Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT-1) extension project in Cavite, according to Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla.
“We are investigating (the claims). The project should’ve extended to Cavite by now, but we’re still verifying rumors that the Villar senators were going against the alignment. They want the rail system to traverse their lands,” Remulla told radio dzRH on Saturday.

@CollabS12PBB IF it's true that the Gatchalian bloc will have 13 members by tomorrow (in the special session), I have a strong feeling that the Supreme Court will punt and say that the issue is already moot. But expect dissenting opinions from justices who would prefer to weigh in.
ANONG BASURA NA EBIDENSYA YAN NA MAY PICTURE?
Puro pasaring. Puro alegasyon. Puro palabas.
At dahil dinamay niyo pa ang pamilya ko, makakatikim kayo ng hindi pasaring, alegasyon, o palabas na kaso sa korte. Pananagutan ninyo ang paninirang ginagawa niyo.
Tinanong ako ng isang kaibigan na hindi basketball fan kanina:
“Bakit parang buong bansa ang nagluluksa sa pagkawala ni Rene?”
Napaisip ako.
Sabi ko, dahil si Rene ay mahusay, pero walang yabang. Masipag, pursigido, at punong-puno ng pangarap. Mahal na mahal niya ang kanyang pamilya. Isa siyang batang ang tanging hangarin ay maiahon sila sa kahirapan. Isa siyang batang nangangarap na makapaglaro sa UAAP. Mahal niya ang Ateneo. Mahal niya ang Agusan. Mahal niya ang Mindanao. Mahal niya ang pinanggalingan niya. Isang batang nangangarap.
Napaisip ulit ako.
Baka kaya ganoon kasakit, dahil marami sa atin ang nakikita ang sarili natin kay Rene. Mahal din natin ang ating mga magulang at mga kapatid. May mga batang nangangarap ding makapaglaro sa UAAP. May mga batang gustong maging Atenista. May mga batang nangangarap ng mas magandang buhay para sa kanilang pamilya.
Baka nga ako si Bobet. Baka nga ikaw si Bobet.
Tayo si Bobet. 💔
