@ABSCBNNews A true example of BLIND LOYALTY. He himself said he got "donation money" which he didn't declare in his SOCE. Tapos dedefend nyo & claim pinapatahimik siya? Umuusad ang cases sa mga involved sa flood control. You claim to be for accountability but not if it involves your own. Pwe
Revoking access immediately after someone resigns can make sense if there's a legitimate security concern or the employee is leaving under difficult circumstances. But if the company still expects that person to complete a handover, cutting off access to the very systems they need to transfer knowledge is counterproductive.
“Europeans Do Not Beg Anyone”: Meloni’s Defiant EUCO Moment as Trump Watches!
@GiorgiaMeloni arrived at the European Council with unmistakable Italian confidence — and left with her eyes on the phone, as Europe waited for @realDonaldTrump’s reaction.
But the message is bigger than one summit, one leader or one phone screen. It is about Europe’s dignity. Europe cannot afford to look weak. Europe cannot wait for permission. Europe cannot beg Washington, Beijing, Moscow or anyone else.
Meloni’s message is clear: allies must be respected, not obeyed. Partners must be engaged, not feared. And Europe must defend its interests with strength, pride and political courage.
We stand with Meloni. Europeans do not beg anyone.

The mask of diplomatic politeness completely shattered at the 2025 Shangri-La Dialogue defense forum when a Chinese military official essentially demanded to know why the Philippines cannot be as obedient as Vietnam and Malaysia. While it is not new news, this raw exchange exposes the Chinese Communist Party's true attitude toward its smaller neighbors: demanding absolute submission under the guise of diplomatic dialogue.
During a tense panel, Chinese delegate Senior Colonel Qi Dapeng openly pressured Manila, accusing them of acting as a foreign proxy. Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. refused to back down, delivering a blistering response that left the room in applause:
Chinese Delegate: "Both Vietnam and Malaysia have differences with China in the South China Sea. Yet both countries have effectively managed these differences with China. My question is, why cannot the Philippines do the same? ... Or does the Philippines intend to act as a proxy for external powers...?"
Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr.: "Thank you for the propaganda spiel disguised as questions... The international community does not support China's claims. Dialogue requires trust. I myself cannot trust a country that oppresses its own citizens."
