[OKAY, THIS SHOULD GET OUT THERE]
Don't vote for VILLAR Thread
These Villars portraying themselves as champions of the poor, deeply connected to the struggles of ordinary Filipnos — but let me share a PERSONAL STORY of how I have dealt w/ Camella, a business under their empire.
I can hate Duterte and Marcos ng sabay. Hindi naman mutually exclusive yan eh.
Porke natuwa ako sa pagkakulong ni Duterte, Marcos na ako? I hate Marcos' corruption and incompetence.
Panagutin si Duterte. Panagutin si Marcos. Mag multi tasking tayo.
😛😛😛
Mga anak we need to increase our awareness. 💜🇵🇭
Wala tayong gimmick , malalaking billboard or makinarya na aasahan.
Isang Retweet, Heart and Follow sapat na para dumadagdag ang ating hanay.
Let this be a CAMPAIGN OF THE PEOPLE. NOT OF THE TRAPOS.

We miss a government that is transparent, accountable, and while still imperfect, those in power acted like how public servants should, instead of being bullies and corrupt gods intoxicated with power.

Pakibasa nalang po mga kababayan na may pagmamahal pa sa ating bansa.

The best evidence of our political system's desperate bankruptcy is the proliferation of actors, actresses, and comedians dominating our legislative and executive branches, including the local government units. The enactment of laws and their implementations are now being entrusted to some people who never studied law or public administration.
Willy Revillame is a good man. He has helped a lot of people including the women that he loved. But that doesn’t make him prepared for the work of a senator. Philip Salvador is a fine actor. He made many people happy, including Kris Aquino, whom he gifted with a son. He belongs to a famous movie industry clan. But such credentials are not what are needed in the Senate. Lito Lapid is an excellent actor but he hasn’t performed enough in the Philippine Senate. By insisting to remain in the Senate, he effectively eased out the more qualified, the more competent candidates. His popularity isn’t a substitute for competence. The same is true with Bong Revilla. This guy has made politics his family business with his wife and sons all serving the government. What have they done?
Manny Pacquiao is the richest politician, next to the Villars. Of course, he deserves his wealth because he earned all of it. He did not steal money from the government. But the fact that he is a world champion in eight different boxing categories doesn’t make him prepared as a legislator. He hasn’t studied Political Science, much less Political Law and Constitutional Law. He isn’t even familiar with parliamentary rules and procedures. He appears odd when facing such parliamentarians as Chiz Esciudero, Alan Cayetano, and Francis Tolentino. He should aspire for an executive position if he wants to serve but not as a legislator. He is a good person and a good Filipino. But, with due respect, he can’t be a good senator. He should give way to the more competent candidates.
Tito Sotto has been a good public servant but he has served enough and at his age, he should give way to the younger, more dynamic and more progressive legislators. Erwin Tulfo should clarify his citizenship and explain to the people why the Commission on Appointments refused to confirm his appointment as DSWD secretary. He has an important issue to clarify to the Filipino voters. Ben Tulfo should stay away from the Senate and should instead leave Raffy Tulfo alone there. The Tulfos have to explain to the people about their sister’s problem when she was former president Duterte's Tourism secretary and her contract with a TV network which allegedly benefitted her brother.
Vilma Santos must be already in her seventies. She should tell us why she is running again for Batangas governor and why, of all people, she is taking her own son with Edu Manzano, Luis, as her vice governor. She should also explain why she is allowing her other son, Christian with husband Ralph, to run for congressman, when this very young Recto has never experienced having served even as a barangay kagawad. Vilma's husband is already the Finance secretary. Are there no other Filipinos who could serve in their stead? Why are they monopolizing political powers? Vilma had been governor for the longest time, what outstanding achievements could she brag about?
So ano yung pinagsasabi ng mga DDS na pro-Duterte daw si Trump? This is Marco Rubio, nominated Secretary of State talking about how Duterte messed up in terms of dealing with China. So anong bagong script ng mga DDS? Overtime ulit sa paggawa ng bagong fake news.
The Veloso family has thanked their supporters many times, including all their lawyers from NUPL, Migrante, church groups, civil society, the late President Aquino for getting a reprieve for Mary Jane in 2015, and President Marcos Jr. for Mary Jane’s transfer to Philippine custody. | via @zenhernandez
Dear young Pinoys, 3rd yr med student ako in 1986, 24y/o. Imagine yang pag EDSA namin walang internet, cel fones, news, cable. We only had PLDT landlines na may party line; Radio Veritas. How did it happen? Basta nagpunta kami.
Kamala Harris talks to young people during her concession speech:
“To the young people who are watching, it is okay to feel sad and disappointed. But please know it’s going to be okay. On the campaign, I’d often say when we fight we win. Sometimes the fight takes a while. That doesn’t mean we won’t win… don’t ever give up.”
Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Risa Hontiveros.
Ang nag-iisang tiyak sa isang institusyong lubhang kaduda-duda.
She has shown us what a senator should be—someone who is not afraid to speak truth to power, no matter how high the position.
Mabuhay ka, Sen. Risa! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yesterday the Upper Chamber was “invaded” by the former president of the republic. Only one consistently and steadfastly stood up to preserve the dignity of the Philippine Senate. She happens to be a woman who answers, “present” during a roll call. Her name: Risa Hontiveros.
