This morning, we turned over to the Office of the Ombudsman for their further evaluation and ‘motu proprio’ investigation all the documentary and testimonial evidence, ie official records culled from government websites, while others were supplied by reliable sources, that we have gathered so far.
We are looking at cases of plunder, malversation, violations of the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act (RA 3019), etc.
Just as we thought last year that Bulacan was the microcosm of flood control project anomalies, Taguig is something else - employing old and new tricks, like passing off an illegal reclamation project as slope protection structures with several ghost projects, cases of double appropriations, recycled photos belonging to past and already completed contracts to bill and collect for new ones - all controlled by one person, dating as far back as 2019.
For the period 2020-2025 alone, Taguig has accumulated P14.4B worth of infra projects and still counting.
We hope the excellent research and investigative work that my staff did in this regard won’t be wasted and will contribute to the Ombudsman’s efforts to expedite their investigation.
We will continue to submit to the Ombudsman whatever pieces of evidence we can still secure to help them achieve our shared crusade against graft and corruption.

Pasado na sa Third Reading ang ating kambal na panukalang batas—ang 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁 at ang 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁—mga mahahalagang reporma upang mapalakas ang food security ng bansa at maiangat ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda.
Isa itong mahalagang hakbang tungo sa pagbuo ng mas matatag, mas produktibo, at mas sustainable na sektor ng agrikultura na makatitiyak ng sapat at abot-kayang pagkain para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino.
Layunin ng 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟭, o ang 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝘁, na magtatag ng isang mas matatag, mas mabilis tumugon, at mas coordinated na 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 na magbibigay sa mga magsasaka at mangingisda ng napapanahong technical assistance, research-based technologies, climate-smart farming practices, at tuloy-tuloy na capacity-building.
Samantala, layunin naman ng 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗡𝗼. 𝟭𝟵𝟵𝟬, o ang 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁, na muling itatag ang 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘂 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 upang palakasin ang kakayahan ng mga magsasaka at mangingisda na makapag-organisa at maging mas competitive.
Kapag mas matatag ang ating mga agricultural cooperatives, mas mapapadali ang kanilang access sa financing, mga pamilihan, makinarya at kagamitan, at iba pang value-adding opportunities na makapagpapalaki ng kanilang kita.
Nagpapasalamat tayo sa ating mga kapwa senador sa kanilang suporta sa mga panukalang ito. Umaasa rin tayo na agad na makukumpleto ng Kongreso ang legislative process upang maisabatas ang mga ito.

⚠️ That’s not the issue.
The issue is dapat bang bayaran ng tao ang kuryente na hindi nila nakuha.
Should the public bear the cost? NO.
No electricity, no pay. ⚡️

While some EX-CONVICT was cosplaying as hero and fiddling as a factotum of a mass murder TRAPO, this is what a TRUE CELEBRITY HERO and patriot was doing:
