Former president Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III, who chose to be called “P-Noy” by the Filipino people when he was elected president in 2010, died five years ago today at the age of 61 from “renal failure.”
He passed away quietly. In sickness and in health, and even in his final days, he didn’t want to create a fuss. | via @onenewsph

Sinamahan ako ni Justice Antonio Carpio sa National Library para makita ang 4 na sovereignty maps ng Pilipinas na nagpapatunay na atin ang West Philippine Sea. Maligayang Araw ng Kalayaan sa lahat! 🇵🇭
You cannot invoke the Constitution only when it is convenient.
When you prevent the Senate from functioning as mandated by the Constitution, you violate the Constitution.
When you refuse to convene the Senate for three consecutive days, you violate the Constitution.
Do not dare ask to be rescued by the very Constitution you violated.
Handa kaming magtrabaho, pero ayon sa Senate rules, kung wala ang SP o walang quorum, walang session.
We wait until the SP returns and fulfills his sworn duty.
Madaming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan. Nanganganib na naman ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa nalalapit na super El Niño.
Ang gobyernong hindi kayang sundin ang sarili nitong patakaran, hindi kayang solusyunan ang problema ng mga magsasaka, mangingisda, manggagawa, at ordinaryong pamilyang Pilipino.
Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ordered the continued detention of former president Rodrigo Duterte due to persistent risks of flight and obstruction of justice.
In an eight-page decision dated May 22, Trial Chamber III ruled that no significant circumstances justify his release. The court emphasized that the confirmation of charges against Duterte last April increases the risk of him absconding. (📷: ICC) | via @eon_sanchez
Quote of the day: “Wala man lang nangumusta sa amin!”
Paano mo ba naman kukumustahin ang mga masasayang nagkakainan, nagkakape at naka FB live pa para pagbintangan ang minority bloc na may alam daw sa putukan ng baril sa Senado?
Sen. @kikopangilinan, Sen. @bamaquino, Sen. @WinGatchalian74, and Sen. @risahontiveros made meaningful strides through their respective committee leadership roles. We hope they will continue to lead in the areas where they have consistently shown competence, integrity, and genuine public service.
All this chaos.
Just to protect the Dutertes and their allies.
The country has sacrificed too much—our institutions, our democracy, and far too many lives—for the survival of people who believe they are above accountability.
Legitimate news outlets will always matter. News gathering and reporting is critical for citizens to stay informed and to know the truth. Maraming salamat sa inyong serbisyo.

She may have finished her term as Vice President back in 2022, but the Angat Buhay movement she started in 2016 continued to serve the underserved and make the most of what they have been given.
Leni Robredo's impact will not be based on electoral victories, but on the changed lives and communities she and Angat Buhay have made possible.
Salamat, Mayor Leni Robredo. Salamat, Angat Buhay. Mabuhay kayo!
Kung mapagbotohan sa Kamara na sa ikalawang beses ay ma-impeach na naman si VP Sara, nakasaad sa Konstitusyon na dapat umusad ito sa isang paglilitis sa Senado. It is an imperative constitutional process. The language of the Constitution says “shall” proceed, not “may”. Hindi dapat ipinagpapaliban ang paghahanap ng pananagutan.
