I just watched this masterpiece again tonight and wept my heart out. It really hits harder when you're older. Used to identify with Marianne, but now I'm Eleanor through and through.
Every time I see this perfect scene in SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, I not only weep, but I am desperate to see the camera pull back and reveal Ang Lee and his crew hysterically sobbing too.
CAYETANO TO MINORITY: 'KAYO 'YUNG NAMEMERSONAL'
Senate President Alan Cayetano holds a livestream on Facebook again following the Senate minority's call for his resignation on Tuesday.
"The issue is not work. The issue is our priority," he said.
The minority issued a joint statement urging Cayetano to step down after the absence of the majority from the plenary sessions for two consecutive days.

During the Rosary for peace in the Vatican Gardens, Pope Leo XIV reminded everyone present and praying around the world that all people must do their part to achieve peace. It must start with “small but important things, abstaining from every form of verbal or physical violence in daily life and also on social media.”
THE SENATE HAS BECOME THIS. TAPOS FAKE PALA ‘YUNG PUTUKAN - PBBM
WATCH: President Bongbong Marcos breaks his silence on the developments in the Senate.
HIGHLIGHTS:
1. No to online voting. Only Sen. Bato will benefit from it and if he wants to vote, he should show up.
For as much as people want to claim that the Catholic Church is “irrelevant” or a relic from a medieval past, notice how when the Church speaks on faith and morals, the world stops. Even if the world doesn’t faithfully follow the Church’s directives, the Church is still a “main character”. The Church is still a target of the world’s fluctuating emotions: anger and rage, awe and reverence, curiosity and inquiry.
Patriarch Bartholomew, the woman in Canterbury, the Mormon prophet—none captures the global attention. There isn’t 24/7 news coverage on the election of the president of the Southern Baptist Convention. No one ever hears about the Dalai Lama anymore.
Anthropic wouldn’t waste its time joining a Methodist convention on AI. Major news outlets and journalists wouldn’t flock to Geneva to hear what Lutherans have to say about artificial intelligence. When Islamic imams issue a fatwa, very rarely does anyone blink an eye. These religions and denominations don’t ever come off as having a moral authority beyond that of their own people.
But when the Catholic Church and the pope speaks, the world stops. Maybe the vast majority of people will argue and rant against its teaching (Humanae Vitae, 1968). Maybe what is taught will win favor among world leaders (Laudato Si, 2015). But the fact remains that the Church is seen as a major player on the world’s stage.
As I sit down to read Pope Leo XIV’s “Magnifica Humanitas” (Encyclical Letter on Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence), I realize that, like Catholics across millennia, I belong to not only a church, but the Church. I am a member of a supernatural society, one that continues the mission of Christ today, through His Spirit.
Whether it is mocked or praised, the Church has “main character energy”, because it simply is the main character of history. And when the main character speaks, you stop for a moment to listen. Or in this case, to read a 42,300-word encyclical.
The student council of Assumption College San Lorenzo has expressed support for a petition for the removal of Sen. Loren Legarda’s portrait from the school’s Wall of Empowered Women.
In a Facebook post on Friday night, the wall already shows a blank frame in a row of portraits.
The Assumption Student Council’s statement came days after Legarda cast her vote for Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano on Monday.
GMA News Online is trying to get a comment from Legarda and will publish it as soon as it is available.

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.
