With all due respect to the Senator-Judge at para hindi maligaw ang publiko, ito po ang konteksto at kumpleto na sinabi ko:
“(Ang fishing expedition) ay maaaring sabihin nating nangyari kung only if the party requesting the evidence or documents ay nagbabakasakali lang, baka may makuha tayo dito.”
Linawin ko po: Hindi tayo nagbabakasakali lang. May probable cause o sapat na dahilan na nakita sa mga record ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) tungkol sa bilyun-bilyong dumaan sa accounts ng VP at kanyang asawa.
Hiningi natin ang bank records para makita kung tugma ito sa sinasabi ng AMLC reports. Tandaan: Ang bank records ay maaari lang mailabas kapag may utos o subpoena mula sa korte. Ibig sabihin, kung nabuksan ng Kamara ang mismong bank records bago ang trial, paglabag yan sa karapatan at due process ni VP Sara Duterte.
Ngayong may subpoena na para sa bank records ng Bise Presidente, magagamit ito ng magkabilang panig para patunayan ang kanilang kaso.
Sa ganitong paraan, makakapagpasya ang mga Senator-Judges batay sa kabuuan ng ebidensya.
‘SAAN KA NAKAKITA NG JUDGE NA TINO-TROLL ONLINE ANG PROSECUTION’
Akbayan Party-list on Saturday, July 25, criticized Sen. Pia Cayetano over a Facebook video she posted a day earlier featuring House prosecutor Rep. Chel Diokno's exchange with her brother, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, during the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.
In a statement on X, Akbayan alleged that the clip was a "spliced video" and accused Cayetano of misrepresenting the exchange.
"Ang abogadong may argumentong pilipit, sa spliced video kumakapit. Dahil nasoplak ni Akbayan Rep. Chel Diokno ang magkapatid na senator-judge, pilit nilang binabaluktot ang kwento. Ang sad, noh? Move on na po. Better luck next time. 'That's just how it is,'" the party said.
Akbayan also questioned Cayetano's conduct as a senator-judge, adding: "Pero ang mas nakakalungkot, ganito ang content ng isang senator-judge. Linyang-linya sa kampo ni Sara.”
CALLING OUT SENATOR JUDGE PIA CAYETANO!
Spliced videos — how long can Pia Cayetano get? The whole narrative with more than 1 million views is an unfair representation of what actually happened during the hearing.
The Senate President and the Presiding Officer should call this one out!
It is bad enough that Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano seem to be favoring the accused on their line of questioning and manifesting. But the line should be drawn on the social media fake news peddling!
Hindi naman na marunong mahiya ang mga Cayetano!
Ang abogadong may argumentong pilipit, sa spliced video kumakapit. Dahil nasoplak ni Akbayan Rep. Chel Diokno ang magkapatid na senator-judge, pilit nilang binabaluktot ang kwento. Ang sad, noh? Move on na po. Better luck next time. “That's just how it is.”
Pero ang mas nakakalungkot, ganito ang content ng isang senator-judge. Linyang-linya sa kampo ni Sara. Saan ka nakakita ng judge na tino-troll online ang prosecution? Sino ngayon ang one-sided?

Akbayan Party evaluates every major investment according to a consistent set of democratic, developmental, labor, environmental, and sovereignty principles. Investments should strengthen Philippine sovereignty, uphold ecological integrity, create decent work, develop domestic technological capabilities, respect workers' rights, promote peace, deepen democratic institutions, and contribute to a resilient and inclusive economy. Projects that advance these objectives deserve support. Those that undermine them should be opposed regardless whether they come from the United States, China, or anywhere else.
The Philippines should welcome investments that expand our industrial base, accelerate innovation, and enable Filipino workers and enterprises to move into higher-value industries. But investment alone does not constitute development. Foreign investments must generate meaningful technology transfer, quality employment, skills development, fair labor standards, responsible environmental stewardship, and opportunities for Filipino firms while avoiding one-sided economic dependency, excessive market concentration, and undue foreign influence over strategic sectors.
Akbayan therefore calls on Congress to conduct a comprehensive inquiry in aid of legislation to determine whether Pax Silica genuinely advances our national interest. The inquiry should examine its economic, technological, labor, environmental, national security, cybersecurity, and data governance implications; the transparency of its negotiations and incentives; its ownership structure and regulatory compliance; and the adequacy of safeguards against monopoly, undue foreign influence, and risks to critical infrastructure. It should likewise ensure full protection of workers' rights, including freedom of association and collective bargaining, and affirm that Philippine law shall govern, with all disputes falling exclusively within the jurisdiction of Philippine quasi-judicial bodies and courts.
The inquiry should also determine whether the project’s planned hyperscale data centers and supporting infrastructure will place unsustainable demands on our country’s electricity and water resources, contribute to the conversion of productive agricultural land, or impose unacceptable social and environmental costs on the host communities of Capas and Bamban. Congress must hear directly from local governments, workers, trade unions, farmers, indigenous people where applicable, environmental experts, civil society, and industry stakeholders before any long-term commitments are made.
Beyond this, public discussion on Pax Silica should become an opportunity for our country to push for a coherent industrial strategy that identifies the industries it seeks to build, the technologies it intends to develop, and the quality jobs it aims to create so that major investments reinforce a long-term national development agenda rather than define it.
For Akbayan, the issue has never been whether foreign investments come from the East or the West. The real question is whether it serves the Filipino people. Innovation must strengthen Philippine sovereignty, create shared prosperity, and advance a technologically capable, economically resilient, democratically governed, and socially just nation.

Look at this. Imagine all the worst that could’ve happened if that project will be pushed through.
Hirap na nga ang typical na Pinoy na makakuha ng maayos at tuloy-tuloy na tubig, tapos gusto nyo pang magka ai data center tayo?
Wake up. Reject Pax Silica.

what's the point of creating more jobs if the basic needs such as water and food are compromised? if this is the only way for you to produce "more jobs", then it says a lot about how INCOMPETENT you are that you have to trade off the essential human needs and the environment.
