He said nothing in this post. No substance. Just plea. The Senate is a constitutionally mandated branch of the government to create laws. The Constitution gave them partial immunity to minor offenses not total immunity from arrest.
Funny that the law the Senate create bit back.
READ: Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano’s message to the minority bloc. Cayetano called on the bloc to protect the independence of the Senate.
“I am asking you to join one deliberate act — to let the Senate go quiet, together and by choice, so the country is made to ask why a co-equal branch would fall silent rather than be made to serve,” part of his message said.
UP-PGH PERFORMS FIRST SUCCESSFUL PEDIATRIC LIVER TRANSPLANT IN GOV’T HOSPITAL
The UP-Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) has successfully performed its first pediatric liver transplant in a government hospital, according to UP-PGH. The procedure saved a nine-year-old boy diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare condition in infants in which the bile ducts become scarred and blocked, preventing bile from draining into the intestine and causing progressive liver damage.
Hospital officials said the surgery followed the standard stepwise treatment approach, early diagnosis, the Kasai procedure to restore bile flow, and when liver disease progresses despite surgery, liver transplantation as the definitive life-saving option. They added that pediatric liver transplants in government hospitals are rare due to the complexity, need for specialized medical teams, and high costs.
Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko” Domagoso reportedly helped fund the procedure, pooling resources from private companies, philanthropists, and his personal funds. The mayor visited the patient on November 18, where he was received by UP Manila Chancellor Dr. Michael Tee and UP-PGH Director Gerardo Legaspi.
“This is a milestone for public healthcare in the Philippines and demonstrates that world-class procedures can be performed in government hospitals,” Legaspi said, emphasizing the hospital’s commitment to making advanced treatments more accessible to Filipino children.
According to UP-PGH, the hospital is now preparing to expand its pediatric transplant program, with plans to perform more life-saving surgeries for children with liver diseases in the coming years.
I love it when fanatics challenge others for the facts and lies involving Duterte and his corrupt and murderous regime.
1. Universal Healthcare Law?
Not Duterte’s. It was authored under Aquino’s term (RA 11223) and passed by Congress before Duterte even signed it. He merely took the pen and the credit.
2. Anti-terrorsm law?
A law so abused it became a license for red-tagging and silencng critics. It didn’t stop terrorism, rather it weaponised fear.
3. Low Crime Rate?
Because thousands were killed without trial. Crime dropped because the accused were buried, not bcause justice prevailed.
4. No Corruption Issue?
Tell that to Pharmally! P11 billion in overprced PPEs traced to Duterte’s budget circle. Even the Senate called it plunder in plain sight.
5. Disaster and pandemic relief?
Billions in unliquidated pandemic funds, slow vaccine rollout, and relief goods rotting in warehouses while Filipnos starved.
TABERNA REVEALS PARTIAL LIST OF ALLEGED SENATE 'INSERTIONS' IN 2025 BUDGET
Broadcaster Anthony Taberna on Sunday released a partial list of alleged budget "insertions" by senators in the 2025 national budget following criticisms directed at him online.
Taberna did not clarify whether the figures referred to amendments, bicameral insertions, or post-bicam adjustments.
According to the list he showed, former Grace Poe reportedly topped the alleged allocations with ₱11.414 billion, followed by Francis Tolentino with ₱6.3 billion, Imee Marcos with ₱5.913 billion, and Raffy Tulfo with ₱5.181 billion.
The list also included Lito Lapid (₱4.76B), Cynthia Villar (₱4.368B), Nancy Binay (₱4.187B), Pia Cayetano (₱4.139B), JV Ejercito (₱3.831B), Koko Pimentel (₱3.788B), Bong Go (₱3.647B), Mark Villar (₱3.639B), Risa Hontiveros (₱3.036B), and Migz Zubiri (₱2.095B).
Notably missing from the list were Chiz Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada, Joel Villanueva, Alan Peter Cayetano, Bato Dela Rosa, Loren Legarda, Robinhood Padilla, and Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr., as well as Sonny Angara, who was no longer part of the chamber by July 2024 after being appointed Education Secretary.
Taberna has yet to disclose the source of the document or provide evidence of its authenticity.
Justice Spokesperson Mico Clavano says Sarah Discaya's finger heart sign and remarks made during her visit to the DOJ headquarters on Saturday, September 27, are being taken into consideration.
