Justice Leonen said that ‘suffrage is a fundamental right rather than a dispensable privilege’. Do we really see it this way? Do we really treat this right pursuant to its true value? If surveys are to be believed, we probably do not. #realtalk lang.

@PhilippineStar It's not hard to make a joke out of the impeachment process considering how the senators and counsels have made a farce out of it. #realtalk lang.

@newswatchplusph When you're not cosplaying as judges. 😅

#realtalk lang. For as long as we don’t have at least three monster ships patrolling our seas, we will always be vulnerable to foreign aggression. Clowns and plunderers in Congress are preventing us from becoming a maritime powerhouse in our region.

@Politiko_Ph Are senators bound by the rule on precedence? Or can they render an acquittal verdict on the basis that they sincerely believe that the Corona conviction was wrong? 🤔

[Michael Henry Yusingco @mhyusingco]

The clowns and plunderers in Congress have prevented us from becoming a maritime powerhouse in the region. #realtalk lang. They’ve kept us weak. They’re fundamentally the reason why we’re not feared and respected in our neck of the woods.

@gmanews Hopefully, this bravado from the finance committee chair translates to protecting the allocation for the AFP modernization program during budget deliberations. #realtalk lang.

@PhilippineStar @onenewsph Will her lawyers be savvy enough to deal with this public clamour? She paid good money for their service.

[Michael Henry Yusingco @mhyusingco]

This impeachment trial was a farce when it began and continues to be one at a huge cost to taxpayers. Worst of all, it’s not even meeting its primary objective, which is to weaken the 2028 chances of the VP. #realtalk lang.

@newswatchplusph The absurdity of this demonstration is truly unsettling.

[Michael Henry Yusingco @mhyusingco]

Legal luminaries will have the adroitness to formulate an argument to show why the dropping of 3 impeachment charges doesn’t warrant due process concerns. And they could be right. But for those in the legal trenches, the underhandedness of the move raises serious alarm bells.

@PhilippineStar Will this sit well with voters and taxpayers? 🤔

[Michael Henry Yusingco @mhyusingco]

Due process can’t be invoked only when it’s convenient or favourable to your cause. Due process must be asserted precisely when there are efforts to thwart it. #realtalk lang.
