Thanks to our friend Ken Abante for flagging at a Senate hearing a struggle we journalists face: SEC docs aren’t free.

We spent P30K on Zaldy Co files last year via SEC Express. ESearch is cheaper at P375/doc, but costs still pile up.

If we want transparency, why the paywall?

BATO THREATENS TO SLAP CENDAÑA OVER SARA IMPEACHMENT REMARK

Sen. Bato Dela Rosa threatened to slap Akbayan Party-list Rep. Perci Cendaña after the latter criticized Vice President Sara Duterte for comparing losing a partner to being impeached.

"'Yang mukha mo, sinapak ng 'di natin alam' kaya ngiwi. Lumapit ka nga dito kasi sasapakin kita sa kabilang mukha mo para balanse," Dela Rosa commented in Bisaya on https://t.co/6wuasi4bUw's Facebook post about Cendaña's reaction to Duterte's remarks.

Cendaña had earlier dismissed Duterte's statement, emphasizing that impeachment is about public accountability, not personal relationships.

"Gusto kong sabihin kay VP Sara, 'Teh, hindi ito usapin ng jowaan. Usapin ito ng public accountability at pananagutan,'" said Cendaña, who endorsed the first impeachment complaint against Duterte, on Friday, February 7.

Duterte made the controversial remark during a press conference earlier that day when asked about her message for Valentine's Day.

"Alam niyo, mas masakit pa ang maiwanan ng boyfriend o girlfriend kesa ma-impeach ka ng House of Representatives," she said.

INGAT, NINONG RY AND MALABONIANS!

Popular chef and content creator Ninong Ry shares photos of his flooded home in Malabon City on Tuesday, July 23. Extensive flooding affected parts of Malabon and Navotas due to high tide exacerbated by a broken key floodgate and rain caused by the enhanced southwest monsoon.

The MMDA targets to repair the Navotas-Malabon floodgate, which was broken by a barge that forced its way through in June, by August 17. #HabagatPH #FloodPH
