Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.
Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.
Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.
Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.
Bilang isang kakampi at bilang tatay, malinaw sa akin: lahat tayo ay may karapatang magmahal at mabuhay nang malaya, pantay, ligtas, at may dignidad.
Sa Kongreso, patuloy nating isinusulong ang mga panukalang magpoprotekta sa karapatan at dignidad ng LGBTQIA+ community:
💚 SOGIESC Equality Bill (HB 00765) - Para labanan ang diskriminasyon at itaguyod ang pantay na pagtrato sa lahat.
🩷 Right to Care Bill (HB 2786) - Para mabigyan ng karapatan ang partners na magdesisyon at mag-alaga sa isa’t isa sa oras ng pangangailangang medikal.
💜 Cagandahan Bill (HB 05474) - Para magkaroon ng malinaw na legal na proseso ang intersex persons sa pagwawasto ng kanilang sex at pangalan sa civil registry.
🧡 Safe Spaces Amendments (HB 00768) - Para palawakin ang proteksyon laban sa gender-based sexual harassment, kabilang ang digital abuse.
LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights.
Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈
“I love my LGBT friends, but...”
No, mahal. If we really love them, we’d fight that they enjoy the same rights as we do. We’d educate ourselves about their struggles. We’d use our straight privilege to dismantle an old system that oppresses them. ✊🏼💜
From my beloved quarter-century mini-me, Ianna, (my sleepy-eyed, nakakagigil baby girl; writer & lover of poetry, music lover & videographer, cat & kitten rescuer, for whom I most fight so that she can be who she is & love whom she loves) & me:
Happy Pride! 💜😊🏳️🌈
THIS IS WHY WE NEED THE TULFOS.
Nobody in the Senate can match the Tulfos when it comes to being aggressive and straight to the point. They don’t waste time dressing up their words just to sound safe. THEY HAVE THAT JOURNALIST BLOOD IN THEM THAT MAKES THE TYRANTS UNCOMFORTABLE.
I never voted for Tito Sotto before, but credit where it’s due. I honestly respect what he did last night. Since his comeback, he has been standing for what is right more often, and what happened last night proved it again.
When the Minority senators walked out and the Senate lost quorum, Tito Sotto immediately pointed it out and moved to adjourn the session. Marcoleta tried to argue and question the rules, but Tito Sen shut it down fast with that line: “Akala ko ba magaling sa rules?”
And the thing is, Sotto was absolutely correct based on Senate procedure. The motion to adjourn takes precedence once there’s no quorum. Cayetano couldn’t do anything. Even Loren Legarda, as presiding officer, had no choice but to concede and adjourn the session.
Tito Sotto stood his ground.
Turns out, the “comedian” understood the Senate rules better than all of them. Maybe tama nga na bumalik ka, Tito Sen. 👏
“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.
Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?
Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”
The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!
Goosebumps!!! Thank you Minority. Araw-araw simula May 11, gusto namin mag walk out sa Senado para sa inyo. Sobra na ang panbabastos at pambabaluktot sa batas ng 13 Hudas Majority. Kaisa niyo kami SOLID BLOC 11! ✊
“They are in a hurry because there are news reports that two of our colleagues here might land in jail this weekend”
Tangina bumabango yung imahe ng Tulfo brothers sa akin dahil sa lecheng majority na ito!!!
AND HIS STAFF AT THE BACK IS SO PROUD???? 😭🔥

The sowing of intrigues has no place in this plenary hall. Fake news has no place in this plenary hall.

Risa Hontiveros: Hindi ako sensitibo sa puna, sanay ako diyan. Pero ang pinakita po na video ay FAKE NEWS. Delivering a privilege speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news enter in the official records as if it were evidence.
