'NAKAKAAWA, EH'
PANOORIN: Nakikisimpatiya raw si Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III sa "18 ex-bodyguards" na nagpakilalang dating tao ni Zaldy Co dahil parang nagagamit daw ang mga ito sa naratibong gustong ipalabas ng gumawa ng joint affidavit.
Ayon kay Sotto, hindi raw siya nabanggit sa isinumiteng affidavit pero nang magkaroon ng "pseudo-hearing" ang Cayetano bloc sa Blue Ribbon Committee noong Biyernes, June 5, 2026, paulit-ulit daw na tinatanong ang "18 ex-bodyguards" patungkol sa kaniya at kay Sen. Ping Lacson.
Pangamba ni Sotto, baka raw sa huli ay ang "18 ex-bodyguards" ang sasalo ng lahat ng "kabulastugan" na ginawa ng nag-utos sa kanila.

WHAT IS HE?
Sen. Ping Lacson questioned Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano's position in a post on X on Sunday, June 7, amid the ongoing leadership dispute in the Senate.
โThe Executive Department, House of Representatives, Integrated Bar of the Philippines, law deans, law professors, former Senate presidents and many others do not recognize Senator Alan Cayetano as the President of the Senate. So, what is he?โ Lacson wrote.
The post comes days after the Integrated Bar of the Philippines declared the June 3 Senate reorganization by a 12-member quorum โlawful and valid,โ citing the 1949 Avelino v. Cuenco ruling.
Former Senate presidents Franklin Drilon and Aquilino Pimentel III have also backed the move that installed Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian as Senate president pro tempore and acting Senate president.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE Philippine College of Physicians AND HEALTH SECRETARY Ted Herbosa
Growing up as the son of Dr. Tony Leachon, my view of the medical profession was shaped entirely by his eyes. For as long as I can remember, I saw my fatherโs immense passion, dedication, and deep-seated pride in the Philippine College of Physicians (PCP). To him, the PCP was not just an organization; it was a sanctuary of integrity, excellence, and the highest standards of the medical community. I was raised to look up to the institution just as he did.
I remember, too, the genuine excitement my father felt during the dark days of the COVID-19 task force, when he looked forward to collaborating with Secretary Ted Herbosa.
When Secretary Herbosa later tapped him to serve as his special adviser at the Department of Health, my father was filled with an even greater joy to serve alongside someone he truly respected.
Between then and now, a great deal has happened, and relationships have grown complexโbut there was a time, vivid in my memory, when my father genuinely looked up to you, Secretary Ted.
It is because of this lifelong respect that the events of the past few days have been so deeply painful to witness.
Internal medical association ethics disputes and disciplinary actions are, by long-standing tradition, handled strictly behind closed doors. This confidentiality exists for a vital reason: to protect the organizationโs own integrity and to shield a physicianโs professional standing from irreparable harm while internal legal remedies are being exhausted.
Therefore, the public airing of a 26-page internal Board of Regents decision is highly unusual, alarming, and profoundly unjust.
By allowing or enabling this decision to be thrust into the mainstream media before my father could fully exhaust his right to appeal, the PCP has violated its own confidentiality protocols. This is no longer a standard regulatory procedure; it has effectively become a trial by publicity. It is difficult not to see this deliberate leak as a coordinated smear campaign designed to dismantle his public credibility and destroy his reputation before he was even given a fair opportunity to legally defend himself.
As a son, it breaks my heart to see a man who has poured his life into public health advocacy be subjected to this kind of public humiliation by the very institutions he loved and served.
Justice cannot breathe in an environment of weaponized leaks. I appeal to the leadership of the PCP: in the interest of absolute fairness, professional decency, and the due process you guarantee to all your members, hold this suspension in abeyance pending a full, impartial review of new manifestations.
Do not let an institution built on healing be used to break one of its own.
Let the truth be settled through fair, quiet, and proper legal channelsโnot through the court of public destruction.
With my utmost respect,
Former Provincial Boardmember, 1st District of Oriental Mindoro & Loving Son,
Mikan Leachon.
PS: This is my first , only and last post regarding this topic.

โZERO CREDIBILITY, SCRIPTED NA NGA, NAGKAKAMALI-MALI PA!โ
PANOORIN: Ito ang maaanghang na pahayag ni Secretary Larry Gadon laban sa umano'y maleta boys.
Ayon kay Gadon, mali-mali at hindi nagtutugma ang mga lugar, panahon, personalidad, at mga detalye ng kanilang mga inimbentong script.
โNO PROBATIVE VALUEโ
Banat pa ni Gadon, malinaw umano ang motibo ni Senator Peter Alan Cayetano sa pag-agaw ng pwesto ng Senate President, ito ay upang ma-acquit si VP Sara Duterte sa impeachment nito. | Cherk Balagtas

โโPag pakikinggan mo si Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano, ang gusto niya ay siya ang maging sentro ng mundo,โ reaksiyon ni National Union of Journalists of the Philippines (NUJP) Secretary General Ronalyn Olea.
Paliwanag ni Olea, โeditorial prerogativeโ ng isang media organization at ng newsroom nito kung alin-aling balita ang dapat na ilagay sa frontpage nito, o itampok sa banner story, tawag sa pinakamalaking balitang nangyari sa bansa nang sinusundang araw.
โKung ang pagtingin sa isang newsroom hindi mahalaga na presidente ka pa rin, may mas mahalagang issue kaysa dโyan sa โyo,โ mensahe ni Olea kay Cayetano.

Results of the nationwide survey, conducted from June 5 to 6, showed that 67 percent of respondents favored Gatchalianโs appointment, while 25 percent opposed it and 8 percent remained undecided.

Hindi bago ang 12 lang na quorum, nangyari na ito dati โ Law Deans, Professors of Juridical Science & Political Theorists
Noong Mayo 5, 2015, 12 na senador lang din ang dumalo sa sesyon. Kinilala ito ni Senate President Franklin Drilon bilang valid na quorum. Hindi ito tinawag na unconstitutional noon, at hindi rin dapat ngayon.
Hindi layunin ng Konstitusyon na pigilan ang kahit sinumang miyembro ng Kamara o Senado na gawin ang kanilang trabaho.
Sa pagdalo ng mga senador sa sesyon, nagpatuloy ang Senado sa pagtupad ng mga tungkulin at responsibilidad nito sa ilalim ng Konstitusyon.
Is this why Senator Loren Legarda is stubbornly clinging to her Senate President Pro Tempore position?
It seems the government is taking her son, Rep. Leandro Leviste, to court over a massive solar project bust, and even seeking an asset freeze for a staggering โฑ3.08 billion in damages.
