"We may be on opposite sides."
Respectfully, Senator-Judge Alan Cayetano, could you clarify what you meant on this?
May I respectfully remind you po that you are sitting as a senator-judge, expected to hear the case impartially and not as a member of either side po.

Bato escaped.
Zaldy is at large.
Martin is unscathed.
Sara will not be convicted.
Bongbong doesn’t have the courage.
Joel, Jinggoy and Chiz are all back in power.
Liza isn’t some sort of political mastermind.
No one is going to save us kundi tayo tayo lang din.
Bihira ako humirit ng Latin maxim, pero eto parang bagay sa panahon:
Fatetur facinus qui judicium fugit.
He who escapes judgment confesses his guilt.
Ibig sabihin, kung pumuslit ka nang alas-dos ng madaling araw, hindi siguro dahil inosente ka. ⚖️
"Kasi kung ordinaryong tao po yan, lulusubin po ng mga awtoridad ang bahay niyan para i-serve ang warrant of arrest. At ang sinumang haharang ay obstruction of justice po ang kakaharapin"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHERE'S THE LIE?????????
Pustahan, once we get through these typhoons, susunod naman ang heavy traffic during holiday season, and the. rotten transportation system, tapos poor classroom conditions during summer.
The cycle continues, Filipinos will move on, and no one will be held accountable yet again.
As someone from Mindanao, I can tell you, environment and upbringing shape political choices here more than anything.
My whole family? DDS.
My officemates and friends? DDS. During the last election, most of them supported BBM not because of him, but because of Duterte. Tapos ngayon, they hate BBM na, still because of Duterte.
Kaya nung marinig at mabasa ko mga linyahan ni Shuvee, knowing she's Bisaya, hindi na ako nagulat. I hear those exact same words from my siblings, relatives, neighbors, coworkers, and friends. That's how deep the loyalty to Duterte runs here, parang collective mindset. And trust me, it's not easy to break. 😭 Kung openly anti-Duterte ka, makukuyog ka talaga.
That's why if there's even a sliver of chance that someone like Shuvee could start questioning and slowly shifting, we have to take it. Maybe at first magpanggap lang siya para hindi ma-bash. But sometimes that's how real change begins. Fake it till you make it. Before you know it, what started as pakisama or performative lang can grow into genuine conviction.
At the end of the day, that's our goal naman di ba? To open eyes, to spark change, and to break the cycle. We can't achieve that if we shut the door on people who've been trapped in the DDS bubble all their lives. Every person who changes their perspective is one more step closer to the change we've been fighting for.
So wag natin sayangin. If there's a window, kahit maliit, let's grab it. Push it open. Because change doesn't happen overnight, but it does start somewhere.
