Today is World Bicycle Day

Since 2020

I bike to work
I bike and ride the trains
I bike to run errands
I bike on my way to protests

Proud folding biker, braving Manila's hellish roads, resisting road rage, and together with fellow bikers in asserting a safe space for all

Zubiri was d only member of Spice Boys who became Senator. Daig sila ng pro-Erap 'bright boys' Alan Cayetano, Chiz Escudero

[Mong Palatino @mongster]

Unfortunately, lumala pa

[Mong Palatino @mongster]

The Alan Cayetano we admired

Was part of the Opposition
Who condemned the corruption
In the Gloria Arroyo government
His last great act was his stinging rebuke
Of Bongbong Marcos during the VP race debate

May he muster the courage to repent
& find his way back to the people

[Mong Palatino @mongster]

Resign forthwith

Sumana sa pagkilos sa Senado, 2pm, Hunyo 1

Tutulan at labanan ang tangkang baguhin ang Senate rules pabor kay Bato at mga kurakot na Senador.

Senado, pugad at protektor ng mga korap at berdugo!

Yung intelligence sharing pact ng Pinas at Japan, tatawagin bang greater East Asia intelligence co-prosperity sphere?

Sabi ko sa AI alisin ang mga puno sa San Miguel main building. Maganda. Maaliwalas. Tiyak uunlad tayo. Lagyan din nila ng Skyway ramp

[Mong Palatino @mongster]

I asked AI to imagine UP Diliman without its big trees. Ang ganda pala. Naging mas visible ang mga building. Sabi nga ng DENR, para sa pag-unlad kailangan alisin ang mga puno. Sana lagyan ito ng Skyway para lalo tayong umunlad

"Frenchie's cases were meant to intimidate her, and hide the true situation and poverty in Eastern Visayas. But because of her imprisonment, it allows more people to see how fierce the repression is in our province and in other places in the Philippines."

- Lala Cumpio, mother of jailed Philippine journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio, said in a speech to the @fccjapan Thursday where her daughter was recognized with a Honorable Mention at the Freedom of the Press Award ceremony
