moonlight, memory, and meaning • 🌑🌓🌕🌗 • remember what matters.

I am the moon,
Ever-changing, ever-returning.
I reflect what light reaches me.
And in the ebb of my brightness,
I learn that fullness is never lost,
Only transformed.

Taking a break of a week.
See you when the Moon shines again.

kapag walang managot, sana hindi makabawi ang ateneo sa reputasyon, malugmok kayo for all i care, if you’re willing to sacrifice your good academic reputation for your basketball program, might as well suffer the consequences.

Ateneo de Manila is the school of presidents, senators, oligarchs, and Cabinet secretaries. It is the finishing school of Philippine power.

Two poor boys died under their watch. One from Agusan del Sur. One from Nigeria.

Not exactly the Ateneo demographic, are they?

They were recruited for their height and their game. They were useful to the institution.

And when they died during a school-organized activity, the institution responded with four boilerplate paragraphs and a request for "privacy."

So many people tagging me sa FB posts nila, ragebaiting me to engage. Good luck! Haha! Magugutom kayo sa atensyon. You won’t earn from me.

And I think that’s what we should all do. Wag natin sila pansinin. Sila sila mag-usap dahil sila sila rin naman nagkakaintindihan 😜

Pasensya na’t medyo mahaba ang video, pero importante ito.

Bakit nga ba PEKE ang “Anti-Political Dynasty” Bill na pinasa ng Kogreso nitong linggo? At higit sa lahat, ano ang pwede pa nating gawin para magkaroon ng batas na tunay na magwawakas sa mga dinastiya?

Panoorin ito at mag-comment kung ano ang tingin niyo dito!

Nagpapasalamat tayo sa ating mga kasamahan sa Senado sa muling pagtitiwala bilang Chairperson ng Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform.

Maraming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan, at nanganganib ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa Super El Niño.

Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.

Patuloy ang ating laban para sa ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda, at para sa mas abot-kayang pagkain para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. 🇵🇭

[Chel Diokno @ChelDiokno]

Bakit tayo nag-NO sa Anti-Political Dynasty Bill? Dahil ang totoo, ito ay isang Pro-Dynasty Bill.

Under this measure, one clan can hold positions across multiple levels of government. Therefore, concentration of power still remains in the hands of a few families. Kung sila ang mga nakaupo sa taas, at sila rin ang mga nakaupo sa baba,
pwede pa ring magkampihan, magtulungan, at mag-protektahan.

Pwede pa ring magbaba ng kontrata at proyekto ang isang Senador at isang Congressman para sa kapatid nilang Governor. Pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Governor ang kapitolyo para harangin at ipitin ang kalaban ng mga anak niyang tumatakbong Mayor sa magkatabing siyudad. At pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Pangulo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno para pagtakpan ang mga anomalya ng pinsan niyang Kongresista.

Hindi rin sakop ng panukala ang party-list. Kaya maaari pa ring maging District Representative si mister, habang si misis naman ay nakaupo sa tabi niya bilang Party-list Representative.

Ang tanong: Nasaan ang pagbabago? Hindi nito winawakasan ang paghahari ng mga dinastiya, kundi ginawa pa itong legal at bahagi ng sistema.

[Lynda Jumilla-Abalos @lyndajumilla]

The funny thing is IF this hearing is eventually judged to be illegitimate, these so-called “resource persons” spewing defamatory statements can be sued. None of the immunity accorded congressional proceedings.

So yes, hayaan niyo na lang silang maghearing-hearingan. 😄

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

Loren Legarda is lying through her teeth and gaslighting everyone.

The New Majority-12 did NOT elect a Senate President.

They declared all positions vacant with a quorum of 12 legally backed up by the Senate Rules, the Constitution, SC jurisprudence, and Senate practice.

Why should Legarda know this?

It’s because in May 2015 when three (3) of their fellow Senators were arrested for plunder and she was abroad on an official trip, they used a quorum of 12 out of 17 available Senators to conduct business.

Guess who was one of the Senators in 2015?

Yep, Loren Legarda. Along with Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano. Resibo below. 👇

And not one of them objected or claimed the session was unconstitutional. Not one of them filed a case before the Supreme Court.

You are now in estoppel, Senator Loren.

So no, we won’t be gaslighted. 👊

SENATE BACK TO WORK FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE

We express our deep appreciation and commend the courageous decision of Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero to take the floor today and confront the issues facing the institution. His action sent a clear message: that his commitment to the country, to the Senate, and to the Constitution would prevail above all else.

His presence enabled the Senate to proceed with the discussion of matters that are too important to be left unresolved and too consequential to be set aside.

On the issue of quorum, this is not an uncharted matter. The Supreme Court, in Avelino v. Cuenco, recognized the principle that a quorum of 12 is determined based on the number of members who are legally able to discharge the functions of the Senate.

There is likewise an institutional precedent. In 2015, the Senate recognized a quorum of 12 senators who were within its jurisdiction. The Senate continued to perform its constitutional duties because the work of government could not be placed on hold.

At a time when the nation faces pressing challenges, the Filipino people expect their Senate to work, deliberate, and fulfill its constitutional mandate. The institution cannot remain stalled by disagreements or uncertainty. Our duty is clear: to legislate, provide oversight, and serve the public interest.

The Filipino people deserve a Senate that shows up, does its job, and places public service above politics.

It is time for the Senate to move forward and get back to work for the Filipino people.

[Jerry B. Grácio @JerryGracio]

O, hindi porke't umatend si Chiz kaya nagkaroon ng quorum ang Senate, ligtas na siya sa flood control scam ha. Kung may warrant, ikulong din 'yan. Ganun dapat.
