Another photo of this inhuman human zoo in New York. The Filipinos were transported thousands of miles just for the fun of the people in neat suits in the background.
I don’t know why the Philippines stands with the country that treated their ancestors as animals.
You know, I'm old enough to remember when trump said that Hillary Clinton shouldn't EVEN be running because she was under investigation.
“She has no right to be running, you know that,” Trump said. “No right.” She wasn't even indicted.
NOW, Hillary will be chilling out with a nice glass of wine, watching low-energy Don Snorleone struggle to stay awake during his criminal trial, which begins as early as next week.
I love that for her.
Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who finds it obscene that Exxon posted their Q3 profits at $19,660,000,000 -- the highest ever in their 152-year existence.
The GOP blamed President Biden for high gas prices while voting AGAINST the Oil & Gas price gouging bill.
Di po martial law ang solusyon sa problema ng inflation kundi maayos na pamamahala na palaging inuuna ang interes ng taumbayan. Dictatorships exist only to perpetuate dictators in power and to amass great wealth at the people's expense.

Statement of Atom Araullo on the Filing of Civil Complaint for Damages Against Lorraine Badoy-Partosa and Jeffrey Celiz
Today, I have filed a civil complaint for damages against former Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy-Partosa and Jeffrey Celis. This is in connection with a series of unsubstantiated accusations and personal attacks the pair have made against me and my family through their programming on SMNI and on various social media platforms.
It is my considered belief that the nature of their remarks goes far beyond the boundaries of fair criticism, and are designed to discredit, intimidate, and foment public animosity towards both me and my family. It also seems to be part of a broader pattern to harass and undermine members of the media whose reporting does not fit their agenda.
I initially chose to ignore their attacks owing to their apparent absurdity. But because I've seen how treacherous, persuasive, and harmful disinformation can be, especially when left unchecked, I have resolved to push back. I am doing this for the safety and well-being of my family, but I also hope it contributes in a modest way to protecting press freedom in general.
It merits emphasis that I am not filing a criminal case against Badoy and Celis at this time. I am against the criminalization of libel and would prefer not to invoke it because it also endangers legitimate journalism. Still, malicious perpetrators of disinformation must be stopped and held accountable. This is a unique challenge of our time, especially for journalists who are duty-bound to uphold the truth.

Pahayag ni Atom Araullo sa Pagsasampa ng Kasong Sibil Laban Kina Lorraine Badoy-Partosa at Jeffrey Celiz
Ngayong araw, naghain ako ng kasong sibil laban kay dating Undersecretary Lorraine Badoy-Partosa at Jeffrey Celis. Kaugnay ito ng walang tigil na paninirang puri at pagkakalat ng kasinungalingan ng dalawa tungkol sa akin at sa aking pamilya sa pamamagitan ng kanilang programa sa SMNI at social media.
Walang basehan ang kanilang mga paratang. Malinaw na layunin nila ang takutin, siraan, at udyukin ang galit ng publiko laban sa akin at sa aking pamilya sa pamamagitan ng paghahasik ng intriga. Sa aking pananaw, bahagi ito ng mas malawak na panggigipit at panunipil sa malayang pamamahayag.
Noong una, pinili kong ipagkibit-balikat ang mga paratang lalo’t walang katuturan ang mga ito. Ngunit dahil delikado ang disinformation, lalo kung hahayaan lang, nagpasya akong manindigan. Ginagawa ko ito para sa kaligtasan ng aking pamilya, ngunit sana’y makaambag din ito kahit papaano sa pagtatanggol ng press freedom as kabuuan.
Nais ko ring linawin na hindi ako magsasampa ng kasong kriminal laban kay Badoy at Celis sa ngayon. Tutol ako sa criminalization ng libel dahil nagagamit din ito upang gipitin ang lehitimong media. Gayunpaman, kailangang pigilan at managot ng mga malisyosong pasimuno ng disinformation. Partikular na hamon ito ng ating panahon, lalo na para sa mga mamamahayag na dapat pumanig sa katotohanan.
