Ibaba ang presyo ng kuryente! Gawing patas at makatarungan ang sinisingil sa consumers!
That’s why we filed House Bills 10676 and 10677, seeking to remove non-technical system loss charges on electricity bills and exempt system loss from VAT.
Time to power fairness. Let's pass HBs 10676 and 10677! 💡��

‘IBA BA ANG STANDARD SA ORDINARYONG TAO SA MATAAS NA OPISYAL?’
Atty Lorna Kapunan says if the VP backtracks, or says she lied or says the threats were a joke, “Can she still be trusted? It is still considered grave threats”
REMINDER:
In 2020, 4 people were arrested after posting online what were considered death threats against then President Duterte.
1. Public school teacher Ronnel Mas of Zambales was charged with incitement to sedition after posting he would give P50 million to anyone who could kill Duterte.
2. Joemarc Ebcay of Ozamiz was charged with sedition after he posted a Facebook comment offering P150 million to anyone who could kill Duterte.
3. Ronald Quiboyen, a construction worker, was arrested for allegedly writing on Facebook that he would give P100 million.
4. Maria Catherine Ceron of Cebu was also arrested for allegedly offering P75 million to kill Duterte.
“Even if ordinary citizens did not have the capacity, did not have a private army or did not hire an assassin, even if they did not have the capability to offer several millions, it was still considered grave threats” @ANCALERTS #ANCHeadstart

There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.
Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.
If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.
THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:
Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.
WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!

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.

WHAT A MESS! Where else can we find a Senate President who boycotts the regular sessions of a chamber which he is supposed to preside, then delivers speeches on Facebook instead of the Senate floor before his peers so we can interpellate him?
Excuse me, Sen. Robin. Huwag nyo nga akong gamitin sa baluktot nyong naratibo. Acquitted na ako sa hinarap kong mga gawa-gawang kaso. Napakalayo ng sitwasyon ko sa pinasakay mong fugitive from justice na si Sen. Bato.
Saka neutralizing drug lords talaga? Sabihin nya yan sa pamilya ng libo-libong biktima ng EJK. Ipaliwanag nya yan sa ICC.
