Senate media beat proving that in the hardest of times it would always be the journalists to show up on the frontlines. Not vloggers, not influencers, not online commentators. Nothing but the highest respect to our hardworking colleagues.
to those people involved in that one video where they prank an elderly gasoline man and let the old man run for how many meters under the scorching heat of the sun, gago kayo.
ang lala ng ugali nyo, yung prank nyo parang di pinag isipan. That's someone's father.

#WhatLiesBeneath
STATEMENT OF MAYOR JOY BELMONTE
I urge Congressman Bong Suntay to apologize for the inappropriate remarks that he made at a recent House committee hearing.
His words directly contradict the spirit of empowerment that we have worked hard to build here in Quezon City. Over the years, we have embraced the difficult work of establishing protections for women, constantly striving to honor their rights by creating safe spaces and opportunities for them.
In this context, it is truly disappointing to witness Congressman Suntay’s casual display of objectification, on Women’s Month no less. But what makes this incident especially troubling is the fact that, as a former member of our City Council, he was part of the body that passed our Gender and Development Code.
Moreover, he was the majority floor leader of the city council when we passed the Bawal Bastos Ordinance, which declares that lewd, malicious, and demeaning remarks and acts have no place in public life. Quezon City instituted this policy in 2016—ahead of the national Safe Spaces Act.
Our policies are a declaration of our city’s values—of what we stand for and what we refuse to tolerate. We expect our elected officials to be the first to live by them.
Thus, it is clear to me: We must not hesitate to push back against any act that undermines the dignity of our women. We must continue to stand for their safety, dignity, and equality—without exception and without compromise.
We call on Congressman Suntay to take full accountability for his remarks, issue a proper apology, and conduct himself with the dignity that his office—and our city—demand. Our people deserve no less.
