I noticed, Sen. @piacayetano often lectures her other co Senators with the way they ask questions in the trial (in a condescending tone) .
I wonder why she never called out Sen. Robin Padilla for asking lengthy non sense questions that delays the proceeding.?
The NHCP has just released a statement condemning the baseless claim by certain dubious scholars that Batanes is part of China. The statement systematically dismantles their assertions and refutes their arguments point by point.
Read and spread the word.

As an archipelagic nation with 7,641 islands to date, defining the territorial extent of the Philippines is not as straightforward as defining boundaries on land.
Under the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the national territory comprises the Philippine archipelago and all territories over which the Philippines has sovereignty or jurisdiction.
The 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗮𝘄 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮 (𝗨𝗡𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦) provides the international legal framework that defines the country's maritime entitlements.
🔴 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 are the waters enclosed by the Philippines' archipelagic baselines, where the State exercises full sovereignty subject to rights recognized under international law.
🟡 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗮 extends up to 12 nautical miles from these baselines. Within this zone, the Philippines exercises sovereignty over the waters, seabed, subsoil, and the airspace above.
🔵 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗭𝗼𝗻𝗲 (𝗘𝗘𝗭) extends up to 200 nautical miles, granting the Philippines sovereign rights to explore, conserve, develop, and manage living and non-living resources found in the waters, seabed, and subsoil.
This includes the vast expanse of the West Philippine Sea on the west and the Philippine (Benham) Rise on the east of Luzon.
🟢 The bounds of the 𝗞𝗮𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 (𝗞𝗜𝗚) in the West Philippine Sea and its several islands, reefs, and cays in the Spratly Islands, were officially delineated through Presidential Decree No. 1596 (1978) and designated as a municipality of Palawan.
While overlapping claims exist in the area, the Philippines continues to administer several features within the KIG in accordance with its domestic laws and its rights under international law.
It is our shared duty to understand, value, and safeguard the seas and territories that define our archipelagic nation. #AtinIto #Philippines
the U.S. is pushing Pax Silica in our country, while Israel is seeking deeper cooperation with the Philippines. meanwhile, China continues to assert its claims over what is rightfully ours.
chat… we are so cooked
Just want to say, even academically, that Batanes argument is incredibly stupid. Even geologically, the Batanes islands are part of a volcanic arc that extend southwards to Luzon, to Mt. Cagua in Cagayan. Batanes and Taiwan are separated by a deep sea channel. Makes no sense.
Sa totoo lang, I don’t remember even THE Miriam Defensor-Santiago insinuate, badger, or insult fellow senator judges for not being lawyers. But this pia cayetano, who can’t even hold a candle to MDS, is so full of herself. What a brat! How shameful! #CONVICTsara#SHUTUPpia

🚨 Sen. Risa Hontiveros asked the Prosecution why the videos and statements of Sara Duterte is impeachable.
Nagalit si Pia-kin Cayetano at sinabi inappropriate daw.
Sabi ni Risa she asked that so she can decide the relevance.
Dun ako sa hindi abugado! 👏
#Piyakin#ConvictSara
Si Risa Hontiveros, walang legal background pero walang kasong Plunder. Siya ang nagkalap ng ebidensya para makulong si Alice Guo.
Si Marcoleta na mayabang at may legal background, may kasong Plunder. Nakakulong dahil sya nagbigay ng ebidensya. 😂
