“Maybe for someone like Iga who has won so many slams … or maybe someone like Serena or Venus this achievement may seem small, but for someone who grew up in the Philippines. … for her this is everything.”

As someone who has spent three decades advocating for children, I find it deeply troubling that his first instinct is to make younger children criminally liable rather than address the failures that allowed this tragedy to happen in the first place.
Three children are dead.
The question is not why a 10-year-old should be punished.
The question is why minors have access to firearms.
The question is why violence continues to find its way into our schools.
The question is why our education, mental health, social welfare, and law enforcement systems repeatedly fail children before a crime is ever committed.
Real leadership requires more than reacting to headlines.
It requires understanding the problem.
Lowering the age of criminal responsibility may generate applause. It may generate media attention. But there is little evidence that it addresses the root causes of youth violence.
Children who commit serious crimes must be held accountable. But accountability should not become a substitute for prevention.
A senator’s responsibility is not merely to propose the harshest response. It is to propose the most effective one.
I have worked with vulnerable children for most of my adult life. Many have been abused, neglected, abandoned, exploited, or exposed to violence long before they ever entered conflict with the law.
It is easy to appear tough on children.
It is much harder to confront the adult failures that create these tragedies.
Before Senator Padilla asks Congress to treat younger children as criminals, perhaps he should explain why government has failed to protect them as children in the first place.
Senator Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan said that the suspects in the fatal school shooting in Tacloban cannot simply be released even if they are minors.

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.

The fact that there is no remorse, no clue as to why what he said was offensive and inappropriate, and even commented in an interview that "she should take my remark as a compliment" is what makes this disgusting comment even more disgusting.
I condemn today’s military escalation in the Middle East. The use of force by the United States & Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace & security.
All Member States must respect their obligations under international law, including the Charter of the @UN. The Charter clearly prohibits “the threat of the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”
I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities & de-escalation. Failing to do so risks a wider regional conflict with grave consequences for civilians & regional stability. I strongly encourage all parties to return immediately to the negotiating table.
I reiterate that there is no viable alternative to the peaceful settlement of international disputes, in full accordance with international law, including the UN Charter. The Charter provides the foundation for the maintenance of international peace and security.
Praying for every innocent life caught in the crossfire of this heartbreaking war in the Middle East. May humanity rise louder than hate, and may peace come sooner than we think. 🤍
My jetlag and not being a morning person is making me impatient @flyPAL !!!! 30mins inside the plane waiting for takeoff when we boarded early! Haaayssss!! 😞
GUMAGANA ANG BATAS ✅
Ayon mismo sa Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC), bumaba ang bilang ng children in conflict with the law — mula mahigit 25,000 kaso noong 2017 tungo sa 4,383 noong 2024.
At malinaw ang dahilan: gumagana ang Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.
Malaking tulong ang Bahay Pag-asa at iba pang intervention programs na naglalayo sa mga bata sa kulungan at nagbabalik sa kanila sa tamang landas. Dahil ang hustisya ay hindi lang pagpaparusa, kundi pagpapanumbalik ng pag-asa.
Tatlong malalakas na lindol ang tumama sa Cebu, La Union at Davao Oriental nitong nakaraang mga linggo.
Bagaman magkakasunod, nilinaw ng Phivolcs na hindi magkakaugnay ang mga naturang pagyanig.
