BRINGING THE PROMISE OF HEALTH CARE HOME
The promise of Universal Health Care (UHC) for every Filipino has been written into law, budgeted for, and debated in hearing rooms for years. Yet implementation gaps have kept it from touching every corner of the Philippines.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

MARAMING CONDO, MAHAL ANG BAHAY
Habang patuloy ang urban revitalization sa Metro Manila, lumabas sa pag-aaral ng Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) na lumalawak din ang "housing gap" ng mga Pilipino mula sa magkakaibang social brackets. Kasabay kasi ng pagtatayo ng mga high-rise housing units gaya ng condominium at apartment, tumataas din ang presyo ng lupa. Maraming low-income families tuloy ang napipilitang umalis sa Metro Manila para maghanap ng mas murang pabahay.

Ako po ay natutuwa para sa mga libu-libong pamilya ng mga biktima ng EJKs. Isang malaking hakbang na naman ito para sa pagkamit ng matagal na nating minimithi na hustisya. Ang susunod naman na aantabayan natin ay ang pagsisimula ng trial ni duterte.
The government has lost its “moral ascendancy” to tackle revenue loss because it has yet to resolve longstanding corruption issues, according to Mon Abrea, chief tax advisor of Asian Consulting Group.
Abrea tells One News’ “Money Talks” that the current rollout of fuel subsidies may still be susceptible to corruption, given how last year’s flood control scandal has remained unresolved.
The Department of Finance said the country lost an average of P113.5 billion annually from 2023 to 2025 due to the flood control mess. | via Money Talks

🚨DDS Mike Defensor: “First time I’ve seen such corruption in the country. Organisado. Yung leader po mismo ang Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas.”
Umm, Gloria Arroyo is waving? 👀
Duterte’s Pharmally, Tokhang quotas, and flood control?! 👊
Hindi kami pinanganak kahapon! 😂
Idk abt you guys but the Philippines moved on quickly from the DPWH flood control scandal and every other corruption scandal before that. And somehow, I feel like media organizations could have done more to keep the conversation happening.
There are some days when you are reminded you are part of a chain that can either hold people down, or pull others out of the mud. Today I am reminded the chain exists for the latter. Sacrifices are not in vain.
‘THESE WERE NOT RANDOM CRIMES'
Nanindigan si International Criminal Court (ICC) Deputy Prosecutor Mame Mandiaye Niang na bahagi ng malawakang at sistematikong pag-atake ang umano’y 78 kaso ng murder at attempted murder sa ilalim ng pamamahala ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
“Overall, Duterte's so-called war on drugs resulted in the killings of thousands of civilians … and many of these victims were children,” giit ni Niang.

@luckychan On the other hand, we also have leaders who are too jaded and prejudiced with reality that any hint of hope or spark of a dream is extinguished by their embrace of survival.
Corruption develops from the bottom up rather than from the top down. For individuals in positions of power to act corruptly, they must first feel confident that those beneath them will neither challenge nor restrain their behavior. 1/ #3E
Some thoughts on my way home…
Our airports have been mismanaged seeing how much has improved in 15 months.
Firecrackers are unregulated grenades in the hands of children.
New asphalt on EDSA is so fine, if only NLEX can have it too.
Chiz Escudero’s SOCE was prepared by George Garcia, his lawyer then.
George Garcia is the chair of the COMELEC.
His wife Mavic currently works as the Deputy Secretary for Legislation of the Senate under Chiz.
The COMELEC finds no wrongdoing by Chiz.
Lemme act surprised 🖕
