Love, care, and serve with purpose. When in doubt, choose what makes for a better story.

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.

DOUBLEGEM DELETES STATEMENT ON DEFENSOR’S BLUE RIBBON EVENT

UPDATE: The earlier statement of Doublegem EDSA Gardens Events Place announcing the cancellation of former Rep. Mike Defensor’s blue ribbon event is no longer accessible on Facebook.

The venue management previously said that the event would no longer proceed as planned. It likewise distanced itself from the organizers.

YES! MAY SESSION

[RJ @rJustin_LukeAD]

Where are the 2 Villars? I noticed that they were also not seated in the plenary hall when the minority walked out. Just out of curiosity.

Bato Dela Rosa - absent for reasons we all know

23.

11 minority : 13 majority.

10 minority walkout + 2 Villars not present.

23-12=11

All in good time and indeed it is. May this work.

Bato completely shattered Alan Peter Cayetano’s independent rebrand by blabbing the entire secret coup script on camera.

By admitting he resurfaced exclusively to act as APC’s crucial "13th vote," he exposed that the leadership shakeup was never about integrity.

It was a desperate, calculated move to hijack the Senate, stall the incoming impeachment court, and shield Sara Duterte from accountability.

APC tried to play statesman, but Bato exposed him as a scheming puppet.

Praying for all the journalists risking their lives tonight just so the public can see the truth of what’s happening in the Senate.

There is no substitute for a free press. No alternative to people willing to stand in the middle of chaos so the country can witness the truth in real time.

[RJ @rJustin_LukeAD]

It feels like someone is orchestrating this chaos on purpose.

Nevertheless, I wish that everyone in the Senate building is safe.

As I said, I serve at the pleasure of my colleagues. But rest assured, Senate President or not, my allegiance is to the Constitution and my loyalty is to the Filipino people. I lift everything to my creator. God bless the Philippines.

[RJ @rJustin_LukeAD]

That’s one weak majority.

BINALIKTAD ANG UTOS NI DUTERTE

Ipinawalang-bisa ng Korte Suprema ang kautusan ni dating pangulong Rodrigo Duterte noong Enero 2018 na nagtatanggal sa serbisyo kay dating Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur Carandang.

Sinibak sa pwesto noon si Carandang matapos niyang ibunyag ang umano’y mga record ng Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) kaugnay ng sinasabing hindi maipaliwanag na yaman ni Duterte.

Sa unanimous ruling ng Third Division ng Korte Suprema, iginiit nito na walang administrative o disciplinary authority ang Pangulo sa isang Deputy Ombudsman.
