Wag tayo makinig sa sabi sabi lang
Di tayo bulag sa katotohanan
Sila sila rin ang nakikinabang
Sa ninakaw nilang —— PERA NG BAYAN
Wag tayong makinig sa kuwentong kutsero
Na pinapalabas ng mga usisero
Matagal na pala ang ganitong
Proseso
Mag ingay na tayo
Mag ingay na tayo po
Sabi nila mahirap daw tayo
Sabi nila nauubos na ang pondo
Yun pala — ang pinagkakaabalahan
Ng mga makapangyarihan
Ay tayo ay lokohin
Linlalingin abusuhin
At paulit ulit nang Nanakawan
Pilipinas gising na
Pilipinas gising na
Pilipinas gising na
Pilipinas Laban na!
Hear me out. Risa hontiveros as senate blue ribbon committee chair. Courageous, competent, incorruptible. And has a hardworking and sharp team to boot.
Mga DDS binabaliktad storya. Hello. Nakalimutan na ba natin ang Pharmally? P11-B worth of anti-COVID supplies. Buhay ang pinaglaruan. Tapos yung P6.5B na shabu na nakalusot sa Customs. Walang nasibak. Na promote pa nga. Plus yung mga scams sa Philhealth.
This is going around? Anyone knows Senator Marcoleta personally? Paki lang daw. I know Mark Villar myself and maybe I should send this to him as well but the letter was to Senator Marcoleta. Some people forward this message. Why don’t we post it on our wall/page and see how fast this gets to them. Let’s allow each person their time to explain what happened to these projects.
*🚩 This was sent by Ping de Jesus, DPWH Secretary of President Cory Aquino.*
*■ An Open Letter to Blue Ribbon Committee Chairman Rodante Marcoleta: The Urgent Need to Investigate Senator Mark Villar*
Dear Senator Marcoleta,
I write to you as someone who has been closely watching the mounting evidence of corruption in our nation's flood control projects—projects that have cost Filipino taxpayers hundreds of billions of pesos while leaving communities more vulnerable to flooding than ever before.
As you lead the Blue Ribbon Committee's investigation into these anomalous infrastructure projects, I urge you to confront a glaring conflict of interest that undermines the very integrity of these proceedings: Senator Mark Villar sits as both investigator and potential subject of investigation.
*■ The Inherent Conflict of Interest*
Senator Mark Villar served as Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) from 2016 to 2021, overseeing the very flood control projects now under scrutiny.
During his tenure, controversial budget "insertions" totaling P75 billion were discovered in the DPWH budget—insertions that Secretary Villar himself admitted he had no knowledge of when they appeared in the National Expenditure Program.
This lack of oversight alone raises serious questions about his leadership of the agency during a period when corruption allegedly flourished.
Now, as a member of your Blue Ribbon Committee, Senator Villar finds himself in the extraordinary position of investigating the very department he once led.
This is not merely inappropriate—it is a fundamental violation of basic principles of accountability and justice.
How can we expect an impartial investigation when one of the key figures who should be answering questions is instead asking them?
*■ The Pattern of Corruption Under Villar's Watch*
The evidence of systemic corruption during Senator Villar's tenure as DPWH Secretary is overwhelming:
*▪︎ Ghost Projects and Missing Funds:*
Recent revelations have exposed that billions allocated for flood control projects have vanished, with many projects existing only on paper.
These "ghost projects" were approved and funded during the period when Villar headed the DPWH.
*▪︎ Budget Insertions:*
The controversial P75 billion in budget insertions that Senator Panfilo Lacson exposed in 2019 occurred under Villar's watch.
When questioned about these insertions, Villar claimed ignorance—a defense that either points to gross negligence or deliberate deception.
*▪︎ Contractor Syndicates:*
Current investigations reveal that a small group of contractors received the majority of flood control projects, suggesting a systematic scheme that would have required high-level approval.
This concentration of contracts occurred during Villar's administration of the DPWH.
*▪︎ Geotagging Fraud:*
While Villar often boasted about implementing geotagging systems for transparency, recent evidence shows contractors submitted fake geotagged photos to secure government funding.
The very system Villar championed was compromised, raising questions about his oversight capabilities or complicity.
*■ The Public Deserves Accountability, Not Theater*
Chairman Marcoleta, the Filipino people are watching.
They see their communities flooded while billions disappear into the pockets of corrupt officials and contractors.
They witness former DPWH Secretary Villar calling for "accountability" from others while avoiding scrutiny himself.
Senator Villar should be recusing himself from these proceedings immediately.
Because of my consistent commentaries against Chiz Escudero, may tweety bird from the House of Representatives na bumulong satin about the following FACTS:
1. Chiz Escudero visited the House of Representatives on November 30, Bonifacio Day - a holiday.
2. There was no work for majority of the staff or employees of the House of Representatives on Nov. 30.
3. There was also no bicameral conference committee (bicam) meeting on Nov. 30 inside the House.
4. There was also NO Senate staff or employees in the House on Nov. 30.
5. Chiz Escudero went to the Office of Congressman Zaldy Co, who was then the Chair of the Committee on Appropriations.
Zaldy Co was not in the office so Chiz Escudero coordinated with the office staff to ensure his budget insertions remain intact.
CONCLUSION:
1. Sinungaling si Chiz Escudero
2. He really wanted to ensure his budget insertions remained intact.
3. The budget insertions are pork barrel for Chiz Escudero (his home province Sorsogon getting 9 Billion pesos based on documents) and his allies.
Basta keso, madami talagang butas!
Logic and palusot, butas. Ano pa mga butas kay Chiz Whiz?
Ang taumbayan naman, butas na ang bulsa!

IF YOU WANT 20% tax on bank savings, Ralph "Taxman" Recto, do it to the billionaires and multi-millionaires not our average Filipino working class. Kakapiranggot na nga lang ang pinagpawisang ipon na nakaltasan na ng buwis, bubuwisan mo pa ulit? Mambubwisit ka talaga, bwusit!!!
Ralph Recto pasakit sa taumbayan at sa mga mahihirap.
1. Recto initiated and moved to transfer the people’s money (PhilHealth Fund) to BTr of which SC issued a TRO.
2. Republic Act. 12214 o CMEPA - where your taxed money you worked hard for earns interests in the bank but our not-so-greedy government takes another 20% interest tax of your already TAXED MONEY.
Hindi lang ito pasakit sa tao pati na rin sa mga Bangko marami ang aaray at ma dediscourage to save on the banks for this reason.
Imagine this, Ralph Recto is Finance Secretary.
Si Vilma Santos-Recto ay Governor.
Yong isang anak na si Ryan Recto ay Congressman sa 6th district ng Batangas.
Buti nalang natalo si Luis Manzano sa pagka bise gobernador.
The point is, while these families enjoy the power, public funds, and our resources — the Filipino masses remain poor and neglected by the government who pays for their salaries.
The Philippines cost of living is not a joke yet we still are behind our neighboring countries in Southeast Asia.
Our transportation system is still in a chaotic system. Our healthcare and Education system still lacks its support and development.
Our teachers and nurses are still overworked yet underpaid.
Our labor laws and benefits including our basic salary seems like we’re in the early 2000’s.
Wrong!
Una, ang audit opinion ay hindi audit rating. Ito po ang end product ng isang financial audit.
Ang pangunahing layunin ng financial audit ay magbigay ng assurance sa stakeholders tulad ng investors, creditors, at regulators na ang financial information na ipinapakita ng isang organisasyon ay maaasahan at mapagkakatiwalaan.
Tama ba ang suma ng nireport mong mga nagastos? Pag-aari ba talaga ng ahensya ang mga assets na nasa balance sheet? Tama ba ang valuation? Hindi ba overstated ang receivables? Totoo bang may pinagkakautangan? Ilan lang ito sa mga tinutugon ng ganitong klase ng audit.
Hindi po ito tungkol sa paggamit ng pondo. Hindi ibig sabihin na may clean o unmodified opinion ay maayos at legal ang paggasta. Pakiulit ng isang milyong beses!
Para sa mga trolls, paalala lang: binabayaran po ng taumbayan, kasali kayo at ako, ang spokesperson, ang mga empleyado ng pamahalaan, at ang lahat ng public officials. Kaya karapatan ng mamamayan ang humingi ng malinaw at tamang paliwanag.
Kung tatanungin ninyo kung bakit ako nagsasalita gayong talunan naman, ito ang sagot: Tungkulin ko po bilang isang CPA at dating lingkod-bayan na pangalagaan ang tiwala ng publiko.
Usapang tiwala…
Mahalaga po ang tiwala ng investors sa mga kumpanyang may interes sila. Karapatan ng investors kahit hindi sila ang owner na humingi ng financial statements. At ang financial statements ay salamin ng financial position at results of operations. Kaya nararapat lamang na ma-audit ito para malaman kung reliable at trustworthy ba ang impormasyon.
Ngayon, dahil public office yan, tayong lahat ay may pakialam.
Hindi lang OVP ang aking pinuna tungkol dito. Puwede ninyo i-fact-check.
At siguro, mainam na unmodified opinion na lang talaga ang gamitin sa Pilipinas kasi maraming nabubudol sa salitang “clean.” 🤣
Ilang terms na ba si Imee Marcos as senator that she still needed "guidance" of Joel Villanueva to raise a point of order? Ito ang totoong mukha ni Villanueva, agitator! Hindi xa yng pa innocent-looking and kunwari nalilito kapag nasa rostrum.
