The personal accounts and stories of rape, physical maltreatment and other abuses emanated from the OFWs in Kuwait cannot be suppressed and dismissed as outliers, or deviation from Kuwait’s treatment towards the OFWs.

[Rodel M. Batocabe @RMBatocabe]

The least they could do is apologize for their people’s barbaric actions towards our people instead of focusing on what our President is doing to ensure the safety and welfare of Filipinos in Kuwait.

[Rodel M. Batocabe @RMBatocabe]

Why would you expect our president to be apologetic and remorseful to Kuwait when they do not even recognize the problem as a serious issue?

[Rodel M. Batocabe @RMBatocabe]

You cannot expect our President, the head of the state, the Father of our nation to be constricted with diplomatic jargons while his children are being raped, abused, and treated like a livestock by their employers as if they are second-class citizens.

If the Kuwait’s Foreign Minister condemned President Rodrigo Duterte and his policy action to halt the OFW Deployment to their country, I condemn his lack of empathy and responsiveness to the situation of our Filipino migrant workers seventy times seven.

Second, that the TRO she issued was allegedly the same recommendation of J. De Castro, which the latter denied. Such propensity to misrepresent by the chief magistrate is a matter that the Committee on Justice should seriously look into. (2/2)

For me, the mortal sin of the CJ Sereno is not that she committed procedural lapses or errors in judgement, but her gross misrepresentation/false attribution of certain acts. First, she did it on the matter of the creation of the Regional Court Admin Office. (1/2)

We are still proud of you, Rachel Peters! Your determination and resolve to represent the Philippines in the Miss Universe pageant is an admirable effort, which is evident in the resulting stellar support of Filipino fans who rallied behind your back. Iba talaga ang mga Bicolana!

I pray for the immediate recovery of Angeline Fernando, as I also commend the efforts of the medical intern, Charlie Jandic, who provided immediate medical attention to Angeline.

The recent debacles in the MRT 3 Line depict the drastic need to improve the transportation system in our country. On our part in the Congress, we will ensure that proper legislative measures will be in place to guarantee the safety andwelfare of the riding public.

[Rodel M. Batocabe @RMBatocabe]

A great job as well to our government for building more linkages that will benefit the Filipinos and the generations to come. 2/2

The departure of the last dignitaries who participated in the summit concludes the successful hosting of the ASEAN’s 50th Anniversary and 31st Summit by the Philippines. I applaud the organizers for a job well done in demonstrating the genuine spirit of Filipino hospitality. 1/2

[Rodel M. Batocabe @RMBatocabe]

We welcome all the ASEAN Heads, and Leaders of the world in the Philippines as we celebrate the 31st ASEAN Summit. May this affair lead to stronger ties among the nations that will ultimately lead to inclusive economic growth.

Rep. Batocabe, kinukuwestiyon ang mga opisyal ng BOC sa prosesong ginagawa nila kung makalusot sa bansa ang ilegal na droga

[DZMM TeleRadyo @DZMMTeleRadyo]

Batocabe: I want to point out the inherent defects in Customs' processes. Hindi niyo talaga nakukuha ang tunay na may-ari, 'yong big time.

[Bea Cupin @beacupin]

Batocabe to Grab, Uber: You are too important to just be delegated to a regulatory authority.
