DAD DUTY, UPGRADED?
#Akbayan Party-list Rep. Chel Diokno has filed a bill expanding #paternity leave from seven days to 105 days, arguing that raising a child is a shared responsibility and giving fathers more time to care for their newborns and support their families.

Iginiit ni Vico Sotto na handa niyang iwan ang mayoralty post ng Pasig City kapag natapos ang kanyang termino sa 2028, sa kabila ng kanyang malawak na political clout at influence sa siyudad.
“I think it would be a good thing, pagkatapos ng siyam na taon, take a step back and reassess. That's also why I believe in term limits,” aniya sa panayam sa journalist na si Bernadette Sembrano.
Giit pa ni Sotto, dito rin malalaman kung epektibo ba ang kanyang mga reporma, kung mananatili ang mga ito kahit wala na siya sa puwesto.

In this interview, Sen Bam mentioned that on the day Bato arrived and the whole mess started, “pirma na lang” sana ang kulang for this bill.
Today I noticed he immediately gathered those signatures as soon as they arrived (starting his new seat mate)
Sang-ayon ka ba na dapat nang dagdagan ang sahod ng mga guro?
Inihain natin ang House Bill 7649 para sa ₱15,000 across-the-board salary increase ng public school teachers at non-teaching personnel.
Kailangan ito lalo na ngayong balik-eskwela, kung kailan lumalabas ang mga ulat ng gurong napipilitang mag-abono para lang matugunan ang pangangailangan ng kanilang klase.
Dagdag sahod ang kailangan, hindi dagdag abono sa pagkukumpuni ng paaralan. Like and share para suportahan ang ating panukala.
Noong gabi raw na inaresto si Digong, kasama raw si Leila de Lima sa meeting doon sa Townhouse.

The Supreme Court handed down a one-year suspension to Atty. @jesusfalcis.
His offense? A 2018 tweet where he fiercely defended his brother by using vulgar language (“Paky* kayo mga g*ga”!).
The High Court ruled it as simple misconduct and declared that the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) strictly mandates lawyers to maintain dignified language, even on personal social media accounts.
Okay, if the baseline for "dignity of the profession" is THAT strict, how on earth is Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also a lawyer, still holding onto her law license?
If we are talking about actual violations, her verbatim, public receipts are entirely unhinged.
Let us enumerate some:
1. Sara Duterte didn't just casually throw bad words around.
In her streamed press briefings, she completely abandoned any shred of professional decorum and screamed on live broadcast:
“P*tang ina mo BBM! P*tang ina mo Liza! P*tang ina mo Martin! P*tang ina ninyong lahat!”
“Binastos pa nila sa pagsisinungaling nila na kesyo taksil, kesyo corrupt, abusado. P*tang ina ninyo, sino ang corrupt?”
2. Let's NEVER forget when she was a city mayor and an active member of the bar.
Instead of upholding the law, she literally used a court sheriff as a human punching bag!
She grabbed him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head on camera just for executing a lawful court order.
Kagalang-galang yarn?
3. She openly admitted on live television to hiring an assassin to target the country's top leaders if a supposed plot against her succeeded:
“I’ve talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, don’t stop until you k*ll BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke."
4. She casually bragged during a press conference about threatening to desecrate a former president's remains:
“Isang beses, sinabihan ko talaga si Sen. Imee. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hindi kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko 'yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea!”
5. She publicly detailed her thoughts of extreme physical violence against the sitting president:
“I wanted to remove his head. I realized the relationship was already toxic... [I] just imagine myself cutting his head."
An ordinary attorney gets a one-year suspension for typing profanities on Twitter to protect his sibling.
Meanwhile, a high-profile lawyer and the sitting Vice President can publicly brag about hitmen, look at a camera to detail cutting off the President's head, threaten to dig up a former president’s corpse, physically assault a court sheriff, and scream “p*tang ina ninyong lahat" on live broadcast with zero professional consequences!
Hello, IBP? Ano na?
The CPRA allows you to initiate disbarment proceedings motu proprio when a lawyer's misconduct is THIS flagrant and very public!
The rules apparently apply to everyone except her.
Time to strip her of that license!

❌ Sara Duterte: “Ang pinaka mabisa na paghahanda panlaban sa lindol na magawa natin ay yung paghahanda natin.”
Ha?!
The most effective preparation is to prepare??
Hahaha from Queen of Confidential Funds to Redundancy Queen. 😂

12 SENATORS ENOUGH TO CREATE QUORUM - SC RULING
The new Senate majority bloc on Wednesday cited the Supreme Court’s ruling on Avelino v. Cuenco as their legal basis for the leadership revamp in the chamber.
The case involves 12 senators who held a quorum after then Senate President Jose Avelino and nine of his allies walked out of the session and replaced him with Sen. Mariano Jesus Cuenco.

According kay Sen. Win, P25M ang daily operating cost ng Senate. Sa dalawang araw na pagmamaktol ni Cayetano at ng majority bloc, P50M ng public funds ang nasayang at 48 hrs ang nauwi sa wala na para sana sa paggawa ng mga batas.
Imagine, kaya ni Cayetano na babuyin ang institusyon at i-hostage ang trabaho ng Senado para lang protektahan ang mandarambong na si Jinggoy at ang wanted na si Bato??? Ginagawa niyo lahat 'to para sa mga kawatan???
Hindi na bago ang banggaan sa pulitika ng mga Senador, pero first time nangyari na hinostage ng Senate President ang buong Senado para protektahan ang kawatan at wanted sa batas.
Bukambibig mo ang 'independent' na Senado pero alam ng lahat na mga Duterte ang diyos mo ackla ka.

SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
