In the Philippines there is a high probability that the police used data from the Conditional Cash Transfer - aka 4Ps program - to pick who to kill in Duterte's slaughter of the poor https://t.co/mtePNP1Vwr

Don’t know if it was because i complained publicly or because the billing cut off is tomorrow but @ConvergeSupport finally restored our connection.

Thanks to all those that gave advice re: Starlink. Much helpful.

On a lighter note...

Just saw this again in my camera roll. It was from the last game i played just before the pandemic. Anyone ever have a better hand?

Habang nananawagan ang mga Pilipino ng transparency and accountability, heto na naman ang prinsesa setting conditions for something as basic as showing up to explain why she wants P902M of our money.

Hindi pa ba tayo sawa sa mga ganitong feeling entitled na "lider?" 🙄

STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY
REP. LEILA M. DE LIMA
MAMAMAYANG LIBERAL (ML) PARTYLIST
#StandWithMaderPerci
#StandWithProfHeydarian
30 July 2025

I express my firm solidarity with Rep. Perci Cendaña and Prof. Richard Heydarian amid this latest effort to file indirect contempt charges against them for their remarks on the recent Supreme Court decision on the Vice President’s impeachment case.

We’ve seen tactics like this before. Legal processes are being used not to advance justice, but to intimidate critics and deflect attention from serious questions of public accountability. These efforts are concerning, not only because they target individuals with strong democratic convictions, but because they risk chilling legitimate public discourse.

Let’s be clear: the statements of Rep. Perci and Prof. Heydarian fall well within the bounds of free expression. Criticism of judicial decisions, especially those with profound political impact, is part of the democratic process. In moments like these, courts are expected to demonstrate openness to scrutiny, not to react defensively.

I am confident that the Supreme Court will not allow itself to be weaponized by those who wish to score political points. The justices are seasoned, independent-minded professionals who understand the constitutional balance between free expression and respect for judicial authority. This is not the time to allow the Court to be dragged into a political spectacle.

The truth is, what’s being challenged here is not the dignity of the Court, but the discomfort that comes with public accountability. Public commentary is not contempt. It is conscience.

To Rep. Perci and Prof. Richard: stand firm. Speaking out is not a crime. It is a duty—especially when the stakes are this high.

Let us not be distracted. The real issue remains: the public deserves answers, transparency, and accountability from those in power.

“Magsasaka Partylist strongly condemns this brazen and deplorable act,” the party said. “This not only endangers the life and safety of Lejun but also instills fear among those who seek to serve the people through legitimate and democratic means.“
