moment of appreciation sa isa sa pinakamatapang na lingkod-bayan ng ating henerasyon, @manayleila! ✊🏽
again, she bravely returns to the Chamber that once turned its back on her and shamed her with outright lies when all she wanted was to protect the Filipino people from EJKs and uphold justice even at the expense of her own freedom and position.
bilang nanonood ulit ng 2016-17 Senate livestreams para magkalkal ng #WinRi content, nabalikan ko kung anong pangwawalang-hiya ang dinanas niya sa Senado. pwede sanang nanahimik na lang siya pagtapos niyang makalaya at hayaan nang magkaleche-leche ang bayang tinalikuran at binalahura siya. pero nagbabalik siya ulit ngayon para ipaglaban ang hustisya kahit pa ang ibig sabihin ay kakalabanin niya muli ang isang Duterte na malaki pa rin ang pag-asang maging presidente at gantihan siya.
I am afraid the nation may never be able to adequately pay her back for her suffering and sacrifice. 🥹
Taena. Philippines, now you see why Diokno should have been a Senator.
Iyong intelligence, iyong statemanship, iyong fundamental understanding of what a public office means—in full display with this slice of his appearance before the court.
no because every time we say "baka naman..." it somehow feels like he hears us 😭 short-sleeved barong, reassurance to trust him, another winri like...talagang spolied tayo sakanya.
after such a heavy day, i just hope this little corner of the internet can be a small source of comfort and pahinga for him, the same way he's become one for us. 🥹
SHERWIN AND HIS TEAM 👏👏👏 Agile, prepared, ready, one step ahead. He knew this would be thrown at him but he came prepared. And he delivered. THAT’S A LEADER!!! @stgatchalian
ang sa’kin lang, pwede namang “Win” nalang ang ginamit instead of Sherwin para magkasya ang name AAHAHAHAHA but who cares I’m all for Gatchalian Risa mehehe
not to be delulu though this may be
naniniwala kasi ako na everything happens for a reason. at the end of the day, aware tayo at nirerespeto ang private lives ng #WinRi. still, a part of me thinks na the boom of this love team at this time was pre-written by the universe, God, or the stars, maybe not to have them be together for real, but so that finally, ma-organisa na ang mas maraming tao na makialam sa nangyayari sa senado at sa impeachment. can you imagine kung hindi nagkaroon ng #WinRi? baka mga trolls at traditional opposition, with the former dominating, lang laman ng online feeds natin.
whatever happens in the future, I’m happy we’re here for SP, Sen. Risa, and the majority bloc. 🥹
Senators Risa Hontiveros and Sherwin Gatchalian inspect the raided Baofu compound of Zun Yuan Technology Inc. in Bamban, Tarlac.
Both senators were astonished by the structures and amenities inside Baofu, especially villas with a market value of P44 million each. | via @joannmanabat12 https://t.co/Ir2NxdL1uu
I raised with my colleagues the idea of electing Senator Escudero to preside over the impeachment court, and I’m glad the body acted on it.
This was a deliberate suggestion on my part. Looking at everything before this Senate in the coming months, I felt strongly that the impeachment trial and our other constitutional duties each deserved a leader’s full, undivided attention, not one competing with the other for the same hours in the day.
Senator Escudero will preside over the day-to-day conduct of the trial. As Senate President, I retain full supervision over the impeachment court and will stay closely engaged throughout, to ensure the proceedings are conducted fairly, in accordance with the Constitution, our Rules of Procedure on Impeachment Trials, and the highest standards of due process.
This arrangement also allows me to help shepherd the other equally important business awaiting this chamber, chief among them, key Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council (LEDAC) measures, deliberations on the proposed 2027 national budget, and hearings in aid of legislation on urgent national concerns such as the flood control controversy and school-related violence and the other urgent business of the nation.
Nais kong tiyakin sa taumbayan na hindi ito nangangahulugan na binabalewala natin ang bigat ng paglilitis na ito. Sa katunayan, ipinapakita nito ang ating determinasyon na bigyan ng buong pansin, kapwa ang paglilitis at ang ibang tungkuling nakaatang sa Senado.
Ang impeachment ay isa lamang sa mga usaping kailangang harapin ng Senadong ito nang buong husay, kasabay ng patuloy nating pagtugon sa tumataas na presyo ng petrolyo, sa mataas na inflation, at sa kawalang-katiyakan ng ating ekonomiya na dama ng bawat Pilipinong pamilya araw-araw.
Ito ang mga usaping hindi maaaring ipagpaliban, at ito rin ang mga usaping patuloy naming bibigyan ng pinakamataas na prayoridad.
Ang Senadong ito ay nakatuon at handang magtrabaho, para sa katarungan, para sa kaunlaran, at para sa kinabukasan ng bawat Pilipino.
Patnubayan po tayong lahat ng Panginoon!
