When they arrested activists, there were no fanfares or due process. They raided their homes violently, and in worst cases, kill them.

Why is it harder to arrest a murderer charged with crimes against humanity? Where is justice when those in power can tip its scales?

LOOK: BAYAN called for the resignations of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Vice President Sara Duterte, and all those involved in overwhelming corruption in a press conference at Erythrina Building on Monday. The coalition proposed the establishment of a people’s transition council, to be achieved by mass mobilization and composed of different civilian political blocs to hold corrupt officials to account.

Workers, farmers, and other sectoral representatives and human rights advocates described the deepening political and economic crisis under the Marcos and Duterte factions, including unlivable wages, continuing land-grabbing, and hundreds of deaths as typhoons, most recently Tino and Uwan, struck the country.

Despite Senate and Independent Committee for Infrastructure investigations into ghost flood control projects, not a single official has been tried or convicted in relation to the scandal.

“Ang sistema ng korapsyon, naka-built-in na yan sa simula pa lang, pana-panahon tumatampok lang dahil sa sobrang ganid. Bulok ang sistema, anti-people, anti-worker ito, kaya merong urgent need na palitan na ito,” Kilusang Mayo Uno Chairperson Jerome Adonis said.

BAYAN’s press conference follows Partido Lakas ng Masa’s similar call for a transition council. Both, as well as other blocs, are set to mobilize on Bonifacio Day, Nov. 30, to demand that all officials involved in corruption must step down.

“Kailangang dalhin ang protesta sa Mendiola, sa Malacañang,” said BAYAN Secretary General Mong Palatino. “Patalsikin na natin sa pwesto si President Marcos Jr. at Vice President Sara Duterte.” #BaguhinAngSistema

The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.

Nagawa kagabi sa Kamara na dagdagan ng pondo ang Free Higher Education, sana ay gawin din ito sa lahat ng esensyal na programa.

Bakit kailangan pa na sa mga pulitiko lalapit para sa tulong eh pwede namang ilapit direkta sa taumbayan.

[sieg @srsevv]

Sobrang performative lang na ililipat ang malaking tipak ng pondo ng flood-control projects sa mga programa na prone din sa corruption gaya ng AICS, TUPAD, at MAIP na ginagamit ng mga trapo. Bakit hindi na lang ilagay direkta sa mga ospital, sa edukasyon, at kabuhayan?

LAWMAKERS WHO VOTED 'NO' TO 2025 BUDGET BICAM REPORT

Five lawmakers stood their ground against the ratification of the Bicameral Conference Committee report on the proposed ₱6.3-trillion 2025 national budget, citing concerns over cuts to social services and the lack of transparency in the process.

In the House of Representatives, then-Makabayan bloc Reps. Arlene Brosas (Gabriela Women's Party), France Castro (ACT Teachers Party-list), and Raoul Manuel (Kabataan Party-list) voted "no." Manuel slammed the budget for slashing funds for education, health, and disaster preparedness while allocating huge increases to infrastructure and unprogrammed appropriations. Brosas, for her part, assailed the "railroading" of the budget and criticized the higher allocations for the military, police, and confidential and intelligence funds instead of basic social services.

In the Senate, then-Minority Leader Koko Pimentel and then-Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros likewise voted against the budget report.

The House and Senate nonetheless ratified the bicam report on House Bill No. 10800, or the proposed General Appropriations Act of 2025, through majority vote.

[Inquirer @inquirerdotnet]

‘RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, MAG RESIGN AKO’

Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa says he would “resign” if Senator Joel Villanueva were found to be involved in the anomalous flood control projects, asserting that Villanueva would have rejected the budget assistance had he known it was sourced from flood control funds.

According to former DPWH official Henry Alcantara, Villanueva requested funding for a multipurpose building project in 2022. He was later given unprogrammed appropriations in 2023 amounting to P600 million, all of which were flood control projects.

CHIZ ESCUDERO MENTIONED IN FLOOD CONTROL HEARING

Former DPWH undersecretary Roberto Bernardo mentioned former Senate president Chiz Escudero during the Senate hearing on flood control issues on Thursday.

“I delivered 20 percent of approximately 800 million or about 160 million to Maynard Ngu which was meant for Senator Escudero,” he said.

PDP-Laban desperately pinning Makabayan for the Mendiola riots is so funny to me because it was a Hakbang ng Maisug leader who was caught on cam openly calling for an “attack” on Mendiola, while Makabayan lawmakers are simply extending legal assistance to those who were arrested.

RENEE CO: I HAVE NO FAMILIAL RELATIONS TO ZALDY CO

Vice President Sara Duterte answered Representative Renee Co with a question during the hearing on the proposed 2026 budget of the Office of the Vice President (OVP) on Tuesday.

When asked by Co how the office allocates funding for the accommodations of its staff during travel, Duterte responded by asking about her relation to Representative Zaldy Co.

"Madam Chair, may I be allowed to ask a question? Magpinsan po ba si Congressman Co ngayon atsaka si Zaldy Co? Gusto ko lang malaman. Are they relatives?" she said.

Kabataan Partylist Representative Co clarified that she has no familial connection to Zaldy Co or his family.

BREAKING: Gabriela Women's Party to be proclaimed as winning 64th representative in the House of Representatives.

COMELEC Chairman George Garcia announced that Gabriela Women's Party will be proclaimed as a winning partylist for the 20th Congress.

The women's partylist will be represented by former Kabataan congresswoman Sarah Jane Elago.

The decision comes from the COMELEC resolution to increase the number of seats in the House of Representatives from 63 to 64 in compliance with the Partylist System Act (RA 7941) and the Constitution, citing that the previous 63 seats were not enough for the 20% requirement of partylists in congress.
