Rep. Diokno Exposes the Defense's Accusation of "Fishing Expedition" na isa palang Cheap na 'FISHING' at Blanket na Palusot...
Meaning, ginagamit lang ng Defense ang term na 'fishing expedition' as a weapon to discredit the motions and actions of the Prosecution.
Naglabas ng karagdagang paliwanag si Senador Robin Padilla kasunod ng kaniyang viral na manifestation sa prosekusyon na huwag maging one-sided. #VPonTrial

Impartiality is not optional for an impeachment judge. It is a constitutional and mandatory requirement and Senator Padilla has repeatedly and publicly failed to meet it.
‘SANA HINDI ONE-SIDED ANG ATING PROSEKUSYON’
Ito ang hiling ni Senator-judge Robin Padilla sa kalagitnaan ng pagtatanong niya kay lead prosecutor Gerville Luistro sa ika-9 na araw ng impeachment trial ni Vice President Sara Duterte.
Sa isang press conference matapos ang trial, sinagot ito ni Luistro at sinabing mas nakapagtataka raw kung ipagtatanggol nila ang respondent. #VPonTrial
‘THAT WAS A NATURAL REACTION. WE CAN’T HELP IT’
Atty. Amando Virgil Ligutan explains the prosecution’s reaction that triggered Sen. Robin Padilla’s outburst on Day 9 of the impeachment trial.
‘PANAGUTIN ANG DAPAT PANAGUTIN’
Ito ang iginiit ni House Senior Minority Leader at Mamamayang Liberal Rep. Leila de Lima kaugnay sa pangangailangan ng pananagutan sa pamahalaan.
Ayon kay de Lima, mayroong mga nagsasabi na dapat na tutukan na lamang ng pamahalaan ang pagtugon sa tumataas na presyo ng langis at pagtulong sa mga Pilipinong naiipit sa tensyon sa Middle East.
Bagaman tama aniya na dapat laging nakatutok ang gobyerno ukol dito, malaking insulto umano ito sa taumbayan kung sinasabi lamang ito upang ilihis at kalimutan ang pagpapanagot sa mga tiwali sa gobyerno.
“Kung papabayaan lang natin ito, magpapatuloy ang mga pagnanakaw sa mga pondo na dapat sana'y nagagamit sa mga serbisyo sa panahon ng krisis o pangangailangan,” dagdag niya.
🚨MIKE DEFENSOR’S MANUFACTURED HISTORY OF SCANDALS
Before weighing the current accusations against President Marcos Jr and Former Speaker Romualdez, it is essential to review Mike Defensor’s track record of "exposés" that failed to deliver:
.
1. 2001: The Ador Mawanay Fiasco
Defensor presented "star witness" Ador Mawanay to link Senator Ping Lacson to money laundering and drugs. Two years later, Mawanay recanted everything, admitting the claims were fabricated and he was pressured to lie.
.
2. 2008: The ZTE-NBN Perjury Case
During the Arroyo administration, Defensor was accused of bribing whistleblower Jun Lozada to stay silent. Defensor retaliated with a perjury case against Lozada, but the court dismissed the complaint, labeling it an attempt to silence a legitimate witness.
.
3. 2022: The Quezon City "Billions" Claim
While running for Mayor, Defensor alleged massive corruption in COVID-19 contracts. The claims failed to lead to any legal findings or convictions, and the public responded by handing him a landslide electoral defeat.
.
4. 2025: The "Fake Notary" Incident
Defensor backed Orly Guteza, who claimed to have delivered cash to House leaders. The narrative collapsed when the Notary Public officially disclaimed the affidavit, stating their signature on the document had been forged.
.
5. 2026: The "18 Marines" Script
Most recently, Defensor presented 18 individuals claiming to be "bagmen" who delivered ₱800 billion in cash to the President and Speaker. The Palace dismissed this as "lousy scriptwriting," noting that 800 tons of cash cannot be transported in suitcases.
.
The Pattern of Political Theater
We should not be surprised by these latest allegations. History shows that when Mike Defensor claims to have found "unprecedented corruption," it is rarely about the truth and almost always about political positioning.
With the 2028 elections approaching, these recycled tactics suggest an audition for a spot on a future opposition slate rather than a genuine pursuit of accountability.
ALL IN THE FAMILY💵💵💰
FIRST ON B: The two daughters of the late DPWH Undersecretary Maria Catalina Cabral figured prominently in a ₱520 million family-linked money network that allegedly used bank accounts and insurance policies to move, park, and conceal unexplained funds, a pattern the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) said showed signs of layering and possible laundering.
The transactions are being examined alongside allegations that Cabral served as a gatekeeper for kickbacks from DPWH flood control and other infrastructure projects, including funds allegedly meant for her former bosses, Senator Mark Villar, who served as DPWH secretary from 2016 to 2022, and former DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan.
Based on documents obtained by Bilyonaryo, AMLC traced ₱317.97 million in insurance-related placements made by Cabral to her daughters as beneficiaries—₱210.608 million to Cheyenne Stefanie E. Cabral in 2015, 2018, and 2023, and ₱106.759 million to Coleen Gabrielle E. Cabral in 2024 and 2025.

I wonder who is this “individual” who called former Executive Secretary Bersamin and told him he had to go.
Bersamin said caller was not from Malacanang but a private individual.
My source tells me this individual also called former Budget Sec Mina Pangandaman when she was in the middle of the senate budget deliberations.
Must have a lot of power & influence?
Bersamin was a former Supreme Court Chief Justice. Yet, no one from Malacanang had the courtesy to speak with him. Bersamin said he just saw it in the PCO 2pm press conference.
Bersamin said “I am not the mastermind of anything”. I wonder - does he know who is? What else does he know?
COMELEC investigating Rodente Marcoleta for violating election laws is the result of people who made noise about it.
So kung ikaw ay isa sa mga nag post, like, or share tungkol sa violation niya, raise your hand and give yourself A PAT ON THE BACK! 💯
👏👏👏
I DONT give a hoot if she destroys whatever image is left of her clan. I do care about the grave injustice she committed against Archimedes Trajano and his family. She's a murderous bitch! #JusticeToArchimedesTrajano
