Retired but not tired, I continue to learn new things and stay sharp by reading and writing. I’m still fierce and furious in my pursuit of knowledge & growth. Follow me for insights and musings as I navigate my journey of lifelong learnings.
Senators Loren and Pia questioning today’s quorum of 12 when they were also part of the 12 in the year 2015…yet they conveniently “forgot” about it. If that’s not hypocrisy, I don’t know what is.
Walang senate secretary. Walang stenographers. Walang legislative staff from the Blue Ribbon Committee. No one is taking the minutes of the so-called hearing. This will not be on the official records of the Senate. Meaning, it’s not legal.
⚠️ For testimony to be believed, it must not only proceed from the mouth of a credible witness but must be credible by itself.
How can we believe the “18 Marites” if they claim may maleta sina Leila De Lima, Fr. Flavie, Trillanes, and the Makabayan Bloc?
Lies. All lies. 👊
You cannot invoke the Constitution only when it is convenient.
When you prevent the Senate from functioning as mandated by the Constitution, you violate the Constitution.
When you refuse to convene the Senate for three consecutive days, you violate the Constitution.
Do not dare ask to be rescued by the very Constitution you violated.
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.
Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.
This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…
Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.

Galing sa facebook post ni Antonio Contreras (ctto):
I dislike Pia Cayetano because she has mastered the art of sounding progressive without ever becoming genuinely inconvenient to power. She speaks the language of wellness, gender sensitivity, health reform, and empowerment, but somehow always manages to land safely within the comfort zone of the ruling coalition. She reminds me of that impeccably dressed student leader who delivers beautiful speeches about justice and inclusion, only to quietly abstain when the vote actually matters. Her politics often feels like yoga mat liberalism: calm, polished, branded, socially aware, but carefully insulated from real confrontation.
I dislike Loren Legarda because she has elevated political survival into an environmental art form. She can speak passionately about climate change while perfectly adapting to every changing political climate around her. If political ecosystems had an apex species, it would probably be Loren. She has been nationalist, administration ally, cultural advocate, environmental champion, and institutional loyalist all at once, with the smoothness of someone changing shawls at a diplomatic reception. I sometimes feel that if democracy itself were collapsing in the background, Loren would still be calmly moderating a panel discussion on indigenous textiles while ensuring she remained aligned with whoever controlled the exits.
I dislike Camille Villar because she represents the terrifying normalization of political inheritance as lifestyle branding. There is something uniquely dystopian about a political culture where surnames function like franchise chains. Camille arrives not as a politician forged by struggle, ideological conviction, or even scandal, but as the seamless continuation of a family corporation expanding into governance. She embodies the soft-focus Instagram version of dynasty politics: pleasant, curated, non-threatening, and algorithmically optimized for likability. Looking at her political rise sometimes feels less like witnessing democracy and more like watching a real estate developer unveil a new subdivision called “Public Service Residences.”
And I dislike Imee Marcos because she perfected the performance of selective rebellion while helping normalize Duterte-style politics when it mattered most. She cultivated the image of the quirky contrarian auntie of Philippine politics: sarcastic, dramatic, theatrical, occasionally pretending to dissent, yet repeatedly stood within the architecture of impunity that enabled the Duterte era to flourish. What irritates me is the calculated ambiguity. She knows how to appear “independent” just enough to attract disillusioned voters, while never truly severing herself from the political machinery she helped stabilize. Watching her is like watching someone throw pebbles at a burning house while quietly helping refill the gasoline tank behind everyone’s back. This she would do while stabbing her family in the back.
