Back at the hospital for errands. I guess I've been suppressing everything after the events from last week. I'm at the chapel right now, and just being here made me reflect on a lot of things, hence a lot of tears today.
📅 OTD 15 Years Ago: @coldplay released their 'Every Teardrop is a Waterfall' as an EP Version along with the B-sides "Major Minus" and "Moving to Mars" as part of their 5th studio album "Mylo Xyloto". 🦋

A CHEAP SHOT
Sen. Marcoleta’s attack on Sen. Risa Hontiveros that she did not know the rules because she is not a lawyer is a cheap shot, an argument from arrogance and credentialism at its worst.
One need not be a lawyer to recognize a legal issue. One need not be a doctor to recognize when a person has fever. And one need not be an engineer to recognize a bridge collapsing.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros may not be a lawyer but dismissing her argument on that basis is an attack on her credentials, not a defense of substance.
In public debate, the question is not who speaks. The question is whether what is being said is true.
If Senator Marcoleta disagreed with Senator Hontiveros, then he should answer her arguments, not her profession.
In the end, the irony was impossible to miss. Sen. Marcoleta was defeated by Sen. Sotto, a non-lawyer but knew the rules better.
That is the problem with credentialism. It confuses titles for wisdom and professions for truth.

“Ang tapang tapang niyo noong kayo ay PNP chief, tapos ngayon ito kayo tumatakbo, umiiwas sa mga pulis, umiiyak sa Senado”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GO MS. KAREN DAVILA!!!!!!!
‘WALANG HONOR, WALANG BAYAN, WALANG HIYA’
LOOK: Farmer advocate Chef Waya Araos-Wijangco expresses frustration over the abrupt cancellation of a Senate agriculture hearing on Tuesday, May 12, leaving farmers who traveled to Manila to share their struggles unheard.
“The senators have shown us clearly who they represent: themselves, their dynasties, their ambitions, their interests,” Araos-Wijangco said.
Sen. Kiko Pangilinan apologizes for the postponement, citing the Senate’s committee reorganization, and vows to continue pushing for the welfare of farmers and fisherfolk.
“The Senate reorganization is a temporary setback. It will not in any way dampen our resolve to fight for our farmers and fisherfolk and the agri sector,” Pangilinan wrote. | 📷: Araos-Wijangco/Facebook via Reymond Salgan, https://t.co/E0yNJSWpUY trainee

HINDI PORKET GALIT SA DUTERTE AY PRO-MARCOS NA! WALANG WINNER SA DALAWA TANGINA PAREHONG PROBLEMATIC! PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE CRITICIZING POLITICIANS MEANS AUTOMATICALLY WORSHIPPING THEIR OPPONENTS! DAMI PA RIN TALAGANG BOBONG PILIPINO.
Just a reminder that JV Ejercito and Migs Zubiri both abstained. They are as evil as those who voted to change the senate presidency. Ang walang paninindigan ay pumapanig sa kasamaan.
Hindi kinakaproud ang pagiging apolitical. If you think you're not affected with everything that is happening, then fuck you. We're literally being killed by the gov't tapos hindi ka pa rin galit??
huwag niyong kalilimutan ang mga pangalan at pagmumukha ng mga tutang ‘to. nagtatrabaho sila hindi para sa bayan kundi para sa mga duterte at sa sarili nilaang kapakanan ‼️
“Makakain ba ang impeachment?”
Mapapakain ka ng impeachment. Or gugutumin ka kapag hindi ‘yan na-execute ng maayos. Again, the government, the nation, and the economy works on a ripple effect. Sana ‘wag niyong kalimutan ‘yon.
If you really think about it, the Duterte camp is in absolute shambles. Resorting to dirty political maneuvers just to stay in power only makes people ask: what are they so afraid of?
If there was truly nothing to hide, there would be no need for this level of desperation.
The circus in the senate is happening because you have a corrupt president and a corrupt VP trying to outdo each other. We have a choice to end this in 2028.
lahat ng 13 na yan - kurakot, magnanakaw! malamang na nakinabang sa lagay ng POGO, flood control, lahat ng klase ng pwedeng may lagay. nakakahiya kayo! punyeta nyo!!!!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why political dynasties should not be allowed, especially in a chamber of only 24 members, and numbers game ang labanan.
Kaloka! Matagal na absent at hindi nagtrabaho. Pumasok lang para mamulitika at ipagtanggol si Sara.
Because they cannot muster a strong defense for VP Sara, they choose to prevent the trial from convening
If Senator Vicente “Tito” Sotto III is removed as Senate President today, then let us stop pretending this is about “leadership change.” This is political surrender.
Senator Alan Cayetano’s bloc is making one thing clear — they would rather protect the Dutertes than defend the Constitution and the independence of the Senate.
History will remember the senators who chose loyalty to power over loyalty to the Filipino people.
Shame on them.
