May hiling si Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto sa iba pang aniya'y tiwaling pulitiko at indibidwal matapos makulong si Curlee Discaya, na asawa ng kaniyang nakalaban sa pagkaalkalde noong nakaraang eleksyon.

Contractor Curlee Discaya on Monday said he will name more than 150 government officials, including members of Congress, whom he claims received kickbacks from allegedly anomalous flood control projects.

'THEY ARE UNWORTHY OF OUR RESPECT''
Dumistansya ang Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) sa 18 nagpakilalang umano’y ex-marines na dumalo sa pagdinig ng Senado kaugnay ng maanomalyang flood control projects.
Ikinadidismaya rin daw ng PMC na tatlong retired marines ang sangkot dito.
"We understand that their involvement was entirely of their own choosing and that they did his on their own personal volition... We should always look with disdain against opportunistic groups and individuals trying to link to their actions as being true Marine,” pahayag nila.
Una nang nilinaw ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) na wala na sa serbisyo o kaya'y hindi lahat sa kanila ay dating miyembro ng PMC.

Senator Alan Peter Cayetano is no stranger to taking the path of least resistance when the pressure is on — whether it's invoking his famous family name or retreating to Facebook Live, where critics can't challenge him in real time.
Now, a decades-old anecdote from his student activist days has resurfaced as Cayetano faces criticism for refusing to let go of the Senate presidency, even after the post was declared vacant during the June 3 plenary session.

Next time someone tells a woman she’s exaggerating about street harassment, show them this. They will target anything they think is vulnerable. The victim’s body or face doesn't matter to them at all.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
This is the article: https://t.co/YkZrpqBWBQ
A newspaper clipping about the young Jovito Salonga is making the rounds online, and it is easy to understand why.
The short article identified Salonga as a 27-year-old law professor who had already earned law degrees from both Harvard and Yale, and had just won the Andrew Cottier Prize for writing the best paper on International Law at Yale.
For many Filipinos, the clipping is not just nostalgia. It is an indictment.
At a time when the Senate is filled with a mix of lawyers, broadcasters, actors, former police officials, political heirs, executives, and career politicians, Salonga’s credentials feel almost unreal.
Long before he became Senate President, Salonga had already topped the Philippine Bar, studied at Harvard and Yale, taught law, and built a reputation as one of the country’s sharpest legal minds.
But Salonga was not admired for brilliance alone. As senator, he became one of the country’s most respected and principled public servants—a lawmaker known for independence, integrity, and courage even when his positions were unpopular.
He fought the Marcos dictatorship, defended political prisoners, survived the Plaza Miranda bombing, and continued speaking truth to power. After EDSA, he chaired the PCGG and helped pursue the recovery of ill-gotten wealth. As Senate President, he also led the historic 1991 vote rejecting the extension of the U.S. bases treaty.
That is why the old clipping stings. At 27, Salonga was already being recognized internationally for scholarship. Later, he proved that intelligence could be matched with moral courage.
The issue is not that only lawyers or academics should sit in the Senate. Public service can come from many professions. But the viral Salonga clipping reminds Filipinos of a higher standard: senators who were not merely famous, but formidable.
In that sense, the post is less about the past than the present. It quietly asks whether voters are still sending their best to the Senate.
Pussy ass bitch always walks out of interviews when he’s called out on his lies. Then he reverts to name calling. The good part is watching the lumbering fat fuck struggle to get out of his chair. Have I ever told you guys how much I hate this motherfucker?
🔥🔥🔥 TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.
Is this why Senator Loren Legarda is stubbornly clinging to her Senate President Pro Tempore position?
It seems the government is taking her son, Rep. Leandro Leviste, to court over a massive solar project bust, and even seeking an asset freeze for a staggering ₱3.08 billion in damages.
