Pasensya na’t medyo mahaba ang video, pero importante ito.

Bakit nga ba PEKE ang “Anti-Political Dynasty” Bill na pinasa ng Kogreso nitong linggo? At higit sa lahat, ano ang pwede pa nating gawin para magkaroon ng batas na tunay na magwawakas sa mga dinastiya?

Panoorin ito at mag-comment kung ano ang tingin niyo dito!

@ChelDiokno Thank you Atty Chel for always taking a pro people stance. Corporate greed!

The United States will be consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in June 2026 by the American bishops 🇺🇸 🇻🇦

Exactly 250 years after the nation was founded in 1776.

A consecration means giving something completely to God. In this case, the bishops are placing our nation into the love and care of Jesus.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus shows how much He loves us. It reminds us of His mercy, His compassion, and His desire to be close to every person.

This devotion goes back to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, a nun who received visions of Jesus in the 1600s. He asked that people and even nations be dedicated to His Heart, promising grace and help to those who trust in Him.

This moment is not just for leaders. It is also an invitation for all of us.

We are being called to turn back to God, to pray more, to go to Confession, to receive the Eucharist, and to trust Jesus in our daily lives.

In a time where there is a lot of confusion and division, this is a reminder that real peace comes from Christ.

His Heart is always open to us.

The question is… will we open our hearts to Him too?

Share this. Many people need this reminder right now.

Public Statement: Confronting the Nation’s Leading Killer Diseases
Authored by Dr. Tony Leachon

The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reported that in 2024, the top causes of death among Filipinos were ischemic heart disease (coronary artery disease), neoplasms (cancers), and cerebrovascular diseases (stroke). Ischemic heart disease alone accounted for nearly 20% of all deaths nationwide, making it the leading killer disease in the country—consistent with global trends where coronary artery disease remains the number one cause of death.

Equally concerning is the life expectancy of Filipinos, which stands at only 72 years, significantly lower than many Asian countries where lifespans range from 77 to 84 years. This gap reflects systemic challenges beyond medicine—it is rooted in lifestyle, environment, and governance.

Why Are Filipinos Living Shorter Lives?

• Lifestyle risks: High prevalence of smoking, alcohol use, obesity, and sedentary living.
• Urban environment: Lack of walkable, safe spaces discourages mobility and daily exercise.
• Weak universal health care (UHC): Despite legislation, equitable access to affordable care remains elusive.
• Public health neglect: Preventive programs are underfunded and poorly executed.
• PhilHealth defunding: Financial protection for families continues to erode, leaving many vulnerable to catastrophic health costs.

The Call to Action

We must confront these realities with urgency and moral clarity. The solutions are clear:

• Invest in public health education and prevention.
• Fully implement UHC, ensuring equitable access to care.
• Redesign cities to prioritize mobility, walkability, and wellness.
• Demand accountability in PhilHealth funding and governance.
• Promote a cultural shift toward healthier lifestyles, supported by policy and community action.

Filipinos deserve to live longer, healthier lives. At 72 years, our average lifespan is a sobering reminder that promises of reform remain unfulfilled. We must demand better—not tomorrow, but today.

Naalala ko tuloy nung pumila ako para sa ₱1,500.00 ANNUAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE for senior citizens (as mandated by City Ordinance No. 0954-22). Nasa gym naman ng barangay gi-held, may mga plastic chairs, pero napakainit ng singaw ng araw mula sa bubong ng gym. Makita mo ang mga SCs, ang iba may mga kapansanan na, may tungkod, may partial paralysis in certain parts of their bodies, naka-damit na parang pambahay lang, suot ang pudpod na tsinelas. Tama si nanay dito. Nagtrabaho at nagbayad ka ng buwis ng 40 taon, tapos ito ang SUKLI ng gobyernong binubuhay mo galing sa pawis at dugo mo!

[Philippine Supreme Court Public Information Office @SCPh_PIO]

The #SupremeCourtPH has ruled that wealth acquired by a public officer during their time in office that clearly exceeds their lawful income is presumed unlawfully acquired and may be forfeited, even if registered under the names of other individuals.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Japar B. Dimaampao, the SC’s Third Division upheld the forfeiture of properties, bank deposits, and investment accounts in the name of retired Lieutenant General Jacinto C. Ligot (General Ligot), as well as assets traced to him but registered under his wife, children, and relatives.

The Ombudsman conducted a lifestyle investigation on General Ligot—who served in the Armed Forces of the Philippines from 1970 until his retirement in 2004, and was a commissioned comptroller during the relevant period—to determine whether the properties he acquired during active service exceeded his salary and other lawful income.

Its probe into General Ligot’s declared assets in his Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth from 1982 to 2003, which did not reflect the actual properties under his name and those of his close family members, led to a petition for forfeiture filed against him before the Sandiganbayan. Also named in the petition were his wife, their children, and his sister and brother-in-law, who were allegedly used as fronts to conceal his assets.

The Sandiganbayan ordered the forfeiture of the properties worth PHP 102 million as well as deposits and investment funds amounting to PHP 53 million after finding that the same were unlawfully acquired.

The SC upheld the Sandiganbayan’s ruling, noting that General Ligot’s wife and children did not have independent income sources but still owned properties and held significant bank and investment accounts under their names.

Regarding the condominiums, even though they were titled in his sister’s name, the amortizations were paid by General Ligot. The condominium listed under his brother-in-law’s name was initially bought by General Ligot’s wife, who lacked her own income.

The SC held that these circumstances indicate that General Ligot was the true owner, even if the legal titles were in other people’s names.

Under Republic Act No. 1379, properties of public officers are presumed to be illegally acquired when they are manifestly out of proportion to their lawful income.

This presumption applies not only to properties under the public officer’s name but also to those hidden or transferred to others, as long as true ownership can be traced to the public officer.

The SC emphasized that registration under another person’s name does not prevent forfeiture when true ownership can be traced to the public officer.
