Ito yung example ng force majeur:
- nasunog ang Senate building kasama ang lahat ng senador
- nagka tsunami sa Manila Bay at nalunod ang lahat ng senador.
- tinamaan ng kidlat ang mga senador
- nabiyak ang ulo ng mga senador matapos mabagsakan ng male maletang bag ng pera.
Siyempre ayaw natin na mangyari yan.
Isa pang POV ng viral May 13 "putukan" livestream ni Sampung Libo Alan Peter Cayetano: Mas dramatic 'to mga ka-nets!
Hanep, may taga-ilaw pa talaga sila matapos nilang patayin ang ilaw/kuryente(???).
Ang dami pala nila sa room na para bang may TAPING!
Wala akong paki kay Maduro. Pero may paki ako na ang Venezuela, a sovereign state, ay binomba at pinasok ng US. Dahil daw sa drugs? Maniwala naman kayo. Ang rason ay langis. Umaasta na namang pulis pangkalawakan ang US. Kapag walang umalma, ano ang isusunod nila? Mexico?
Robin Padilla is, beyond all shadow of doubt, the most intellectually barren and morally vacuous figure to ever occupy a seat in the Philippine Senate.
This latest display of idiocy—where he admits he needs “orders” from Duterte or the VP to hold anyone in contempt—confirms it: Padilla neither understands the Constitution nor respects the separation of powers. He’s not a Senator; he’s a glorified errand boy for a self-confessed murderer.
In any serious democracy, this level of ignorance would be disqualifying. But here he sits—masking cowardice as loyalty, and incompetence as conviction.
This is not just stupidity. This is treachery against the Republic.
You are not a servant of the Filipino people, Robin. You are a fanatic to impunity.
And history will remember your name—etched in the long ledger of disgrace.
Former Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles said the Chinese government allegedly covered all expenses of the vloggers who attended the seminar, most of whom are pro-Duterte social media personalities.

Why Is Sara So Angry at Martin?
Amid the numerous issues facing the country, one question continues to puzzle many: why is Vice
President Sara Duterte so furious at Speaker Martin Romualdez? Her animosity is evident in the
relentless attacks against the Speaker, ranging from social media influencers to statements from her
allies. But what is the real reason behind this anger?
Ambition and the Impeachment Plan
Reports suggest that Sara's anger stems from the failure to execute a grand plan designed to catapult
her to greater power. The blueprint? Remove Speaker Martin Romualdez and replace him with a loyalist
in the House of Representatives, who could then be leveraged to oust President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
through impeachment.
According to the timeline, this began in February 2023 when former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,
a known pro-China advocate, launched a plot to unseat Speaker Romualdez. Her motive? To control the
House as leverage against President Marcos, who had taken a firm stance against China’s incursions in
the West Philippine Sea.
Part of the plan involved courting VP Sara's participation. In exchange for her support, Arroyo allegedly
promised control of the House, which would provide the power to push for the President's
impeachment—a threat that could not be ignored.
The Outburst of "Tambaloslos"
When Speaker Martin's camp got wind of the plan, they acted quickly by downgrading Arroyo from
Senior Deputy Speaker to Deputy Speaker. This move made it clear to Sara and Arroyo’s camp that their
scheme would face significant hurdles. Shortly after, VP Sara resigned from the Lakas-CMD party,
accompanied by the infamous “Tambaloslos” insult, a clear attack on Speaker Romualdez.

accompanied by the infamous “Tambaloslos” insult, a clear attack on Speaker Romualdez.
This marked the beginning of a series of assaults on Martin—from social media trolls affiliated with the
DDS (Diehard Duterte Supporters) to public figures close to VP Sara, such as Harry Roque, Sal Panelo,
and Sass Rogando Sassot. Rather than directly targeting President Marcos, the attacks focused on
Speaker Martin to weaken the administration’s defenses.
The Confidential Funds Issue: The Trigger
Sara's anger escalated further when the House removed her requested ₱650 million in confidential and
intelligence funds (CIF) for 2024. Despite her public statement that her offices could “survive” without
these funds, it seems this became the tipping point for intensifying her campaign against Speaker
Romualdez.
Congressional leaders reallocated the CIF from the Office of the Vice President (OVP) and Department of
Education (DepEd) to agencies in greater need, such as the AFP and sectors defending the West
Philippine Sea. This decision not only demonstrated fiscal accountability but also sent a direct message
that Congress did not support using large amounts of public funds for operations in the OVP that lacked
transparency.
The True Goal: Replace President Marcos
It’s no secret that Sara’s anger toward Martin is part of a larger agenda. If Speaker Romualdez is ousted,
his replacement would be someone loyal to Sara, paving the way for an impeachment effort against
President Marcos. If the President is impeached, Sara would automatically assume the presidency. At
that point, she would control all branches of government—from the legislative to the executive.
