There is something deeply troubling about a society that is quick to demand the harshest punishment for children, while celebrating convicted plunderers, tolerating corruption, and rewarding leaders who normalize violence.

Young people do not grow up in a vacuum. They learn from the values we model, the behavior we reward, and the systems we build around them. Violence rarely begins at the moment it becomes visible. It is often preceded by bullying, social isolation, neglect, untreated trauma, and countless missed opportunities for intervention.

If we want children to reject violence, then we must also be willing to examine the ways our society excuses, glorifies, and profits from it. We cannot celebrate violence among adults and expect young people to learn a different lesson.

Ito yung political ad na nilabas namin nung 2016 campaign pero hinarang ng kampo ni duterte. Ngayon, alam nyo na ang epekto ng isang violent environment sa mga bata.

THE PHILIPPINE SENATE in 28 days under Alan Peter Cayetano:

Estimated Cost - P700M. Output - chaos, gunfire, Bato’s escape despite ICC-issued warrant while under its “protective custody”, session boycott, failed destabilization attempt, unauthorized committee hearings highlighted by one not presided nor attended by a single senator.

WHAT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS’ MONEY!

Pumasa sa Kamara ang Pro-Dynasty Bill ‼️

Ngayong araw, bumoto tayo ng NO sa third and final reading ng House Bill No. 8389.

Sa ilalim ng panukala, pwede pa ring mamuno ang isang pamilya sa iba’t ibang antas ng gobyerno. Hindi nito winawakasan ang political dynasties. Ginagawa lang nitong legal ang dati nang mali.

Panoorin ito para sa buong detalye. Comment below kung naniniwala kang hindi dapat minamana ang kapangyarihan!

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties!

I vote NO to House Bill No. 8389 or the “Anti-Political Dynasty Act.”

HB 8389 is not a true or genuine anti-dynasty law, but rather a dynasty legitimization act.

First: The bill has no succession ban. A governor can be succeeded by a spouse, who can be succeeded by a child, who can be succeeded by a sibling – indefinitely, legally, under this bill. 

Second: The bill permits a governor, a mayor, and a Representative from the same family governing the same province simultaneously, as it only prohibits relatives from holding office within the same level of government, not within the same territory. 

Third: The bill permits multiple congressional districts controlled by one family within the same province. Three adjacent districts, three relatives, all voting for the same party line: legal. Exactly as it operates today. Nothing changes.

Fourth: The bill neither covers party-list representatives as protected positions nor references incumbents. Therefore, a senator's son or daughter can be nominated and serve as a party-list representative – perfectly legal under this bill

Fifth: The bill limits the prohibition to relatives within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, covering spouses, parents, children, and siblings. However, this second-degree prohibition excludes broader kinship networks, such as grandparents, first cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews, through which dynastic power is often exercised. Limiting the prohibition to only the second degree narrows the reach of the law and allows extended family networks, which remain close-knit in Philippine culture, to continue operating within the same political sphere.

Sixth: The bill does not address, hence, permits substitution, caretaker designation, and every indirect route to office. The prohibition under this bill covers only direct candidacy, not the back doors.

The Filipino people have been waiting for this law since 1987. Tatlumpu't siyam na taon. 

We can do better than this. We can pass a law worthy of the wait. A law the framers of the 1987 Constitution would recognize as the fulfillment of their mandate, not a betrayal of it.

I vote NO to HB 8389, not because I oppose anti-dynasty legislation. I vote NO precisely because I support it. I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties.

The Filipino people deserve better. The Constitution demands better. We can do better.

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.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

Simple lang ito.

Yung kay Leila panahon ng Covid at siya ay nakakulong dahil nag surrender siya sa mga autoridad at nirespeto ang arresting officers. Law abiding.

Si Bato. Walang Covid ngayon, nagtatago at tinakasan ang mga autoridad. Law breaker.

Hindi dapat kinokonsinti ang law breaker.

Huwag magpaloko sa mga nagkukumpara ng langka sa durian.

Tigilan na ninyo ang mga paninira at mga kasinungalingan ninyong mga trolls na mga bayaran ng mga kurakot na pulitikong nasa likod ninyo.

Hindi nyo na kaya lokohin ang taumbayan.

[Christian Esguerra @IanEsguerra]

Let's be honest. Alan Peter Cayetano should be held accountable for Bato's escape. He should be included in the investigation.

Magkakaroon sana ng hearing sa Senado kahapon tungkol sa mataas na singil sa kuryente, kaso inuna ang rigodon. Habang nag-aagawan ng silya, dinedema na naman ang taumbayan. Simulan na dapat ang hearing nito sa Kamara!

Cancelled ang joint hearing ngayon ng Senate Committees on Ways and Means, Energy, at Public Services tungkol sa mataas na singil sa kuryente.

Noong nakaraang linggo, inihain ng Akbayan Reform Bloc ang House Resolution No. 995. Pinaiimbestigahan nito ang mataas na power bills at ang iba’t ibang charges na ipinapasa sa consumers tulad ng generation charge, transmission charge, system loss charge, universal charge, Lifeline Subsidy charge, FIT-All, GEA-All, missionary electrification charge, at buwis.

Pinapasuri din nito ang posibleng amendments sa EPIRA Law, pati ang mga patakaran ng Energy Regulatory Commission, para masiguro na ang sistema ng kuryente ay patas at para sa kapakanan ng taumbayan.

Simulan na dapat ang hearing nito sa Kamara!

Jennifer Abel, one of the most well-known TAG employees, posted a story about privacy violations and safety on her IG.

Let's talk about the privacy of your targets, your victims, shall we? You and your company have no problems with leaking falsified stories. You have no problem with spreading misogynistic lies about actresses, singers, victims.

You helped create massive smear campaigns filled with slander and libel, mobilised entire bot-armies to harass victims, targeted women in the name of male abusers and criminals.

You were never above leaking private information, stalking, harassment. Seeing such a statement from you is beyond incomprehensible, and the fact that you think you deserve more rights than the victims whose rights you violated on a daily basis is absurd. Seek help.
