dear God, sana po yung isang 52 yrs old, 6ft tall, chinito, matalino, mabait, maalaga na senador ay ibigay nyo po sa isang 60 yrs old, 5’5ft tall, mestiza, maganda, matalino, mabait, matapang, maalaga na senadora. ayan po sila sa picture 🕯️
things that are worth your attention
1. pax silica
2. vp sara’s impeachment trial
3. the illegal dumpsite and aeta ancestral land dispute in subic
4. livelihood crisis of filipino farmers and fisherfolk
and so much more. being informed is our responsibility, not a choice.
Just to clarify this once and for all because there seems to be some misinformation going around.
Our visit to both senators happened only a few days ago—July 15, 2026, to be exact. It did not happen a month ago.
The only thing from about a month earlier was the gift that happened to be visible in the photo. It was already on the table when we arrived, and some people mistakenly assumed the entire visit took place then.
We also brought our own gifts. The one for the Senate President wasn’t visible in the photo because it had already been placed on his personal desk. Meanwhile, the gift Senator Risa was holding in the photo was our gift.
The Senate team’s media staff also reached out to us before posting the photos and asked if we were comfortable with them sharing them. We gave our consent.
We're simply setting the record straight and clearing up the misunderstanding. The timeline being shared is incorrect, and conclusions were made based on a gift that happened to be in the background. There was no hidden agenda—just an assumption that doesn’t match what actually happened.
I hope this clears up the confusion that this happened a month ago.

hello, SP @stgatchalian,
leadership also means addressing issues that hit close to home. we hope you'll speak on the situation in sibuyan island and clarify your position in light of the reported links between your family's business interests and the mining company at the center of the controversy.
whatever your stance on the matter, the public deserves clarity and the assurance that the welfare of local communities and the environment will always come before private interests.
our little community has always stood for good governance. because of that, we believe every public official should be held to the same standard - transparency, accountability, and integrity - without exception.
in looking into this issue, sana po hindi lang legalities ang tignan. sana po pati ang sustainability, environmental protection, and conduct of genuine public consultation with residents ay mabigyan din ng pansin. as winners and Filipinos, we’re counting on you po, senator @risahontiveros and SP @stgatchalian. 🙏
@stgatchalian i may not be from sibuyan island, but i come from a province that has also been greatly affected by mining companies. i know firsthand the harmful effects mining can have on the environment and on the community. i hope you can speak out about this, especially since your family is involved. i hope you’ll choose to protect the environment/community over power and money.
'GALAPAGOS OF ASIA' UNDER THREAT
William Gatchalian’s controversial mining venture has cleared a key political hurdle on Sibuyan Island, often called the “Galapagos of Asia.” But the bigger battle is now unfolding beyond the town hall.

Since this morning, there have been multiple discussions in our WinRi GDMs. It’s good to see that WinRi Nation/Winners are open to different interpretations and healthy discourse surrounding this issue. Hindi na napahinga ang GDMs because of this. As much as possible, gusto namin may own take and own discourse ang Winners.
While opinions may differ, one thing remains the same:
WE JOIN THE CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION!
@risahontiveros@stgatchalian
in the 19th Congress, Senator Risa Hontiveros filed a Senate Resolution No. 459 directing the appropriate Senate Committee to conduct an inquiry in aid of legislation into the nickel and metallic mining activities in Sibuyan Island, Romblon. unfortunately, public record doesn’t seem to show SRN 459 being taken up.
considering recent developments regarding this, including protests from residents and environmental advocates, we respectfully call on Senator Risa Hontiveros, SP Win Gatchalian, and both Houses of Congress in the 20th Congress, to conduct an inquiry into the mining activities in Sibuyan Island.
