Tired of the shitty govt that we have, but still continuing to hope that there's a way out of this hell. Laban pa rin, kahit nakakapagod at nakakasawa na.

My card was skimmed in Bangkok. $2,000 gone.
My bank said "investigation takes 90 days, don't expect much."
Visa's global rules say I owe $0 from day one. The bank was using my money to fund their fraud investigation.
One email. Reversed in 48 hours.
Here is the sentence that ends the delay:
🚨₱332 Billion Later: The Price of Falling on Deaf Ears
I wrote about this before; but now, there is a video from 7 years ago about House Majority Leader Rolando Andaya Jr’s expose.
This whole mess went down during the Duterte administration, but the warnings completely fell on deaf ears.
Despite the massive red flags brought to light by Andaya Jr., the Duterte admin did nothing and the issue was swept under the rug.
1. Andaya exposed that ₱75 billion was secretly added to the 2019 DPWH budget.
A DPWH official testified under oath that this money did not come from their agency; it only appeared after the budget went through the DBM.
2. Out of that insertion, ₱14.5 billion went to flood control.
In total, the government allocated a staggering ₱332 billion for flood defenses in just three years (2017 to 2019).
Yet, heavily hit flood-prone areas continued to suffer.
3. While areas devastated by Typhoon Usman received virtually no help, over ₱385 million was funneled into six specific flood and drainage projects in Casiguran, Sorsogon — the hometown of the politically powerful Hamor family.
✳️ The Casiguran breakdown:
Himaoyon Flood Control (₱75M)
Lungib Seawall (₱80M)
Somal-ot Seawall (₱100M)
Cagpagol River Control (₱45M)
Suji River Control (₱25M)
Poblacion Drainage System (₱60M).
4. The main contractor landing these deals was Aremar Construction Corporation.
Corporate records revealed a massive conflict of interest: one of Aremar’s main incorporators was married to the daughter of then-DBM Secretary Benjamin Diokno.
5. To bypass scrutiny, a firm called C.T. Leoncio Construction allegedly acted as a conduit.
They won around ₱2 billion in Bicol infrastructure projects but secretly passed the actual work and profits over to Aremar.
6. Andaya produced actual deposit slips proving that over ₱70 million (including a single transfer exceeding ₱11.4 million) was moved directly into Aremar's bank accounts, which major anti-money laundering questions for the banks involved.
🔸What happened to Andaya after:
Following this intense expose, Andaya faced heavy political backlash and survived multiple assassination attempts, including separate incidents where his vehicle was shot at in 2018 and 2021.
Tragically, before his findings could ever lead to any real accountability, he was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head at his residence in June 2022.
🔸Where it stands today:
Because everything fell on deaf ears back then, absolutely nothing happened.
No final court ruling ever established criminal liability, and those accused denied any wrongdoing.
But the core question remains: if the government spent ₱332 billion back then, why are Filipinos still drowning in floods today?

HAPPENING NOW: The Office of the Vice President for Higher Education (VPHE) is holding a town hall meeting at the Leong Hall Auditorium today, June 16, to give members of the HE community an avenue “to ask questions, seek clarification, and listen to one another.” | @TheGUIDON
🚨 Before the session resumes 3pm, andami na ang na-accomplish kanina.
Five Generals promoted. Two athletes naturalized.
Agricultural Cooperatives Act ni Kiko Pangilinan, Magna Carta for BHWs ni Risa Hontiveros, and Nutrition Program ni Bam.
All passed!
Yan ang trabaho. 👏
🎙️: “You didn’t even preventively suspend Tab Baldwin and the other coaches. Kung kami ’yun [teaching staff], ginawa niyo agad yun.”
That woman is Carmel Abao, faculty member of the 🦅Ateneo Political Science Department, she raised the real questions and spoke on behalf of many in the room.
REMEMBER👏HER 👏NAME.
If I got laid off tomorrow & had to replace my salary asap, here’s exactly what I’d do:
1. Go to Instagram and start a fresh account. Use a spare email. No one has to know.
The Supreme Court handed down a one-year suspension to Atty. @jesusfalcis.
His offense? A 2018 tweet where he fiercely defended his brother by using vulgar language (“Paky* kayo mga g*ga”!).
The High Court ruled it as simple misconduct and declared that the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability (CPRA) strictly mandates lawyers to maintain dignified language, even on personal social media accounts.
Okay, if the baseline for "dignity of the profession" is THAT strict, how on earth is Vice President Sara Duterte, who is also a lawyer, still holding onto her law license?
If we are talking about actual violations, her verbatim, public receipts are entirely unhinged.
Let us enumerate some:
1. Sara Duterte didn't just casually throw bad words around.
In her streamed press briefings, she completely abandoned any shred of professional decorum and screamed on live broadcast:
“P*tang ina mo BBM! P*tang ina mo Liza! P*tang ina mo Martin! P*tang ina ninyong lahat!”
“Binastos pa nila sa pagsisinungaling nila na kesyo taksil, kesyo corrupt, abusado. P*tang ina ninyo, sino ang corrupt?”
2. Let's NEVER forget when she was a city mayor and an active member of the bar.
Instead of upholding the law, she literally used a court sheriff as a human punching bag!
She grabbed him and repeatedly punched him in the face and head on camera just for executing a lawful court order.
Kagalang-galang yarn?
3. She openly admitted on live television to hiring an assassin to target the country's top leaders if a supposed plot against her succeeded:
“I’ve talked to a person. I said, if I get killed, don’t stop until you k*ll BBM, Liza Araneta, and Martin Romualdez. No joke. No joke."
4. She casually bragged during a press conference about threatening to desecrate a former president's remains:
“Isang beses, sinabihan ko talaga si Sen. Imee. Sabi ko sa kanya, kung hindi kayo tumigil, huhukayin ko 'yang tatay ninyo, itatapon ko siya sa West Philippine Sea!”
5. She publicly detailed her thoughts of extreme physical violence against the sitting president:
“I wanted to remove his head. I realized the relationship was already toxic... [I] just imagine myself cutting his head."
An ordinary attorney gets a one-year suspension for typing profanities on Twitter to protect his sibling.
Meanwhile, a high-profile lawyer and the sitting Vice President can publicly brag about hitmen, look at a camera to detail cutting off the President's head, threaten to dig up a former president’s corpse, physically assault a court sheriff, and scream “p*tang ina ninyong lahat" on live broadcast with zero professional consequences!
Hello, IBP? Ano na?
The CPRA allows you to initiate disbarment proceedings motu proprio when a lawyer's misconduct is THIS flagrant and very public!
The rules apparently apply to everyone except her.
Time to strip her of that license!
