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!
@hazelnyd22 I'm really enjoying the drama. Every ep is like an onion a new layer is peeled. I love that they didn't reveal everything at once and we're figuring and finding out things along the way.
tbh she's not really in "love" with him rn, only repaying debts and healing them, while his emotions are continuously advancing... so most likely, she just sees it as a plan failing rather than hurting a loved one - her mental situation is complex too, but to each their own...
ye li's revenge tactics are terrifying. she lets powerful people do the work for her without even knowing they're being used. she make them unknowingly carry out her plans while she watches from the shadows. my girl is cunning and resourceful.

Im so fascinated with Yeli character.
Usually, when writers create a character who's seeking revenge for a loved one, they make them look intimidating, sharp eyes, a cold expression, and an obviously ruthless aura. But what I love about Yeli is that she's the complete opposite.
We MUST ensure that no Cayetanos, Villars, Padillas, Marcoletas, Marcoses, and Legardas will win in the 2028 elections.
We have seen firsthand how political dynasties stunt our political development, deprive us of any meaningful change.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. HINDI NA PWEDE ‘TO.
Ang tungkulin natin ay maglingkod at magtrabaho. Kailangang ibalik ang direksyon ng Senado matapos itong hindi makapagsagawa ng sesyon sa loob ng tatlong araw.
Naghihintay na ng solusyon ang ating mga kababayan sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na problema. May mga panukalang batas na nabinbin at mga isyung kailangang talakayin.
Inaabot ko ang aking kamay sa lahat ng Senador, majority man o minority, na magkaisa para sa iisang layunin.
Ibabalik natin ang dignidad ng institusyong ito sa gawa at hindi sa salita.
Sayang ang ipinapasahod ng taong-bayan kung hindi nagagamit ang oras ng Senado para sa trabaho.
Humigit-kumulang ₱25 milyon ang ginagastos kada araw sa operasyon ng Senado para sa kuryente, utilities, pasahod, at iba pang pangangailangan.
Kapag walang sesyon, walang batas o resolusyong maipapasa. Maaantala rin ang kumpirmasyon ng ating military personnel.
Today, I take my oath as Senate President Pro Tempore.
Nagpapasalamat ako sa tiwala at kumpiyansang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng aking mga kasamahan sa Senado.
Buong pagpapakumbaba kong tinatanggap ang responsibilidad na ito. Patuloy tayong magtatrabaho at tutupad sa ating tungkulin para sa sambayanang Pilipino.
Here's a thing that not a lot of people are paying attention to. Well-oiled machine ang minority.
Erwin has been positioning himself slowly as the speaker of the minority and it became incredibly obvious today. He's been giving interviews on some shows as recently as yesterday morning sa ANC. But it doesn't stop there.
Notice how the other members are often speaking when the journalists are there sa loob ng Senate halls. They're not shying away from the questions. Ang daming sound byte lalo na si Sen. Migz and Sen. Raffy, sometimes Sen. Bam as well. After that, Sen. Kiko, Sen. Risa, and/or Sen. Sherwin are often the ones to post the statement of the minority immediately.
Recently, even Sen. JV is not shying away from the journalists sa loob ng Senate halls. Sen. Ping is open about his disappointment thru his twitter account while Sen. Tito is their go-to pagdating sa rules and representation of statesmanship as the former SP. And today, EVEN Sen. Lito was not hiding his disappointment by joking out loud what he would do if presiding officer siya.
They may not agree on every little principle they have, but the minority is united.
I wasn't a fan of the Tulfo brothers, they became the external backbone of a minority whose principles just needed to be spoken out loud. That is how you use your specialty for the greater good.
Long live this Solid Block 11!
“Kung si Marcoleta, hahamunin niya akong pumunta ng Senado para BATUKAN siya, I will accept that as well,” @TrillanesSonny in an interview on Saturday, May 30. 🔥🔥🔥

How could there have been any action or discussion before the Committee on Rules when no Committee on Rules has been organized to date?
The timing raises a question that the public deserves to hear debated openly. If the proposal is truly defensible, then let it pass through the proper route.
We owe it to the people who voted for us to do our mandate.
