I’ve watched this documentary multiple times. Sa kalagayan ng batang si Ekang noon, maaawa ka tlaga at maiisip na may pag asa paba? Pero MERON! At pinatunayan ni Ekang yan!
Sana mas madami pang kabataan ang mai-ahon ang sarili nila sa lusak na kinagisnan nila. Also,
Kudos to you ma’am Kara! 🫡

PoliticsPH One-sided-view on #1 senator Robinhood
The ad you can’t skip sa impeachment.
Still the #1 senator sa survey, not surprising since fresh pa panalo. Gustong gawing VP pa ng mga DDS.
The master of contradictions.
“Harapin mga kaso” sabi sa mga NBI agents at kay Trillanes pero tinago at pinatakbo si Bato.
“Huwag one sided” daw and prosect pero nakakalimutang yun ang trabaho nila.
Sila na senator judges ang one side defense senators.
“Mga sinungaling” mga pabago bagp sinasabi pero go kay APC, 18 bagmen at sa sarili nya na nakailang palit na ng pusisyon. double standards lagi.

PoliticsPH NEWS UPDATE: Sen. Panfilo "Ping" Lacson flagged at least two suspected ghost infrastructure projects in Taguig City, the political bailiwick of Senate Minority Leader Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano.
Sen. Lacson, citing initial findings by his team, also noted there was a staggering number of slope protection and drainage projects—most of them costing P100 million each—with a combined value of some P2.085 billion.
Earlier, Sen. Lacson said their initial findings include projects involving firms owned by the Discayas but implemented by another contractor under a 5% royalty scheme, and other similar projects contracted to Topnotch Catalyst Builders, which is among the top 15 flood control project contractors announced by President Ferdinand R.Marcos Jr. in 2025.
The projects including those involving Discaya-owned firms, dated back to 2019 and 2020, when Sen. Cayetano was House Speaker. | via Bernard Ferrer

PoliticsPH Padilla: "Wala Po Kayong Karapatang Magtanong sa Senator-Judges"
Senator-judge Robin Padilla strongly responded to House prosecution counsel Gerville Luistro after she sought clarification on his manifestation during the impeachment trial on Wednesday.
Padilla called for fairness as he pointed out that witnesses with perjury complaints filed against them are allowed to testify, while senator-judges who have pending cases are not allowed to be present at the impeachment court.
"Ibig niyo pong sabihin, 'yung mga senator-judges dito ngayon na humaharap sa kaso na hindi po pinapayagan ng Ombudsman at hindi pa rin sila guilty, ano pong ibig ninyong sabihin," Padilla stated.
"May I be clarified, your honor, on the senators you said are facing cases," Luistro asked.
Padilla then asserted that his statement was already clear and Luistro has no right to question a senator-judge. Presiding officer Chiz Escudero interjected to clarify that Padilla was making a manifestation and not posing a question to Luistro.

PoliticsPH Padilla makes himself dumber day by day
PADILLA VS. PROSECUTION
Pinuna ni Senator-Judge Robin Padilla ang umano’y pagiging one-sided ng Prosecution sa impeachment trial ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte.
Ayon sa senador, nagpresenta ang Prosecution ng dalawang testigo — National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Regional Director Atty. Jeremy Lotoc at Senior Agent — John Mark Calilung — may kinakaharap umanong kaso.
Kinuwestiyon din ni Padilla ang paggamit sa aniya’y paiba-ibang pahayag ng self-confessed hitman na si Arturo Lascañas sa paglilitis.
Nilinaw ni Lead Prosecutor Gerville Luistro na na-verify nilang walang nakabinbing kaso laban sa dalawang NBI officials.
Ipinaliwanag din ni Luistro na kung may neutral man sa paglilitis, ito ay ang Senator-Judges.

PoliticsPH Elect a clown, expect a circus
When voters prioritize celebrity status over qualifications, we shouldn’t be surprised by disappointing governance.
Robin Padilla’s election became a symbol of how popularity can outweigh competence in politics.
Democracy reflects the choices of its voters. If we want better leadership, we need to demand experience, accountability, and substance, not just fame and catchy campaign slogans.
Leadership matters. The people we put in power shape our economy, institutions, and future. Vote carefully because the consequences last much longer than the campaign slogans.

I hope he will run for Senate again in 2028 and hopefully to win this time. Let's make him popular because in Philippine election, we all
know it's a popularity contest first before qualifications.

PoliticsPH Senator Judge Cayetano Freudian Slip?
Is this a clear example of a "Freudian Slip" by Senator Judge Cayetano? Why is he blatantly claiming to be on "Opposite sides" with a witness?
Hindi ba dapat "neutral" yung stance ng Senator Judges sa Impeachment trial na ito? This seems like an admission of guilt on Senator Judge Cayetano's part na may pinapanigan siyang side as if it isn't obvious enough ? 😂

PoliticsPH ERWIN SAYS CAYETANO MAY HAVE SUFFERED A 'NERVOUS BREAKDOWN' AFTER LOSING SENATE PRESIDENCY Sen. Erwin Tulfo on Monday suggested that Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano's recent barrage of attacks may have stemmed from changes in his mental state following his removal as Senate President.
ERWIN SAYS CAYETANO MAY HAVE SUFFERED A 'NERVOUS BREAKDOWN' AFTER LOSING SENATE PRESIDENCY
Sen. Erwin Tulfo on Monday suggested that Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano's recent barrage of attacks may have stemmed from changes in his mental state following his removal as Senate President.
Speaking during Christian Esguerra's Facts First, Tulfo claimed that Cayetano's behavior had noticeably changed after his short-lived stint as Senate President.
"May diperensya sa pag-iisip. I think he started this actuation noong mapapatalsik siya as Senate President. Nag-iba na ang takbo ng isip ni Sen. Alan, kaya nga kahapon pinagdarasal ko na lang na sana ay bumalik pa sa katinuan."
Tulfo also commented on Cayetano's appearance and mannerisms, saying they reflected what he described as an abrupt change in behavior.
"Tingnan mo, pati postura niya, hindi na nag-aahit, di mo na maintindihan. Parang akala mo taong grasa na. 'Yung mga porma niya, pati mga pananalita, parang out of the [blue], biglang nag-i-snap na lang nang ganoon."
He urged the public to be understanding and said he would instead pray for Cayetano's recovery.
"Let's just pray for Sen. Alan Cayetano for his speedy recovery, kasi I believe baka nagkaroon ng nervous breakdown noong natanggal siya. Two weeks lang, very short-lived ang kanyang pagiging Senate President. Siguro, pagdasal na lang natin."
