Don't you find this a bit weird? He's literally the most powerful person in the country and he's commenting on this issue through a podcast...almost speaking from an "outsider's perspective." When he in fact, he should be laying down concrete measures and reassuring the nation.
'I WAS SHOCKED' WATCH: President Bongbong Marcos revealed that he was surprised to learn that the practice of inspecting completed government projects for approval by local government units was scrapped during the Duterte administration. Marcos said that this standard

The Senate is a joke. Most of its members exist only to cover their own arses. In aid if legislation? More like in aid of self-preservation. May pake sila sa dissatifaction ng peers nila, pero sa dissatisfsaction ng taong bayan, wala.

I may be wrong, but it seems the Senate is caught in internal politics & the victim here is the public. Transparency & accountability has taken a back seat. We should demand that the ICI make their proceedings OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! It cannot be held behind closed doors. #Makialam
The Senate has suspended the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing on anomalous flood control projects “until further notice,” committee chairman Senator Panfilo Lacson said on Saturday. READ: https://t.co/VcZowi2xZx

Good luck to all the board takers! Just focus on the exam. Put your game face on and put the world on airplane mode. It's just you and the exam. And while you're at it, might as well shoot for the moon! 😄

Yung 500 pesos pinagkakasya sa buong pamilya. It tells how detached they are from the people they serve.

Napakalaking insulto para sa mga ordinaryong Pilipino na tawaging barya yung 902 million. I know it was just used as an expression, but to even think of calling it barya, when the average Filipino couldn't even earn a fraction of that amount over multiple successive generations.
'BARYA LANG PO ITO, IBIGAY NA PO NATIN' Sen. Imee Marcos expressed her support for the proposed ₱902.895 million budget for Vice President Sara Duterte’s office for 2026 during a budget briefing on Monday. Despite the confidential funds issue, the Senate Finance Committee

Can we just get rid of guarantee letters for good? It creates the illusion that politicians are helping them when these are actually gov funds intended for them. A centralized system would be more efficient rather than having people beg politicians for help
The Department of Social Welfare and Development is preparing new rules to ban politicians from participating in cash aid payouts, aiming to insulate social protection programs from political influence. READ: https://t.co/QTEIPmdKkV

‘KUNG HINDI KA PA GALIT, BAKIT?’ Former DPWH undersecretary Roberto Bernardo told the Senate Blue Ribbon inquiry that nearly all bidding in the agency was fixed. He detailed how lawmakers, officials, and even contractors colluded through budget insertions, phased projects and

I say we put his entire family behind bars. We're talking about billions here. You can't seriously believe his wife, siblings, and children think this is clean money they're burning?
SYSTEMATIC PLUNDER. ECONOMIC SABOTAGE. If DPWH Alcantara’s testimony is to be believed, Zaldy Co was able to insert funds in every step of the budget process - not for economic growth but to line his pockets. He used his very position as Appropriations Committee Chair to

How big is ₱35,240,000,000.00? To exhaust that amount in just one year, you would need to spend a staggering ₱96.85 million every single day. Sounds unreal? Even if you decided to spend ₱3 million a day, it would still take you 32 years and 4 months before the money finally

I hope this serves as a wake up call for our countrymen who feel indifferent to what's going on. Your voices are needed now more than ever. Collectively, we must hold the people accountable for stealing from the very people they have sworn to protect. There's blood in their hands

They didn't have a choice because you deprived them of that choice. It's not just about stealing. It's pilfering funds that are meant to protect people. The repercussions extend beyond one patient and his family. When the hospitals are filled to the brim with Leptospirosis cases,

to makeshift leptospirosis wards. I've seen them since I was an intern and you'd think it would be better over the years but it has only gotten worse. It's the same old story. A 22/M, father of a 1 year old baby, who had to wade through floodwaters for a meager wage.

Every year, hundreds of Filipinos die from leptospirosis. While it's virtually unheard of in other countries, it's a grim reality in our country. Whenever it's typhoon season, we brace ourselves for the deluge of Leptospirosis cases. Some hospitals even convert basketball courts

UST is showing to Philippine Sports Commission exactly how you become a proper host. No fancy props (aka 50M cauldron)— instead, have full production and world-class artists to perform. Sa next SEA Games or Asian Games na PH ang host, UST na lang ang kuhanin niyong prod. 😆
