This week, I write about the PhilHealth decision.
"The Supreme Court’s decision last week ordering the return of P60 billion to PhilHealth was more than a legal victory. For many of us who joined the petition, it was a much-needed reminder that public funds, especially those set aside for health care, are not political

Panalo! This is a huge and very welcome victory in the midst of all the corruption issues our nation is currently facing.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court unanimously orders the return of P60 billion to PhilHealth, ruling that the fund transfer from the state insurer to the national treasury in 2024 was unconstitutional.

Kailangan pa palang kaladkarin ito para tumulong sa imbestigasyon. Para lang malinaw, hindi siya akusado ng ICI, iniimbita lang siya para tumestigo. Tulad ng ginawa na ng madaming kongresista at senador. Yung ganito umasta mukhang may tinatago, no?
Paolo Duterte won’t appear before ICI: No jurisdiction over me

This week's column is about -- what else -- joining last Sunday's Trillion Peso March, and a few thoughts on where all this is going.
I joined the second Trillion Peso March last 30 November at the People Power Monument, and let me tell you, nothing prepares you for the sound of thousands of Filipinos shouting in unison, “Ikulong ang mga kurakot.” Read more at: https://t.co/CXKunryjNK

He was lucky to get off with just a suspension. Under Art VI, Sec 16.3 of the Constitution, with a 2/3 vote, the House can "suspend OR EXPEL a Member." The same 249 votes that imposed a 60 day suspension could just as easily have resulted in his expulsion.
CONSEQUENCES CATCH UP TO KIKO BARZAGA The House of Representatives has voted 249-5-11 to enforce a 60-day suspension for Rep. Kiko Barzaga (Cavite), finding him guilty of disorderly behavior over his "offensive" and "malicious" social media posts. This came after the House

Konting kwento mula sa aking pakikiisa sa Trillion Peso March kanina sa People Power Monument. Nakakatuwa, dahil sa gitna ng matinding sikat ng araw at biglang buhos ng ulan, buong buo ang paninindigan ng mga libu-libong dumalo. https://t.co/xU87gaXGeR

Naiintindihan kaya ng mga supporter ni Duterte na yung kanilang pag-tro-troll sa ICC at pagwawala sa socmed ay isa sa ginawang batayan para ibasura ang hiningi niyang interim release? Parang hindi, no? 🤔

A Cabinet secretary telling people to have "simple" meals while billions have been stolen by bureaucrats and elected officials is NOT a good look no matter how you try to spin it.
DTI Sec. Cristina Roque clarifies the P500 noche buena budget is a simple meal for a small family which includes ham & spaghetti. This is based on the DTI price guide. | via @jekkipascual

This week I write about Sen Imee's big reveal at the INC rally, and why it didn't land the way it was probably intended to.
Senator Imee Marcos stepped onto the Iglesia ni Cristo stage on the second, and ultimately final, day of the rally at Rizal Park and dropped what she clearly thought was going to be the Big One: a 28-minute speech accusing her own brother, President Bongbong Marcos, of being a

The folks who in 2022 told us to ignore BBM's red flags, are now saying they were wrong and he should resign. But despite admitting how catastrophically bad their judgment was then, they're now asking us AGAIN to ignore Sara's red flags now and just support her. Thx but, no.
