This Escudero-led Senate has not only disrespected its co-equal legislative chamber, the House of Representatives; it has also shown disregard for the Constitution and, by extension, the sovereign will of the People. Remand niyo mukha niyo.

It’s good that he listens, but atras-abante policies will never inspire confidence. Optics and read-out speeches can only get you so far. That’s what he gets when he only rode on his overly exaggerated propaganda in 2022 to win. Watch him when he goes adlib and you’ll get it.

Israel killed 75 people today—human beings with names, stories, and families. Our people aren’t numbers. Our people are precious; their lives matter, and their deaths aren’t trivial footnotes deemed not newsworthy. Shame on the west for allowing this daily slaughter to continue.

One of the most beautiful Filipino words I know is the one I learned from Celine Murillo-- the word "Saribuhay" (Biodiversity). You could just sense the depth of meaning of this word.

Optics really. He appeared weak, indecisive, and overcompensating in that Anthony Taberna interview. Plus man, his imposter syndrome is eating up what’s left of his confidence. Can’t blame him. The result of the midterm elections isn’t exactly the way the admin wanted.

I don’t know how you interpreted "Sa gobyernong tapat, kasama ang lahat” from the President but I think it’s an olive branch to the incoming opposition senators, and a preparation for a showdown in the senate a.k.a. impeachment court.

There are many pleasant surprises in addition to KikoBam. Laglag si Cynthia Villar. Nilampaso ni Vico kalaban niya. Number one ang Akbayan. There’s also this big surprise in Marikina. Never thought we Marikeños were all thinking the same way. Maan had fewer posters.

Nothing stings more than being blamed for someone else’s mistake. Professional connections become casualties because of someone else’s utter incompetence. I’d be dishonest if I say I’m unaffected. To save myself some dignity, I won’t put up a defense. Letting it go but let me grieve.

Today, some colleagues and I got the privilege to visit William Henry Scott’s final resting place at The Church of St. Mary the Virgin Cemetery in Sagada, Mt. Province, Philippines. Awestruck by the simplicity of Scott’s tombstone, reflecting his humility as a man of faith and a passionate scholar.
