This is Davao City the other day, a city purportedly the safest in the Philippines. Criminalities on a daily basis. Ironically, it is the same city where many people have either disappeared or killed. The same city where women were either raped or abused, consistently highest with such incidences. A city where the former mayor and self-confessed abuser of women would say, “dapat mauna ang mayor.” This is the same city where drugs are found or raided by a functioning police organisation independent of the mayor’s control, much to the dismay of the current city mayor. The same city where a Vice President comes from and recently criticised the national government for not using its intelligence fund effectively. This is the same city whose current mayor is a useless, good for nothing uneducated fool and a destabiliser.

Senator Pia Cayetano proudly brands herself as a champion of women and OFWs. Yet when confronted in 2018 about Rodrigo Duterte’s controversial kiss of an OFW— a moment that many women found degrading— she refused to give a straight answer. The OFW’s husband would have watched horrified as the carnal Duterte, a self-confessed abuser of women, stuck his tongue out and into the mouth of of the OFW who just had to close her eyes shut and unable to do anything. That is the Cayetano brand of politics: loud about principles when it is safe, silent when it matters. Pia and Allan preach morality and accountability, yet conveniently look away when their political allies cross the line. Their righteousness is nothing more than selective outrage wrapped in sanctimony.

The best and most brutally scathing warning yet from Senator “Bossing” Erwin Tulfo, directed towards the pathological liar, Allan Peter Cayetano. And you can take that to the bank! “Bibitbitin kita! Kukwelyuhan kita! Papalayasin kita dyan sa floor na yan! Because I am the legitimate Blue Ribbon Chairman!” “I will have you arrested.. Try me, magpa-hearing ka ng Blue Ribbon uli. I don’t care if you were a Senate President or Speaker of the House, I don’t give a fu..! The son-of-a-gun Senator Allan Peter Cayetano has been issued a warning. He either will choose to take a shot at it and risk being collared and dragged out of the Senate hall, or chicken out and become a blogger, a senate blogger.

The short and sweet answers of Madam Claire Castro. The President has really found a gem in you, Undersecretary. It may be premature to say, but let me be the one— the future Senator will do very well. She will give every Duterte-aligned Senators a rough ride once elected into the chamber.

Another day, another scripted production from the Vice President Sara Duterte’s camp. This filmed walk-out of Attorney Poa and the defense team after submitting their pre-trial evidence was not legal advocacy, but was a political theatre. A staged zarzuela designed to generate media mileage and victimhood narratives. The irony is that despite years of image laundering, message control, and carefully managed optics, even fake news peddling, the Vice President remains hounded by allegations involving corruption, confidential funds, and misuse of public resources. Again, her PR team and handlers doing very poorly. Public relations can edit videos. It cannot edit facts. And no amount of choreography can outrun accountability.

Former Senate President Sotto just schooled the new Senate President Cayetano, along with his Senate Majority Leader who led the coup at the Upper Chamber. Sotto laid bare the abuse of discretion and procedures committed by the new leadership in citing contempt charges against the NBI agents tasked to serve the arrest warrant for Senator Bato dela Rosa on charges of crimes against humanity. Sotto cautioned the new Senate majority of such breaches on the use of contempt discretions outside of current protocols having been issued after the NBI agents were seen chasing down the fleeing Senator Bato inside the Senate premises.

Some people are just born liars. And often they come from the same DNA too! Where in the world do you see the supposed witnesses in a Senate investigation becoming the personal bodyguards and protection of the very Senators investigating them? They have made the Senate chamber a scene of spectacle with a bogus Blue Ribbon Committee hearing led by the ex-BRC Chair with the shortest stint, and her sibling charged with obstruction of justice and who is equally the shortest cumulative Senate President since 1953. They were aided by another Senator charged with bribery and plunder. The result was a total waste of people’s money. The work they did was illegal and unconstitutional.

If you want this destabiliser investigated, arrested where warranted by law at the soonest time, and charged with the appropriate offenses, please like and repost. Let us call upon the government and the competent authorities to enforce our accountability mechanisms with urgency, impartiality, and resolve—without fear or favour against those who continuously undermine our institutions, sow division and disorder, and seek to wrest power from a legitimately elected President. Their actions have become increasingly clear. He arrogated unto himself powers and authority that were never his to exercise. He worked in concert with a purported Blue Ribbon Committee that lacked the proper authority of the Senate, in an attempt to bastardise established institutions and lawful processes. They came dangerously close to succeeding once again. We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this serial destabiliser, his network of corrupt political allies, and their 18 delivery syndicates. We likewise condemn the Cayetano group of opportunistic politicians whose overriding objective is the acquisition of power, the preservation of impunity, and the protection of personal and political interests at the expense of institutional integrity and the rule of law.

Rowena Guanzon: a scourge of our modern society. Please help us spread awareness of this disgusting and contemptuous behaviour of one called Rowena Guanzon. The public display of such arrogance and uncivilised conduct should never be normalised in our modern society. This is the typical behaviour of a DDS fanatic normalised by the Duterte family. The tragedy is that the same kind of impertinent behaviour now pervades our society and among our children. This is the contribution of the Duterte family and that of their supporters in a nation fractured by politics and impunity. The vulgarity and impertinence exhibited by Rowena Guanzon in public and inside a privately owned shopping establishment, should be more than enough for the victims and the mall owners/ administrators to sue for public scandal and libel damages. How do we correct a problem called Rowena Guanzon and her primitive behaviour?

It is so elementary. It was perhaps very painful on the part of the Vice President’s handlers and PR team to have to watch and listen to her speeches. Seemingly unprepared or just doesn’t have the base abilities to deliver an effective speech. Despite her reading the texts of her speech, the struggle was apparent. But more importantly, we beg to ask the questions— did she really understand-and listened to the very messages of her talk? Every single word she said, just came right back 180 degree to slap her in the face. She spoke of sovereignty, but no less than her father, Rodrigo Duterte sold the nation to the Chinese. As a Vice President, she never spoke against the many aggressions committed by China’s Navy and paramilitary operatives against our people. Her deafening silence says it all. She spoke of thievery in public office. Yet she conveniently forgets the many corruption unanswered corruption allegations against herself who is now subject to impeachment trial. She forgets the many corruption committed under her father’s rule, and where the flood control funding mess have made its heydays, including the P51 billion largesse of her brother Pulong Duterte. She spoke of illiteracy and substandard education, when under her tenure as Education Secretary, hardly a school classroom was built, the education system was very poorly managed and where she accepted her own incompetence, where she committed misuse and plunder of the education funding, where she was believed to have bribed education officials to keep quiet. These were all evidenced by Congressional investigations. She spoke of stealing a patient’s quality healthcare. Yet, the regime of her father was the source of the biggest healthcare fund scandal and thievery even under the crisis brought by the Covid19 pandemic at the time. She spoke of a worker’s decent living. Yet, her father’s regime closed a TV and radio broadcast station who’s owners he deemed his enemies l, but without supporting the workers and finding alternatives for those who lost their jobs. She spoke of opportunities and hope. Yet her father’s regime and her office have been accused of the most grievous thievery of our public coffers for which they have refused to be accountable for under our processes. To date, she continues to evade scrutiny by our institutions. She spoke of dignity, life and freedom. Yet her father’s regime stole the future and lives of thousands of Filipinos murdered under his instructions in an illegal war on drugs. He is now undergoing trial at the ICC for crimes against humanity. On all of these sins her family and allies have committed against the nation and our people, she said nothing. Vice President Sara Duterte’ said and done nothing. And the same Vice President was to later display, for the world to see, her own gruesome murderous nature with her own threat to conspire to kill and murder a sitting President and his family. Such hypocrisy and vileness. And she dare speak about freedom, dignity and hope on an independence day, to a nation that suffered and continues to suffer under the Duterte family’s bad and gruesome behaviours.

An abusive Senator Cayetano berating the former OSAA Chief General Samonte, even infront of the glaring public at the Senate Hall. This are the shorter and longer videos in the session hall taken at different angles after the attempted serving of arrest warrant against the fugitive of law, Senator Bato dela Rosa on charges of crimes against humanity under the ICC. Bato repeatedly berates the journalists and the public asking legitimate questions. We then see the coup-installed Senate President, Allan Peter Cayetano castigating General Samonte infront of the public. Cayetano then had General Samonte removed and replaced by Retired General Mao Aplasca a day after. An interesting note is that Aplasca and Bato were classmates and close friends during their time at the PMA. Two days after taking over the OSAA, Mao Aplasca showed his abusive nature by accosting and attempting to arrest a law enforcement agent from the NBI when he does not have the right to do so. He fires his long firearm repeatedly 17 times towards the agent and a blue guard detailed at the adjacent GSIS building. Currently, General Aplasca, ex-convict Senator Robin Padilla, and the abusive and lying son-of-a-gun Senate President Allan Peter Cayetano are now Persons of Interest by the NBI for aiding and abetting the escape of a fugitive of the law, Senator Bato dela Rosa.

This flood control funding Senator and his colleagues are enjoying the food paid for by the people. Strangely, they were supposed to be on a lockdown but are indeed enjoying food and the limelight as they went on live broadcasts individually at the height of the Senate lockdown. He cites the law referencing the attempted arrest of the now-fugitive Senator Bato dela Rosa by NBI operatives following declassification of the ICC warrant for his arrest for crimes against humanity. Villanueva cites article 145 of the RPC involving parliamentary immunity. What he conveniently omits is the fact that there is an exception: — The penalty does not apply if the lawmaker has committed crime that is punishable by a penalty higher than prision mayor (6-12 years imprisonment) if found guilty). As for Bato and Duterte, 30 years to life imprisonment is staring at them if found guilty. They twist the law to protect their own kind and support impunity.

“Akala ko ba magaling sa rules…” — Sotto dishes out a dig at the manipulative schemer, Rodante Marcoleta. The Senate Minority Leader invoked for session adjournment, considered as higher precedence. Having realised by the pathological liar that there is no quorum following the strategic walkout of the Minority Senators, he agrees with the Minority Leader’s call. But the not-so-novice soon-to-be-recipient of plunder and indirect bribery charges, carries on with his usual intransigent behaviour. He questions the definition of quorum in the usual Senate deliberations at the hall. He invites kerfuffle scenes each time. The grumpy pug receives a strong rebuke from the Minority Leader Sotto. What is striking though is the Pro-Tempore Loren Legarda’s refusal to side with who was right despite knowing the rules of adjournment call taking precedence over other motions and say: “I’m not taking sides.” What a load of bull!

The pathological liar Allan Peter Cayetano should be hanged, not in the physical sense, but politically in order to prevent him from ever coming back to relevancy. Cayetano’s brief tenure as Senate President has become a case study in how not to lead an institution. In less than a month, the Senate burned through hundreds of millions in taxpayers’ money while producing little of legislative consequence. The numbers speak for themselves: sessions held, press conferences staged, Facebook Lives streamed—yet no bills passed. Instead, the public witnessed chaos, political maneuvering, a constitutional crisis, the fallout from the Bato dela Rosa escape from the law, a Senate shooting scandal, obstruction of justice, and repeated attempts to turn the Upper Chamber into a battleground for factional interests. A Senate President is supposed to safeguard the institution, uphold its constitutional mandate, and ensure that the people’s business is conducted. Cayetano’s leadership became synonymous with disruption, destabilisation, grandstanding, and political calculation. The Senate was not strengthened under his watch. It was dragged into controversy after controversy. History will not measure his presidency by the number of livestreams, soundbites, or press conferences. It will measure it by results. Taxpayers have every right to ask what exactly they received in return for the enormous public expense. The tragedy is not merely that his term was the shortest. It is that so much institutional damage, division, and distraction were packed into such a short period. He made the Senate a playground for personal ambitions, venue for repayment of political debts, and the protection of impunity. Allan Peter Cayetano should be hanged!

Senator Marcoleta has been found out manipulating the direction of the flood control project scandal probe by having the Discayas be put under the Witness Protection Program of the DOJ early and without correct procedures in order to steer away the spotlight from the clear involvement of the Duterte administration and some Senators he is protecting. Bear in mind, it is during the time of Duterte where the Discayas and their companies were most active and was in fact the top Contractors between 2016-2022. Marcoleta is a novice Senator and is already showing craftsmanship in manipulation and misdirection to protect his political patrons. You are a stinking corrupt politician, Senator Marcoleta!

Another proof positive that Mao Aplasca and his men were the aggressors. The NBI personnel he tried to accost, disarm, and arrest was on a defensive posture, and in fact even suggested to retreat. Aplasca still fired his gun, not once but nearly over two dozen times. It has now become clear from interviews, that he does not know the rules of engagement, even when he was once the Director for Operations of the PNP. And now a mere Chief Security Guard of the Senate attempting to arrest and disarm a legitimate government law enforcement authority. Out of this world! But then Aplasca got his authority directly from the lying son-of-a-gun Senate President, Allan Peter Cayetano! Everything that has happened that brought the Senate on its lowest levels, revolves around this man— Allan Peter Cayetano, his greed for power and in protecting his allies.

No religious organisation, political party, or powerful institution—regardless of its influence or following— has the right to dictate how the Republic administers justice. The rule of law belongs to the Filipino people, not to any organisation that believes its political weight entitles it to special treatment. By publicly rallying behind Senator Rodante Marcoleta while the Ombudsman and the Department of Justice move towards filing plunder and indirect bribery charges, the Iglesia ni Cristo has chosen institutional loyalty over accountability. Instead of affirming that the law should take its course, it has created the unmistakable impression that one of its own should be shielded from the full force of the justice system. This is not an isolated matter. Senator Marcoleta has repeatedly attracted controversy—from his conduct during the Senate’s flood control inquiry, where he was accused of diverting scrutiny from key personalities and relying on discredited testimony, to serious questions surrounding undeclared campaign funds and other matters now under official investigation and an impending indictment for plunder and bribery. These allegations deserve to be tested in court, free from political or religious pressure. That is why the INC’s intervention is so troubling. A religious institution that deploys its influence to defend a politician facing grave criminal allegations, rather than insisting that justice be allowed to run its course, abandons the moral ground from which it claims to speak. It ceases to be merely a religious body and becomes a political actor seeking to influence the administration of justice. Where was this moral outrage when thousands of Filipinos died during the previous administration’s bloody drug war? Where was the INC when the Vice President was accused, replete with evidences, of corruption in office and threatened the life of a sitting President and his family? Where was this uncompromising defence of righteousness when corruption, abuse of power, and the erosion of democratic institutions demanded moral courage? Silence then, followed by political mobilisation now, is not righteousness. It is selective morality. If the INC truly believes in justice, it should welcome an independent investigation, not to resist it. Senator Marcoleta deserves due process—not immunity. He deserves a fair trial— not institutional protection. No one is above the law. Not a senator. Not a religious organisation. Not anyone who believes influence is a substitute for accountability. The rule of law must prevail over political pressure, religious influence, and institutional loyalty—every single time. Should the INC be allowed to dictate upon the government under threat of weaponising its people if their capricious objectives are not met? The INC was gifted with free expression and was put under no obligations to pay taxes for the exercise of its purpose. But the same INC is now threatening to rupture the nation into another decade of chaos and destruction. Let the INC and its leaders be warned— you have the right to choose what you want to do, but you have no right to choose the consequences of those actions.

Sara has landed How was the holiday in Europe, Madam? Great to see you visiting your affected constituents. Beautiful as she is, the Vice President seems to be struggling to bring a cohesive and coherent narrative. Is it because of the language used? Shouldn’t she need to learn better on both national and international languages in preparation for the debates and foreign policy discussions for when she finally throw in her hat for the 2028 Presidential Elections? Unless of course the impeachment process and outcomes goes the opposite way of her desired outcome. I have to say, the Vice President’s handlers and PR Team are doing a really bad job.

Senator Loren Legarda shedding crocodile tears as she watched an equally hypocrite Senator Pia Cayetano melts down at the Senate. On the other hand, Journalist Lynda Jumilla-Abalos issues a scathing attack towards the same Loren Legarda who was once a Journalist and Media Practitioner herself. “A political prostitute” who once was called the same by the same Senate Majority group she is with now. What a turning point in one’s career, now essentially left with no future in politics.
