'HINDI NAMING GINUSTO KAILANMAN NA MAPASAMA SA GANITONG SISTEMA'? WATCH: Contractors Pacifico "Curlee" Discaya and Cezarah "Sarah" Discaya, owners of St. Gerrard Construction, filed a sworn affidavit claiming that lawmakers and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials demanded 10–25% kickbacks from government projects.

'NAKAKABAHALA NA ANG PAULIT-ULIT NA ANTALA SA PROSESO NG IMPEACHMENT TRIAL' WATCH: Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros on Monday, June 2, called the repeated delays in Vice President Sara Duterte's impeachment trial "alarming," warning that further postponements would violate the Constitution. "Any further delays in commencing the trial against Vice President Duterte would violate the Constitution, which clearly states that the Senate 'shall forthwith proceed' with an impeachment trial. Hindi 'kapag ready na,' hindi 'kapag convenient,' kundi 'shall forthwith proceed,'" she said, after the trial was rescheduled from June 2 to June 11. While backing urgent legislation like the Anti-POGO bill, Hontiveros stressed that the Senate must fulfill its constitutional duty to convene as an impeachment court without delay. "We owe it to the Filipino people to convene as an impeachment court and begin the proceedings at the soonest possible time," she said. 🎥 OSRH

'SINO BA TALAGA SI MARY GRACE PIATTOS?' Vice President Sara Duterte's impersonator, Inday Tasha, recently shared a humorous video that poked fun at the name "Mary Grace Piattos," which appeared in suspicious liquidation documents linked to the alleged misuse of government funds by the Office of the Vice President (OVP). "Sino ba talaga si Mary Grace Piattos? HAHAHAHAHA sana makuha ko yung reward!😂," the video's caption read, as Inday Tasha jokingly questioned the identity of the person involved in the controversy. A P1-million reward has been offered by some House leaders for any information about this mysterious "Mary Grace Piattos." Meanwhile, the House Blue Ribbon Committee has approved a motion to enlist the help of government agencies to verify the identity of Piattos and others who may have received confidential funds from Vice President Sara Duterte. The committee, led by Manila 3rd District Rep. Joel Chua, has called on the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to assist in the investigation. 🎥 Inday Tasha (@indaytasha23)/TikTok

She acknowledged the tireless efforts of Pangilinan and Aquino, who stood by her side in their shared mission to fight for truth and justice. "Matagal-tagal na rin po tayong magkakasama. Sa isang dekada kong paninilbihan bilang lingkod bayan, nariyan po kayo, tumindig sa tabi ko, at sinamahan akong iangat ang kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan. Simula noong tayo'y naging Congresswoman ng Camarines Sur, nung naging Vice President, at nang tumakbo bilang Presidente noong 2022, hindi ninyo ako iniwanan," Robredo said. Robredo recalled the early days of their political journey, when the trio faced numerous challenges and stood firm in their resolve. She commended Pangilinan and Aquino for their continued dedication to good governance, emphasizing the need for their return to the Senate in 2025. "Kasama ko sila noong ako'y nagsimula. Noong panahong tayo lang ang lumalaban sa mali. Noong tila ang mga bagyo ng buhay ay hindi matapos-tapos," she added. Robredo reiterated the importance of electing leaders who will remain steadfast in their commitment to the people, noting that with additional allies in the Senate, challenges could be overcome more effectively. "Kaya sa 2025, muli kong hinihingi ang inyong tulong. Isa na namang napakalaking hamon ang ating haharapin. At malalagpasan natin ito kung madadagdagan tayo ng mga kakampi, na kakampi sa mga Pilipino. Ating tulungan sina Kiko at Bam, ibalik natin sila sa Senado.," she concluded. Robredo endorsed Pangilinan and Aquino as "the light in the darkness" for 2025, rallying support for their return to the Senate. "Ako si Leni Robredo, ang aking mga Senador sa 2025, ang ating liwanag sa dilim, Sen. Kiko Pangilinan at Sen. Bam Aquino. Tara, ipanalo na natin sila!"

KOKO, RISA VOTED 'NO' TO 2025 BUDGET BICAM REPORT Then-Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel and then-Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros voted against the ratification of the Bicameral Conference Committee Report on the 2025 General Appropriations Bill (House Bill 10800) on December 16, 2024. In explaining her vote, Hontiveros warned that the bicam version of the budget "crippled essential services while expanding unprogrammed funds." She pointed out that the state subsidy for PhilHealth was reduced to zero despite the Universal Health Care Act and the Sin Tax Reform Act mandating such funding. The senator also flagged ₱37.59 billion in cuts from the Department of Health, a ₱50-billion reduction in the 4Ps program, and major slashes in education budgets—₱15.17 billion from the Department of Education and ₱11.77 billion from the Commission on Higher Education. She further raised concerns over the unexplained delisting of 41 foreign-assisted projects and the rejection of funding for Anti-Red Tape Authority regional offices. Hontiveros criticized the bicam for raising unprogrammed appropriations to ₱531.6 billion while slashing life-saving and future-oriented programs, calling the move "misplaced prioritization at the expense of Filipinos' health, welfare, and education."

She lamented the widespread influence of social media in spreading misinformation, particularly against political opponents.

Ganun po kasi parang brainwashing, 'di ho ba?" she said. Emphasizing Pangilinan's integrity, Cuneta assured voters that in their nearly 30 years of marriage, he has been a devoted husband and father who always keeps his promises. "In our almost 30 years of marriage, si Kiko po ay walang ginawa kundi maging mabuting asawa at ama. Pag siya po ay nangako, talaga pong harangan mo ng sibat kailangan pong tuparin niya," she said. She reiterated his commitment to revitalizing the country's agriculture sector and lowering food prices, saying, "Isusugod ni Kiko ang agrikultura sa Pilipinas at gagawin ang lahat para pababain muli ang presyo ng pagkain. Promise po." Cuneta ended her message with a strong endorsement, urging voters to support Pangilinan. "Ito po, si Kiko Pangilina na po. Number one sa akin, number 51 po sa balota," she said.

KIKO UKOL SA HALALAN 2022: 'ISANG KARANGALAN ANG IPAGLABAN ANG LABANG IYON' PANOORIN: Ibinahagi ni dating Senador Kiko Pangilinan ang kanyang naging karanasan sa halalan noong 2022 at ipinaliwanag ang kanyang desisyong tumakbo bilang bise presidente. Sa panayam sa Toni Talks noong Lunes, Pebrero 24, inalala ni Pangilinan na naghahanda siya noon para sa muling pagtakbo sa Senado at nasa ika-walong puwesto na sa mga survey. Gayunman, noong Oktubre 2021, personal siyang hiniling ni dating Bise Presidente Leni Robredo na maging kanyang running mate. Aminado siyang hindi naging madali ang kampanya at may kanya-kanyang paniniwala ang mga tao, ngunit binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng pakikipag-usap at pakikinig sa lahat, anuman ang kanilang pinaniniwalaan sa pulitika. Ibinahagi rin niya kung paano siya sinuportahan ng kanyang asawang si Megastar Sharon Cuneta, kahit na mahirap ang naging desisyon para sa kanilang pamilya.
