𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁, 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗮 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗮 𝗞𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗮! 🌈🏥 Simple ngunit napaka-makahulugan ng layunin ng Right to Care Act: Tiyakin na walang maiiwan sa pangangalagang pangkalusugan at mahahalagang desisyong medikal para sa ating mahal sa buhay. Kinikilala nito ang iba't ibang sitwasyon at relasyon ng mga Pilipino na matagal nang bahagi ng lipunan pero madalas pa ring nakararanas ng diskriminasyon at napagkakaitan ng karapatan sa mga umiiral na sistema at polisiya – kabilang ang solo parents, non-traditional families, at same-sex couples. Wala nang dapat pagdebatehan pa: when the time comes and we need someone to decide for our health in moments when we are incapable, we entrust that decision to our partner, regardless of our marital status. Ang pagkakapantay-pantay at respeto sa set up ng pamilya at sa kasarian ay hindi lang dapat ipinagdiriwang ngayong Pride Month. Dapat itong maramdaman at isabuhay bawat araw, lalo na para sa kalusugan ng ating mga mahal sa buhay. Sama-sama po nating itaguyod ang pagsasabatas ng Right to Care Act para sa tunay na pagkakapantay-pantay at para sa de-kalidad at mapagmalasakit na serbisyong pangkalusugan para sa lahat. Happy Pride Month! 🌈✨ The Right to Care Card

Get your facts straight, SP Alan! Magkaiba kami ni Sen. Bato dela Rosa. Kusa akong humarap at nagpaaresto sa mga arresting authorities noong Feb. 24, 2017. Hindi ako nagtago, hindi ako nagpakaduwag. Hindi ako nagpakupkop, at lalong hindi ako nagdulot ng gulo sa Senado. Huwag kayong magpakalat ng fake news para lang pagtakpan at protektahan ang duwag at pugante!

First in Philippine history for a Vice President to be impeached twice. Patunay si VP Sara na hindi lahat ng naiiwang legasiya sa kasaysayan ay karangalan. Sa pag-apruba ng Kamara sa Justice Committee Report at Articles of Impeachment, matagumpay nating pinausad ang proseso ng pananagutan. The momentum for truth, the thrust for accountability is UNSTOPPABLE. Ang mahalagang balita ngayon ay hindi ang pagpapalit ng liderato sa Senado, kundi ang pagboto ng 257 na House Members pabor sa pagpapatuloy ng impeachment. Ang hamon at panawagan ngayon sa buong Senado, hindi lang sa bagong liderato, gampanan nila ang kanilang mandato at tungkulin sa Konstitusyon. In this impeachment, it is not only VP Sara who would be on trial; kasama sa huhusgahan ng taumbayan ang mga Senador. People are watching. Mulat at tayang-taya na ang taumbayan. Hindi sila magwawalang kibo lamang. Tuloy na tuloy na tuloy ang laban!

Hindi na tayo nagulat sa announcement ni VP Sara. Karapatan naman nyang magdeklara kahit napakaaga. Tulad ng karapatan din ng mga Pilipino na singilin sya sa mga seryosong alegasyon ng katiwalian at paglabag sa batas—na panawagan na po natin noong 2024 pa. Mas magandang harapin at sagutin muna niya ang mga ito bago ang ambisyon na maging Pangulo ng Pilipinas.

We have received alarming reports of deployment of heavily armed men and restriction of community access in SLS, Kaputian, Island Garden City of Samal (IGACOS), Davao del Norte. In a video posted by Liwayway Magaway on Facebook, armed men are reportedly intimidating Agrarian Reform Beneficiaries (ARBs) to dismantle their homes and vacate lands legally awarded to them under the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). According to reports, residents attempting to enter or leave the area are allegedly being blocked by these armed personnel, causing fear and intimidation in the community. Ang mas nakababahala pa, pati umano access sa inuming tubig, pagkukunan ng pagkain, at kabuhayan ng mga residente ay hinaharang din. Based on our information, these armed men claim that they are acting under a legal order. Pero wala naman daw maipakita na court order. Sino ang nag-utos sa kanila para palibutan ang komunidad? Bakit sila armado? Dapat agarang matingnan at aksyunan ito ng mga kinauukulan, partikular na ng lokal na gobyerno, ng Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Commission on Human Rights (CHR), at siguruhin ang kaligtasan ng mga residente. In light of this, I co-authored House Resolution No. 502 filed by Kamanggagawa Partylist Rep. Elijah San Fernando, seeking to conduct an investigation into this land issue and human rights concern in IGACOS, Davao del Norte. Sa usaping ito, hindi dapat bigyang puwang ang panggigipit at karahasan — tungkulin ng gobyerno na tiyaking hindi nilalapastangan ang karapatan at dignidad ng mga benepisyaryo ng lupang agraryo. 📸

𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇! 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒𝐒! Sara Duterte's repeated non-appearance before Congress shows grave insult and disrespect to this institution. If she cannot respect us—the Members of the House of Representatives—at least respect the House of Representatives as an institution, at least respect the Constitution. The whole budget process is something that is being directed and recognized by the Constitution itself. So disrespecting the budgetary process of this Body is a clear case of disrespect of our Constitution. Who is she to continuously disrespect or show disrespect to this Body as an institution and to the Constitution. If she can afford to be showing herself up to the Senate, including being there, and applauding the former Senate President in his privilege speech, which is definitely not part of her mandate as a Vice President, why can't she not spare a few moments of her time attending to her official function as Vice President to defend the budget of her office. Enough is enough! Enough of her brattiness! So, I rise today to manifest my extreme displeasure about the behavior of VP Sara, and in due time, I will move for the decrease in the budget of the Office of the Vice President. I actually intended initially to move for zero budget or for the disapproval of the budget of the Office of the Vice President in light of those very questionable actuations of the part of the Vice President. But after some mulling, after some reflections, and out of courtesy also and consideration to the personnel and staff of the Office of the Vice President, I’m just now thinking of moving for the decrease, let’s say, for the retention of the MOOE and personnel services budget and get rid of the operational budget of the Office of the Vice President. I will move for that, at the proper time, during the period of amendment. And I hope that my colleagues will join me in that amendment. Wag niyang bastusin ang ating Konstitusyon!

Trolling No More! May isang former DDS o Duterte Supporter na lumapit sa akin at humingi ng tawad sa mga ginawa niyang trolling at bashing sa akin online. Alam niyo, this act of humility serves as a reminder that even in times of profound division, there is always hope for change. I know that one day, even my current online detractors will see things differently. I hold no ill will toward them. GINAGAWA KO LANG ANG ALAM KONG TAMA and I will not waver in standing for our nation and the principles of justice. Kami sa ML Partylist, tuloy ang laban namin laban sa trolling. Paalala ko sa lahat, ang social media ay hindi para magpalala ng hidwaan, kundi para magsilbing daan sa mas malalim na pag-uusap. #6MLPartylist #ManayLeila #LeilabanAngLeilayan #LeilaDeLima #TapatsaPilipino #TaraML

Alan Peter Cayetano clearly has his own version of what is happening in the WPS when he thinks the PCG intentionally seeks out confrontation with China, but not Malaysia and Vietnam. Of course, this is the Chinese narrative which Cayetano chooses to spout. Tapos magagalit siya 'pag tinawag na Tsinador? Cayetano is not ignorant of the facts. He knows the truth. Doesn’t that define him as plainly Tsinador? 📸 Senate of the Philippines

Ang pinakamalakas na ebidensya sa impeachment proceeding laban kay VP Sara ay si VP Sara mismo. Nakita natin ang matinding pagbabanta nya sa Pangulo, sa First Lady, at sa former Speaker of the House. Ayon sa Konstitusyon, ang Bise Presidente ang papalit kapag nawala o maging incapacitated ang Pangulo. Sa pagbabanta nya sa buhay ng Presidente, hindi ba’t malinaw na may conflict? These threats are real, credible, and deeply alarming. They constitute inciting to sedition. Napakabigat at seryosong bagay ito na hindi pwedeng balewalain. If we fail to act on this, we do not just ignore a threat; we weaken the very foundations of accountability in this country. Sa pagbabantang ito, higit pa sa probable cause ang ating nakita sa impeachment proceeding, kaya nararapat lamang na umusad na ang prosesong ito.

No amount of fake news and disinformation can stop us from pursuing truth, justice, and accountability. ⚖️✊🏻 Matagal na po tayong pinupuntirya ng mga fake news, ng mga paninira at kasinungalingan. Paraan nila yan para patahimikin ako, dungisan ang aking kredibilidad, at tibagin ang aking paninindigan. Pero hindi ako nagpatinag. Hindi ako lumihis sa aking prinsipyo at mga ipinaglalaban. Sa impeachment trial ni VP Sara Duterte, inaasahan nating dadagsa pa ang mga bayarang trolls; titindi pa ang mga paninira at kasinungalingan laban sa atin. Pero hindi tayo papaapekto dyan. We see our duty, embedded in the Constitution, as something bigger than all of us. Malinaw ang direksyon na ating tinatahak: Ang landas para manaig ang katotohanan, hustisya at pananagutan.
