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!

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

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!

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.

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

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. 📸

I was thrown into the PNP Custodial Center on baseless charges to send a message: oppose Duterte, and this could happen to you. I faced every case head-on because I have nothing to hide—walang dahilan para umiwas kung alam mong inosente ka. ANG MAY KASALANAN LANG YUNG MAY DAPAT KATAKUTAN. Ang laban para sa hustisya at reporma ay hindi pa tapos. Those who abused their power will have their day of reckoning. #6MLPartylist #TaraML

I was deprived of my honor, and they tried to destroy my reputation. Kalungkutan at pag-asa. Kalungkutan sapagkat sana ay hindi na natin hinintay ang libu-libong namatay noon pa. Gayunpaman, nagagalak ako dahil unti-unti nang lumalabas ang mga katotohanan. Nawa’y dumami pa ang mga lumantad upang ipahayag ang tunay na layunin ng Project Double Barrel. Ang dating Pangulo ng Republika ng Pilipinas ay ilang taon nang nakakaiwas sa hustisya at pananagutan para sa libu-libong biktima ng mga pinatay sa ngalan ng war on drugs. Matagal na tayong walang nakikitang pananagutan sa kanya, at patuloy ang ating laban para sa katarungan. #LeilaDeLima #MLPartylist #LabanLeila #TaraML
