Justice Caguioa’s concurring opinion on Bato’s case is superbly written. This case will define the Court. For too long, power has found ways to outrun justice. It has hidden in office, in influence, in violence, and now, in the language of due process. That ends here. The Court cannot become a refuge for impunity. It has always been, and must always remain, where justice refuses to yield.

Sabi ng Senate Website sa function ng Blue Ribbon Committee... Tapos ang mga na-assign doon ang dapat imbestigahan? Paki-kumusta na lang!

The more they cut trees, the more they making the place into a hellscape

Nasaan ka na Polong??? Ano nangyari sa 51Billion Flood Control budget mo???

Save our trees! #DENR #SanMiguelCorporation

‘ANG SENADO AY HINDI DAPAT MAGING KANLUNGAN NG ABSENTEEISM AT PAGTATAKIPAN’ READ: Mayors Vico Sotto, Joy Belmonte, and Benjamin Magalong, along with other local chief executives of the group Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), issued a statement on the recent developments in the Senate involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa. “Hindi dapat pinoprotektahan ang isang halal na opisyal na umiiwas sa kanyang mga responsibilidad habang patuloy na tumatanggap ng sahod mula sa taumbayan,” it reads. | 📸: M4GG/Facebook

MORE PARKS AND GREEN SPACES!

Revisiting beautiful tree-lined Roxas Boulevard during the 60s and 70s. Today, rows of trees are being killed along the iconic boulevard to build an expressway. All in the name of GREED.

Grabe no? Yung DENR na supposedly pro-environment mas pumapabor pa sa private companies para sa sumisira sa kalikasan. Kawawa talaga Pilipinas!

🚨 JUST IN: Bato Dela Rosa’s 118 firearms are worth more than ₱20 MILLION PESOS but in his 2025 SALN, he only declared as asset firearms worth ₱2.2 Million Pesos. Armed and dangerous na nga, unethical and liar pa? Kasuhan ko kaya ng ethics case si Bato? 🤔 👇 #EthicsCase

ang init ngayong gabi ha tangina kasi ng DENR at SMC

went out for a walk and i realized na ang daming mawawala sa mga manilenyo. 600+ OLD TREES kapalit ng SALEX. Manila Bay sunsets kapalit ng reclamation.

Metro Manila’s rapidly disappearing tree cover is raising alarm among environmental advocates as infrastructure projects continue to remove some of the capital’s remaining green spaces despite worsening floods, rising temperatures, and dangerous air pollution levels. A recent tree cover map released by ScienceKonek showed that much of Metro Manila now has little to almost no remaining vegetation, with only scattered green patches left across the heavily urbanized region. The densest concentration of trees remains in the northeastern portion of the capital, while most cities appear overwhelmingly built-up and barren. The issue gained renewed attention after 225 trees were cut down for the construction of the nearly four-kilometer Southern Access Link Expressway Project (SALEX). According to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – National Capital Region (DENR-NCR), one of the trees removed was a narra tree believed to be more than 50 years old. Environmental experts have repeatedly warned that the continuous loss of vegetation in Metro Manila directly contributes to severe flooding. DENR Undersecretary Carlos Primo David previously said that reduced vegetation cover caused by urbanization has made Metro Manila more prone to floods because rainwater can no longer be absorbed properly by the ground. Data cited by the DENR Forest Management Bureau showed that Metro Manila now has only around 6 percent tree cover remaining, equivalent to about 3,565 hectares across the entire region. Between 2001 and 2022 alone, the metropolis lost around 89 hectares of tree cover. The loss of trees also worsens the urban heat crisis and air pollution in the capital. Trees naturally cool cities, absorb carbon emissions, and filter harmful pollutants produced by vehicles and industries. Without adequate green spaces, Metro Manila experiences stronger heat buildup commonly associated with the urban heat island effect, where concrete and asphalt trap heat for longer periods. DENR itself has acknowledged the environmental dangers tied to shrinking forest and vegetation cover. In recent flood mitigation plans, the agency emphasized the need to expand green spaces, restore waterways, and increase forest cover to reduce flooding risks in Metro Manila and nearby provinces. The cutting of mature trees for major infrastructure projects has also sparked criticism online, with many residents questioning whether rapid urban development is being prioritized at the expense of environmental sustainability. Social media users expressed concern over the loss of decades-old trees along Quirino Avenue, warning that Metro Manila is becoming increasingly unlivable due to extreme heat and worsening floods.

✨ PHILIPPINE GOLD ✨ Sometimes, the country’s greatest treasures grow quietly in the forest. In Masungi, a mature narra supports an entire web of life around it. Its roots help stabilize soil, its canopy cools the forest floor, and its branches provide shelter for birds, insects, and other wildlife. In landscapes rich in biodiversity, these quiet giants help keep ecosystems alive and connected — reminding us that some of the country’s greatest treasures are already growing around us. Sign the petition to relocate Vena Group’s wind project away from Masungi Georeserve and the Sierra Madre. 📌 For organizations: bit.ly/HOGV_Org 📌 For individuals: bit.ly/HOGV_Ind 📸 Renz Perez/MGFI

It's sad that private companies are the ones giving us green spaces (e.g. Ayala Triangle Gardens) and transport hubs (e.g. One Ayala) when this should have been taken care of by our taxes🫩

FUCK YOUR DATA CENTERS

Ang yaman ng SMC, di man lang makapag invest ng machine na ginagamit sa pagtransfer ng mga matured trees . 8300+ trees din ang matured trees na karamihan ay narra at acacia ang pinutol ng SMC sa SLEX. #SaveTheTrees
