Salute to all of the media friends at the Senate as of now. Please please keep yourselves safe 🙏🏻. Thank you for all your hardworks and service for the people.

Once again with my coverage partner, Kai Manuba! Covering May 1, 2026, in celebration of Labor Day. Here are some of the photos I took.

Do everything with passion, not out of obligation. Field coverage has always been a part of my life, from photos and mobilizations to interviews and impactful stories that drive community and national change.

Giving an emphasis with the discussions, there is a need to pass the ongoing several legislative measures and bills to regulate and penalize foreign interference. FIMI is not limited to the online space but more on the physical.

Discussions were made by experts in investigating FIMI such as Ms. Janina Santos, Ms. Regine Cabato from the PCIJ giving the audience details of the recent FIMI related attacks together with PCG Spokesperson Jay Tarriela.

@PhilippinesMAD was once again invited to take part on the forum on Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) organized by the CirroLytix Research Services and University of Asia and the Pacific Law School.

Thank you for organizing such seminars, journos! Events like these once again help me realign and strengthen my journalistic skills. Link to full post: facebook.com/share/p/18nUDf…

The 4th-year journalism students of Cavite State University Main Campus held their 25th Year Journalism Seminar with the theme, "Silver Lining: Championing Truths, Breaking Traditions, and Pressing On", on April 30 in Indang, Cavite.

Almost every month there are a lot of issues in the Philippines. What are the updates now on the Alice Guo case and POGO hubs, flood control scandals, any plans for the political dynasty bill?

Recently into discussions about Foregin Informations and Manipulations Interference (FIMI). Starting from the time we had our project with MAD regarding investigations for the Promotion of Sara Duterte as the next President of PH for year 2028. But now, more into China's FIMI 😀

Examining FIMI and its effects on democratic resilience highlighting efforts to counter disinformation, promote media integrity, and protect electoral processes through transparency, education, and regional cooperation. facebook.com/share/v/14cmMb…

Present at the launch were Fr. Flaviano Villanueva, Senator Risa Hontiveros, Senator Bam Aquino, forensic pathologist Dr. Raquel Fortun, and some parents of the victims.

Glad to represent Movement Against Disinformation (MAD) for the Paghilom-Lakbay Museo at the Senate building today. This mobile museum serves as a remembrance for those victims by the Extrajudicial Killings (EJK) during the Duterte administration.

Happy Holidays @PhilippinesMAD !

Always grateful to the senior leadership of the Movement Against Disinformation ⚖️ “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” Steve Jobs

As of now, since ito ay group of lawyers, somehow nabababad tayo into legal aspects and at the same time fulfilling my duty as part of the media. Thank you so much Atty. Grace Salonga for the opportunity of volunteering to MAD.

I must say, I am very much thankful to Movement Against Disinformation (MAD), an organization composed of lawyers, journalists and other professions that fight against disinformation. Para sa mga di nakakaalam, my first choice to take up in college sana is Politican Science.
