IKULONG NA YAN! KURAKOT

𝗡𝗢 𝗦𝗔𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗖𝗢𝗪𝗦! 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗔𝗟𝗟! 𝗡𝗢 𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗨𝗣! 𝗡𝗢 𝗝𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗔! The widening corruption scandal has drawn in an increasing number of high-profile officials. In the latest Senate Blue Ribbon Committee hearing, three more senators and several House members were implicated in ghost and other anomalous infrastructure projects. Outside of the hearing, the corruption scandal has now reached the doorstep of President Bongbong Marcos Jr., following accusations from former Congressman Zaldy Co implicating Malacañang itself. These developments mark a complex and even dangerous phase in the people’s fight against corruption. We urge the public to remain vigilant as we confront an increasingly volatile political landscape. We call on the Ombudsman to immediately file the necessary cases against all implicated senators and House members, whether aligned with the Dutertes or the administration, as well as against Vice President Sara Duterte for the gross misuse of her multimillion-peso confidential funds. President Marcos Jr. must also substantially address the allegations raised by his former ally. Failure to do so will only invite the people’s ire. For his part, Zaldy Co must return, face due process, and substantiate his claims, lest the public suspect that he seeks only to save his skin or advance the Dutertes’ and China’s efforts to grab power. At the same time, we call on the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to remain professional and loyal to the people and the Constitution. We echo the statement of Cardinal Virgilio Pablo David that categorically rejects any form of right-wing military intervention, which would only enable the Dutertes’ return to the highest seat of power, favor China’s interests, shield plunderers from accountability, or open the door to a military junta incompatible with democratic principles. Moving forward, Akbayan Party will pursue this struggle with the people, following the evidence wherever it leads us. We will remain guided by truth, justice, accountability, and, above all, democracy. We will not allow this fight to be hijacked, derailed, or used as a shield by corrupt and undemocratic forces. #AkbayanPartylist

@PLDT_Cares Sent DM -- no Cignal cable

The people who are asking for respect from Vice Ganda are the same people who laughed when Duterte cursed the late Pope and disrespected women like Robredo and De Lima. So no, you’re not the well-mannered people that you always claim to be. Manahimik kayo

'HISTORY WILL JUDGE ALL OF US' Sen. Risa Hontiveros tells her fellow lawmakers that today's decision on whether or not to abide by the Supreme Court's impeachment ruling is "history" in the making. "When history comes to remember, let's hope we stood where it mattered," she continues. More #ImpeachmentWatch coverage on bnc.ph! WATCH LIVE HERE: youtube.com/live/qiALx8NnG…

Senators have been avoiding the impeachment like the plague. The SC just provided them with the best excuse to do so. Seems like today will be a lost battle. But the war is not lost.

Just to be clear: I think the greatest threat to our democracy is the return of the Dutertes in 2028. Sara is violent, has no respect for the rule of law, is brazenly corrupt, apart from being incompetent. Hubris lang ang meron sya, and our institutions may not be strong enough to handle another one of her kind. We should stop that from happening at all costs.

READ!!! READ!!! READ!!! 🚨🚨 THE ULTIMATE CALL FROM FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE REYNATO PUNO OFFICIAL STATEMENT PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION ASSOCIATION (PhilConsa) On the Supreme Court Ruling in G.R. No. 278353 “Sara Z. Duterte vs. House of Representatives, et al.” July 30, 2025 The Philippine Constitution Association (PhilConsa) expresses its serious concern over the Supreme Court’s ruling in G.R. No. 278353, which nullified the impeachment proceedings initiated by the House of Representatives against Vice President Sara Z. Duterte. With due respect to the Honorable Court, we believe this decision overreaches constitutional boundaries, disrupts the separation of powers, and weakens Congress’ exclusive authority to hold impeachable officers accountable. ⸻ The Facts Cannot Be Ignored Between December 2024 and February 2025, four impeachment complaints were filed against Vice President Duterte. The first three complaints, though officially docketed, were never pursued. They were neither found sufficient in form and substance nor referred for committee hearings. On February 5, 2025, a fourth complaint—this time endorsed by 215 members of the House, more than the required one-third—was transmitted as Articles of Impeachment to the Senate, in full accordance with the Constitution. Yet on July 25, 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that the fourth complaint was barred under the one-year rule in Article XI, Section 3(5) of the Constitution, on the theory that the filing of earlier complaints—even if not acted upon—already “initiated” the impeachment process. ⸻ This Interpretation Is Constitutionally Flawed PhilConsa respectfully but firmly disagrees with this interpretation. The one-year bar rule was designed to prevent harassment through repeated impeachment proceedings—not to protect impeachable officers from ever facing trial by allowing them to take cover behind mere filings. As the Court itself held in Francisco v. House of Representatives, impeachment is only deemed initiated after the complaint is found sufficient in form and substance and referred to the Committee on Justice. The earlier complaints never reached that stage. To treat them as having “initiated” proceedings defies both logic and constitutional intent. This ruling invites dangerous abuse. It opens the door for impeachable officials—or their allies—to deliberately file weak or premature complaints to “consume” the one-year window and block any real effort at accountability. This is not a safeguard against harassment—it is a blueprint for evasion. ⸻ Judicial Restraint vs. Judicial Activism This case called for judicial restraint, not judicial activism. The Constitution gave the House of Representatives the sole power to initiate impeachment and the Senate the sole power to try and decide it. These are textual, exclusive powers, and the Judiciary’s role in such matters should be limited to clear, grave abuses that nullify constitutional norms. Instead, the Court stepped into the heart of a political process already underway—substituting its own judgment for that of a constitutional majority of the House. It interpreted the one-year bar so broadly that it now disables the very mechanism of impeachment in all but the rarest cases. This ruling, though perhaps well-intentioned, is a clear instance of judicial activism. It turns the Judiciary from a neutral guardian of the Constitution into an arbiter of congressional timing and internal processes—matters the Constitution never assigned to the courts. Judicial activism, if unchecked, becomes judicial supremacy. And that supremacy can, over time, paralyze the political departments that the people themselves empowered. ⸻see comment for cont. 👇🏻

BREAKING: The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) advises people in coastal provinces facing the Pacific Ocean to avoid the coast and stay away from the beach as tsunami waves are expected following the magnitude 8.7 quake in Russia. The first tsunami waves, with a height of less than a meter, are expected between 1:20 p.m. to 2:40 p.m. “It may not be the largest and these waves may continue for hours,” Phivolcs says.
