Statement I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception. Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation. I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void. If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime. I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions. That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law. And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady. Accountability should apply to all, big or small. #Accountability

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan has urged the speedy passage of the proposed anti-scalping measure, citing soaring resale prices of BTS concert tickets and emphasizing the need for stronger consumer protection. @gmanews

If this is the threshold, then the honorable Supreme Court should also suspend the lawyer who said this: “Putangina ninyong lahat! Martin Romualdez, Liza Marcos, Bongbong Marcos” That same lawyer also threatened the lives of the names above. Yes, Sara Zimmerman Duterte!

JUST IN: President @bongbongmarcos calls the Congress of the Philippines for a special session on June 17, 2026. @ABSCBNNews

@HEYOgrapinas kunwari part na lang ng design yan 😌

Hindi ata madownload sa Canva yung thumbnail ng episode ni Atty. Claire kaya screenshot na lang 😭

she’s so “people’s princess” coded 🥹👑

@jesusfalcis supot na naman yan 😂

🚨 Sabi ni Mike Defensor, tuloy ang Blue Ribbon sa Tuesday pero hindi sa Senado. Sa EDSA. Pupunta daw ang 18 Marites at may dagdag pa na 14. Ang nakakatawa, suportahan daw ang Cayetano Bloc kaso sinama pa din si Joel Villanueva sa bilang! 😂 #WowMali

Steven Spielberg hasn’t met an alien - and he’s upset about it.

Atty. Torreon says he was denied entry to the last night of Rene Baterbonia’s wake in Ateneo de Davao. He was with Regal Oliva and other DDS who were also denied entry. He claims the VP of Ateneo was the one who gave orders. May allegation pa sya ng “putrefaction.” 😡

Barbara Gordon goes Absolute. Issue #24. This September.

Can’t trust people who don’t like disclosure day

The over the top reactions to Disclosure Day have me once more pondering how it would be nice if certain people remembered that "instant new masterpiece" and "one of the worst movies ever" are not the only two perspectives for movies. There's a whole spectrum in the middle!

This implies that a movie needs to explain and spoonfeed everything to the audience to be good, instead of requiring you to think about what you're seeing. Hint: the device can't be explained, because the people who are using it don't actually understand its purpose...

Divine’s parents found out about what happened on social media before Ateneo even bothered to notify them

another SB-11 edit 😚 #senateofthephilippines

The funniest part of DISCLOSURE DAY was when Steven Spielberg looked at alien designs from 48 years ago and when tasked if he could improve them, he answered "Nah, I'm good."

I assure my closeness to the people of the Philippines, struck a few days ago by a powerful earthquake. I pray for the deceased and their families, for the wounded, and for all those suffering because of this disaster.

Mr. Guo Wei should remember where he stands. He resides here as a guest in the Philippines, yet has the audacity to say our Defense Secretary deserves to “ultimately pay the price” for defending our own country. Secretary Teodoro has only upheld the rights of the Filipino people in our own waters — affirmed by the 2016 Arbitral Award that China refuses to honor. Mr. Guo says “people are known by the company they keep.” We agree — so look closely at who fires water cannons at our boats and rams our ships, then blames the nation defending against it.
