FR. REYES: PGMA FOSTERED CHURCH CORRUPTION
Fr. Robert Reyes accused the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of fostering systemic corruption within the Church, citing bishops who accepted lavish gifts to align with political power.
He recounted his self-exile and fasting to urge bishops to ask for her resignation, denouncing both the betrayal of the people and the Church hierarchy during the “Hello Garci” scandal.
More on this in the full episode of #TheSpokes.

'WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT'
Kinuwestiyon ni Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David ang aniya'y kakulangan ng hakbang ng gobyerno para maibsan ang paghihirap ng mga apektado ng oil crisis.
Sa programang "Storycon" ng One News, sinabi ni David na naniniwala siyang may kaya pang gawin ang gobyerno na higit pa sa pamamahagi lang ng ayuda.

@pdokprodo Asa ka pa. Marcos is protecting oil companies esp Ramon Ang who owns Petron. If he's really serious about addressing the crisis he should already be using the emergency powers granted to him but he's not.

Dear Pres. Bongbong Marcos,
Sir, we aren't really asking you to control the global market price. Alam naman po naming may giyera sa Middle East, and we expected oil prices—and consequently, the cost of goods—to rise.
What is very difficult for us to understand and accept, however, is that the sudden increase in fuel prices here in the Philippines is waaaaaaaay higher than our ASEAN neighbors. 😣😵😵💫
While Indonesia and Malaysia are still enjoying subsidized rates as low as ₱25–₱30/liter, diesel prices in the Philippines have officially surged to a record-breaking ₱126.20/liter (and even higher in some provinces) following the declaration of a National Energy Emergency.
In case the people around you have not informed you yet, here is where we stand now compared to our neighbors (Prices in USD Equiv):
🇮🇩 Indonesia (Subsidized): $0.43
🇲🇾 Malaysia (Subsidized): $0.49
🇹🇭 Thailand: $1.07 (Hiked today!)
🇻🇳 Vietnam: $1.35
🇵🇭 Philippines: $2.10
Why??? 🙄🥺😢
Mr. President, if there was ever a time for you to be "brusko" so that traders and profiteers don't exploit this crisis, this is it. Ngayon niyo po ipakita ang tapang at galing niyo. Also, please get some good advice from the best and the brightest minds.
Protect our people's interests. Safeguard our remaining and very limited oil supply while we navigate this crisis and have yet to secure additional sources.
Tough times call for a wise and tough leader, Mr. President. Please be one, Sir 🙏- or please step aside👊🇵🇭

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) has dismissed the complaint of GMA Network, Inc. (GMA) against ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation (ABS-CBN) over alleged defamatory statements accusing GMA of manipulating a TV ratings survey.
In a Decision penned by Associate Justice Japar B. Dimaampao, the SC’s Third Division denied two consolidated petitions—a complaint for damages filed by GMA and the counterclaims filed by ABS-CBN—ruling that the aired statements of ABS-CBN hosts are qualified privileged communications and constitute a fair and true report that GMA personnel visited homes to influence a TV ratings survey.
The SC ruled that the utterances made by ABS-CBN’s hosts and guest speakers are considered qualified privileged communications and constitute a fair and true report based on their interpretation of an AGB Nielsen executive’s radio interview and the data analysis report submitted by AGB Nielsen.
The SC emphasized that there was no malice in the airing of the statements because they were supported by documentary evidence.
ABS-CBN’s counterclaims were also dismissed. The SC said GMA was able to establish a cause of action based on the belief that the subject statements aired on ABS-CBN’s programs were defamatory.
In 2007, ABS-CBN hired AGB Nielsen to supply TV ratings data for Mega Manila and other urban regions nationwide, with sample households called Panel Homes kept strictly confidential to prevent tampering or interference by media industry parties. Protecting the integrity of the TV ratings was crucial, as ABS-CBN relied on them to decide which programs to air, their timing, and target audiences.
ABS-CBN received reports that individuals reportedly hired by GMA contacted some Panel Homes to influence viewing data by persuading residents to watch GMA programs in exchange for monthly incentives of PHP 500 in cash and PHP 300 worth of groceries.
A GMA employee in Iloilo testified that the station manager ordered him and six others to find the Panel Homes and convince the residents to watch GMA programs in exchange for monetary incentives.
In a formal letter and radio interview, AGB Nielsen ’s General Manager, Maya Reforma, admitted that the Panel Homes had been tampered. ABS-CBN then aired program segments that carried Reforma’s statements.
GMA filed a complaint for damages before the Regional Trial Court (RTC), claiming that ABS-CBN deliberately twisted Reforma’s statements by declaring that GMA had manipulated the ratings. ABS-CBN filed counterclaims for damages.
The RTC dismissed GMA’s complaint, as well as ABS-CBN’s counterclaims. When the Court of Appeals (CA) upheld this decision, the matter was brought to the SC.

'SINO PO KAYA ANG DAPAT BINANTAYAN?'
Pumalag si Palace Press Officer Usec. Claire Castro kaugnay sa pahayag ni Sen. Imee Marcos tungkol sa hindi umano niya nagampanang habilin ng kanyang amang si dating pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Sr.
"Ang Pangulo, hindi nagmumura, hindi nagme-meltdown lalo na sa publiko, at hindi nagbabanta sa buhay ninuman. Ang Pangulo, ikinasal, may pamilya, at hanggang ngayon, faithful sa asawa. Sino po kaya ang naging pasaway ang dapat na binantayan?" saad ni Usec. Castro.

Worried his legacy will be undone? Lols. You can't undo what doesn't exist. Unless by “gains” he means the billions his kleptocratic gang has “secured” while Filipinos drown in floods—and now, P110/liter fuel. The successor shouldn't just reverse Marcos’s policies—she should make sure he pays for his crimes.

“VIP PASSENGERS”
Muling umingay ang usapin hinggil sa kontrobersyal na “maleta scheme” matapos ibahagi ni Atty. Levi Baligod ang isang larawan mula sa loob ng isang pribadong eroplano—kung saan makikita ang umano’y dose-dosenang maleta na tila ginawang “pasahero.”
Sa kanyang social media post, direkta niyang sinabi:
“Mga VIP na pasahero ng KingAir. Yung iba nasa ‘economy’ class sa likod nagsisiksikan, 42 na Maleta ng Buwis ng Bayan sa biyahe na ito.”
Dagdag pa niya ang isang pahayag na tila sagot sa mga nagdududa:
“(N.B.: Sa mga nagsasabing AI ito, ang utak ninyo ang AI.)”
Sa ibinahaging imahe, makikita ang loob ng isang luxury turboprop aircraft (King Air type) na karaniwang ginagamit para sa executive o private flights.
Ang cabin ay may premium leather seats, nakaayos sa magkabilang gilid, na may makitid na aisle sa gitna. Sa halip na mga pasahero, ang mga upuan ay puno ng malalaking hard-case suitcases.
Ang kabuuang impresyon: isang eroplano na tila ginawang cargo transport para sa mga maleta, ngunit nakaayos sa paraang parang sila ang mga pasahero.
Ang larawang ito ay tila karugtong ng mga naunang ibinahagi ni Baligod—kabilang ang mga larawan ng:
• Mga maletang tinimbang umano bago i-load
• Mga maletang naka-line up sa tabi ng helicopter
• Mga maletang sinasabing umaabot sa daan-daang kilo at daan-daang milyong halaga
Sa mga naunang pahayag, sinabi rin niya:
“Tinitimbang muna (mga 500 kilos mga ito, P500 Million) bago isakay sa heli. Isang byahe na ang pasahero ay ang buwis ng Bayan.”
Bagama’t mariing itinatanggi ng ilang idinawit na opisyal ang ganitong mga alegasyon, ang patuloy na paglalabas ng mga larawang ito ay lalo pang nagpapainit sa diskurso hinggil sa umano’y malawakang anomalya sa pondo ng gobyerno.
