‘THE GUY IS CRAZY AND A LIAR’ It seems the spat between Rep. Leandro Legarda Leviste and Executive Secretary Ralph Recto will not end soon, as both politicians from Batangas continue to feud on and off social media. READ MORE: inqnews.net/RectoLevistetr…

@newswatchplusph Imbestigahan si recto at mga kaalyado!

LEVISTE VS RECTO IN PLENARY WATCH: Neophyte Batangas lawmakers Leandro Leviste and Ryan Recto engage in an exchange at the plenary on Tuesday, May 5. Leviste called on lawmakers to investigate the ties of Executive Secretary Ralph Recto with Construction Workers Solidarity Rep. Edwin Gardiola, who was tagged in the flood control mess. Recto defended his father and denied the allegations, describing the relationship of the executive secretary and Gardiola as "purely professional." | @bylancemejico

@inquirerdotnet Imbestigahan si recto!

READ: Executive Secretary Ralph Recto responded to the allegations made by Batangas Rep. Leandro Leviste during his privilege speech accusing Recto’s alleged involvement in DPWH ghost projects. In a strongly worded statement, Recto accused Leviste of attempting to bribe him twice, first with P400 million and then P1 billion, to influence a political rival to withdraw from an election race. According to Recto, he rejected both offers, calling the alleged proposal “insulting,” and added that he chose not to file charges out of respect for Leviste's mother, Senator Loren Legarda, who he said apologized over the incident. Recto also clarified his relationship with Construction Workers Solidarity Rep. Edwin Gardiola, rejecting claims of any improper dealings and stressing that their political interactions have been strictly professional and shaped by past electoral contests. He denied any involvement in so-called “ghost projects” or irregular infrastructure deals, saying all projects linked to his public service record were properly documented and have benefited constituents. | via @dexcabalzaINQ /PDI

@News5PH If this being paid by govt, then another waste of taxpayers' money. Punyeta na talaga ang inutil na senado!

'IN POLITICS, INFORMATION IS POWER' Makatutulong na malaman ang sentimyento ng taumbayan sa posibleng presidential at vice presidential candidates sa 2028 elections, ayon kay Senate Majority Leader Migz Zubiri. "We are doing this to get a regular reading of the field: who is emerging, who is holding ground and who the public is beginning to seriously consider for 2028," paliwanag ng senador. Kasunod ito ng paglabas ng quarterly presidential surveys mula sa Pulse Asia Research, Inc. na ikinomisyon ng opisina ni Zubiri.

@SCPh_PIO Inutil korte suprema. The INJUSTICE in the Philippines is perpetrated by the SC!

The #SupremeCourtPH has affirmed that the President does not have the power to remove the Deputy Ombudsman. In a Decision written by Associate Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh, the SC’s Third Division denied the petition for review filed by the Office of the President (OP). The petition challenged a ruling of the Court of Appeals that voided the OP’s dismissal of then Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur H. Carandang. While Carandang can no longer be reinstated because his term as Overall Deputy Ombudsman already expired in 2020, the SC said that the penalties imposed on him, including the forfeiture of his retirement benefits, have no legal effect. It ruled that Carandang is entitled to his full retirement benefits and to the salaries he would have received during his preventive suspension and dismissal, up to the end of his term. In 2017, Carandang was reported to have claimed in an ambush interview that the Office of the Ombudsman had proof of the alleged ill-gotten wealth of then President Rodrigo R. Duterte and his family, including bank transaction records said to have been transmitted by the Anti-Money Laundering Council to the Ombudsman. These statements related to a complaint filed by former Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV regarding President Duterte’s alleged unexplained accumulated wealth. Two administrative complaints were then filed against Carandang before the OP, accusing him of improperly disclosing confidential information and showing partiality during the interview. The OP ordered Carandang’s preventive suspension, but this was not enforced by then Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales. Carandang challenged the complaints, arguing that the SC had already ruled in the 2014 case of 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘐𝘐 𝘷. 𝘖𝘗 (𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴) that Section 8(2) of the 𝘖𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 1989 was unconstitutional for granting the President administrative disciplinary authority over the Deputy Ombudsman. The OP, claiming that the SC abandoned its ruling in 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 in the 2016 case of 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦 𝘷. 𝘖𝘗 (𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦), proceeded to find Carandang liable for graft and corruption as well as betrayal of public trust and dismissed him from service. Then newly appointed Ombudsman Samuel Martires directed Carandang to cease and desist from performing his duties and declared his post vacant. Holding that 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 had not been abandoned by 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦, the SC clarified that 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦 did not revisit or overturn 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 because that case merely upheld the dismissal of a complaint against then Overall Deputy Ombudsman Orlando C. Casimiro without imposing any sanction. The President’s disciplinary authority and the constitutionality of Section 8(2) were not at issue. 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 was also decided by the SC 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤, and could not be modified or reversed by a Division ruling, such as 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦. The SC explained that when it decided 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 in 2014, it became part of the law of the land, firmly establishing that the President has no authority to remove the Deputy Ombudsman. Reaffirming 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴, the SC stressed that the Constitution expressly characterizes the Ombudsman as independent: free from executive control, supervision, or political influence.

Di ba alam ng korte suprema maglabas ng desisyon "within reasonable time"? This was 8 years ago, so anong value ng desisyon nila?! Laki ng mga sweldo, pero mga tamad!

O di ba, korte suprema talaga dahilan ng INJUSTICE sa pinas. Laki ng sweldo ng mga buwaya at bayaran, pero kung magdecide 8 years after an act of INJUSTICE was committed.

@News5PH Huwag nang umasa sa senado! Napaka-inutil nyan, walang kwenta mga senador. Lahat sila mga corrupt at walang integridad!

HAHARAP SA SENADO Tiniyak ng kampo ni Vice Pres. Sara Duterte na handa silang makipagtulungan sa Senado, oras na matuloy ang impeachment trial laban sa bise. Ayon kay Atty. Michael Poa, haharap sa mismong trial si VP Sara kung kailangan at kapag ipatawag siya sa paglilitis. Nakatakda pa lang pagbotohan sa Kamara kung uusad sa plenaryo ang consolidated na impeachment complaint laban sa bise presidente sa susunod na linggo.

@gmanews Ipinakulong lng sya kasi un nasa administrasyon ang subject ng fake news. Kung beneficial sa gobyerno, walang gagawin ang administrasyon!

The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said on Friday the arrest of former TV host Jay Sonza by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) reflected the government's commitment to fighting online abuse and purveyors of fake news.  The NBI nabbed Sonza on Thursday night in Quezon City over his alleged spread of fake information regarding the health of President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. READ: gmanetwork.com/news/topstorie…

@gmanews Hanggang ngayon nasa "recommendation" stage pa rin ang nbi! Naduwag ba ang nbi?! Inutil talaga!

Tatlong counts ng grave threat at isang count ng inciting to sedition ang inirerekomenda ng NBI na isampa laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte. Base 'yan sa affidavit of investigation ng NBI na nakuha ng GMA News mula kay House Committee on Justice member Rep. Terry Ridon.

@inquirerdotnet Big joke, but not funny at all! Walang magawa at ginagawa ang gobyerno sa mataas na presyo na kontrolado ng malalaking kumpanya at businessmen, pero un pagtaas ng sweldo, pamasahe ayaw payagan. Grabeng kainutil ng gobyerno!
