nakakamiss ang Pilipinas pre-Duterte era

nakakahiya, nakakalungkot, nakakadismaya

Pinahiya ni Bato lahat: NBI - hindi siya naaresto Senate - nagbigay ng protective custody pero tumakas ni walang paalam PNP - nilusutan palabas ng Senado PMA - duwag na mistah Jonvic Remulla - nagmukhang tanga Marcos - nganga Duterte - sinabing sasamahan daw sa kulungan sa The Hague pero di pala totoo

Right now at the HONOR 600 launch in the Philippines. Device details and review at @walastech But more than that - Extremely lucky to see Alamat again in person, and much much closer than before. I have always been a fan... Electric fan #3 ganyan. Haha char #alamat

Presidential spokesperson Claire Castro gives more clarity to what transpired in the Senate last night. She says National Bureau of Investigation agents were at the GSIS building at the request of the president of the state insurer. The Senate is in the GSIS property, and their buildings are separated by a bridge. Castro said Senate security saw NBI agents around the Senate building and fired warning shots, so NBI agents fired warning shots in response. Castro also says the Palace has received unconfirmed reports Senate Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa left the Senate early Thursday morning. They are awaiting official confirmation.

Sabi na ganito script nila eh. Haha. Buti nagpainterview si Matibag kagabi and categorically DENIED na nasa Senado sila kahapon. If he went to the Senate, mattrap pa siya sa patibong na plano ng majority - na he will be pinned for the ruckus.

mukha rin naman talagang staged ‘yong nangyaring barilan sa senate kanina. sobrang giveaway ng reaction ni padilla na lumabas tas pangiti-ngiti lang? barilan, ngingiti? pagtaasan ng boses ni sen kiko, iiyak?

SENATE SCENE: Raw footage of Senate beat reporters running, recording and asking questions should send a strong message to audiences. Responsible journalism trumps hyperpartisan vlogging/content creation. Delivering the news is hard work. Truth-telling should be valued.

Diba, everybody performs their job well when no government shackles press freedom?

All this chaos. Just to protect the Dutertes and their allies. The country has sacrificed too much—our institutions, our democracy, and far too many lives—for the survival of people who believe they are above accountability.

I weep for our country. Whatever your political bent, the situation unfolding now at the senate is unacceptable. We are embarrassing ourselves before world.

Borrowing Cortis' song: Ayaw na namin ng REDRED Ayaw din namin ng GREENGREEN

God bless the Philippines.

For a country that prides itself as the largest Catholic/Christian country in Asia, so many Filipinos are so morally bankrupt and corrupt.

Why would the senators call NBI to secure them first, when the PNP is right outside the Senate building? According to our reporter, the PNP was not even allowed to go in when shots were heard.

Senate media beat proving that in the hardest of times it would always be the journalists to show up on the frontlines. Not vloggers, not influencers, not online commentators. Nothing but the highest respect to our hardworking colleagues.

One thing is clear tonight: the Duterte-allied Senate bloc is willing to plunge the institution into chaos and to weaponise fear, all to shield one of their own from accountability.

What news network are you all tuned into right now? ABS-CBN News? GMA News? See, that’s how real news coverage is done. Thank you to all the traditional media reporters and anchors risking their safety to keep the public informed. Please stay safe. Real heroes. Always & forever.

Nanunuod at nakikinig ang mga kabataan. We see what is happening, and we will remember the decisions and actions being made today. Darating ang 2028, and many people will use their voices and votes to demand better leadership and accountability for the country.

......bro did they just pipe in crowd cheers for Israel? #Eurovision
