🔥 **Ray Powell, your “good-cop, bad-cop” spin doesn’t hide the real issue: Filipinos are paying the price for blocked energy deals while you push endless tension.** 👀 You call out the Chinese Embassy for “dual-track messaging” and “interference,” but ignore the core contradiction in your own op-ed. Ambassador Jing Quan offers dialogue and a roadmap for cooperation — exactly what President Marcos Jr. signaled openness to — while your Stratbase-aligned crowd (including you as non-resident fellow) demands total rejection. During the Duterte years, the 2018 PH-China MOU opened the door for practical oil & gas work. **PNOC** was set up for service contracts that allowed third-party participation under Philippine rules. Exploration barriers came down so we could actually produce energy instead of watching resources sit idle. That pragmatism put affordable fuel and power within reach for ordinary Pinoys. Yet today, Stratbase (with Manny Pangilinan as co-chair) slams the door on any joint path. Pangilinan’s PXP Energy holds the dominant stake in SC-72 (Recto Bank/Reed Bank, west of Palawan and southwest of Malampaya). His empire profits from high electricity rates via Meralco while his think tank blocks development that could ease the burden. Razon saw the risks early and exited his 30% stake rather than chase questionable JVs. Retired Justice Antonio Carpio reinforces the hard line, labeling potential deals a “trap.” PCG’s Jay Tarriela, AFP’s Col. Francel Margareth Padilla, and Rear Admiral Roy Vincent Trinidad (Navy WPS voice) — all frequent Stratbase voices — keep the gray-zone highlights rolling, raising the political cost of any compromise. US-Philippines Society networks and Loida Nicolas Lewis add the Washington-friendly layer. You claim SeaLight is just neutral “transparency” funded by private donations with zero salary from Navy or Stanford. Fine. But your work consistently amplifies incidents while downplaying the economic cost: soaring fuel prices (₱135+/L diesel) hitting tricycle drivers, jeepney operators, and families hardest. Beijing’s “indisputable sovereignty” claim is blunt, yes — but your side’s insistence on zero cooperation keeps SC-72 undeveloped and Pinoys energy-dependent. Tiglao went personal? Maybe. But you skip the bigger picture: why should Filipinos accept perpetual high costs to protect a legal victory when pragmatic service-contract models (like PNOC under Duterte) offered a way forward without surrendering sovereignty? The Chinese Embassy’s original post asked simple questions: Who sets foreign policy? Who gains from rejection? Who suffers from expensive fuel? Your op-ed and tweet dodge those while crying “ad hominem.” Filipinos don’t need more OSINT drama or “assertive transparency” that locks us into scarcity. We need real energy progress — PNOC-style contracts that deliver gas and lower prices under our own terms. Enough with the division that benefits elites and foreign narratives while everyday Pinoys burn cash at the pump. Dialogue + development > endless standoff. 🇵🇭💪 #JointExplorationPH #PNOCServiceContract #EnergyForFilipinos #StopBlockingDeals

Marcos Jr. announces a measly ₱10 per liter fuel subsidy for PUVs — capped at ₱1,500 a week, starting next week in a few Metro Manila routes. Sounds like relief? It's not. It's classic "as-if-doing-something" theater while the real crisis burns. We are in a declared **National Energy Emergency** because of the Middle East conflict. Fuel stocks are still at ~50 days from pre-crisis cheaper prices. Yet diesel prices spiked like crazy, and oil companies are allegedly raking in ₱3 billion **per day** in extra profits by selling old inventory at new sky-high replacement costs. Sen. Marcoleta and the PROTECT Committee already exposed this. The President has the tools under **RA 8479 Section 14(e)** to temporarily take over or direct oil company operations when public interest demands it. He can force them to "open the books" — show actual acquisition costs, inventories, and margins. EO 110 gives him even broader emergency powers to stop profiteering and ensure fair distribution. But what does he do? A temporary band-aid subsidy that taxpayers will fund, while refusing to use real intervention powers against possible price manipulation. This isn't leadership. This is **negligence bordering on complicity**. Commuters and drivers are squeezed daily with higher fares and unreliable service, food prices are rising, and the economy suffers — all while oil giants laugh all the way to the bank. Mr. President, stop the photo-ops and half-measures. Open the books. Use the powers you already have. Or admit you're protecting big oil interests over the Filipino people. #FuelCrisisPH #OpenTheBooks #AsIfDoingSomething #MarcosNeglect

BREAKING: President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approves a P10 per liter fuel subsidy for PUVs, at a maximum of P1,500 or 150 liters per week for three months. The program will be first rolled out for PUVs plying in major roads in Metro Manila next week, starting on Commonwealth Avenue. It will then be expanded in the following days to Quezon Avenue, Alabang-Zapote Road, A. Bonifacio Avenue, Rizal Avenue and Marcos Highway, before being rolled out to other routes in other parts of the country. The fuel subsidy program will only be implemented in legitimate gasoline stations, approved and monitored by the Department of Energy. “Mahalaga ito dahil hindi lamang transport cost ang tinutugunan natin. Pinipigilan din natin ang pagtaas ng presyo ng pagkain at iba pang mga pangunahing bilihin,” Marcos said. | 📷: PCO via @dexcabalzaINQ /PDI READ MORE: inqnews.net/P10PerLiterFue…

Wala naman daw kasi kayo ebidensya bakit ipinagpipilitan ninyo na isama ang dating Speaker sa imbestigasyon. Hindi sya involved ganoon lang yun period. 😂😂😂

Why are the CPP‑NPA‑NDF cheerleaders the loudest yapping against VP Sara’s Supreme Court petition? Their noise reeks of fear. These cowards are shrieking because the blade is finally pointed at the rotten core of the House of Cards.

Hinggil sa Petisyong Isinumite ni Vice President Sara Duterte sa Korte Suprema 7 Abril 2026 Sa araw na ito, nagsumite si Vice President Sara Duterte ng petisyon sa Korte Suprema upang pigilan ang nagpapatuloy na impeachment proceedings laban sa kanya sa House Committee on Justice. Ang petisyong ito ay nakabatay sa maling paglalahad ng mga aktwal na pangyayari at maling interpretasyon ng Konstitusyon at umiiral na jurisprudence. Ito ay malinaw na panlilinlang ng Pangalawang Pangulo at ng kanyang mga abogado sa Korte Suprema at sa publiko. Una. Hindi totoo na hindi ang plenaryo ng Kongreso ang nag-refer ng mga impeachment complaints. Makikita sa mismong video footage ng plenaryo noong 23 Pebrero 2026, sa oras na 3:48 PM, na ang referral ng apat na impeachment complaints ay isinagawa ng buong Kapulungan, alinsunod sa Section 3(2), Article XI ng Konstitusyon. Hindi ito aksyon lamang ng Speaker o ng Committee on Rules. Ito ay aksyon ng plenaryo ng House of Representatives bilang isang kolektibong katawan. Ikalawa. Walang rekisito sa batas na kailangang magkaroon ng deliberasyon bago ang referral. Walang probisyon sa 1987 Constitution, House Rules on Impeachment, o sa Gutierrez vs. House na nag-uutos na kinakailangang magkaroon ng deliberasyon bago ang referral. Ang sinasabi lamang sa Gutierrez ay maaaring magkaroon ng deliberasyon—hindi ito isang mandatoryong rekisito. Higit pa rito, sa araw ng plenaryong iyon, walang sinumang Miyembro ng Kapulungan ang naghain ng mosyon o objection upang tutulan ang referral at magsimula ng deliberasyon—kahit mula sa kapatid, kamag-anak, o kaalyado ng Pangalawang Pangulo. Ikatlo. Walang paglabag sa One-Year Bar. Ang One-Year Bar ay umiiral lamang matapos ang isang valid referral ng impeachment complaint. Malinaw sa public record na iisa lamang ang naganap na referral ng mga impeachment complaints sa House Committee on Justice, kahit itinabi ang Castro complaint at nag-withdraw ang Dee complaint. Mismong ang kaso ng Duterte vs. House ang nagsasaad na ang proseso ng House Committee on Justice ang magtatakda kung alin sa mga impeachment complaints ang dapat magpatuloy at alin ang dapat mabasura. Samakatuwid, walang paglabag sa One-Year Bar, at ang kabaligtarang pahayag sa petisyon ay isang maling aplikasyon ng Konstitusyon at jurisprudence. Ikaapat. Walang paglabag sa due process sa mga hakbang ng Committee on Justice. Ang kapangyarihan ng Committee on Justice na magsagawa ng pagdinig, mag-isyu ng subpoena, at mangalap ng ebidensya ay malinaw na nakapaloob sa Konstitusyon, sa House Rules on Impeachment, at sa nagdaang kaso ng Duterte vs. House. Hindi kinakailangan na kalakip ang lahat ng ebidensya sa oras ng paghahain ng impeachment complaint. Ang proseso ng pagdinig ay mismong mekanismo upang tuklasin ang katotohanan. Sa harap ng panlilinlang na ito sa Korte Suprema at sa publiko, magpapatuloy ang Kongreso at ang House Committee on Justice sa proseso ng pagpapanagot sa Pangalawang Pangulo sa usapin ng confidential funds, di-maipaliwanag na yaman, at pagbabanta sa Pangulo ng Pilipinas. Lalapag sa mga susunod na araw ang mga dokumento mula sa Ombudsman, BIR, at SEC. Mailalantad ang mga ito sa buong bayan sa susunod na linggo, sa ika-14 ng Abril. Ihaharap din si Ramil Madriaga upang magbigay ng kanyang patotoo. Nasa gitna na tayo ng proseso ng pagpapanagot sa Pangalawang Pangulo. Tuloy-tuloy ito hanggang sa pinakadulo. Tama na ang panlilinlang. Tama na ang pagsisinungaling. Panahon na para harapin ang katotohanan.

Ganito na ba ang uri ng mga Mambabatas ngayon? Ano ang nangyayari sa mga Pilipinong Mambabatas at nakuha pang tawagin ang SC (Supreme Court) na Sara's Court? Isang pang iinsulto sa Korte Suprema.
