@SCPh_PIO Kaya pala gabundok ang pending cases sa Pinas, kasi iba ang pakahulugan ng mga deputa sa forthwith.

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤, during its session today, April 29, 2026, dismissed the petition for mandamus filed by Catalino Aldea Generillo, Jr., which sought to compel the Senate to immediately convene as an impeachment court to try the charges against Vice President Sara Duterte. In a 14-0-1 Decision written by Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda, the SC held that mandamus, which is meant to enforce a clear legal duty, was not the proper remedy. It ruled that the Senate’s actions within its sphere cannot be revised or controlled by the judicial department through mandamus. As a co-equal constitutional body, the Senate’s exercise of its duties is beyond the SC’s power of review, except in cases of grave abuse of discretion. However, specifically for this case and in the interest of equity, the SC treated the petition as one for certiorari and proceeded to determine whether the Senate acted unlawfully or abused its discretion when it did not convene immediately as an impeachment court during its session break. Contrary to the petitioner’s claim, the SC found that the Senate acted on the impeachment complaint in a timely manner. While the Constitution requires the House of Representatives to act within a certain number of session days on an impeachment complaint, it does not specify a fixed timeframe for the Senate to start an impeachment trial. It simply provides that the trial “shall forthwith proceed,” leaving the timing to the Senate’s discretion. The SC clarified that the term “forthwith” in Article XI, Section 3(4) of the Constitution means within a reasonable time, which may be longer or shorter, depending on the circumstances of each case. This allows the Senate to make the necessary preparations to convene as an impeachment court. While the Constitution does not set an exact date for the trial, the Senate must avoid undue delay to uphold the principle that public officers must at all times be accountable to the people. The SC considered the petition moot because the Senate had begun impeachment preparations, and the Articles of Impeachment against Vice President Duterte were nullified by the SC’s July 25, 2025 Decision and January 28, 2026 Resolution in Duterte v. House of Representatives. A case is moot when subsequent events remove any issues, making court rulings unnecessary. Since no Articles of Impeachment remained, the SC had no reason to order the Senate to convene as an impeachment court.

If only the US did not intervene after the dictatorship fell...

@smurfette017 @macronikki Yan ata yung son-in-law ni Magalong.

@macronikki Sorry, sino iyong Libayan?

Watched it while having breakfast kanina. Good job, Atty Falcis! Libayan did not come prepared. His arguments sounded like someone who wasnt informed at all. Kulang na kulang. Nakakadismaya lang to learn that people follow this man. Lata ang utak.

@ABSCBNNews Kung anu-anong palusot. Harapin nyo na lang yung kaso sainyo dahil may mga ebidensya naman.

Mike Defensor released a recording of an alleged phone call between Orly Guteza and his wife last year, in which he claims he was being pressured to say that Defensor and Senator Rodante Marcoleta paid him, while also voicing fears for his family’s safety. Guteza earlier testified before the Senate in September 2025 that he had delivered kickbacks to properties allegedly linked to Zaldy Co and fomer House Speaker Martin Romualdez. In October 2025, a Manila RTC ruled that the affidavit bearing his claims had a signature that did not match the named lawyer’s. Guteza has not been seen publicly since. Defensor added that his latest information on Guteza’s whereabouts is that he is alive and with his family, though his exact location remains unknown. | via @AllisonCoABSCBN

BOYCOTT THIS SHOW!!!

@macronikki Baka akala nila ang legit na SC ay mga mag-isa lang nakatira sa bahay at walang gamit.

"The monthly consumption must not exceed the set threshold of up to 100 kwh" -- NYE. Bakit may limit na ganito?

@newswatchplusph Tulungan, YES! Pero kunin nyo sa pondo na galing sa tax. Hindi yung kukunin nyo on top of taxes. Tapos yung pondo, nanakawin lang din.

GATCHALIAN ON POWER SUBSIDIES: ‘KAILANGAN NATIN TULUNGAN ANG PINAKAMAHIHIRAP’ WATCH: Amid complaints over the lifeline rate, or discounts on electricity bills for low-income households being shouldered by consumers, Senator Win Gatchalian said the subsidy is not new and accounts for just 1 centavo out of the 56 centavos in government-mandated charges. “Hindi malaki yung tulong natin sa pinakamahihirap — para lang makatawid sila at mabuhay nang may dangal,” he says. Gatchalian attributed the recent bill shock to an increase in generation charges. He has invited Meralco and the Energy Regulatory Commission to a hearing tomorrow. | @eimorpsantos

@eichverniz @nabunturanguy Yep. Kaya putangina pa rin ni Amal Clooney na nagpalaya kay pandak.

@nabunturanguy Yan din ba yung isang dekada nag neck brace pero nung maabswelto biglang gumaling ang leeg?

Sino nga ba ang presidente noong 2007? Siya rin ba yung president nung nag suicide si Gen Angelo Reyes who was being investigated for the alleged ₱50 “pabaon” in his retirement? Ito rin yata yung president na nag-attempt na ibenta ang Pinas through that NBE-ZTE deal? Siya ba si “Hello Garshi?”

Dear HRs, Stop holding interviews when you have already decided who is getting the job. Some of the unemployed borrow money for transport! Thank you.

@goodkidbikecity Yung sintemiento ng mga tao ay hindi naman hate. Matutuwa ka ba makita na may mga 4Ps na pasugal-sugal lang tapos ikaw na halos kaltasin na lahat ng sahod sa tax e hirap na hirap na din magbayad ng bills?

The 4Ps haters HATE this

Diba magaling sa eviction ang UP? Bakit di nila mapaalis yan?

@keifornal Partida naka-tsinelas lang haha

@ABSCBNNews @michael_delizo Tanginang puro mga utak kriminal

Why are people so pressed about this couple's choices? If I can turn back the time, I would do the same. Raising another human in this economy? In this current state of the world where war is being declared willy-nilly by senile old men? No, thanks.

P80 lang kilo nitong mangga. Perfect para sa Mango Overnight Oats. 🥳🥰

Nauuna kasi yung mga daldal nyo. So ano, nagsayang lang kayo ng pera dyan?

Ang daming nangyayari sa bansa. Wag kayo matatakot magsalita ha. Wag kayo titigil lumaban. Tayo ang boses. Tayo ang bayan. Tayo ang kapangyarihan.

Dignity? Trixie? Hahahaha tangina

@paulcatiang Meanwhile, me as a parent na takot na takot na hindi matuto mag-commute ang anak ko kasi sanay nung bata na naka Grab at taxi dahil nahihilo sa jeep at UV. Pero marunong na sya now.

I have an older friend who went to Ateneo in the 80s. She lived in Dasmariñas Village, and she took the bus to and from Diliman. During my time—yes, I am *that* old—even some of the better-off students knew how to commute. How are these scholars unaware of the everyday commute?

@tr1pnaut1k I mean, kung ikaw na bahagi ng nagbabayad ng kuryente ng 4Ps, nagbabayad ng tax para may ayuda sila tapos halos di ka na rin makabayad ng bills mo, maiinis ka talaga. Lalo if makakita ka na may mga 4Ps beneficiaries na di naman dapat kasali sa listahan.

Nothing weird if you're a middle class who earns just enough to keep your family afloat Maybe you have to understand their view too
