Senators fight for survival, to hell with public accountability
Social media is vibrant with people voicing their outrage. (Although, malevolent forces are actively at work sowing confusion.) The public demands accountability. That’s democracy functioning! The Trillion Peso protest rallies last Sept. 21, and another one being organized on Nov. 30, are vivid demonstrations of people participating in governance.It is lamentable that the senators are taking it negatively.
The tragic story of Gelo Dela Rosa as narrated by Pablo Virgilio Cardinal David
Cardinal David:The senseless death of Gelo is a parable of our time. His story cries out to heaven—and to all of us. It shouts the question: how many more Gelo’s must die before we confront the systemic injustices that not only destroy livelihoods but also take the very lives of our fellow citizens?
Na- 1-2-3
Fr. Flavie Villanueva: In the name of justice that was denied to thousands of families who lost their loved ones due to former President Rodrigo Duterte’s state policy of “kill, kill, kill”, I make this P123 mocking deposit.

No letup in truth-telling for VERA Files
IFCN to Zuckerberg: “Mr. Trump himself said your announcement was ‘probably’ in response to threats he’s made against you. Some of the journalists that are part of our fact-checking community have experienced similar threats from governments in the countries where they work, so we understand how hard it is to resist this pressure.” Those journalists referred to by IFCN did not have the enormous resources that Zuckerberg has. With 3.5 billion constituents, almost half of the world’s population, and the third richest man in the world with $217.7 billion net worth, imagine how dynamic democracy would be if Zuckerberg decides to take up the mantle of truth-telling.
Marcos unsure he has numbers in Senate for Duterte impeachment
Why did BBM ask lawmakers not to push through with impeachment complaint against Vice President Sara Duterte? My guess is, Marcos is not sure if he has the numbers in the Senate to convict Duterte in an impeachment trial. Malacañang cannot afford to lose because impeachment rules allow only one impeachment proceedings against the same official within one year.
Impeachment trial to open Duterte’s joint bank accounts with VP Sara for scrutiny
