‘Quiet’ Senate under Cayetano leadership will be loudly and strongly opposed by the people
The Senate “majority” boycott is an illegitimate maneuver to cling to power now that they no longer have the numbers to impose their crooked will with one “majority” senator on the lam and another imprisoned for the non-bailable charge of plunder. The likelihood of a non-functional Senate until VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment trial, which Senate…

U.S. War Secretary’s praise for the Philippines is a badge of neocolonial shame
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth praised the Philippines for complying with the US demand to increase defense spending and commit to “burden sharing” as the US military continues to expand its presence across Asia-Pacific.

BAYAN: NO WAR ON CUBA! END THE GENOCIDAL U.S. BLOCKADE!

Bayan to Gibo: You will face accountability like Duterte who defended Tokhang carnage
Bagong Alyansang Makabayan likens Gibo Teodoro’s defense of the massacre committed by members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines in Toboso, Negros Occidental to the Tokhang propaganda of the Rodrigo Duterte administration.

On Senate Coup
The Senate coup is a shameless and despicable maneuver to protect Sara Duterte and the self-serving interests of some Senators with pending cases, including corruption charges. Senate should not be hostaged by those who want to use the institution to evade accountability. The coup further exposes the bankrupt political system where those charged with corruption,…
