Public officials cannot invoke good faith or the presumption of regularity where a transaction patently violates established laws, rules, and government circulars.

So shouting profanities now deserves a cash reward?
Interesting.
If that's what we reward, we shouldn't be surprised when bad character is mistaken for courage. Then again... who does the rewarding speaks volumes.
Happy Weekend! ☕
Like coffee, life is personal. What's best for others may not be best for you. Trust your own experience and choose what brings you peace.
Starbucks overrated?
Maybe.
But after giving Dunkin' a fair shot, I keep crawling back to Starbucks. I guess my taste buds prefer rich and bold over light and smooth.
That's the beauty of coffee ‐ there's no wrong answer, only your favorite cup. ☕
The moral compass is… compassing. 😂
Robin Padilla: I’ve never met anyone as decent as Marcoleta trib.al/JgKNb5p
Satire suddenly becomes “disrespectful” when it hits the politicians you support?
The joke wasn’t about violence. For many Filipinos, it was clearly parody of perceived political theatrics surrounding the “Senate under attack” narrative.
Hindi naman pala Toyota Fortuner ang sinakyan ni Robin at Bato.

KUMUSTA KA NA?
On #Agenda, Korina Sanchez-Roxas, Pinky Webb, Willard Cheng, and Monique Tuzon-Basi tackled the latest developments surrounding the Senate shooting, including questions on CCTV footage, ongoing investigations, and transparency in the handling of evidence.
During the discussion, Korina also touched on the emotional moment involving Senator Pia Cayetano, who earlier became emotional in the Senate after saying no one from the minority checked on them following the incident.
Heard: "Dati, proud ako na sa Senado ako nagtatrabaho. Ngayon, nahihiya na ako."
That says a lot about the state of our institutions today.
'WE OWE THE FILIPINO PEOPLE MUCH, MUCH BETTER THAN THIS'
Nanawagan si Sen. Risa Hontiveros sa bagong liderato ng Senado na protektahan ang dignidad at reputasyon ng mataas na kapulungan.
"Nawawala ang paggalang at tiwala ng taumbayan sa Senado when our powers and traditions are being misused to avoid accountability," saad ng senadora.
"The Senate must not become a mockery in the face of the Filipino people, especially when the public is looking to us to faithfully perform our Constitutional duties," dagdag pa ni Hontiveros.
So… international agreements, treaties, and global accountability mechanisms are “stupid” only when allies are involved?
The tough-guy script really collapses when the conversation shifts from bravado to consequences.
Pilipinas, ang ibinoto nyo!
'KUNG WARRANT 'YON GALING SA PILIPINAS, MABABAHALA KAMI. PERO KUNG WARRANT SA IBANG BANSA, STUPID'
Iyan ang naging pahayag ni Sen. Robin Padilla nang tanungin patungkol sa arrest warrant na ni-release ng International Criminal Court (ICC) kahapon, May 11, 2026, laban kay Sen. Bato dela Rosa kaugnay ng umano'y extrajudicial killings noong rehimen ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
Ani Padilla, hindi raw valid ang warrant ng ICC para sa kanila.

“Protective custody.”
Interesting phrase.
When ordinary Filipinos are accused, they get handcuffs.
When powerful allies are accused, they get Senate protection, legal reinterpretations, and press conferences.
Suddenly, sovereignty is trending when accountability comes knocking.
Newly installed Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano said Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, who is under the chamber’s “protective custody,” may only be turned over to authorities on a warrant issued by a Philippine court.

Downloadable Cowardice.
From ‘fearless enforcer’ to stairwell survival mode real quick.
Wish list for the Philippines: lawmakers - yes, Senators and Congressmen, and public servants who truly work for the people and with the people, not for the preservation of each other’s interests and political survival.
Public service should never become a mutual protection club.
Akala ko ba, handa kang sumama sa The Hague?
So, it’s easy to talk about loyalty and courage when accountability is still theoretical? And it’s a different story when the warrant has your name on it?
Daylight reveals the details.
