Re West Phil Sea: Duterte says both Phils & China claim it & China is in possession. WRONG. We already have legal title to WPS bec we won in Phils v. China. The world agrees. China is in illegal possession of some features, not entirety of WPS. Phil military still patrols WPS.

Maria Ressa is arrested, yet again. When law is applied with an evil eye and an unequal hand, we stop talking about the rule of law. It's the weaponization of law and the perversion of justice. STOP.

After almost 30 years, Imelda Marcos gets convicted of graft & corruption. She did not even bother to attend the promulgation of the decision, & even managed to party on the day of her conviction. Now the PNP refuses to arrest her because of old age. 'Di ba malinaw na mali?

Stopped watching the President's useless presscons after the 2nd time he wasted the nation's attention. We're better off w summaries by credible media outlets. Don't help him feed his ego & distribute propaganda. Spend time w yourself or family instead. #DontWatchThePresident

Sir, the goal of education (free or not) is to develop the critical mind of citizens. Students don't owe gov't; they get free education from Filipinos who pay taxes. Students learning to criticize gov't for incompetence, corruption, inefficiency is wonderful use of public funds.

Today, the President signed the Terror Bill into law as the Philippines breached the 40,000 level for COVID-19 cases and recorded the highest single-day total of 1,531 new cases. Sir, no law can defeat the virus. No law can defeat our will to fight for our constitutional rights!

what's wrong with arresting tambays? it empowers the police to arrest anyone they don't like; it's a virtual license to harass and extort from citizens; powerless citizens are the only likely targets; women are particularly made more vulnerable. btw it's also unconstitutional.

what a sad, tragic, & unfortunate misuse of the national attention. instead of focusing on the economy, the President admits to wiretapping Filipinos through a foreign country, exposes his fundamental ignorance of the Consti, & reveals his insecurities. such a friggin waste.

Jose Rizal could've chosen a successful life as a doctor, writer, artist, etc. He could've traveled the world, enjoyed ideas, places, people. He chose to use his talents to expose tyranny, corruption, injustice. He sacrificed his precious life for a larger cause. DEFINE HEROIC.

Mr. President, kaya nga nagpasa ng batas eh para ipagbawal ang hazing at parusahan ang mga nagkasala. Your job as chief executive is to implement the law and pursue justice for the victims. Para kang tambay lang kung magbigay ng opinyon eh.

Took a Grab yesterday from airport. Napasakay kay Sir Ronald. Ginapang nilang mag-asawa tatlong anak sa kolehiyo. Yung panganay, OFW, nag-down sa kotse. Proud sya sa pamilya. Tinanong ko sya sino mga kandidato nila sa Senado. Sabi nya gusto nya sana bago naman. Nagpakilala ako.

gumising nang maaga. nag-almusal ng tinapay, hotdog, itlog. nagkape. tsismisan sa kalye. pumila & nakaboto sa tundo pagkatapos ng 2 oras. nanood ng GoT. natulog. nagkape. nag-exercise--takbo, push ups, crunches. dalaw kay Agot. makikipag-tsismisan. hihintayin ang boses ng bayan.

The Senate hearing has shown that the case for #ABSCBNfranchise is based on well-established facts & the only reason why it's in danger is bec of the president's personal anger vs the network. This use of public power for private vengeance is the essence of ABUSE OF AUTHORITY.
