“They must be held accountable for the years of dirty water, exorbitant rates, and abysmal service that communities endured. This sale should not be a get-out-of-jail-free card.”
“The Senate slashed funding for the benefits of teachers, health workers, and government employees, only to funnel those cuts into a massive slush fund for local patronage. This is classic bureaucrat capitalism—robbing the workers to feed the political machinery of local dynasties.”
“Pinapahintulutan nito na makaupo nang sabay-sabay ang political dynasty sa iba’t ibang posisyon sa gobyerno at ng magkakamag-anak sa Mababang Kapulungan ng Kongreso basta’t hindi representante ng parehong distrito. Pwede pa ring makaupo nang sabay ang kamag-anak kung ito ay representante ng partylist. Pinapayagan din na mag-rigodon o magpalit-palit lamang ang magkakamag-anak dahil walang prohibition ang panukala hinggil sa succession.”
“Defending rights is not a crime. Protest and dissent are justified and necessary in the face of repression, fascism, and the massive embezzlement of public funds. We demand that this administration uphold its obligations under the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. Ultimately, it is the people’s collective action that ensures our rights are realized because we fight for them.”
“How low can the police go? Public funds meant to aid the PNP are being used to harass youth leaders who staunchly resist the biggest corruption scandal brought about by the Marcos-Duterte administration. If our taxes are spent this way, it only proves the long-standing history of the police serving the corrupt system from which they benefit.”
“This latest expose, centered around billions in questionable and anomalous budget insertions — particularly in highly susceptible areas like flood control projects — is a stark, undeniable indictment of the entrenched system of corruption perpetuated by political dynasties in this country.”
If confirmed, the arrest should be implemented without delay. This would be a significant and long-awaited step toward justice for the thousands of victims of killings and rights violations committed under Duterte’s murderous campaign.

“The MPD should take their hands off the arrested persons and stop their atrocious acts. What makes these violations even more reprehensible is that the victims are PWDs, who should be afforded protection and care—not violence and humiliation. These acts are blatant violations of their rights as persons deprived of liberty, guaranteed under both domestic law and international humanitarian standards.”
“May consent siya doon sa dalaw. So, ano yung inaangal ng mga Duterte?”
