Progressives press Marcos-Duterte resignation, formation of national transition council
Aside from the resignation of Marcos and Duterte, BAYAN called for the creation of a national transition council that will temporarily govern the country as a democratic civilian authority.
Political dynasties perpetuate systematic corruption
“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.”

“Like all the lower rung bureaucrat capitalists, Zaldy Co could only have carried out his large-scale plunder of the people’s money since 2016, with the direct authorization from the top of Malacañang–Duterte then, Marcos now,” Valbuena said.

The outcome would depend on the strength and determination of the people, on their desire to pursue genuine change, beyond the superficial, as well as the response of the forces resistant to change.
No ICC arrest warrant for Bato as yet
Investigation into the situation in the Philippines to determine who are most responsible for atrocity crimes, is ongoing, Atty. Conti noted. It means the aging Duterte may have some cellmates soon aside from de la Rosa. Misery loves company.

Conti maintained that even without a formal announcement against dela Rosa, an arrest warrant “is certain from what victims know and what the prosecution has presented.”
Absentee Rep. Polong Duterte
Had Davao City Rep. Polong Duterte been religiously attending the sessions at the House of Representatives, he would have heard the criticisms of the Marcos regime by ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. Antonio Tinio and the Makabayan Bloc.
Lahat ng sangkot, dapat managot, simula sa tuktok
Bakit nga ba tila iniiwas ng ilan si Marcos sa pananagutan gayong siya ang gumawa ng budget, siya ang nagpalobo ng unprogrammed funds na ginamit sa ma-anomalyang flood control projects? Siya din ang nag-approve ng releases ng unprogrammed funds. Siya ang nagpanatili ng sistema ng pork barrel o congressional allocations, at siya ang patuloy na nagbubukas ng pinto para sa korapsyon sa proposed budget para sa 2026.

“Our analysis reveals a pattern of irregularities that demands explanation and accountability. There are indicators that point to ghost projects, double funding, location changes, gross overpricing, and contracts awarded without clear specifications,” the progressive lawmaker stated.
Pot, kettle: Pathetic word war on who is more servile to foreign powers
The word war between the Dutertes and the Marcoses has nothing to do with patriotism. It is all about whose faction is more shameful in selling out the country’s sovereignty, security, and patrimony to their foreign patrons.
