MRT 3 will be privatized.
Now issuing VISA should also be privatized?
Puro na lang privitization. Palibhasa mga companies linked sa politiko or barkada ng mga politiko ang magiging owners nung companies.
Outsource visa processing? The DFA says not so fast.
It rejected Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla’s proposal to strip the department of visa-issuing powers, arguing that approving or denying visas is a sovereign government function, not a clerical task that can be handed to a private company.

Cyberlibel only serves the rich and powerful. How can you speak truth if they can silence you with the law?
Authorities arrest journalist Philip Lustre in a restaurant in Quezon City over a cyberlibel complaint.
The arrest warrant was issued by a Davao City court. Lustre said he is not aware of any complaints against him. | via @daniza_frnndz
BASIC SERVICES SHOULD NEVER BE PRIVATIZED!
Once private company na ang owner, profit na ang priority. Hindi service. Maganda nga ang quality, 100% price increase naman.
Bakit pa tayo nagbabayad ng taxes if they're just stealing them and making basic services private?!
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is pushing through with the private turnover of the Metro Rail Transit Line 3, aiming to award the MRT-3 concession by the second quarter of next year. tiny.cc/i8fc101
Yeah. Something is definitely fishy here. It's like expelling them or closing them is something the Chinese wants us to do.
BWELTA SA PAHAYAG NI RIDON
Sumagot ang Chinese Embassy Manila kaugnay sa pahayag ni Bicol Saro Party-list na kung hindi umano papaalisin si Chinese Ambassador Jing Quan ay lesser diplomats na lamang ang pauwiin.
Giit ni Ridon sa kabila ng naging pag-uusap nina Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Sec. Tess Lazaro at ni Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Jing Quan ay tuloy-tuloy pa rin umano ang pag-atake ng social media account ng Chinese Embassy sa pamahalaan at mga opisyal.
"Ang apela namin ay hindi ho palayasin yung pong Chinese Ambassador. Ang apela namin at this point, option ng atin pong Pangulo palayasin po yung mga lesser diplomats," naunang saad ni Ridon.
Something feels off. A Chinese ambassador is deliberately breaking major diplomatic protocols to insult us and seemingly daring us to expel him.
Why? Are they setting a trap?
Japan faced worse remarks before but never expelled its diplomat. Do they know something we don't?
Mr. President, if you can send Duterte, Quiboloy and Romualdez to jail, declare POGO illegal and have them shutdown, assert our sovereignty against Chinese aggression then you can most certainly send this arrogant, insulting, crude and insolent alien back to his country of origin.
I have witnessed and thus know that you have what it takes, Mr President. But if you don’t use it, you lose it.
Send this poor version of a foreigner, this hooligan back home.
How can we convince the world that the Philippines is capable of defending our territories from an invading superpower if our own government can't even deal with a fugitive and his "powerful" goons? Pathetic.
Now this is how you respond!
If they insist on showcasing their brawn to intimidate us, then we Filipinos need to outsmart them with our brains. Diplomacy and "diskarte" can be weapons too.
I gotta be honest. I didn't know the Prosecution had that dog in them.
A dog named Machiavelli.
UPDATE: Presiding Officer Francis Escudero tells the defense team it no longer needs to present evidence on the three withdrawn impeachment articles (Articles 1, 3, and 4) after the impeachment court accepts the prosecution’s manifestation to withdraw them.
Escudero says article 3 is deemed withrawn without prejudice against the respondent since the prosecution did not present or deduce evidence under this.
The withdrawal of article 3 is limited to the trial alone.
Escudero rules that articles 1, 3, and 4 will not be submitted for the senator-judges' vote. The respondent will not need not to present evidence in defense of these three articles. The sub judice rule will also no longer cover the withdrawn articles. #VPOnTrial | via @victoriatulad

Para sa Philippine Government, i-ban na ang lahat huwag lang ang online sugal.

These are the kinds of write-ups that made me fall in love and eventually pursue a career in writing.
Highly recommend you guys read it!

I thought our story about Nanay Sita was over after the documentary aired. For months after, her neighbor kept sending updates—some hopeful, others not.
I never planned to write about them again, but the story was difficult to put away.
Pasensiya na, this is a sad one.

🇵🇸🇵🇭 “The Philippines reaffirms its consistent and principled support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination. We firmly believe that the two-state solution remains the only viable path to lasting and durable peace, with Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, and all others respecting their peaceful coexistence.”
Am I glad that the Discord Ban was lifted? Yes.
But we must not forget how willing the DICT and CICC are to throwing the Filipino people under the bus for their half-assed, performative solutions.
I am glad the online Filipino community stood on business when it mattered!
'PASENSIYA SA LAHAT NG NAAPEKTUHAN AT NAABALA SA ILANG ORAS NA BANNED ANG DISCORD'
Nanghingi ng paumanhin si CICC Executive Director Aboy Paraiso matapos ma-ban ang Discord sa Pilipinas simula Miyerkoles ng gabi hanggang ngayong Huwebes, Sept. 24, 2026.
Ayon kay Paraiso, nailatag na ng Discord ang kanilang mga plano para maagapan at tugunan ang mga seryosong banta na napapagusapan sa kanilang platform.

Discord Ban has been lifted?
I think we all need this LMAO
I survived Discord PH Ban 2026
It’s confirmed. Discord has officially been banned in the Philippines.
Confirmed by CICC chief and expensive-scale-figures-displayer Renato “Aboy” Paraiso.
Ban will only be lifted if Discord establishes a local headquarters. Digital and online workers be damned!
Apparently, CICC didn't know Discord is being used by people outside of gaming. Akala nila for gamers lang!
If this is true, then the government banned Discord without knowing all the facts! WTF.
Why are we paying taxes to people who don't know what they are doing?!
BREAKING: The Discord ban has apparently been lifted!

Update: they’ve already been made aware of the situation and are doing what they can on their end. Let’s not stay complacent though ! This petition would be stronger please also leave your comments if you can so I can reach out to other parties and figures too!
