Sa halip na gumawa ng paraan para maprotektahan ang ating mga mangingisda, matamlay na naman ang posisyon ng administrasyong Duterte ukol sa panggigipit at pagnanakaw ng Chinese coast guard.

Diokno, was Senator Tañada’s client, friend, and colleague in […]
The People’s Republic of China has installed missiles in the Spratlys, well inside our EEZ and our territorial claims in the West Philippine Sea. In an unprecedented move, it has also landed nuclear-capable bombers near the area, putting almost the whole Philippines within the bombing range of China. These actions are a cause of great […]

This is a salute to mothers — amazing, wonderful people who constantly teach their children selflessness, dignity, and integrity. Without their care and guidance, we wouldn’t have brilliant, principled leaders; we wouldn’t have the strength to stand our ground against injustices; we wouldn’t have the heart to #resist. Kaya happy Mother’s Day sa lahat ng […]
