Ang patuloy na pagpilit ng kampo ni Congressman Suarez na manatili sa minorya bagamat maliwanag pa sa sikat ng araw sa batas at alituntunin ng Kamara na sila ay nasa mayorya na nang sila ay bumoto para kay Speaker GMA ay hindi lamang pagsasalaula ng Kongreso kundi isang tahasang PAGNANAKAW sa karapatan ng mga mamamayan […]

Statement of Erin Tanada, Partido Liberal vice president for external affairs, On the President’s accusation against the opposition

Jul

Whenever there’s a failure by this administration, it diverts attention and accuses the opposition of destabilization. Government officials should own up to their failures and not deflect the public’s attention from pressing issues by pointing to the opposition. Sa totoo lang, matagal nang kumita at sobrang gasgas na ang script na ito ng pamahalaan. Kapag […]

Partido Liberal on Saturday (July 7) welcomed 71 new Kapampangan members, who pledged to grow the party in number and in its values of freedom, social justice, and solidarity.

More disturbing in the attacks is the obviously pro-Marcos stance of Solicitor General Jose Calida in the late dictator’s son electoral protest against our Vice President. It appears that the attacks on Vice President Leni are based on Bongbong Marcos’s plan to subvert the people’s will and revise history in their family’s favor. To this, […]

I wasn’t expecting anything different from the SC. Their first decision showed that they were willing to destroy the institution and violate our Constitution. The SC was beyond redemption. It is now our duty and obligation to protect what we have left of our democracy & freedoms. ** Wala akong inaasahang iba sa SC. Ipinakita […]

Today, the 120th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Philippine Independence, we ask: Are we free from hunger and deprivation? Do our elections, aimed as an exercise of our political and economic freedom, offer us choices with substance rather than swagger? Does our educational system take us to the path of liberation from ignorance? Can we […]

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. Ang malala pa rito, tila ginagamit ang makinarya ng gobyerno sa mga bayarang Internet troll laban sa mga kaawa-awang mangingisda ng Zambales, na nagdaan sa isang […]
