Ifugao Representative Teddy Baguilat, Jr. on Friday criticized the camp of losing vice presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for questioning the Commission on Elections’ (Comelec) position on the 25-percent threshold. “Kapag pabor sa kanila ang desisyon, tahimik sila.

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.

As the office entrusted by the people to investigate and prosecute government official accused of wrongdoings, especially graft and corruption, the Ombudsman post must be a paragon of probity, honesty, and ethical conduct.

The cat is out of the bag on who’s behind the bold moves of pork barrel scam queen Janet Lim Napoles in securing protection from the Department of Justice. No less than her lawyer, Stephen David, told the court that her request for transfer from the BJMP to the DOJ was upon the suggestion of […]

Partido Liberal senators slammed the filing of inciting to sedition case against fellow lawmaker Antonio Trillanes, calling it harassment against government critics. ”Hindi na kagulat-gulat na ginigipit muli ng administrasyon ang isa sa mga matitibay nilang kritiko. Mas nakakapagtaka ang patuloy na pagpoprotekta at pagpapalaya ng DOJ sa mga drug lord at criminal mastermind,” said […]
