“Ano ba ‘tong Secretary ng DILG? Either napaka-incompetent niya, compromised s’ya meaning naglalaro sa dalawang ilog, or duwag s’ya sa mga Duterte. O baka nga all of the above.” — Sen. Sonny Trillanes
Savage. 😅💪🏻

Louder pls Ms. Karen 💯 👏
We deserve better!!!! Public funds should be used for the welfare and benefit of the Filipino people, NOT to serve the personal interests of these corrupt officials.
Our taxes should work for the people, not for those in power. 🇵🇭

I came across this TikTok account called Luxurychecked that identifies the actual designer pieces worn by public officials, complete with product photos and their corresponding prices. And honestly, nakakalula ang mga presyo.
One of the posts features Quezon Governor Dr. Helen Tan, and I couldn't help but take a second look. Given the ongoing concerns about corruption and public accountability dito sa Pinas, these displays of luxury naturally raise some questions. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being wealthy. But holding public office also comes with the responsibility to uphold transparency and lead by example.
Under RA 6713, public officials are expected to live modestly, in accordance with their position and income, and avoid ostentatious displays of wealth.
At the end of the day, the question is whether this kind of lifestyle is consistent with an official's declared assets and legitimate sources of income. Konting hiya naman sana sa mga public officials natin, and as taxpayers, we have every right to ask questions!

Another reason not to believe DDS Senators. Anyone of them willingly going to the Hague @IntlCrimCourt for their so-called beloved tatay digong. 💔

Thank you, @DZMMTeleRadyo, for correcting the erroneous soc med card!
This is the corrected version they posted.
Hi, @DZMMTeleRadyo
Please correct this headline. This is misleading. I did not say more than Php80B was for Suansing’s district alone.
Php83.7B worth of multipurpose buildings (MPBs) is the figure for MPB’s NATIONWIDE and not just in the DEO that covers Suansing’s district.

Mahalagang ang taumbayan ay kasama, ang mga people’s organizations ay kasama sa pagbusisi dahil sa transparency. Hindi dapat nating ginagawang, tawag dito, ‘opaque’ o hindi makikita ang mga pangyayari o ang mga desisyon.
Kailangang masusing busisiin ng Senado ang panukalang pambansang budget upang matiyak na mapupunta ang pera ng taumbayan sa mga programa at serbisyong tumutugon sa pangangailangan ng ordinaryong Pilipino, kabilang ang seguridad sa pagkain, agrikultura, edukasyon, kalusugan, at kahandaan sa sakuna.
Partikular nating tututukan ang mga kondisyon bago mailabas ang unprogrammed appropriations at ang mga layuning maaari lamang paggastusan ng mga pondong ito.
Magsisilbing panimulang batayan ng ating pagbusisi ang desisyon ng Korte Suprema na nagdeklara bilang labag sa Konstitusyon ng ilang unprogrammed appropriations sa mga budget para sa 2024 at 2025.
Dapat ding i-livestream ang mga pagdinig ng bicameral conference committee, kung saan pinagkakasundo ng mga miyembro ng Senado at Kamara ang kani-kanilang bersyon ng 2027 national budget, gaya ng ginawa noong nakaraang taon.
Dapat isapubliko ang mga napagkasunduan sa mga closed-door meeting upang matiyak ang transparency at pananagutan sa buong proseso ng pagbuo at pag-apruba ng pambansang budget.

Clearing Imeldific
SKETCHES - Ana Marie Pamintuan
In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled that Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos’ legitimate income from their combined salaries during their 20-year rule amounted to only P2.3 million ($304,372 at the time).
The amount was manifestly disproportionate to the Marcos couple’s $356 million discovered after the EDSA revolt in 1986 deposited in Credit Suisse in Zurich, Switzerland. The accounts were opened in 1968 under dummy foundations and entities, with Ferdinand and Imelda using the names William Saunders and Jane Ryan.
In November 2018, Imeldific was convicted by the Sandiganbayan of seven counts of graft in relation to the Swiss deposits. She was sentenced to a combined prison term of up to 77 years, but the anti-graft court allowed her to post P300,000 bail.
This year, in a decision dated June 10, 2026, but made public only in September, the First Division of the Supreme Court reversed the conviction and cleared Imeldific. Among the reasons cited was that the Swiss bank documents – the same ones used in the 2003 SC ruling – were not properly authenticated and therefore lacked probative value, and the prosecution witnesses lacked personal knowledge of the documents’ contents. tinyurl.com/5n8dttve

Alam mo ba na mahigit P4.3 bilyon ang insertions sa 2027 budget para lang sa distrito ni presidential son Sandro Marcos? Tapos 70% ng total infra allocations ay para lang sa multipurpose buildings at flood control/drainage projects!!!
Kung di ka pa galit...bakit??

The insertions ranked by congress persons.
We will not stop naming and shaming all of you.
