🚨 MON TULFO ADMITS: THE ROMUALDEZ JAIL-ESCAPE STORY WAS FICTION The accusation was serious, but the responsibility to present the truth is even greater. In his Facebook post, Mon Tulfo admitted that he received false information about former Speaker Martin Romualdez. “I was fed the wrong report that former speaker Martin Romualdez could go in and out of jail.” The report even included a detailed story about the alleged use of an ambulance and power outages to conceal Romualdez’s supposed exit from and return to jail. But when the actual facts emerged, Tulfo made a clear admission: “No such thing happened when the facts started coming in yesterday. It was fiction.” This was not a simple error in detail. It was a serious allegation circulated without proper fact-checking. And now, Mon Tulfo himself has acknowledged that he was wrong. Former House Speaker Martin Romualdez is facing a serious plunder case, but every viral accusation cannot be treated as a guilty verdict. Let the evidence speak. Let the courts decide. Accountability must be based on facts, not fiction.

🚨 BJMP RELEASES EVIDENCE: FSMR IS INSIDE QC JAIL Contrary to circulating Facebook posts alleging that former Speaker Martin Romualdez (FSMR) has been leaving the detention facility and boarding an ambulance, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) released photos showing him inside the Quezon City Jail Male Dormitory during his morning sunning and exercise on November 4. According to BJMP’s initial CCTV verification, there were no recorded power or CCTV interruptions at the facility and no recorded movement by Romualdez outside the jail during the period examined. BJMP also clarified that all persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) are subject to the same custodial rules. Any movement outside the jail requires a proper court order. Viral allegations are one thing. CCTV records and official verification are another. In this case, evidence should prevail over speculation.

🚨 ROBIN PADILLA: “YOU ARE SLAVES TO A DICTATOR THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY” It is easy to speak boldly about going to war against a dictator close to home. But what about a dictator thousands of miles away? Should the same scrutiny and standards not apply? That was the thrust of Senator Robin Padilla’s Facebook post on October 26, 2026, accusing critics of applying double standards when it comes to war, power, and political allegiance. “Ang tapang ninyong magsalita tungkol sa pakikipag-giyera sa isang diktador na ilang daang milya lang ang layo, pero alipin naman kayo ng isang diktador na libo-libong milya ang layo.” Translating to English: “You are so bold in talking about going to war against a dictator just a few hundred miles away, yet you are slaves to a dictator thousands of miles away.” Senator Robin Padilla October 26, 2026 | Facebook Post JUSMIYO, ROBINFAIL! BEFORE LABELING OTHERS DICTATORS, EXAMINE THEIR ACTIONS Senator Robin Padilla, as an elected representative of the Filipino people, your first responsibility is to defend the Philippines’ national interests, particularly our sovereignty and national security. Before labeling a country a dictatorship, examine its conduct toward the Philippines. In the West Philippine Sea, the record includes water cannon attacks against Philippine vessels, obstruction of rotation and resupply missions, dangerous maritime maneuvers, intimidation of Filipino fishers, and militarization in disputed areas. #WestPhilippineSeaAtinIto While you debate who deserves to be called a dictator, Filipino fishers face harassment, Philippine Coast Guard vessels encounter intimidation, and resupply missions to the BRP Sierra Madre face obstruction. 🇨🇳 THE “DICTATOR” CHECKLIST: JUDGE BY ACTIONS, NOT DISTANCE Who is acting like a bully with authoritarian ambitions? Examine the record. 🇨🇳 ☑️ Water cannon attacks and coercive actions against Philippine vessels 🇨🇳 ☑️ Obstruction of rotation and resupply missions 🇨🇳 ☑️ Dangerous maritime maneuvers and intimidation at sea 🇨🇳 ☑️ Statements suggesting a willingness to use force 🇨🇳 ☑️ Information campaigns aimed at shaping the narrative over the West Philippine Sea 🇨🇳 ☑️ Militarization and the expansion of military presence in disputed areas This is not a contest over which country is closer to or farther from the Philippines. It is about conduct, the exercise of power, and respect for the rights of other states. IF YOU CAN SPEAK FREELY, WHICH COUNTRY SHOULD YOU BE QUESTIONING? Senator, if you are referring to a country thousands of miles away, why are you able to express your criticism freely on Facebook, a platform operated by a US-based company? That fact alone does not establish the overall state of civil liberties in any country. But it raises a legitimate question about the consistency of your argument. If you intend to compare the conduct of two major powers, examine their records on freedom of expression, human rights, and respect for the sovereignty of other states. As a Philippine senator, your responsibility goes beyond delivering provocative sound bites. You must address the actions that directly affect our country’s security, our people’s livelihoods, and our sovereign rights. Your duty is not to defend the narrative of any foreign power. It is to scrutinize how that power treats the Philippines, our fishers, our maritime personnel, and our rights under international law. Before counting the miles, examine the evidence. The question is not how far away a country is. The question is what it does to the Philippines’ sovereignty, security, and national interests.

“COUNT ME IN” AF like real quick, as in RN. 😅 #ConvictSaraDuterte

🚨 PCO SECRETARY LINO CAYETANO: “HE NEVER MAKES DECISIONS BASED ON POLITICS” - ON #PBBM’S CABINET RESHUFFLE #PBBM’S STAND ON LEADERSHIP “From where I stand and from all my experience interacting with the President, he has never made decisions based on politics.” PCO Secretary Lino Cayetano, October 26, 2026 @pcogovph Secretary Lino Cayetano made this statement in response to allegations that #PBBM’s Cabinet reshuffle was driven by declining approval ratings, confirmation issues before the Commission on Appointments, or possible conflicts of interest. LONG-TERM BENEFITS FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE PCO Secretary Lino Cayetano also explained what the President prioritizes when making decisions: “What matters to our President is what we can do to improve the lives of our fellow Filipinos today, and perhaps even more importantly, what we can do for them tomorrow and in the long term.” This is consistent with #PBBM’s own position on public service. In his speech on September 11, 2026, he stated: “Public service must be about your country and your countrymen.” President @bongbongmarcos, September 11, 2026 The message of the President is clear: governance should not revolve around personal interests. It should focus on the welfare of the nation and the needs of the Filipino people. LEGACY OVER ELECTORAL AMBITION #PBBM will not seek another presidential term in the next election. Rather than preparing for another campaign, he can focus the remaining years of his administration on reforms, programs, and projects that will deliver lasting benefits to the country. His legacy should be measured by concrete improvements that will continue to benefit Filipinos long after his term ends. SARA DUTERTE: PUBLIC SERVICE OR POLITICAL AMBITION? Meanwhile, Sara Duterte’s public statements and political attacks against the administration raise questions about her priorities as an elected official. Criticizing the government is part of democracy, but the public also has the right to examine how she fulfills the responsibilities of her office. The voters who entrusted her with a mandate are entitled to expect clear direction, concrete public service, and accountability. Political disputes should not overshadow the duties and obligations that come with being Vice President. A public mandate is a trust that must be repaid through service, not merely used as a platform for political battles. THE LEGACY THAT SHOULD ENDURE The challenge for President @bongbongmarcos’ leadership is to demonstrate, through programs, reforms, and measurable results, how his administration serves the country. Sara Duterte’s performance should likewise be assessed through her decisions, official responsibilities, and accountability to the public. The Philippines needs leaders committed to public service, long-term solutions, and the welfare of future generations. A President’s most lasting legacy is not how long he holds power, but what kind of country he leaves behind for the Filipino people. #PBBM | #SalamatPBBM | #BuildBetterMore | #MarcosPaRin | #BagongPilipinas | #PBBMGoodNews | #PBBMLegacy
