The group set to file a perjury case against DND chief Gibo Teodoro reportedly includes active generals. This is getting exciting.

If the impeachment court changes the voting procedure or threshold, VP Sara can immediately challenge this before the Supreme Court.

Cayetano and Legarda should be the ones to bring a case against Win Gatchalian in the Supreme Court before the issue becomes moot.

Lee Kuan Yew noted in his 1988 speech, referring to the pre-martial law era: “The Philippines press enjoyed all the freedoms, but they failed the Filipino people. A wildly partisan press helped Filipino politicians to flood the marketplace of ideas with junk and confuse and befuddle the people so that they could not see what their vital interests were in a developing country.” He said this contributed to the malfunctioning of the democratic system at the time, paving the way for martial law. Today, similar concerns, including elite ownership, partisanship, sensationalism, and disinformation, continue to persist.

This new Springer paper cited our research “Cyclic codes over the matrix ring M_2(F_p) and their isometric images over F_{p^2} u F_{p^2}” which we presented at the IEEE and ETH sponsored International Zürich Seminar on Communications in 2014.

The first person who would be most relieved to hear VP Sara say she would neither call for the president to resign, nor support any extra-constitutional moves to unseat him, is BBM himself. In effect, that’s practically letting him to continue with impunity.

Is it just me, or is there more media hype surrounding the Ateneo drowning incident than the recovery and rehabilitation efforts following the Gensan earthquake, which claimed many lives?

It is when VP Sara said, “Gusto ko makita ng taumbayan hanggang sa dulo kung gaano kawalanghiya si BBM,” that some may rightly ask: “Nakita na namin at ramdam araw-araw ang epekto ng kawalanghiyaang ito. Ano ang dapat gawin para maibsan ang paghihirap ng mga tao? Kailangan pa bang maghintay hanggang dulo?”

It’s understandable that VP Sara would say she will not take part in any extra-constitutional move to unseat the president. As VP, she is duty-bound to uphold and protect the constitution. But she can still lead the growing clamor to hold the president to account. In fact, demanding accountability is one of its fundamental principles.

It’s now out in the open. Three major media companies, ABS-CBN, GMA, and TV5, are partnering with PTV-4. This raises a pervasive issue: that this arrangement will compromise their editorial independence and lead them to echo the government’s narrative rather than maintain a critical distance.

Franco Mabanta’s latest video is, as expected, a vengeful tirade against Martin Romualdez. To Mabanta, Romualdez is the ultimate villain, the root cause of nearly every problem plaguing the country. The narrative is strikingly skewed. Noticeably, Mabanta is soft on BBM, portraying him not as an enabler, but as a victim of Romualdez’s machinations.

The surprise is, Mabanta hinted that it may have been Romualdez’s idea to bring FPRRD to The Hague. See the deflection?
