RRD can reverse the order of the NTC, being under the OP. This is not the time to deprive the people w information re the pandemic &, following his humbling realization re Ayala & Pangilinan, Government needs all the help it can get to fight COVID-19.

The House of Representatives &, later on, the Senate can & should act, one way or the other, on the franchise application of ABS-CBN. They (especially the House) cannot & should not simply pay lip service & then sit on it while supposedly awaiting signals from Malacanang.

Parusahan sya kung kailangang parusahan, turuan sya ng tamang leksyon kung kailangan pero wala sa kamay ng tao na kitilin at tuldukan ang pagkakataon ninuman ng kapwa natin na makapagbagong-buhay at bumawi sa anumang kasalanan o pagkakamali na maaaring nagawa nya.

Our people do not expect the government to assert our rights over the WPS militarily. However, they perhaps expect government to at least mention and assert it in their policy speeches and declarations.

Both the President and the government should serve every Filipino without distinction and regardless of political beliefs. Dissent in a democracy should never be frowned upon, much less penalized in any way.

No one is for terrorism but governments should be careful not to inflict the very same evil they are trying to prevent on their own citizens. That's what the Bill of Rights is for, to limit the powers of government. and protect the rights/liberties of the people! No law can override it!

As I said, this is simply wrong! For one, only 50% of our TOTAL population is fully vaccinated… The last thing any Government should do, if it cannot help, is not to add to our people’s misery in the middle of this pandemic, however, well-meaning their policies may be.

Ang pag-responde sa pandemya para maiwasan sana yung pagkawala ng maraming trabaho at oportunidad, yung paglobo ng utang. Kumita pa sila sa pandemya na ito imbes na magkabaon-baon sa utang. Ang Singapore ngayon, sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi na ina-anunsyo yung bilang at dami ng COVID-positive cases.

Ako ang pangunahing author at sponsor ng batas na nagsasabing dapat magbayad ng kompensasyon sa human rights victims.Hindi naman lahat nadadaaan lang sa salita. Bakit ipinasa ko yung batas na nagpapabayad ng kompensasyon sa human rights victims? Twenty-five years pending sa Kongreso 'yun. Noong naging chairman ako ng Committee on Justice, doon lamang naipasa yun, miyembro na ng Senado si Senator Marcos.

The current situation in the country is, sad to say, unacceptable. The state of Internet speed is pathetic, and unless we remedy this situation, our IT sector is likely to suffer in the long term.

While we aim to be gracious hosts, the Philippines must also be able to use the summit as a venue to discuss very important matters affecting our constituents. The garbage that is rotting in Manila and leaking what could possibly be toxic juices is a huge environmental problem and a public health hazard.

Matagal ko nang panawagan sa IATF [Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases] at sa DepEd na sana ay mas palawakin pa ang limited classes na ito. I hope they could eventually expand the list and include more schools from Sorsogon.

Hindi ko papahintulutang mangyari o maganap lalo na kung ang partikular na usapan ay term extension o pag-aalis ng term limit. Hindi rin po ako sang-ayon doon dahil kung titingnan natin ang kasaysayan, pinalakas talaga ang Korte Suprema ng Saligang Batas bugso ng naging karanasan natin sa dating administrasyon ni Pangulong Marcos kung saan naging napakalakas, naging napakamapang-abuso ng pangulo... Kung papahinain natin ang Korte Suprema, baka pag dumating ho iyong panahon na may mapang-abuso tayong pangulo - at hindi yun si Pangulong Aquino -- e wala na ho tayong Korte Supremang matatakbuhan.

Ako mismo sa ngayon ay ni hindi kumbinsido sa panukala nila dahil wala pa akong nakikitang laman o sustansya sa panukalang federalismo. Konsepto pa lang naman ang naririnig ko at wala pang detalye kung anong uri ba, kulay o hugis ng federalismo ang nais nilang gawin at isakatuparan dito sa ating bansa. Hindi ko pa nakikita 'yung laman noon.

Ang dapat konsultahin diyan ay Department of Justice dahil ang kalakaran, ang practice, ang tradisyon sa buong mundo na kapag EUA (emergency use authorization) lamang ang isang gamot [o] ang isang bakuna, hindi ?yan maaaring gawing mandatory dahil hindi pa naman talaga tapos ang clinical trials niyan. Tama ka. Pero imbis na gawing mandatory, i-incentivize na lamang nila. Ibig sabihin, mas malayang makakagalaw, mas malayang makapunta kung saan gusto magpunta ng sinumang bakunado.

The law gives the executive department the choice. Now the president, perhaps, wants to tell the Congress, kung ipagbabawal ninyo pwede bang ipagbawal ninyo na lang? Huwag ninyo nang ipasa sa amin. Essentially that's what he is trying do because as policy makers, it is actually Congress' job to determine the direction that any administration of government should or will take. Essentially, it would have been nice if the government started it first. And then sige, ayusin muna namin iyong sa amin. Ngayon sa private sector magta-transition tayo.

Kung may batas mang gagawin, dapat isaklaw o isama ang temporary, job order at contractual workers dahil sa totoo lang, sa pananaw ko, pareho lamang ang ginagawang trabaho ng contractual and job order at ng permanente.

Hindi dapat ‘yung, ‘ayoko na’ or ‘ako muna ‘yung magpapainit ng upuan, hihintayin ko may papalit sa’kin dahil baka mamaya wala na siyang mapuntahan o wala ng choice.’ ‘Yung mga ganu’n, ‘yung mga voluntary withdrawal, ‘yun siguro ang pag-aralan na ‘wag payagan.

Ang nais nilang ground pag nanggugulpi ka daw, kung lasenggo ka at kung adik, pwedeng mag-divorce. Ang problema sa divorce, pwedeng mag-asawa pareho. So yung dating nanggugulpi, iba naman gugulpihin. Yung dating lasenggo, iba naman yung kasama niya habang lasing siya. Yung dating adik iba na naman ang kasama niya habang adik siya.

In this time of the pandemic, we cannot have a bureaucracy of haves and have nots – those who have salary increases and those who have not. We should narrow the pay gap, not widen it.

I don’t believe we should remain neutral about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We should align ourselves with other peace-loving nations and make known our stance against war and aggression. As one of the world’s most dynamic democracies, which has constantly fought to regain its freedoms, the Philippines should help promote peace and the right to self-determination of every country in every part of the world
