Members of the House of Representatives were offended by statements made by Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri

His statements seemed to insinuate that some members of lower chamber were motivated by personal interests rather than pure advocacy in their push for the consolidated version of the 'Bayanihan to Recover as One' bill (Bayanihan 2).

Let us move closer to home...ngayon ay dapat i-congratulate natin ang PNP for the job that they are doing now. At sa kanilang mga legitimate operations sila mismo ay namamatayan. Sa totoo lang, magmula ng maupo si Presidente Digong Duterte ang mga Shabu dealers in that barangay, from a legitimate operation, patay sila. Bumalik po ako dun ang sabi nila tumahimik ang barangay wala na nanggugulo sa kanila. That's the reality on the ground. Dapat ipakita din po sa mga pamilyang apektado ang grabeng lawak ng problema sa droga. With the focused and determined President as a Commander-In-Chief, it will be only now that we will see the full effects of the law. It is a window of opportunity that we should take to win the war on drugs.

Personally, I do not agree with it. Although I believe in the freedom of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) community to love who they want to love, to be who they want to be, but when it comes to same-sex marriage, the Filipino culture is not prepared for that.

Give them a chance to reform rather than completely shutting down the institution such as ABS-CBN. Reforms can be made to the network's policy on airing political ads, among others. For example, once you've paid for a political ad it must be shown at that time slot. So the network should no longer accept payments and reservations once the slots are full as that would be a violation of a franchise. A very reasonable amendment, I believe.

Ang death penalty kasi napakatindi ng debate nun at medyo emotional ang issue na yan. Of course, ako ay kumakampi sa lahat ng biktima na dapat ang mga gumawa ng mga karumaldumal na krimen ay dapat maparusahan ng matindi. Napakadelikado din yun mahatulan ng kamatayan na mali kasi dito sa criminal justice system natin, yan ang problema, napakaraming pang problema.

Maganda naman daw ang pinag-usapan nila ni President Duterte at ang pangako niya (Xi) ay ang focus will be on cooperation and friendship, and not the controversial issues. So ang mga fisherman na pupunta roon hindi maha-harass. He calls it a sea of peace. He would like to call the South China Sea as a sea of peace, friendship and cooperation between the Philippines and China.

I do however take offense in his calling me a cheat as I have never cheated in any election.

If protection of the environment occupies our priorities, then our people will be assured of ecosystem services that are contributed by un-contaminated air, soil and water. When our food source and people's health are affected, it is best that we choose caution and go slow on mining. We could not sacrifice our environment and the health of our people for all the glitters of a gold bar.

The anonymity provided by unregistered SIM cards has allowed many criminals of all shades the protection they need in order to commit their crimes. There is a whole host of illegal activities that we will be able to address with our SIM card registration law.
