We are not a poor country. We are a robbed country. Bear that in mind when our politicians secure millions for themselves but claim that we lack the resources to protect our healthcare workers or support the poor.

Why September 21 as the date of martial law is a trap; read both parts. Then, look into the timeline of those days, a thread. 1. The argument against 9/21 and for 9/23 #MartialLaw51

Inflation further eases this July 2025 due to a significant reduction of rice prices. But the Department of Agriculture takes this cautiously– and they are proposing a temporary ban in imports to protect the interests of farmers. Report for TV Patrol.

Talk to anyone in the general public and the likely public perception will be that BOC is notorious for corrupt practices. Meron pa ba public perception surveys of government agencies? Will heads roll? Maybe. Will lasting and meaningful change happen? Sana…

#UPLB Peaceful and organized. Endorsed and supported because corruption is not about you, me, or political color. It is about our shared future which can be brighter. Sadly we are robbed of the resources to help us reach the collective aspirations of a better life and country.

Swings in ag policy: Soon 35% tariff on rice imports is back, import ban for rice extended. Next up for sure is bring NFA role/power back. No hindsight on lessons from past. There are other ways like direct cash assistance to farmers, scholarships for their kids.

We need to support our investigative journalists and the community of citizen monitors and professionals who check abuses of power. It is unacceptable that Dwight and Kaycee needed to spend P30,000 for their probe on Cong. Zaldy Co. We need SEC documents to be free and open!

The best way to gain job security is not being the most knowledgeable person in the room. It's being the most reliable person in the room. Information is abundant. Dependability, helpfulness, and responsiveness are relatively scarce. We count on people who consistently deliver.

Bought some rice from our “suki” sa palengke. Import ban slowly being felt at retail. Combined with slightly lower palay production in 2025 and if import ban imposed again in 2026, then rice retail prices may start to go up in 2026. #tradeoffs #agriculturepolicy #ricepolicy

Genuinely curious, when will the "food security emergency on rice" be lifted? What conditions will facilitate lifting it? And how can future action be improved, and maybe include a better definition of a food security emergency? #policyclarity

Walang kukurap habang nagpapatuloy ang 2026 budget deliberations sa BiCam! Some lawmakers are still shamelessly defending a system where Filipinos must go through politicians to access healthcare. The fix is simple: stop parking health funds with congressmen. Channel them
