I find it outrageous that this baseless and self-serving comment by Senator Rodante Marcoleta against journalists has gone unchallenged. Huwag palampasin please ang mga ganito dahil tiyak nyan, as this political slugfest gets worse, media na naman ang tatamaan. Nakalimutan na yata

This is on top of the travel tax collected from passengers: Php1,620 ($28) for economy class travelers, Php2,700 ($47) for first class. (Yes, you are taxed for LEAVING this hopelessly corrupt country run by the family of the most corrupt Philippine president EVER.)

Lest we forget, Bongbong Marcos is the Philippines’ OG nepobaby. The billions his family stole have not been fully recovered. They still owe govt billions in taxes. And he roared back to power in 2022 on the back of massive disinfo coupled with Duterte’s support. #NeverForget

When accountability fails, the social media mob -- and I use that word in its good sense -- takes matter into their own hands. #TikTokVigilantes in the Philippines are doing what the government should have been doing -- to hold corrupt officials to account.

The well-reported, well-documented, well-debated, and livestreamed genocide in Gaza - tens of 1000s killed, including 246 journalists - should compel journos to take a firmer moral & professional stand.

In tourist areas in the Philippines, IDF soldiers on R&R are not shy about declaring themselves IDF. And in at least one case, on Siargao island, their presence has rubbed locals the wrong way. So, yeah, a bit tricky, innit? (as the Brits would say).

Not unique to the Philippines, of course, but our politicians have normalized conflicts of interest like this. And 🇵🇭 accountability systems are so broken idea of checks and balance is a joke.
Legacy of corruption,political patronage that go all the way back to dictator Marcos Sr.
