Diverting Philhealth’s “unutilized” P89.9B government subsidy to the Unprogrammed Fund in violation of the Universal Healthcare Act (and maybe the GAA itself) may create some serious security problems than we can imagine. Why? Soldiers and policemen, just like any government

My favorite excerpt from PBBM’s SONA 2024: “Mga minamahal kong kababayan, lagi po nating LABANAN ANG MALI at ang masama. Lagi po nating IPAGLABAN ANG TAMA at ang mabuti…”

Do not forget the 5% that LGU’s appropriate annually to their local calamity fund (RA10121) which they sparingly use.There could be tens of billions in their coffers combined. That being said, unaffected LGU’s may extend their hands to assist. mb.com.ph/2024/7/24/dbm-…

A “tale” of 2 opening ceremonies - Paris Olympics 2024: A unique Olympic parade along the Seine River with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the background. Manila Olympics 2064: “A startling Olympic parade along the clean and scenic Pasig River from Manila Bay to Laguna de Bay.”

Hindi matuturing na mabuti ang tao, na sa harap ng kasamaan ay walang gagawin, at tatahimik lamang. Kaya naman nilalabanan namin ang paglipat ng P89.9 billion na pera ng philhealth. Kagit anong angulo tignan, mali. Para sa atin lahat ang laban na ito. facebook.com/share/v/aVyXmD…

I hope the SC petition vs the realigned P89.9B Philhealth “excess” funds has emphasized to assail the congressional insertion in the Special Provision under the Uprogrammed Fund of the GAA, thus amending RA 7875 (Health Insurance Act) a Special Law as amended by RA 10606, further

Proud Pinoy! I wonder how many among us stood at attention while the Philippine national anthem was being played as our flag was hoisted alongside and on top of two other flags during Carlos Yulo’s awarding ceremony.

This is one of many reasons why Chiz deserves to be Senate President. In simpler language that non lawyers like me can understand better, what he is saying is, there is no cause of action. The timing is off. newsinfo.inquirer.net/1970654/escude…

We are a unique nation. We support our athletes after they won their medals, not before so they can win them. Government officials scramble to extend financial assistance to flood victims after wasting their tax money to prevent floods.

Good luck to my two former Senate colleagues. I say it with no pun intended. mb.com.ph/2024/8/17/che-…

Alice in Wonderland? She is not Superwoman. She is not Wonder Woman either. She is Guo Hua Ping a.k.a. Alice Leal Guo, a Chinese citizen, an (un)declared billionaire and elected mayor of Bamban, Tarlac. She was issued an arrest order by the Senate for contempt and is being

As a former law enforcer, it is beyond my comprehension why the PNP keeps announcing to the public the progress of their search for Quiboloy. Human or signal intelligence, and even the technical capability of their equipment should be kept to themselves. newsinfo.inquirer.net/1976757/pnp-li…

Comity vs enmity: By tradition and in observance of the time-honored comity between the executive and legislative branches of government, the proposed budgets of the two highest elected officials simply go through the formalities of a quorum call, acknowledgement of resource

Simplifying the national budget: *According to DOF, this year, we are borrowing P4.1 billion a day because our daily income of P11.7 billion is not enough to cover our daily expenses of P15.8 billion. *Last year, we failed to use (as we always do), P1.16 billion of our daily

A friend recently asked, “Ano kaya ang sikreto ng AllCard?” My investigator’s instincts prompted me to interject - “The question should be, sino ba ang sikreto ng AllCard?” With this COA report, any investigation should focus on “SINO” more than “ANO”. bilyonaryo.com/2024/09/03/muk…

Alice will be back in Wonderland soon. Dismissed Bamban Mayor Guo Hua’ping should identify those she bribed to make her escape possible. She should also tell her story from being a Chinese citizen to becoming an elected town mayor, including her POGO connections and protectors.
