ALL UNIVERSITIES should stop this online class foolishness. Huwag niyo nang ipilit ang concept 21st century learning sa bansang may telco duopoly with poor internet infrastructure. Let students focus on quarantining. Let professors and staff get their pay even w/o work.
Tanginang online class din to no dapat this week christmas party na tas nagpapakasaya na mga bata kasi patapos na exams nila at matatapos na school by the end of the week pero tong UP sinagad pa sa 23 eh no puputok na tubig ni Mama Mary pero nagsysynchronous classes ka pa rin

Basically, BBM’s inaugural speech so far is:
Let’s unite. Unity starts with you. Hence, the change you want will be YOUR responsibility, not mine. My job is to unite us. That’s it. Moral support lang ako. Kayo magtatrabaho, kaya kung bumagsak kayo, kasalanan niyo yan. Good luck.
Showtime is definitely taking noontime to a new era by normalizing LGBTQIA+ relationships on TV. The best way to normalize it isn't through dramatic portrayal but through genuine live TV.
MTRCB should start listening to the call of the times, not to deadbeat pastors.
Kris Aquino’s speech brought back the life in me.
Utang na loob. Mother’s instinct. Classic Kris.
And the interview? That was a big clue. Kris was letting Leni talk not only about her big crowds, but also about health. Ibinalik ni Kris ang mga issue sa tahanan. Saktong-sakto.
Funny lang kasi based on my event organizing experience, Hale, Silent Sanctuary, and Mayonnaise used to do events together and you can book them as a package. Tapos ngayon, Hale & Silent Sanc na lang ang napunta kay BBM.
Skl din na during that event, Mayonnaise ang best set 😉
ILOILO
Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas and Iloilo Governor Toto Defensor both defended their seats. This is no surprise when Leni won the province as well.
BBM supporters have been occupying spaces lately (UP Diliman, Powerplant) to somewhat prove a point: that these spaces breed exclusion for people like them. Aasarin nila tayo hanggang makakuha sila ng soundbites para i-label na elitista ang pink.
The key? Dedma lang.
“I trust the Filipino.”
BBM picked up a standard Republican line: less government, more self-sufficiency. Playing towards the bawal ang tamad mentality of Pinoys.
In another context, it sounds like his first approach is to relieve his government of blame for any failures.
Alam niyo, pagbigyan niyo na si Lyca. Hindi pa naman siya botante. At saka kung inaway niyo siya parang inaway niyo na rin buong purok nila. Kita niyo yung vlog ni Karen at kung paano nila minamahal si Lyca doon. Mga tao rin yan at mga botante, hindi mga bobo at bayaran.
idk how to feel, but while Robin Padilla is out there looking unqualified for being a Senator, he's now also one crucial vote for divorce and now same-sex unions
So the scoop is Willie Revillame wants to takeover Eat Bulaga? And he's partnering with Romeo Jalosjos (the ex-con) to kick Tuviera and TVJ out? And they're using divide-and-conquer tactics by wooing Jose, Wally, and Allan K to join their side?

NEGROS OCCIDENTAL
Gov. Bong Lacson defends his seat as Leni also wins Negros Occidental as a province. However, Leni lost the province's major city, Bacolod.
In the next 10 days, a possible momentum stopper would be a Duterte endorsement of Bongbong Marcos. That would recharge the narrative of unity in BBM's favor. So when this happens, the best counter is to show bigger crowds on-ground and more conversion stories online.
Nagsimula kami kay Mayor Isko dahil gusto naming baguhin ang bansa namin.
Hindi nagbago ang kagustuhan naming baguhin ang bansa, pero malaki na ang pinagbago ng kandidatong minsan ay sinuportahan namin.
Our message is as clear as day: si Leni ang mukha ng pagbabago.
Official Statement of former officials and members of Aksyon Demokratiko, former Isko Moreno presidential campaign volunteers, and former youth organizers at Moreno's remarks during his Easter Sunday press conference with several other presidential candidates
What BBM will be doing today to "stay relevant"
Expect an ad blast by BBM tonight. While the
#PiliPinasDebates2022
is ongoing, he will be airing his two new ads on jobs and infrastructure. Why? Because the topic of tonight's debate is the pandemic and economic recovery.
CAMSUR
Former Congressman Nonoy Andaya, who ran as CamSur Gov when Leni decided to run for President, lost to Luigi Villafuerte, 53% to 45%.
Meanwhile, Naga City remains an LP stronghold.
Leni, of course, carried this province.
This is a good sign because the BBM camp suddenly shifted gears. This is considered as the first “attack” of the official BBM camp against Leni. This tells you that 1) they concede that they have to change tones and 2) they might have seen something with Leni’s conversion numbers
A day after Vice President Leni Robredo’s grand campaign rally in Bacolod City, Marcos camp sends press release about her latest net satisfaction rating based on a Social Weather Stations survey.

@RexRemitio
Election stories:
Today we get Fernando and Evardone. The significance here is that we have the Gov of Bulacan, the place where BBM began his campaign, and the Gov of Eastern Samar, a supposedly anti-LP province due to the failures of Yolanda.
Parang may kailangang umattend na ng debate.
John Amores, the NCAA player who started a fistfight on the court, was caught attempting to shoot someone today. He's a PBA player now. He was given a chance to redeem himself. Now he's a fugitive.
Oh and btw, Sara Duterte sent him a letter of support before. Funny.
BULACAN
Daniel Fernando and Alex Castro both won as Governor and Vice Governor, respectively. They went against BBM-Sara endorsed candidates. Leni lost in Bulacan.
ZAMBOANGA CITY
Incumbent Mayor Beng Climaco, who ran as Congresswoman for the 1st District of Zamboanga City, lost by less than 20,000 votes. Leni lost in Zamboanga City.
In one day, you have Sara’s spokesperson saying she wants the DND while you have Bongbong saying she’ll be DepEd.
The unholiness of the unholy alliance is showing. Di pa nakaupo, may signs of internal tension na.
And mind you, mas mataas mandato ni Sara kay BBM ah.
Presidential Advisers are classified as Salary Grade 31 -- equivalent to the salaries of Members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Cabinet. That's P273k per month. Pwede na nating sabihing tayo ang nagpaaral kay Seve 🤩
JUST IN: President Bongbong Marcos names Director Paul Soriano as his presidential adviser for creative communications, Malacañang confirms. He is set to take his oath today.
Story soon on
Natawa naman ako sa interview sa bagong BIR chief. Need na raw mag-lifestyle check na rin ng mga citizens. It’s always the average citizen being penalized for their success. Their collection policy has always hurt small business and the rags-to-riches story of many Pinoys. Hay.
A VP who succeeds the President can only be re-elected to the presidency if she has served no more than 4 years as Pres.
By June 30, 2024, should Sara ever succeed BBM for any reason, she will be allowed for re-election as Pres.
There’s a sinister timing to this resignation.
I can’t believe we still have to deal with the MTRCB summoning Its Showtime over a scene between Vice Ganda and Ion Perez. What a wrong message to send in this day and age.
taumbayan: so magkano nga yung sinovac?
gov't: may terrorista sa UP
taumbayan: ok, maiba na lang. Kamusta na yung kaso ni Nuezca?
gov't: may terrorista sa UP
taumbayan: ang kulit. Yung PhilHealth scandal? Nabalik na ba yung pera?
gov't: may terrorista sa UP
mga inutil
12NN: Baste withdraws Vice Mayor COC
3PM: Sara withdraws Mayor COC
4PM: Bong Go hints on his candidacy ending.
All signs point to Sara for VP to BBM. PDP-Laban slate will withdraw to give way to the two. Duterte will have to endorse BBM-Sara.
So nagkaisa rin sila.
Skyway used to be this miracle road for southies. For an extra fee, we could get from Bicutan to Makati in no time, with no traffic. Today, it's just a 50-peso scam where you pay more with the same kind of traffic it promised to avoid. A bad business model, imo.
If we expected the 2nd semester of online learning to get better because of learning from past mistakes, that won't be the case because of this government's incompetence. I don't think our admins are prepared for a resurgence of Covid cases, moreso an ECQ.
Suspend classes now.
This UPCAT batch would see the black cloth over buildings like Melchor and CSWCD; the calls for democratic governance around campus; the pride flags flying over Maskom and Music; and the classic graffiti around campus.
Hopefully this awakens something in their conscience.
Thousands of students lined up in various testing centers around UP Diliman this morning to take the UPCAT, the first since the pandemic hit in 2020. The exam began at 6:50am.

DINAGAT ISLANDS
Governor Kaka Bag-Ao, who famously took down the Ecleo dynasty in 2019, failed to defend her seat, this time against Vice Governor Nilo Demerey. Leni also lost in Dinagat Islands.
lasallian friends - uy ano kayo option 1 or option 2 (para sa schedule changes)
ateneo friends - uy sad moved ang sem natin!
up friends - hahaha *posts positive antigen result* *writes paper* *reviews for exam* *cries while clicking submit*
MISAMIS ORIENTAL
Rep. Juliette Uy and CDO Mayor Oscar Moreno, who both ran for governor, both lost.
Rep. Rufus Rodriguez wins again as CDO 2nd District Representative.
Uy and Rodriguez were ROSA, Oca was Leni-Kiko.
Leni lost in MisOr.
To those salty about Sara, Bong, and Benhur meeting Leni at her house:
This would have been how it looked like if Leni won the presidency: trapos coalescing around her, asking for support, & she would have had to fulfill the role of power broker.
This is what power looks like.
Just finished watching the film. I love how it all boiled down to the idea that nothing compares to the kind of trust a man gives to his barber to hold a blade upon your head -- that in the end, even the most powerful depend on the working class to have their hair done.
Manifesting that Boxing Gold, please.
This year is the end of our heartbreak streak with Olympic Boxing.
Para kay Onyok. Para sa henerasyong lumaki kay Manny.
Ito na yung literal na suntok sa buwan natin.
We aren't telling much about the story of 1-Rider partylist because they're not in our algorithms. This partylist rose to fame because of Col. Bosita's FB and YouTube pages where he would help motorists who get abused by traffic enforcers. Clear and simple populist branding.
LOOK: Retired Police Col. Bonifacio Bosita of 1-Rider party-list is now here at the PICC Forum Tent for the proclamation of winning party-list groups. |
@iamjelsantos
SAMAR (Northern, Eastern, and Samar Province)
Gov. Ben Evardone and Gov. Edwin Ongchuan of Eastern and Northern Samar both defended their seats. They were the two governors from Samar island who endorsed Leni.
Leni won in E. and N. Samar, but lost in Samar Province.
CEBU
Jun Davide slimly defends his seat as Vice Governor. His running-mate, Ace Durano (who backed out on endorsing Leni), lost terribly against Gwen Garcia.
In Cebu City, Margot Osmeña lost to Mike Rama. Local party BOPK only won 4/16 councilor seats.
Leni lost Cebu.
RT-ing this again because I have to emphasize how much this is a breath of fresh air:
Cynthia Villar has been virtually unopposed in the Senate, maybe because most if not all are bankrolled by her for their campaigns.
Raffy Tulfo standing up to her tells a good lot about him.
‘Wag lang po i-take over ‘yung mga farms’
A heated debate ensued between Senators Raffy Tulfo and Cynthia Villar when the topic of private developers converting farmlands into residential and commercial spaces was raised during the national budget deliberation.
DAVAO DEL NORTE
Alvarez wins as 1D Rep while his PDR slate only won Governor and 3/10 SP seats. Far cry from his sweep against Hugpong in 2019 in Gov, Vice Gov, SP, and both congressional seats.
Leni only got 39k votes, just as much as those who attended her rally in Tagum.
PANGASINAN
De Venecia keeps keeps the 4th District of Pangasinan.
Former governor Oca Orbos, who switched to Leni when his brother (who heads IM Pilipinas) switched to Leni too, is defeated in a landslide against Art Celeste for 1D Rep.
Leni lost Pangasinan by a landslide.
I came across a Duterte Legacy ad on YouTube which made me realize: we never had the chance to debate about his legacy during the election season. He gets to leave unquestioned. And he gets to dictate how he gets to be remembered. All because he kept his hands off the election.
So all other ABS-CBN shows will now carry the line “Mga Kapamilya, Kapatid, at Ka-A2Z” while It’s Showtime will be the only show that will say “Mga Kapamilya, Kapuso, at Ka-A2Z”
Pretty cool, tbh.
Tbh natutuwa ako sa mga memes na confiscated ang mga lato-lato ng mga bata. That was Pogs nung time namin. Akala ko kids would never experience that ever again. Now we'll see a generation of kids who would start scratching their heads and ask: anong karapatan nilang kunin yun?
MAGUINDANAO AND SULTAN KUDARAT
Toto Mangudadatu, who shifted his support to Leni, loses his bid for governor of Maguindanao. His wife, Sharifa, also loses her bid for governor of Sultan Kudarat.
Leni lost Maguindanao by 40k votes and SK by a landslide.
Not gonna lie, seeing Twitter being this candid and conversational (rather than being a cesspool of hot takes) takes me back to why I came here in the first place more than a decade ago. This is what Twitter used to be about. 🥲
icb some don’t get it…all i’m really saying is that this has zero narrative to it and it’s probably, at best, a net zero where no one is converted at all.
Unless you’re Kamala Harris, you can’t meme your way to the Senate. Not this way.
And yes, pupunahin ko talaga yan because I’m done with losing for the fourth time in a row and you should be too, and pointing out the reasons why is something no one wants to read about but should. 😬
Here's a thread of what happened to partylists we love, hate, and the likely faces we'll see in Congress (based on the current numbers).
📸 Rappler, AP, various socmed accounts
Now what’s the value of the Alvarez Davao machinery? Well it adds to the Mindanao formula that Leni sorely needs to win. So far she has gained key endorsements in Zamboanga, CDO, and now Davao del Norte. This Davao command vote might mitigate the Solid Davao Sara will deliver.
and let me just say, a Senator matters the most when he or she votes. Let me just put that out there. It's the voting record that should be a testament to a legislator's character.
We also have to keep pounding on 2 important videos: Duterte's trashing of BBM and his preference of a lawyer, alluding to Leni. This will co-opt the endorsement's value. And maybe run a populist line: sila, unity ng pulitiko. Tayo, unity ng taumbayan.
Loren Legarda, whose political career began when ABS-CBN gave her a platform as a journalist, chose to sit quietly and allow her home network to vanish.
Duwag. Walang utang na loob. Tuta.
The Marcos brand of governance is governing through public relations. No real accomplishments, just the perception of it. And somehow, with the right mix of things, it works.
I call it a postmodernist model of governance. Its governing without having to govern at all.
The implied assignment for Makati here is simple: make sure Taguig gets blamed for all of this, maintain steady relations with Embo residents, and then endorse a mayoral candidate who can promise to return these Yellow Cards and extend the same to the rest of Taguig.
Embo residents used to be Makatizens until a Supreme Court decision in 2021 on the land row dispute between the two cities awarded to Taguig jurisdiction over the 10 affected Embo barangays, including Bonifacio Global City.

Di na nga lang ito anti-poor policy eh. Literal na atake na to sa mismong itsura at kultura ng UP. Sino bang nagsabing pangit yung mga mesa at kusina sa labas ng mga tindahan? Yun nga yung karakter ng campus eh.
BALITA: Binalaan ng mga opisyales ng UP Diliman mula sa opisina ng OVCCA at OVCPD kasama ng mga security guard ang mga manininda na hindi na raw papayagan ang paglalatag ng mga mesa at kusina sa labas ng kanilang tindahan.
Budget cuts mean:
Kulang na slots sa CRS kasi kulang sa Prof ✅
Malalang backlog sa UPD PsycServ kasi walang pambayad ✅
Agawan sa SLAS grants dahil kakarampot lang ang pondo ✅
Ang budget ay repleksyon ng prayoridad ng estado. Halatang wala silang paki sa sektor ng edukasyon!
Leni's playing politics -- something necessary for her to compete alongside everyone else. This is what happens when there are those who admire her for her integrity and when there are those who clamor for pragmatism. It's a big trade-off, but let's see.
okay we’re going to engage here: some of yall are saying Bong Revilla did the budots, but he can do it because it fits his brand as a matinee idol-type na malalapitan at makakasayaw ng masa.
These guys? That ain’t them. Anyone who sees it knows they’re “trying” something.
LOOK: Senator Leila De Lima will run as the lead nominee of the Mamamayang Liberal (ML) party list, the sectoral wing of the Liberal Party, Erin Tañada, the party's executive VP, announced on Friday.
De Lima's co-nominees are former Reps. Teddy Baguilat and Tañada. |
Honestly, Sen. Loren sounded like the journalist she once was who’s just so frustrated because she can see through a bullshit story. So the way how she asked for details: childhood memories, friends, and her life before being Mayor, all of it is basically trying to get the story.
Honestly, this is a W for Marcos. Give him credit for this. Zelenskyy needed us to have that symbolic image that small nations with aggressors are willing to come together and stand up against unwarranted aggression.
This is in no way an escalation. It’s doing what’s right.
I arrived in the Philippines and met with President
@BongBongMarcos
for the first time in the history of our bilateral relations.
I am grateful to the Philippines for supporting Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, for its clear position on Russia's aggression
Point is you risk alienating a community who looks up to her as their quintessential success story. Ang daling sabihin na kinukutya si Lyca kasi lang hindi siya kasing-yaman nila, na hindi niya sila ka-level, na singer /lang/ siya. Nope.
Yung Duterte magic ng 2016, napunta rin sa walang makinarya at taumbayan lang ang puhunan. Sa mga ex-DDS nung 2016, oras na para sumama ulet sa isang malaking kilusan. We are the real political machinery.
Let's fix this country.
#LeniRobredo2022
Again, this is in case the worst case happens, where BBM gets Duterte's endorsement. But if it goes to Isko, another logical choice for PRRD, then we're going to have to keep doing what we're doing and challenge BBM's "unity" which will be split wide open by then.
Incidents like these are a chilling reminder of the fact that our campus lacks lighting, CCTVs, and funding for our campus police force. Not to mention that some of our security guards are underpaid and have labor issues with the admin.
This is the state of campus security.
URGENT ADVISORY
8 July 2024
Around 8 p.m. today, the UP Diliman (UPD) Police received a report about a stabbing incident at the UPD National Science Complex. The victim was immediately brought to a hospital. The Quezon City Police District has now taken over the case.
"We were disinformed" is an excuse for being unable to communicate well. It was always "how to fight disinformation" instead of "how to tell better stories."
Misplaced priorities for an army of campaigners. We didn't need to win arguments, we just had to tell a better story.
I got invested with the Makati-Taguig issue last night that I realized that a bunch of social services based in D2 will also be affected by the transfer.
This one reshapes the issue from being a mere game of political interests for the Binays to a genuine concern for citizens.
Ito talaga yung making use of her personality as an advantage. Si Leni lang, siguro bukod kay Leody, ang kayang sumakay ng bangka, umangkas sa motor, sumabit sa jeep, o tumayo sa bus -- dahil ang biyahe niya, biyahe rin natin.
10 hours apart, two shootings in Texas and Ohio.
And there are still people who exist who believe that the right to carry a gun is the best way to prevent gun violence.
They'll come in trying to prove two things:
1) That BBM supporters are capable of being as wealthy as regular pink mall-goers, and
2) That they're sick and tired of not being able to enjoy a mall just because of politics.
Tbh, may point sila. Kaya a standoff won't do well.
ACT-CIS and 1-Rider represent the idea that every Filipino wants to be on the side of the siga. Kung kakampi mo ang siga, walang aabuso sayo. Hence, we vote for siga figures like Tulfo and Bosita. This also explains the viability of Eleazar's senatorial bid that ran on that line.
