DON’T PANIC SA INITIAL RESULTS NG ELEKSYON. Unang pumapasok sa canvassing ng Comelec ang Solid North regions — Region 1, Region 2, CAR, at yung mga balwarte ni Marcos sa Region 3. Makakahabol pa ang Robredo-Pangilinan tandem kapag pumasok na ang iba pang ERs from Bicol, 4A, etc.

#PasayIsPink
rally (412,000 as of 7:30 PM) is higher than the crowd who attended President Rodrigo Duterte’s miting de avance back in 2016, which only reached 300,000. The Robredo campaign can now pull off a landslide victory.

“Nasa bawat opisyal na ‘yan kung gusto nilang ilabas ang SALN.” - Marcos Jr
FALSE. SALN’s public release IS NEVER dependent on one official’s decision. Under RA 3019 and RA 6713, ALL appointed and elected public officials are MANDATED to submit and declare in public their SALN.
A documentary hosted by Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes did not mince words: they explicitly said that Marcos’ martial law led to Filipino migration, when the dictator’s solution to economic crisis is to “export” Filipino workers.
And this is being shown two days before May 9.
This is soft—but at the same time, it's outrageous.
All of it happened because of Rodrigo Duterte.
Leila de Lima had to tell her mother a lie to hide what Rodrigo Duterte did to her.
This is the painful separation that families of political prisoners face. Remember Baby River?
WATCH: Always believing daughter Leila was just in the USA studying, De Lima gives her 90-yo ailing mother Norma dollar bills. De Lima last visited mom in 2019 on a court furlough.
The charges were filed against M/Sgt. Rey Pogoso and Cpl. Bryan Balajay, both detailed at the Police Community Precinct 1 in Imus, Cavite, Col. Christopher Olazo, Cavite police director, said.
As the campaign reaches its homestretch, suddenly one of our volunteers in Quezon has gone missing. Dante Gatdula, the head of the Robredo People’s Council in Candelaria, Quezon, went missing a few days ago. He still hasn’t surfaced to this hour. Hindi pa siya tumatawag o umuuwi.
Unpopular opinion: the Aquinos were also at fault for the return of the Marcoses to Malacañang. Cory’s decision on Feb 25 1986 to allow the Marcoses to leave (she even made it her only condition) was already a huge mistake. Though they also filed cases and passed laws (RA 10368).
CONTEXT: The crowd estimate for today’s

rally (750,000 as of 8:15 PM) is higher than the crowd who attended President Rodrigo Duterte’s miting de avance back in 2016, w/c only peaked to 600,000. The Robredo campaign can now pull off a decisive victory.

One of Percy Lapid’s last videos was about the condemnation of lawyers and universities of Lorraine Badoy’s red-tagging of Judge Malagar. Nine hours after, he was brutally murdered in Las Piñas. Very chilling.
#StopTheKillingsPH
Unlike that propaganda director, my father was in Malacañang on the night the Marcos dictatorship fell. That was the first story about People Power that he told me. He didn’t have a torch—but he was so hungry he rushed to the Palace kitchen to eat the food that the Marcoses left.
I am somehow flabbergasted to know that so many from the crowd who goes to BGC to shop or drink a doesn't really know that
BGC was once a military camp called Fort Bonifacio where countless Marcos political enemies were detained during Martial Law. Some were also tortured there.
Tangina ni Karla Estrada. Nag-post ng reel sa Instagram featuring her photos as a PH Army reservist, tapos ang bg song dun ay...
"Ang Bagong Hukbong Bayan," literally an anthem for the NPA. (Bahagi ito ng 1976 album na "Bangon!")
Di ko alam kung matatawa o maiiyak ako eh 😭😭😭
The CCTV footage does not really bother me. Because it does not change anything about the main point: How the PNP brutally manhandled Awra.
NOTHING, as in nothing, will justify such warrantless and atrocious arrest, in the same way that drugs are not a reason for cops to kill.
Kasi kapag tinuro nang maayos ang saysay ng buhay at pagkamatay ng GOMBURZA, ni Rizal, Bonifacio, Del Pilar, at ng marami pa nating mga bayani...
Matututo tayong magtanong, magsalita, magbalikwas. Matututo tayong lumaban.
At iyon ang pinaka-ayaw ng mga nasa kapangyarihan.
after watching gomburza, quinestion ko lang why we were just told to memorize the dates of their birth and death instead of explaining to us what exactly they were fighting for, how it all started, and how their deaths became one of the triggers of the revolution

Why are policemen taking off Leni-Kiko tarpaulins INSIDE the volunteer headquarters in Santiago City, Isabela? North Korea na ba tayo? Bawal nang magpahayag ng pagsuporta? Dahil ba “BBM-Sara” country ang Isabela?

Inaalis ang tarpaulin. Binubura ang mural. Binubura ang kasaysayan. Binubusalan ang malayang media. A Marcos-Duterte regime will accelerate our further descent into fascism — and into a totalitarian regime where rights, identity, and memory are erased.
The signs are everywhere.
Latest issues in the Marcos-Duterte dystopia:
1. Police kills 15-yr-old in Rizal
2. Marcos admin junks WFH option
3. "Traffic is a sign of booming economy"
4. Inflation
5. DepEd orders removal of class wall designs
6. 159K classroom shortage
7. China attacks PCG in Ayungin Shoal
BREAKING: Martial law survivor, multi-awarded novelist, and writer Lualhati Bautista passed away this morning. She was 77. Bautista's seminal novels, "Dekada '70," "Desaparesidos," and "Bata Bata, Paano Ka Ginawa?" portrayed repression and poverty under the Marcos dictatorship.

2. Duterte WAS corrupt. Hello, Pharmally?
3. Duterte WAS a reason *for* armed struggle.
4. Duterte HAS ill-gotten wealth. See PCIJ reports.
Do not compare FPRRD and FPFEM. It is far beyond imagination.
Digong is not a dictator.
Digong is not corrupt.
Digong finished his term.
Digong has not caused a revolution.
And finally, Digong doesn't have any illegal wealth.
Do you know what radicalizes our people?
It's when the mass murderers who masterminded Oplan Tokhang and its blood trail of 30,000 killings are not yet imprisoned.
It's when Bato dela Rosa, Rodrigo Duterte, and their accomplices in crimes against humanity are still scot-free.
To the Filipino people: WATCH THIS VIDEO. AND SHARE IT. Tell the people that this is what Marcos Jr & his cronies are doing while we all suffer from exorbitant price of everything. While many of us suffer from hunger and poverty. While a pandemic rages on.

You won the elections through DISINFORMATION. You are rewriting Martial Law history through DISINFORMATION. Your government now relies on DISINFORMATION and state propaganda, too.

#PulisAngTerorista
Sa mga kaibigan, taga-suporta, at fans ni Awra: LET THIS RADICALIZE YOU.
'Di na bago ang ganitong pandarahas ng PNP. Ganito ang araw-araw na kalbaryo ng mga "kalaban" ng PNP: drug suspect, aktibista, kritiko, Lumad, mahihirap. Kung hindi kinakaladkad nang walang awa, pinapatay.
Do not be misled. The Bagong Pilipinas rally in Luneta and the Davao 'rally against charter change' do not aim to uplift our lives. It's just a show of force among the squabbling Marcos-Romualdez and Duterte-Arroyo factions. Both factions are detrimental to our national interest.
Rodrigo Duterte destroyed Philippine media. Journalist friends will agree with me here. Most newsrooms went on a silent mode since 2016, fearing that they would suffer the fate of ABS-CBN, Rappler, and the Inquirer. Duterte cronies also got hold of some of these media companies.
Dear fellow Filipinos,
As we look at

2. FACT: Magnanakaw ang mga Marcos.
3. FACT: Fake ang diploma ni Marcos Jr sa Oxford. 2015 pa ito naisiwalat.
4. FACT: Convicted tax evader si Marcos Jr
Tanga lang tulad mo ang magsasabing fake news yan.

What this elections made me (and all of us) realize: hindi lahat ng magulang, tama. Hindi lahat ng guro, nag-iisip. At hindi lahat ng awtoridad, dapat sundin.
The Manila Central Post Office, which is now up in flames, is not merely a relic of neoclassical architecture. It has been always also the site, along with Liwasang Bonifacio, of huge anti-Marcos protests in the 1980s — like this photo from Sept. 21, 1983.

Marcos Jr’s biggest red flag on farmers: Masagana 99 was a DISASTROUS program for agriculture. It brought environmental destruction due to heavy reliance on pesticides, it left more than 800 banks bankrupted after 1986, and it never achieved any rice self-sufficiency for farmers.
Confirmed man ang haka-haka o hindi, ito ang totoo: CONVICTED criminal si Imelda Marcos. Mandarambong at mamamatay-tao ang mga Marcos. Paulit-ulit natin itong sabihin, ipakalat, patambulin sa mga online & offline spaces. Alalahanin natin palagi ang libo-libong mga biniktima nila.
Simplehan natin ang punto.
Ang Hamas ay produkto ng ilang dekada ng karahasan ng Israel sa Palestine. Nabuo ito noong 1987 at naging pangunahing pwersa pagkatapos ng Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) at Fatah.
Simpleng terorista nga lang ba ang Hamas?
Pag-isipan natin.
1. Manila Bay reclamation (POGO Island in Cavite, SMC airport in Bulacan, etc)
2. Destructive Build3x projects
3. Killings, red-tagging of land and envi rights defenders

Pwede kayo magdebate buong araw kung bayani ba si Ninoy para sa inyo. Pero alam natin ang nangyari. Ikinulong, hinatulan, at pinatay siya ng rehimeng Marcos. Para tratuhin ng mga loyalista ni FM Jr ang rebulto niya nang ganito ay pambabastos sa lahat ng mga pinatay ng diktadura.
Philippines in 1986. Sri Lanka in 2022. Some things don’t change — and ousting thieving, corrupt dictators remains the only viable option for the peoples of the world.
STEM pa rin ang focus ng “education reforms” ni Marcos Jr at Duterte. Never mind other strands such as HUMSS, which may empower more students to go against them. Neoliberal footprints all over again.

Even if you deface and defile a thousand more Ninoy statues elsewhere in this country, you cannot twist history and truth to your favor.
Ninoy died as a martyr. The Marcos dictatorship's military killed him. And the people laid him to rest as a hero.

Rumors of an alleged destabilization plot, or coup, was rife today. Talks of troop movements within Camp Aguinaldo and Fort Bonifacio went around along with photos of tanks and 6x6 trucks moving around these camps.

Hindi lahat ng mga kakampink, elitista. Hindi lahat ng tibak, ginagawang punching bag ang mga kakampink. Hindi lahat ng kumakain sa Wolfgang at Wildflower, matapobre. Hindi lahat ng Twitter people, hindi lumulubog sa masa. Hindi lahat ng hindi kaliwa, liberal.

Remember how the crony capitalism of the Marcos dictatorship led to the severe depletion of PH forest cover (more than half of it was lost under Marcos Sr). Remember Enrile and his logging empire.

Why? Simple: They didn’t pursue enough justice. They should have padlocked them or passed a law banning them perpetually from running for public office. They didn’t even bother to reveal the mastermind behind Ninoy’s murder—although Cory investigated and sent to jail his killers.
