What PCO Cayetano should do is be honest and listen to the public pulse, admit the government’s failings, and commit to do better for the rest of BBM’s term. But of course, he won’t, just like his boss.

Imagine, Cayetano is now the 6th PCO secretary. This suggests a deep crack in this admin’s communications strategy, a wide gap between gov’t and the people, something that, I’m afraid, Lino will not be able to fix.

Ginawang open at transparent daw ang bicam, pero may unconstitutional provisions pa rin ang GAA 2026. Sino pa ba ang pwedeng asahan?

Sayang talaga si Dizon. He’s been weakened by the systemic corruption in the DPWH. He should have just stayed at the DOTr.

It’s too late. A late-term cabinet reshuffle (Dizon back to DOTr, Lopez to DPWH) won’t lift Marcos Jr.’s negative performance ratings. The public has already judged this admin.

This government should not give Bonoan the kid-glove treatment.

Could this regime be exploiting tensions with China to justify authoritarian measures that would extend its hold on power? I hope not.

What a sham! There’s no local warrant, only an ICC warrant. Yet the Filipino people are the ones footing the bill for the largest reward in the country’s history!

How can we trust Congress to get the 2027 budget right when the GAAs for the past three years have been defective? And then this president is just going to sign it again?

The peso is in a free fall, weakening sharply and hitting record lows.

Did VP Sara accept Mon Tulfo’s seemingly insincere apology?

Sonny Angara and Grace Poe were Zaldy Co’s counterparts in the Senate when the 2024 and 2025 budgets were finalized. They have a lot to answer for. And yes, there was a bicam, but were there smaller, secret meetings? The public deserves to know.

While waiting for these rain catchment and water storage facilities to finish, if funding even comes through, daanin muna sa balde, ayon sa pangulo. Nature-based solutions start at home daw kasi.

The growing number of joint projects between GMA, ABS-CBN, and TV5 is counterproductive. They reduce real competition and make free TV feel like one big coordinated monopoly. When major players co-produce and cross-air instead of compete, viewers lose variety and the industry loses innovation.

OMG! The Philippine peso just hit a fresh all-time low of ₱63.361 = $1 today, October 21, down ~27–30 centavos from yesterday’s close of ₱63.09. That’s a ~0.4–0.5% drop in one day and the weakest level on record. Source: BAP
