With the entry of these major developers, we are confident that we can offer homebuyers quality housing in good locations that will benefit them,
We will intensify efforts to expand the government’s housing program, in accordance with President Marcos’ directive,

Zambales, Bataan fishers question VP Sara's silence on WPS

Bawat bangkang itinataboy, bawat mangingisdang tinatakot, at bawat araw na hindi kami makapangisda ay kabuhayang nawawala at pamilyang nagugutom. Habang kami ang nagdurusa sa panggigipit ng China, karapatan naming malaman kung saan nakatayo ang ating mga pinuno,
For us, the impeachment trial of the Vice President is not only about unexplained and ill-gotten wealth. This is about our livelihood, our safety, and our country's sovereignty. We face the risks at sea, and we deserve leaders who will stand up for us, not multimillionaire traitors,
Madam VP Sara, kaya po ba tahimik kayo sa gitna ng karahasan at kalupitan na sinasapit namin sa West Philippine Sea sa kamay ng Tsina ay dahil nabayaran ng milyones ang inyong katahimikan?"
Habang kami ay hinaharass, tinatakot, pinagnanakawan ng huling isda at itinataboy ng mga barko ng China sa sarili naming karagatan, ang Bise Presidente at ang kanyang asawa ay diumano tumanggap ng milyon-milyon mula sa China. Hindi ba isa itong katrayduran? Hindi dapat ipaliwanag ito sa taumbayan
Ang West Philippine Sea ay atin. Hindi dapat ang milyones ng Tsina ang manaig sa karapatan ng mga mangingisdang Pilipino na mangisda nang malaya at ligtas sa sarili nilang karagatan,

Duterte Faces Tough Legal Battle

If subject for cross-examination na maaaring ang mga sasabihin at itatanong sa kanya para basagin ang kanyang testimonyo kung may personal knowledge siya sa mga information na ito,
At the end of the day, ite-test po natin ang kanilang clashing claim or narrative basis sa mga lumalabas na ebidensya para maging objective po tayo. Susundan natin ang proseso sa korte,

Barbers Questions VP Sara Duterte's Silence on WPS

It is a big disservice to the Filipino people that when you were campaigning you swore to protect the country and the public’s interest. Now the public are asking, why has there been no statement coming from the Vice President?”
[Duterte] hasn’t even given any statement to challenge the aggressiveness of China,

Marcos Confirms DICT Chief Aguda's Resignation Amid 'Ghost

Manases Carpio Defends Personal Credit Card Expenses

These were personal expenditures made with my own money for specific purposes. They should not be misrepresented as expenses of Vice President Sara Duterte or linked to her official functions,
We are now treading on dangerous grounds where your personal credit card expenses can be made public or disclosed by questionable subpoenas and will be used as propaganda or throw shade at your character and integrity,

Senator Padilla Warns of Minority Boycott Amid Constitution

But we won't be offended by that because, to be honest, we're just a small minority from the start. They were the only ones who moved to us. We're not expecting them to be loyal all the way. That's how it is in the Senate,
There's no such discussion [to skip impeachment in the minority], but it may come to that soon,
We, the pro-Constitution, believe that we should obey the Constitution…We don't want it to get bent. If the bending of the law doesn’t stop, we might really reach a point where we will no longer attend,

Napakasakit nang mawala ang aming bunso sa cancer na lymphoma noong 2020. Subalit sinubok uli kami ng panahon at pagkakataon nang ma-diagnose ang aming panganay sa sakit na leukemia noong 2023,
Sana po ay matulungan ninyo kami na madugtungan ang buhay ng nag iisa na naming anak,

Marcos: Ayungin incident may affect ASEAN-China COC talks

And we have to give them a snappy salute for the good work. But it is unfortunate that this happened and it seems to indicate a new phase in escalation in the actions that are being undertaken in the West Philippine Sea,
So, it's really a sticky problem and we're hoping our allies are in the region around the West Philippine Sea who have always supported our international law-based position, will help us in this regard and they are. We are receiving assistance from many, many countries in many different ways. Some of which are new. That we never had these kind of engagements before but it's happening. It's happening now,

Marcos says social media ban for minors a tough decision

Bongbong Marcospresident
First of all, it's not surprising at all that the legislators will really do this and ban whatever it is that we feel is influencing our kids to do these terrible things. Now that we have made a response, we have to look at it further to examine really what are the causes... The question that I always ask when we started discussing this and talking to — hindi ito police problem, hindi ito education problem, this is a psychological problem,
So this is what we're trying to understand. And the answers aren't clear because we're looking not only to what happens in the Philippines, we're looking at what's happening everywhere else in the world because unfortunately, this is a generational problem,
So, the reason that we immediately banned certain ones was that ‘yung mga provider, kung minsan sinasabi nila wala kaming opisina diyan, wala kaming control, wala kaming magagawa, kaya basically it's out of our hands,

Manases Carpiohusband, lawyer
There is nothing illegal about spending my own hard-earned money. No public funds were used for these personal expenses,
At the end of the day, we will test their conflicting claims or narratives against the evidence that emerges so we can remain objective. We will follow the court process,
It is really difficult because the evidence is detailed and supported by documents, government records and private company records. That is a formidable challenge,
Any discussion of these transactions should be based on the actual circumstances, the source of the money, and the purpose of the expenditures — not on insinuations that have no factual basis,
