There is something deeply unsettling about the silence—and worse, the spin—surrounding the disappearance of more than 100 "sabongeros" allegedly linked to the vast, shadowy cockfighting empire of Charlie "Atong" Ang. These men vanished without a trace, their families left to grieve in limbo. Yet the story seems to be slowly dying in the mainstream, as if someone powerful is working overtime to bury the truth....

By all accounts, House Bill No. 14, filed by Speaker Martin Romualdez and backed by Tingog Reps. Jude Acidre and Andrew Julian Romualdez, is a much-needed step in the right direction. Expanding crop insurance to cover not just rice and corn, but also high-value crops, livestock, aquaculture, farm machinery, and post-harvest infrastructure, is a timely move—especially in a country as climate-vulnerable and disaster-prone as the Philippines....

The Senate Should Not Trifle With Sara Duterte’s Impeachment It is not just the surveys—though 78 percent of Filipinos, according to recent polling, want Vice President Sara Duterte to respond to the allegations against her. It is not just the numbers. It is the unmistakable mood on the ground. Ask the public utility drivers navigating Manila’s daily gridlock. Ask the young professionals, the overworked call center agents, the public school teachers....

As the 2028 elections draw closer, Vice President Sara Duterte remains a prominent contender. Her defenders are quick to paint every investigation or public scrutiny as mere “political persecution”—a supposed campaign to derail her rise, all because of her continuing popularity. But let’s be clear: “popular support” is not a shield against accountability. Not anymore. Today’s Filipino voters are no longer swayed by overused political excuses....

As 2028 draws near, I would much rather see a guilt-free president—one who commands respect without baggage—than a leader hounded by unresolved questions of impropriety. A presidency clouded by lingering doubts, like a Damocles sword hanging over the nation’s head, will only paralyze governance. A besieged president, no matter how charismatic or popular, becomes vulnerable—hostaged by powerful interest groups, forced to negotiate from a position of weakness....

Neglect and Indifference to Metro Manila's Huge Garbage Problem. Twenty-four years after its enactment, local government units still struggle to implement the Solid Waste Management Law. So far, eighty complaints have been filed with the Ombudsman for non-compliance with the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2001, or RA 9003, which was signed into law in 2001. One of the most alarming situations is the Manila city government's failure to settle over P561 million in debt to garbage collector Leonel Waste Management Corporation....

In a bid to stay relevant and responsive, Department of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon has floated several high-profile proposals to address Metro Manila’s worsening traffic congestion—including reviving the odd-even vehicle scheme. On paper, this sounds reasonable: fewer cars on the road should mean faster traffic flow. But in practice, it’s a solution that risks doing more harm than good. Here’s why....
