“We should draw the line kung saan ka mag-strategize…Yung mali, mali.”

Former Senator and staunch Duterte critic Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes IV calls out former Vice President and now Naga City Mayor Atty. Leni Robredo after she said that they should be more “pragmatic” rather than being a “purist” when dealing with other political camps who don’t share their views.

Trillanes’ remarks come amid reports that their Opposition colleagues Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan and Senator Bam Aquino may join the Senate Majority Bloc which would also include pro-Duterte Senators once the 20th Congress convenes on July 28, 2025. RONALD SIONGCO/GDM

“Wag kayo gagaya sa b***ka girl”

Social media personality Cherry White reminds her more than 6.5 million Facebook followers to not emulate her recent actions after she surrendered her driver’s license to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Friday, July 18, 2025.

This was in compliance with the 90-day preventive suspension that she received from LTO for reckless driving in connection with a viral video that showed her operating a vehicle while seated in a lounging posture with her other leg raised.

LTO says White has “admitted her mistake, apologized and cooperated with the LTO Intelligence and Investigation Division in the conduct of the probe.”

Acting Assistant Secretary and LTO Chief Atty. Greg G. Pua, Jr. adds they “appreciate the humility on the part” of the online influencer and “hope that we would find an ally in her in promoting road safety.” RONALD SIONGCO/GDM

“Okay lang yan. We welcome his opinion”

Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief General Nicolas Torre III welcomes the opinion of former President Rodrigo Roa Duterte after the latter called the alleged moves to link him to the ‘missing sabungeros’ case as “preposterous.”

“There are 110 million Filipinos in the country today and there are 110 and 1 opinion available sa lahat ng mga Pilipino. Okay lang yan. We welcome his opinion. It is really a demonstration that freedom and democracy and especially human rights are very well and very much alive in this country,” says Torre in an interview with members of media on July 17, 2025.

The Duterte patriarch’s reaction over the controversial matter was relayed by his daughter Vice President Sara Duterte during a chat with their supporters following her visit to his detention unit at The Hague, Netherlands.

“Sinabihan ko siya there is an attempt to link him to the ‘missing sabungeros’ case. Sabi niya, ‘that is preposterous,’” said the vice president in a video posted on July 15, 2025. RONALD SIONGCO/GDM

The Palace rejected Senator Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa’s claim that the Palace is reviving the International Criminal Court (ICC) issue to divert public attention from other matters.

In a statement, Palace press officer Claire Castro stressed that the ICC topic remains relevant, especially as the international body continues to assert jurisdiction over the Philippines' drug war.

Castro also pointed out that it was Dela Rosa who led a Senate hearing in 2023 regarding the so-called PDEA leaks, adding that the senator had engaged in the same discussions he now criticizes.

First Lady Liza departs for Saudi Arabia on ‘working visit’
By Ronald Siongco/GDM

First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos has departed for Riyadh at the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a “working visit” starting July 17 until 20, 2025.

This was announced by Presidential Communications (PCO) Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Atty. Claire Castro in a press briefing with members of the Malacanang Press Corps (MPC) on Friday, July 18, 2025.

Castro says Marcos is set to meet with overseas Filipino workers (OFW) there.

Her itinerary would include attending the launch of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration’s (OWWA) ‘Serbisyo Caravan’, a one-stop government outreach program, and visiting shelters for distressed Filipino women workers and children.

“She will be back on July 21,” bares Castro.

The PCO official says this is the reason why she cannot join her husband, President Bongbong Marcos in his trip to Washington, D.C. from July 20 to 22, 2025.

Recto also noted the persistent operations of illegal gambling, which may be costing the government as much as P500 billion in lost revenues. Authorities are also studying the feasibility of taxing individual online bets.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. led the launch of the Bagong Pilipinas eGovPH Serbisyo Hub on July 18, 2025, at the Makabagong San Juan National Government Center in San Juan City.

The hub is part of a broader government effort to simplify and improve access to public services by addressing issues such as long queues, fragmented offices, and limited digital access.

Spearheaded by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), with support from the Office of the President, the program includes both the eGovPH Super App and on-site Serbisyo Hubs.

The eGovPH Super App serves as a mobile one-stop shop for government transactions, while the physical hubs provide an option for those who prefer in-person services.
