Tulfo Wants to Scrap 4Ps, De Lima Fires Back: “Fix the System, Not Starve the Poor”

Manila, Philippines — Senator Erwin Tulfo has proposed scrapping the government’s flagship poverty alleviation program, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), arguing that monthly cash aid breeds dependency and entitlement. His solution? Ditch the “ayuda mentality” and hand out livelihood capital instead—because nothing solves systemic poverty like a startup sari-sari store.

Tulfo, chair of the Senate Committee on Social Justice, said that giving capital for small businesses would empower poor families to become self-reliant. “Let’s stop encouraging laziness,” Tulfo said, as if poverty were simply a branding issue.

But former Senator and now Congresswoman Leila de Lima, the principal author of the 4Ps law, isn’t buying it. De Lima slammed the idea of gutting the program, saying the problem isn’t the poor—it’s how the system has been run. “You don’t punish the vulnerable because government fails to deliver,” she said, adding that audits and better implementation—not abolition—are the real solutions.

De Lima also reminded Tulfo (and the public) that 4Ps is enshrined in law, not just an optional generosity. “You don’t kill the lifeline. You repair the ropes,” she added, noting that conditional cash transfers are globally recognized tools for combating poverty—not Band-Aids to be ripped off by impatient politicians.

Social media reactions have been split between those praising Tulfo for “tough love” and others accusing him of trying to “solve poverty with Instagram-ready ideas.”

As the debate continues, one thing is clear: while some leaders want to hand out fishballs and call it empowerment, others insist that before Filipinos can dream big, they at least need to eat.

JUST IN: The House of Representatives just did a full 180—with matching legal backride from the Office of the Solicitor General—to beg the Supreme Court to reverse its ruling on VP Sara Duterte’s impeachment.

The House killed the complaint. The Supreme Court called it out.
Now they’re scrambling—dragging the OSG into a mess that reeks of political survival and loyalty, not law.

Checks and balances? Dead.
Separation of powers? Ignored.
Shame? Nonexistent.

This isn’t just a legal move—it’s a full-blown institutional surrender.
And it shows exactly who really holds the leash.

Rodante Marcoleta now says he’s not a PDP-Laban member — just someone who happened to be endorsed by them, campaigned with them, and appeared on their senatorial slate. Totally just a coincidence, right?

Despite enjoying full support from the Duterte Bloc, DDS loyalists, and even riding the momentum of BBM’s political machinery, Marcoleta insists he’s “independent.” Because in Philippine politics, apparently, you can have all the benefits of a party without actually joining it — like ordering the combo meal but pretending you’re on a diet.

It’s a familiar move: embrace the brand when it’s popular, then keep your hands clean when things get messy. Not illegal. Not even unusual. Just…conveniently Philippines.

Atty. Romy Macalintal Blasts BSKE Postponement: “This Isn’t Governance—It’s a Hijacking of Democracy.”

Veteran election lawyer Atty. Romy Macalintal just torched the latest scheme to postpone the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE)—and he’s not sugarcoating it.

Calling it a “blatant and shameless violation of the people’s right to vote,” Macalintal slammed the move as nothing more than a power-hungry ploy to keep unelected officials warming seats they no longer deserve.

“Let’s cut the crap,” he said. “Delaying the BSKE has nothing to do with efficiency and everything to do with political parasites refusing to let go. It’s not public service—it’s squatting in office.”

He warned that Congress doesn’t get to play kingmaker by simply pushing elections down the calendar whenever it’s politically convenient. Every delay is an insult to democracy and a slap in the face of every Filipino voter.

If they’re too scared to face the people, Macalintal implies, maybe they shouldn’t be in office at all.

Because in the end, only cowards postpone elections to protect their power. And the public? They’re not blind. They’re watching.

GMA Gala 2025: Glitz, Glam, and a Whole Lotta Glow

Held on August 2, 2025, the Manila Marriott turned into a full-blown fashion battlefield as GMA Network celebrated its 75th (diamond!) anniversary. Think 1,000+ celebs, execs, influencers, and VIPs flexing their fiercest lewks—and not a single outfit was left to chance.

Fashion? Honey, It Was a War Zone

• Heart Evangelista shut down the night in a custom hand-painted Schiaparelli gown that took five months to make. Yes, months. Icon behavior only.
• The red carpet (or rather, the blue carpet) split into two camps:
• Team Vibrant Queens: Fiery reds, sunshine yellows, electric blues.
• Team Chic & Shadowy: Sleek blacks, earth tones, and shimmer—basically the mood board for luxury.

Award Night Realness
• Best Dressed:
Kyline Alcantara
David Licauco
• Couple of the Night: Mika Salamanca & Brent Manalo (MikBrent supremacy!)
• Young Stars of the Night: Wynona Collings & Will Ashley
• Hall of Fame Royalty: Marian, Dingdong, Alden, and (of course) Heart.

It Wasn’t Just for Show
Despite all the glam, the night had heart—literally. The gala raised funds for GMA Kapuso Foundation, helping communities hit by typhoons and monsoons. GMA even dropped ₱2.5 million before the event started. Now that’s a flex.

Live Music, Live Feels
• Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and Madrigal Singers gave everyone goosebumps.
• GMA dropped its shiny new 75th anniversary station ID like it was the Avengers trailer.

Other Scene-Stealers
• Celeb couples strutted in like prom royalty: Ashley Ortega & Mavy Legaspi, Heart & Chiz, Bianca de Vera & Dustin Yu.
• Even TikTok stars and Gen Z newbies like Shuvee Etrata and Esnyr joined the high-glam fam.

In short: GMA Gala 2025 was a wild, dazzling night of fashion, fundraising, and Filipino star power. Drama? Check. Charity? Check. Champagne? Probably flowing like ratings.

NEW GOVERNMENT STRATEGY: TRANSFER FIRST, ASK QUESTIONS NEVER.
Sen. Erwin Tulfo just exposed another episode of the great Philippine bureaucratic circus.

According to Tulfo, a DPWH undersecretary — not just any undersecretary, but reportedly the richest of them all — was conveniently reassigned to another department right smack in the middle of an investigation involving DPWH mess.

No probe. No suspension. No consequences.
Just a smooth career detour, like a VIP being escorted out the backdoor before the cameras roll.

Because here in the Philippines, when officials are in hot water, we don’t hold them accountable — we give them a change of scenery.
Who needs justice when you can have a transfer memo?

So congratulations to the undersecretary — for proving that in this system, the richer you are, the quicker you disappear… right into another cushy post.

Tulfo’s not laughing. But the rest of the system seems to be in on the joke.

GADON & TOPACIO IN FLAMETHROWER MODE
Where legal minds go low, and egos go lower.

In the latest installment of “Attack of the Bar Exams Survivors,” two of the loudest law licenses in the country — Presidential Adviser Larry "You're Stupid!" Gadon and Attorney Ferdinand "Twitter Law School" Topacio — are now throwing more shade than actual legal arguments.

Gadon, fresh off his indefinite suspension and ever-thirsty for microphone time, threw verbal na**lm at Topacio, who fired back with the same subtlety as a sledgehammer in a courtroom.

It’s less legal discourse, more telenovela — except everyone forgot to bring actual facts.

One calls the other a traitor, the other responds like he’s auditioning for FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano: Legal Division. Somewhere in between, public decency took an indefinite leave of absence.

Legal genius? Debatable.
Drama kings? Certified.

At this point, Filipinos are left wondering: Are they fighting over justice, or just who gets the last TV interview?

Meet Ex-Housing Exec, Chief for Finance Services - DHSUD, Atty. Randy Escolango. The New Department of Health Undersecretary.

BREAKING: Lawyer Tapped to Replace Doctor as DOH Undersecretary

In a bold move defying logic and basic qualifications, the Department of Health welcomes a lawyer to fill the shoes of a veteran doctor and career official. Because who needs decades of public health expertise when you can have someone skilled in paperwork, legalese, and political survival?

Institutional memory? Medical insight? Crisis management experience? Nah. Apparently, what the DOH needs is someone who can argue why the system’s broken — not fix it.

Welcome to the new normal: health decisions, now brought to you by the legal department.

The National Teleserye

Welcome to the Philippines—where politics isn’t public service, it’s prime-time drama with a bloated cast of fame-hungry egos, bad plotlines, and zero accountability.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Still, have a great weekend Pinoys!

BREAKING: ATONG ANG FACES MURDER RAP OVER MISSING SABUNGEROS

After years of silence and speculation, the families of over 30 missing sabungeros just dropped a bombshell:

They’ve formally filed murder and serious illegal detention charges against Charlie “Atong” Ang, members of his so-called Alpha Group, and complicit police officers at the DOJ in Manila.

A whistleblower turned state witness has directly named Ang as the criminal mastermind behind the disappearances. And now, the evidence is piling up — a human skull recovered from Taal Lake, where bodies were allegedly dumped.

This is no longer rumor. This is a criminal complaint.

The families want justice. The nation wants answers.
Now it’s the DOJ’s move. Will they protect the powerful — or finally act for the disappeared?
