Recent online panic claiming that the Philippines will be “bombed by Iran” because of our alliance with the United States is pure fear-mongering. These trash vlogs thrive on emotional manipulation, pushing a one-sided narrative while ignoring what credible sources and defense officials are actually saying.
The current tensions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran are unfolding in the Middle East. Philippine defense authorities have clearly stated that this localized conflict poses no direct threat to our country or our territory. The Department of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines have even cautioned the public against spreading disinformation that could trigger unnecessary panic.
Yes, the Philippines maintains a Mutual Defense Treaty with the United States. That alliance means cooperation in security matters, not automatic involvement in every conflict. At present, there is no credible evidence that Iran plans to target the Philippines or conduct long-range strikes against us because of that partnership.
Ang dami na namang nagpapakalat ng fake news. May ilan na ideologically biased - mas pabor sa Tsina, galit sa Amerika , kaya ginagamit ang isyu para maghasik ng takot. But scare tactics like “we’re next” or “America brings only tragedy” are irresponsible. They oversimplify complex geopolitics and turn serious global tensions into clickbait content.
The real danger is not an incoming missile , it is misinformation. Gusto nilang mataranta tayo, ma-stress ang gobyerno, at ma-pressure ang mga opisyal na magbigay ng paulit-ulit na assurance sa isang banta na hindi naman umiiral.
Fear may grab attention, but it does not protect our people. Facts do. Calm analysis does. Responsible citizenship does. In times of global tension, we need discernment-not drama.

I speak not only as a citizen, but as a mother.

There was a time in our country when fear lived in ordinary homes. The anti-drug campaign popularly known as Tokhang left thousands dead, many without trial, without formal charges, and without the chance to defend themselves. And as I watched the news during those years, one question haunted me: What if one of my children were wrongly accused? What if they were caught in the wrong place, at the wrong time?

That question is the very reason I strongly oppose the practices of the past administration under Rodrigo Duterte.
No parent should have to imagine their child being killed without due process. No family should be forced to accept a body instead of justice. A nation governed by fear is not strong, it is wounded.

The Constitution exists for a reason. The rule of law exists for a reason. Due process is not a technicality; it is protection. It protects the innocent from wrongful accusation. It ensures that punishment is based on evidence, not suspicion. When leaders encourage law enforcers to kill without judicial process, the line between justice and abuse becomes dangerously thin.
A life, once taken, can never be restored. There are no appeals after death. No corrections. No second chances.
Supporters of violent crackdowns often argue that drastic measures are necessary to fight crime. But we must ask: at what cost?

When the state normalizes killing without trial, it does not eliminate injustice, it multiplies it. True justice demands investigation, evidence, and the right to defend oneself. Anything less is not justice; it is ex*****on without accountability.

The Philippines is governed by the 1987 Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and due process. These are not optional ideals. They are binding principles. If we allow them to be ignored for convenience, then none of us, especially the poor and powerless are safe.
This is not merely about politics. It is about principle. It is about the kind of nation we want to build for our children.

Do we want a country where fear replaces fairness?
Or do we want a country where justice is guided by law?

As a mother, I choose the latter.
Because no campaign, no policy, and no promise of order is worth the life of an innocent child. And no government should ever make killing easier than proving guilt.
A society that values life must protect it through law-not destroy it in the name of order.

Should I tell myself that I am not okay?

I am feeling this, since my son passed the CELE and I really hate it.

1. Post-Achievement Letdown (or Post-Goal Depression)

After working very hard for something and finally achieving it, a person may suddenly feel:
*tired
*unmotivated
*emotionally flat
*not excited to continue
*no appetite to work on new tasks

This happens because the body and brain have been in high-effort mode, constantly releasing stress hormones and motivation chemicals (like adrenaline and dopamine).
Once the goal is achieved, those chemicals drop- creating a sudden emotional “crash.”

2. Physical and Emotional Exhaustion

This can happen even after success.
It includes:

*extreme fatigue
*lack of interest in activities previously enjoyed
*need to rest or withdraw
*mental tiredness

This does not necessarily mean burnout yet, it can simply be the body's natural recovery response after prolonged stress.

3. Early Signs of Burnout

If the fatigue and loss of motivation continue for weeks, it may indicate burnout, especially if the person has:

*constant tiredness
*emotional exhaustion
*no motivation
*reduced performance
*irritability
*a sense of being overwhelmed
Burnout can happen even when the outcome was positive.

4. Dopamine Crash

When someone works hard toward a goal, dopamine (the “motivation chemical”) stays high.
After the goal is achieved, dopamine drops sharply, causing:
*low energy
*apathy
*loss of interest
*feeling “empty” after success

This is a biological reaction, not a weakness.

5. The “Arrival Fallacy”

A psychological term coined by Tal Ben-Shahar.
It means:
believing that reaching a goal will create lasting happiness, but feeling empty or tired instead after achieving it.

Iiyak na sana ako, kaso nakita ko ang spelling ni Sen.Bato!

Anyway, hindi po ako nag "binifit"sa administrasyon ngayon. Nagta-trabaho po ako nang sobra para sa pamilya ko.

For your info,Senator, I was once an online warrior against Duterte’s presidency. In fact, some of my friends secretly hated me for it. I even experienced sleepless nights because I wanted my comments in the threads to be the final, decisive point, not the ones from those opposing me. My goal at that time was to prevent them from countering my arguments.

I believe that if you truly want your country to be saved from an unscrupulous leader, you need to sacrifice even your comfort, including your sweet sleep (hehehe).

Pero sa totoo lang, hindi ko na inulit iyon. I went through a roller coaster of emotions because of the ad hominem attacks from DDS commenters. Ang babastos kasi ng mga sinasabi, literal na basurang salita ang ipupukol sa’yo.Ganunpaman,I got even, basurang salita rin naman ang ibinalik ko sa kanila.

Tapos ngayon, nananawagan at naninisi ka at ang mga kadidilis mo, na walang pagkilos ang mga pinks para sa panawagan na mag-resign si PBBM. Bakit naman gagawin ng pinks ang manawagan,close ba ang unity team at pinks? Hindi nga ba kayo ang tinaguriang kampon ng kadiliman at kasamaan? Kaya ,h'wag n'yo po kaming idadamay sa panawagan n'yo.

It is undeniably true that social media plays a vital role in shaping people’s thoughts and political perceptions. These greatly influence the beliefs and decisions of many. And this is precisely why I use it to express my views and opinions.

I am sure that if I cannot force an old carabao to drink water from the river, I can at least bring the man's best friend to sip water from the palm of my hand.

O di ba?

Mahina ang testimony ni Zaldy Co. Hindi ito bombshell. Hindi ito complete. Hindi ito stable. Hindi ito court-ready. Kaya Rep. Zaldy Co, tinutulungan na kita. Dapat masagot mo itong mga tanong na ito para hindi weak ang mga exposès mo sa mga may alam.

HOLE 1

If the President wanted P100B inserted, bakit hindi pa sa NEP pa lang?

Ang NEP o National Expenditure Program ay 100 percent controlled ng Executive. DBM at ang Pangulo ang nagda-draft nito bago ipasa sa Kongreso. Ito ang pinaka-malinis, pinaka-discreet, at pinaka-logical na lugar para maglagay ng pork kung iyon ang intensyon. Walang media circus, walang bicam drama, at walang dozens of witnesses sa negotiations. Budget professionals know this.

Kaya bago pa magtangka ang kahit sino na mag-defend ng “mas kita kasi sa bicam ang insertions,” kailangan linawin ang basic sequencing. Kung gusto mong magtago ng pork, hindi mo ito ilalagay sa pinaka-visible, pinaka-politically charged, at pinaka-documented stage of the process. The bicam is where conflicts erupt, where both chambers haggle, where watchdogs, media, and staffers are hyper-alert. It is the least discreet stage. So bakit doon pa raw mag-iinsert? It makes no procedural sense.

Kung talagang may intensyon ang Pangulo, kaya niyang isama months earlier sa NEP. Bakit hihintayin pa ang Congress para sa bagay na kaya niyang gawin himself at the start of budget season? Bakit hindi ito kasama sa Tier 2 proposals ng DPWH at iba pang ahensya kung talagang priority niya?

Co’s story violates basic budget logic.

HOLE 2

Bakit exactly P100B ang figure niya, when the contested insertions for 2025 are over P200B?

Public reports, DBM tables, and the House and Senate versions show that the total discrepancies are more than double the number he is citing. So may obvious na tanong.

Sino ang naglagay ng natitirang P100B plus? Bakit kalahati lang ang isinasabit niya sa Pangulo? Bakit wala siyang binibigay na detalye tungkol sa origin ng second half ng pork? Bakit wala siyang tinutukoy na papel ng mga komite kung saan traditionally pumapasok ang ganitong kalaking bulto?

This is a partial confession packaged as a whistleblowing narrative. It is selective, controlled, and convenient.

HOLE 3

Bicam insertions are not done by the Executive.

The bicam is controlled by two entities only: the House contingent and the Senate contingent. Executive officials can recommend, but they cannot order bicam members to insert anything. They are not seated at the negotiation table. They cannot vote. They cannot impose their will.

Kaya kung may nakapasok na pork sa bicam, legislators ang gumawa niyan. The legal, political, and procedural responsibility sits with the committees and individual members inside that room. Hindi ito pwedeng ipasa sa Executive in the way na ina-advance ni Co.

And yet Co refuses to discuss the actual machinery of insertions:
House small committee
Senate finance committee
Bicam negotiating panel

These are the bodies with real, documented power to add and alter provisions. Pero walang pangalan. Walang context. Walang mekanismo. Parang ayaw niyang madikit kahit sinong kakampi sa Kongreso.

That silence is very telling.

HOLE 4

He ignores the elephant in the room: House and Senate insertion blocs.

Ito ang pinaka-red flag. He points upward sa Pangulo, and sideways kay Romualdez, pero hindi inward sa mismong appropriation power centers. Historically at procedurally, the biggest pork insertions originate from district representatives, party-list blocs, and Senate project holders. Ito ang mga pinaka-active sa budget negotiations taon-taon.

Pero sa version ni Co, nawawala silang lahat. Parang walang House districts, walang party-list appetites, walang Senate pet projects. Magically spotless ang appropriations committees sa kwento niya. This is not transparency. This is controlled storytelling.

And again, ulitin natin: ang Pangulo ay hindi nalinis dito. Siya ang pumirma sa final GAA. Siya ang may veto power. Siya ang ultimate accountability holder sa anumang nakasaad sa batas na nilagdaan niya.

Pero ang mismatch sa kwento ni Co, the selective numbers, the procedural violations, and the refusal to name the actual insertion blocs all reveal one thing: mahina ang testimony.

Kaya kung may tatagal sa imbestigasyon, iyon ay ang mismong proseso. Paano nagkaroon ng 200 bilyon na insertions mula NEP hanggang bicam? Sino ang pumasok? Sino ang nag-sponsor? Sino ang nag-certify ng availability? Ano ang papel ng DBM, House, Senate, at power brokers across all three stages?

Pero ang kwento ni Co mismo? Mahina ang tuhod. Kulang sa laman. At sa korte, unang mababasag ang statements niya dahil hindi tugma sa dokumento, hindi tugma sa proseso, at hindi tugma sa mismong mechanics ng national budgeting.
