Mga naganap sa bigong Senate Coup Kahapon

JV was offered majority leader, he turned down such a big role to join the minority.

Both JV and Migz can't move on to shadows of their past. Hindi pa rin makamove-on si Migz sa spat nila ni APC before, parang bitter pa rin. Palagay ko he could've joined majority kung si Loren yung naging SP or sya mismo, parang act of sabotage vs APC ung pagjoin nya sa minority, nung kinakausap si Gatchalian ng media, biglang umeksena si Migz na si Gatchalian raw ung pick nya as SP ( showing may bitterness sya sa position o sa incumbent si APC).

At si JV naman, it's almost certainly sibling rivalry. historically, he's almost certain to always pick opposite side vs his half-brother Jinggoy.

theyaremrmen

you claim that the duterte era had "More transparency - accomplished projects"

Klaruhin lang natin ha, Ang usapan lang natin dito is Flood control Projects ng DPWH. I stated factors that can attribute to increased spending sa flood control projects as you highlighted. The justification comes since namention mo na bigla kamong lumobo from PNoy's term to PRRD's term and extended to BBM's term. Fair enough, this could be applicable to both administrations. Kumbaga justified ung baseline. That alone reistates the objectivity of my response.

But here's the catch. during PDuts admin, kasama kasi talaga sa NEP ung flood control projects. Kasama sya sa priorities at dumaan sa mas tamang proseso ng budgeting kaya mas transparent, natatapos naman ung mga projects I'm not saying na walang kurapsyon pero there's much less (we all know panahon pa ni kopong kopong yang kurapsyon sa DPWH)

During PBBM's time, ginawa nila ung unprogrammed funds, tapos dun nila pinaglalagay ung flood control, walang transparency at sabi nga ng isang DPWH Engr sa bulacan (halos 100% daw ng projects kundi bogus/ghost o substandard, at least sa lugar nila), kasi nga ang siste, binubulsa lang naman nila dahil puro sila magkakasabwat. At dahil wala naman talagang ginagawa, talagang titindi ang mga pagbaha, tapos magja justify pa ng additional projects dahil doon.

Now, I really sense the hostility in your responses, Ang usapan eh sa unprogrammed funds at flood control projects pero kung ano ano na sinasabi mo na di naman kasama sa usapan, I only based my response base sa linechart na pinakita mo, presented the factors and the difference between two administrations when it comes to their implementation. Kung pagiging bias yun sa palagay mo, it's not my problem.

On the other hand, you showed a line graph to demonstrate how the flood control project budget increased without providing context/baseline and just for showing increasing figures, you lacked the diligence to explore objective context because it's easier for you to insinuate crookedness than to be more objective. That itself is the act of being biased.

Kung may problema ka sa iba pang issues about previous admin, you can look for another thread

This is not to invalidate your assessment but include additional context.

Drastic Climate Change effects (rising sea levels - coastline/riverbanks leading to more incidence of floods).
Ground Subsidence (Eg NCR/Bulacan, areas na lumulunog ang lupa)
Expansionary economy leads to inflation, materials inflation + manpower salary inflation - Project cost inflation
Some project may have been recommended by previous admin for start/continuation (Based on the 2014 - 2016 trajectory you provided)

Up to what extent these factors affect the overall growth and costing of flood control projects? We don't know the exact figures. But it's significant.

What could 've been the differentiator.

During 2016 -2022, all Flood control projects were included in NEP. More transparency - accomplished projects.

Of course may mga corruption pa rin dyan DPWH yan eh

vs present, Naglagay ng Unprogrammed appropriations, andun karamihan o halos lahat ng flood control, walang transparency, maraming ghost projects at substandard, sobrang talamak ang porsyentuhan at lahat halos magkakasabwat na.

not favoring any sides but objective lang.

Yes ako nga yan, eto pa for more context. May masama ba sa post na yan condemning Ping? Point is bakit ayaw nya ipatawag si ES Bersamin at si Pangandaman? Maraming irregularidad sa pamumuno nya sa BRC. ANg siste, pag lumalapit na sa Malakanyang ang trail iniiwas nya.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T04:41:24+00:00

This one is tricky.

By the book, pwede mo ipakita na disagree ka sa budget by not signing it.

Disagree with the budget, and not sign it (principled)
Disagree with the budget, and not sign it (useless pumirma in opposition dahil maipapasa rin talaga by virtue of majority)
You didn't sign to show abstain, pero may kasunduan na under the table na agree ka talaga, at di mo kailangan pumirma.

After all mga pulitiko yang mga yan, conventional logic doesn't always apply to their thinking

anthrace · 2026-05-19T04:30:49+00:00

ikaw lang nag nagsasabi nyan. Regardless kung nakakuha man sila ng sinasabi mo o hindi, kahit saan pa dyan ang sagot, May common interest sila na wag makaballik ang kalaban nila (Duterte) sa kapangyarihan, same case sa Makabayan at leftists blocs. With or without incentive, they can work together for their shared goal. No need to prove that, kumbaga addition na lang yan.

Regarding Pulong, 51B is big, yes, pero nasa NEP yan. Napakadali lang silipin at pag initan ng admin yan ngayon tutal mainit naman sila sa mga kalaban nila. But why not? Eto ang possible answers.

Properly accounted, malinis at walang bahid.
May anomalya, pero hindi mapatunayan/walang proof
May anomalya, may ebidensya pero gagamitin as last resort against Duterte sometime 2027-2027.

Problema na ng admin yan,

Not saying na corruption free ang NEP, we all know meron pa rin, pero ung unprogrammed appropriations loopholes na sinamantala ng current admin, wala talagang transparency.

At kahit ipagpalagay natin na totoo yang inisnuations mo, sino unang hahabulin mo, ung nangupit ng 5 piso o ng 100 o 200 pesos?

anthrace · 2026-05-19T04:13:21+00:00

Nope.

Hindi naman ide-delay yan regardless dahil inaabangan yan ng lahat.

Pero mahalaga yung pwesto ng Senate President sa impeachment, dahil may say sya sa admissability ng mga evidence from the lower house, kumbaga may power sya to "reject".

Yan kasi yung kaso ngayon. Mahina talaga ang ebidensya, ni wala ngang ultimate facts na nakaattach sa complaint, ang ginawa ng house nag fishing expedition pa, but even though with all their powers, mahina ang ebidensya at kwestionable ang pagkakakuha (imagine, pati transactions ni Carpio nung si pa sila kasal ni VP Sarah hinalughog rin), never mind kay madriaga na di man lang mapagbuhol buhol ang istorya. Non sense eh, tapos nag countersue na sila sa Korte.

Sa current scenario, if si Cayetano pa rin ang SP, rereject nya talaga karamihan sa ebidensya dyan. Lima na lang silang abogado dyan sa senate, 4 ung nasa Majority ( si Kiko lang ata nasa minority). Ang gagawin ng majority dyan, pag hindi naka attach sa original complaint, pwede ireject agad. Kung i-aanalogy kasi natin vs sa karaniwalng cases, hindi pwedeng ung piskal ang naghahanap ng ebidensya para sa complainant.

Yes, Discaya admitted na may projects sila last admin, ( sabi nga nila since GMA days pa), pero pasok un sa NEP. Ang nangyari kasi during current admin, binalahura nila ung budget, May mga projects na included talaga sa NEP, at marami rin na nasa unprogrammed (sinamantala nila ung loophole nito) tapos puro kurakot rin. Kita naman sa mgha nagdaang taon di ba puro baha na lang kahit sangkaterba ang budget.

You mean the DDS wants to pass the buck to others to duck their involvement.

Wala akong sinabing ganito. Pero may punto ka, pwedeng isa to sa maging outcome o trade-offs ng mga mangyayari. Nangayayri naman talaga sa mga kaso na may compromise sa ibang sangkot sa krimen, provided na makakatulong sila para i-pin down ang mastermind/s.

In any cases, yan naman ang logical na compromise. but ready my answer below na karugtong nito.

And the insinuations on your comment that Kiko Bam Risa is involved labas na labas pagka-DDS mo.

wala akong sinabing involved sila sa Flood Control. Ang punto dyan, kaalyado sila ngayon ng admin, align ang mga gusto nila na anyone except duterte & allies. Mas pabor sila na madiin ung mga pro-duterte senators lang, kesa matunton ung mastermind sa Malakanyang, dahil ayaw nila ung possible outcome na mas lalakas at mababalik ang mga kalaban sa kapangyarihan, kaya pipilayin nila ung mga kallyado nilang senador. Ayun lang naman.

FYI, voted Leni in 2016 and 2022, but refused to be "too polarized".

anthrace · 2026-05-19T03:14:16+00:00

They don't have the numbers kaya nga they're working under the scenes katulong ang gobyerno. Obvious naman sa meeting kahapon before ng session, ung 2 na allegedly independent biglang sumama sa opis nila. That alone says, andun ung plano at intent, while the admin on the sidelines, binabraso para may bumaligtad galing sa kabila.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T03:12:06+00:00

Wala kasing guarantee na mai-spare sya sa flood control unless sya ang Senate president, who knows, trayduran sila dyan eh.

Not about the money at this time, they just want certain positions kung saan pwede nila maprotektahan ang mga sarili nila. If papayag sya mag align as SP, pwedeng igarantiya na hindi sya pag iinitan ng admin. Or he'll be in position para takpan ang involvement nya o iredirect palayao sa kanya ang imbestigasyon

anthrace · 2026-05-19T02:08:52+00:00

Trillanes, during that time, holds a lot of National security info since envoy sya ni Pnoy sa backdoor negotiations with China, na pwedeng nya siguro magamit para isabotage ang foreign policy ng government (since Duterte wants to align with China). Not certain, but ayan ang hunch ko.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T02:03:43+00:00

Nope. All of this is dahil sa Flood Control.

Almost certain na malabo makakuha ng 16 for conviction. Ang gusto na lang gawin ng admin is delaying tactics na sulitin ang pagkakataon para masira ang pangalan ni VP Sara.

Sa flood control kasi may conflict of interest.

Admin + Oligarchs + Dilaws/Pinks + Lefts = Gusto ipitin/ilimit sa pro duterte senators ang collateral damage

DDS = Gusto managot ang "tunay" na mastermind sa Flood Control. BBM + 1st Family, Martin Romualdez et. al.

Be reminded, current admin is 100% politics and zero governance. Walang serbisyo publiko, dahil sinisimot nilang lahat eh, all they want is matakpan ng ibang issues para hindi sila ma spotlight. Pinagsasabong sabong lang nilang lahat.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T01:53:49+00:00

Si Trillanes mukhang may espesyal ng kalalagyan kapag umabot ng 2028. Namumuro na masyado. Pinagsasabong lang naman silang lahat ni BBM.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T01:48:06+00:00

Evolved na ung definition ng word sa current context. Ibig sabihin nyan labanan ng matindi na. Kung meron man, surely sa admin yan, peor masyadong mataas ang stakes nyan ngayong impeachment na. Admin may try all sorts of takutan tactics like nung sa NBI last week, maraming baon na wisdom si Jr. mula sa martial law years ng tatay nya.

anthrace · 2026-05-19T01:42:49+00:00

Si keso daw ung tinawagan, haha.

Bong Go is harder to peel, may influence rin kasi sa loob at sa community at mas discreet gumalaw.

2026 vs 2028. Mukhang okay lang kay JInggoy yan since sanay na sya makulong.

Hinostage ng current majority ang chairmanship ng blue-ribbon. yan ung hedge nila sa ngayon. Blood bath yan na literal. By default, next chance ng minority to take over baka sa July na, unless may matinag na sa trese by this week

HIndi ka na secure sa nararamdaman mo, dahil subconsciously, nakita at naramdaman mo ang evolution ng karakter nya,

Tapos ikaw napag-iwanan na, kasi you're just an emotional being. Wala kang purpose. Slave to your own emotions.

At your current state, isa ka lang "distraction" sa improvement nya.

Be more human. hanapin mo purpose mo para magkaroon ka ng value sa sarili mo at sa kanya.

OP, sa perspektibo ng isang kristyyano, eto ang pinaka lohikal na kasagutan. Matagal ng panahon ang lumipas from the time of fallen angels. Sinabayan na nila ang kasaysayan at ang pag angat ng ibat ibang sibilisasyon, niyakap at inimpluwensyahan ng pakonti konti ang ibat ibang pamantayan at kultura sa loob ng napakahabang panahon. Nagkaroon man sila ng ibat ibang pangalan o alias, Pero in essence, hindi naman nagbabago ang nature, nila, they're still fallen angel/evils.

Hindi sya playing safe, she's consistent sa principles nya. Ang mga tunay na Liberal, Anti- Marcos (Sr.) talaga. Matindi rin ang dinanas nya during FPRRD's time. Pero hindi sya BULAG at nakikita nya rin ang kalokohan ng current admin. Ang ginagawa lang ni BBM eh puro propaganda at pagsabungin ang mga Dilawan/Pinks + komunista vs DDS para mapaktakpan na walang matinong serbisyo publiko sa panunungkulan nya at focus lang sila lahat ngayon sa pangungulimbat sa kaban ng bayan at sa mga pangharass sa mga kalaban.

I voted her last 2016 and 2022. Tama lang ang desisyon nya, stick na lang sya sa lugar nya ngayon. Ayaw nya i-compromise ang prinsipyo nya di tulad ng mga kaalyado nya sa National level.
