“The pursuit of truth, accountability, and justice should not stop with Co. His co-perpetrators in Congress and Malacañang should also be investigated and prosecuted."
Without government intervention, public utility drivers will continue to bear the brunt of rising fuel prices as their daily earnings steadily decline.
“Any enabling law that falls short of outright prohibition is not reform—it is a mockery of the Constitution, and we refuse to be party to it."
“That is the effect of the constant changing of the SC's decision just to junk the impeachment.”
“Lives lost could no longer be returned, and the trauma we are suffering due to the gross and repeated negligence of Aleson will haunt us for life."
“These are fabricated charges designed to intimidate us and to undermine the people's quest for truth and accountability.”
