Kiko Pangilinan on anti-terror bill: “Gamot ba ang panukalang batas sa COVID-19?”

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan criticized the government over the timing of pushing the controversial anti-terror bill.

In a statement on June 2, Pangilinan said that many people were suffering already because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government should look after them instead of focusing on passing the said bill.

“Terrorized na ang mga kababayan natin dahil sa COVID-19, ang nakakamatay at nakakahawang sakit. Mas na-te-terrorize pa dahil sa kawalan ng trabaho at hanapbuhay na dulot ng iba’t ibang klase ng lockdown na pinataw sa ating mamamayan at ekonomiya,” Pangilinan said.

“Pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga walang masakyang public transport ngayong GCQ, ang mass testing at contact tracing, at pagbangon ulit ng ating kabuhayan,” he added.

The opposition senator even asked if the terror bill would save the whole country from the pandemic.

“Whole of government di ba? Heal as one di ba? Gamot ba ang panukalang batas sa COVID-19 o gagamiting panakip-butas sa mga kapalpakan?” he said.

“Paano pigilan ang paglaganap ng COVID-19 at paano ibangon ang nakadapa nating ekonomiya ang bigyan ng panahon at solusyon, huwag ang anti-terror bill.” he added.

Meanwhile, Senator Risa Hontiveros also reacted on the recent developments of the anti-terror bill.

“COVID-19 ang kalaban, pero itong anti-terrorism bill ang isinalang,” Hontiveros said.

“Valid at dapat pakinggan ang concerns ng publiko tungkol sa bill. Ang hiling nila ay maayos na programa para sa kanilang kaligtasan laban sa kinakaharap nating pandemic. Hindi ba dapat nandoon ang prayoridad natin?” she added.

Pangilinan and Hontiveros were the only senators who voted against the measure because they believe that the bill might be misused.

The said bill would change the definition of acts of terrorism in the Philippines.

If passed, causing destruction of public properties, developing weapons, and those who will participate in planning with terrorists would be now considered as an act of terrorism.

New People’s Army was declared as a terrorist organization by the government in 2017.

Meanwhile, Senator Sotto defended the bill, saying that only the terrorists and their supporters should be afraid.

Nancy Binay questions lack of mass transpo amid GCQ: “Di lahat kayang maglakad ng ilang kilometro”

Senator Nancy Binay expressed disappointment over the decision of the government to disallow jeepneys and other public transportations to operate amid the General Community Quarantine in Metro Manila.

In a statement on Tuesday, Binay asked the Department of Transporation (DOTr) about their plans to the people only relying on using public transportations.

According to her, the officials of DOTr were fortunate enough to have private vehicles to go to their offices while some people were forced to walk just to go to their work.

She challenged the officials to commute to their work so they could experience what’s happening every day to the simple Filipinos.

“Ano ba talaga ang plano ng DOTr sa commuters? Three months under ECQ and still they have no clear plan in place. What happened to foresight? Mabuti sila’t aircon ang mga sasakyan. Eh kung subukan kaya ng mga opisyal ng DOTr mag-commute mula sa kani-kanilang bahay papasok sa opisina nila (sa Clark City o Ortigas)? Dapat maramdaman nila ang hirap na pinagdadaanan ng mga commuter. They won’t be able to plan well if they don’t feel and understand the people’s daily struggles,” the senator pointed out.

“Napaka-unfair sa commuters na yung mga private vehicles walang restrictions bumyahe. Napaka-limitado ng choices nila. DOTr knew that Metro Manila and the rest of the regions will soon be transitioning to the new normal. They knew that 30% of those in NCR will start going to work by June 1–tapos ang idi-deploy eh truck ng libreng sakay which compromise and breach all health protocols particularly physical distancing,” she added.

Binay said that DOTr is only “favoring a certain segment of the mass transport sector” while ignoring the biggest segment of the public transport in NCR.

“Healing is not abandoning one of the most vulnerable sectors that move people and economy. When you exclude the jeepneys from the equation, you also have abandoned 250,000 families–and their children are the ones who suffer the most,” the senator explained.

The senator then pointed out that the government should not expect that the private sector would provide transportation to their employees.

“Di po lahat ay may kotse. Di lahat ay may motorsiklo o bisikleta. Di lahat kayang maglakad ng ilang kilometro sa gitna ng baha at ulan. Di po sila experiment. Our workers and the commuting public don’t deserve this kind of treatment. For the past three months, they’ve sacrificed more than enough,” Binay said.

DOTr only allowed point-to-point buses, taxis, shuttle services, and bicycles may operate during the GCQ from June 1 to 21.

Starting June 22 to 30, public utility buses, modern public utility vehicles, and UV express vans may operate but with limited passenger capacity.

They also consider allowing some jeepneys to operate starting June 22.

Meanwhile, Transporation Secretary Arthur Tugade asked the employers to provide a shuttle service to their employees while public transportation was still insufficient.

 

Solicitor General Calida to Coco Martin: Kung hindi lang ako SolGen, ipapakain ko sa’yo ang sinabi mo!

Solicitor General Jose Calida couldn’t hide his disappointment over the message of some ABS-CBN artist to him, including one of Kapamilya’s top-star Coco Martin.

During his speech at the House hearing on the ABS-CBN franchise on Monday, Calida reacted on the social media posts of some artists who criticized the government for the decision of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to close down the television network giant.

Calida called the actions of the artist as ‘desperation’, saying that they used their influence to gather public support for the network.

The solicitor general gave Martin a special mention and showed the statement of the latter against the critics of ABS-CBN in his presentation.

A few weeks ago, Martin has gone viral on social media after he criticized the people who supported the closure of ABS-CBN including Calida.

“Maraming maraming salamat Solicitor General Joe Calida at sa bumubuo ng National Telecommunications Commission sa kontribusyon niyo sa ating bayan! TINATARANTADO NINYO ANG MGA PILIPINO!!!” he said.

Calida claimed that the viral statement of Martin during a Livestream of Kapamilya stars was addressed to him.

According to Calida, the reaction of Martin showed the ‘lack of understanding’ in the said issue.

The Solicitor General said that if he’s not the legal defender of the country, he may give a lecture to the actor.

“If I had not been the Solicitor General, I would have called his bluff and make him eat his words,” Calida said.

“For decades now ABS-CBN has been deceiving the Filipino people. The time has come to expose ABS-CBN, whose owners and corporate officers continue to deceive the Filipino people in believing that they are “In the service of the Filipino”,” he added.

Coco Martin stopped posting lengthy social media posts to defend ABS-CBN since mother’s day on Instagram, but he’s still publishing images to support his home network.

 

 

Rep. Rodante Marcoleta’s speech about ABS-CBN interrupted by Rep. France Castro

By

Sagip party-list Representative and Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta’s speech was cut short after a lawmaker suddenly used her microphone to question the former’s statement.

During the House hearing on the ABS-CBN franchise on Monday, Marcoleta reminded his colleagues who supported ABS-CBN not to discredit the lawmakers against the Kapamilya network.

“Sana po iwasan ang ganoong pananalita. Mabuti sigurong galangin natin ang bawat isa kung paano ko ginagalang ang opinyon nila. Mag galangan po tayo sapagkat in the final analysis only the Supreme Court will have the final say in controversy of the constitutional issue that we are about to tackle today,” the lawmaker said.

Marcoleta also talked about the charitable activities conducted by the Kapamilya network.

Marcoleta believed that no one could remove the fact that ABS-CBN really helped many Filipinos during times of calamities, but he said that it’s better if the Kapamilya network would assist the needy while following the law at the same time.

“Wala pong aagaw sa inyo nito, ang inyong pagtulong ay mananatiling kasama po ng inyong kasaysayan hanggang saan man tayo makarating, hindi po ‘yun ang punto, ang punto po natin dito ay ang gagawin nating pagtulong sa mga kababayan sa lahat ng pagkakataon na kinakailangan din natin ilagay sa lugar,” Marcoleta said.

“Walang magandang pagtulong, walang magandang ibibigay sa ating bansa kung ang pagtulong ay gagawin natin sa pamamagitan sa paglabag sa ating mga batas,” he added.

Marcoleta’s speech was suddenly distracted after Castro called the attention of the committee on Good Government And Public Accountability Chairperson Jose Antonio Sy-Alvarado.

While Alvarado reminded Castro that the floor still belonged to Marcoleta, the latter insisted to speak and told the chairperson that they didn’t know that Marcoleta was allowed to summarize the speeches of his colleagues.

“Mr. Chair… kasi sa agenda natin wala naman pong nakalagay dito na summarization nu’ng ginawa natin, ‘yun pong sinasabi ni Marcoleta, ni Congressman Marcoleta ay parang sa interpellation niya nalang po niya sabihin, kasi nabigyan na po natin siya ng pagkakataon last time,” Castro said.

Alvarado couldn’t do anything but to suspend the session for several minutes.

During the suspension of the session, it can be seen that Marcoleta and Castro spoke to each other.

Marcoleta approached Castro and talked after the session suspended.

When the session continues, Marcoleta finished his speech without interruption anymore.

Marcoleta has gone viral on the internet after he raised the alleged violations of ABS-CBN on May 26.

He mentioned the alleged tax evasion activities of the network and also questioned why ABS-CBN has thousands of contractual employees.

The lawmaker also mentioned the citizenship issue of ABS-CBN chairman emeritus Eugenio Lopez III.

 

 

 

 

 

Kiko Pangilinan’s daughter to the Filipino supporters of George Floyd: Remember Kian delos Santos too

By

Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, daughter Frankie, has a message to the Filipino supporters of George Floyd, an American who faced demise in the hands of a police officer.

In her tweet, Pangilinan said that while Filipinos are also mourning what happened to Floyd, they should also remember the rumored last words of the 17-year-old student Kian Delos Santos who lost his life during a police operation in Caloocan.

“While we remember George’s, “I can’t breathe,” let’s take a minute to remember kian’s ‘tama na po’,” Pangilinan tweeted.

“By a minute, I mean a lifetime. that’s what was taken from them both,” she added.

Pangilinan was referring to the testimony of a witness who claimed that he saw delos Santos together with the police.

“Tama na po! Tama na po! May test pa ako bukas!” delos Santos said according to the witness.

The post of Pangilinan received many reactions from the netizens, including political blogger Jan “Jan Writer” Suing.

Pangilinan and Suing clashed in a debate about juvenile law created by the former’s father.

Suing argued that the people behind what happened to Floyd were already punished, while the minors who allegedly committed something illegal in the Philippines were saved and never held liable for what they did because they benefited to ‘Pangilinan law.’

Pangilinan defended the law created by her father, saying that Juvenile Law ensure that minors are being punished accordingly to their age.

“Nothing was burned. the law, to those who actually know it, is about holding minors accountable in a manner and means appropriate for their age. it’s about assuring that children at risk and in conflict with the law are properly educated and fairly treated. sit down,” Pangilinan said.

“So in contrast to what you might have assumed, it’s not immunity, it’s about making sure minors are held accountable correctly. don’t make arguments based on your ignorance. read and adequately inform yourself before making assumptions and, therefore, a fool of yourself,” she added.

However, Suing said that first world countries like Australia have a lower age of criminal liability.

They also said that first world countries are doing it wrong for punishing minors for doing illegal activities.

“Again, far more developed countries. if you’re going to compare the suffering of a third world nation with all these areas where children are far less at risk, then you really are too blinded by your own convictions to have a heart or a clear mind. and again, yes, they are,” she said.

Frankie’s father, Senator Pangilinan received criticisms even from President Rodrigo Duterte himself from creating the juvenile justice law.

“The entire Philippines for the last two decades, right after the — itong Pangilinan law, nagkalat. Kasi alam ninyo, pagka-minor, he goes out. ‘Pag sinabi niya, ‘I am just 14 years old,’ he goes out. Walang seremonya,” the president said in one of his past speeches.

However, Sen. Pangilinan said that the government wrongly implemented the law he created.

According to him, the minors caught by the police would have to be transferred in a Bahay Pag-Asa or child-caring institutions for at least one year instead of freeing them or putting them to detention with older inmates.

 

Pineke? Francis Leo Marcos’ wedding with Fil-Jap beauty queen is void according to an investigative journalist

By

An investigative journalist claimed that the woman being showed by Norman Mangusin, better known as Francis Leo Marcos (FLM) in his vlogs, is not his real wife.

Journalist Manuel Mejorada believed that Marcos’ wedding with Filipina-Japanese beauty queen Mayu Murakami was considered void ab initio because the businessman didn’t use his real name during the marriage, if ever that they legitimately married each other.

Marcos together with Mayu Murakami

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) confirmed that Marcos’ real name is Norman Mangusin and now facing charges because of faking his identity and documents.

To prove their claims, they compared the fingerprint by Mangusin and Marcos, and it matched.

Mejorada also made a surprising claim, saying that Marcos was already married under his name Norman Mangusin.

He said that a certain Maria Christina Caber married Marcos in Pasay City 18 years ago.

According to Mejorada, Marcos introduced himself to Caber as an Engineer working in Saudi Arabia, but in reality, the latter was working as a baker in the said country.

“Noong bumalik siya galing sa Saudi ay agad siyang nag propose ng kasal kay Christine, eh si Christy kahit may duda ay pumayag na rin dahil mukhang may trabaho naman, mukhang responsable naman, so kinasal sila sa may Pasay noong 2002,” he said.

The wedding between Caber and Marcos was still valid even until today as Mejorada said.

Marcos was also married to another woman in 2012 according to Mejorada whom he refused to name because of privacy reasons.

However, the journalist said that Marcos’s wedding in 2012 was also null and void because the latter was not using his real name during that time.

Mejorada then narrated how Marcos met Murakami in Japan.

He said that FLM introduced himself to the beauty queen as a relative of former President Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

Murakami who’s supposedly clueless about Marcos’ real identity during that time was impressed by how the self-proclaimed businessman flaunted his wealth, but according to Mejorada, he’s only using the money given by his friend.

Mejorada said that Marcos used Murakami as a ‘props’ because he’s planning to run in 2022 as a senator.

“Ito ‘yung game plan ni FLM, na si Mayu ang kanyang magiging Imelda, ‘yan ang totoong dahilan kung bakit niya niligawan, whirlwind marriage na tinatawag, mabilisan, kahit wala pang isang taon na nagkakilala sila ay nagpakasal na kagad si FLM at si Mayu,” he said.

“So nagpakasal sila, pero walang bisa, its still null and void, illegal, ab inition at the start walang bisa, walang kahulugan ‘yun… As far as the law is concern, hindi nga siya pwedeng kasuhan ng bigamy,” he added.

The journalist even said that Murakami kept her silence on what happened to Marcos since he was put under the custody of NBI due to multiple charges.

“No state of concern kahit na nasa Japan siya ngayon, eh hindi nga nagpalabas ng statement, walang Youtube, walang Facebook na nag aalala siya, na she is worried about Francis Leo Marcos, dahil siguro narealize na rin niya na budol budol din siya,” he said.

Marcos in one of his oldest vlogs claimed that Murakami separated with him after he launched the ‘Mayaman Challenge’.

Creator of Encantadia to Ogie Diaz: “Huwag mo akong diktahan kung anong ipo-post ko.”

The known creator of the Filipino fantasy franchise of GMA-7 Encantadia Suzette Doctolero slammed showbiz writer and talent manager Ogie Diaz after he allegedly featured the former in his blind item.

On May 28, Ogie Diaz made the said blind item telling them that they should focus on improving their network’s teleserye instead of criticizing ABS-CBN.

“Mas mabuting pagandahin na lang ninyo ang inyong mga teleserye, lalo na at kayo muna pansamantala ang tanging inaasahan ng taumbayan na makakapagbigay ng entertainment sa kanila habang wala pa ang ABS-CBN sa ere,” the talent manager of famous celebrities like Raffy Tulfo said.

“Andami nyong kuda against ABS, inaano ba kayong dalawa ng ABS, ghurl?” he added.

Doctolero didn’t hesitate to react on Diaz’s blind item and told the talent manager not to interfere with her social media posts against ABS-CBN.

According to her, Diaz should not belittle the shows of GMA-7 because their company was paying correct taxes to the government even if they’re not pouring so much money to their projects like ABS-CBN.

ABS-CBN was accused of evading tax using their PEZA-registered subsidiary.

“Huwag mo akong diktahan kung anong ipo-post ko. Napaka ironic na ‘yang “nyetang freedom of expression ang binabandera ninyo pero pikon at bitter ka sa anumang dissenting opinion dyan sa inyong narrative na drama drama,” Doctolero wrote.

“Huwag mo ring kutyain ang mga shows namin. Yes, mas magastos nyong nagagawa ang inyo kasi ‘di kami nangungutang sa gobyerno o pera ng bayan tapos ipapa write off. Nah, di namin gawain yan. Wala kaming utang. Galing sa malinis na paraan ang pera ng kompanya ko kaya tangina, sobrang proud ako. Tapos disente at honest na nagbabayad pa ng tax kaya sobrang wow!” she added.

She proudly said that GMA-7 historical fiction and LGBT shows don’t receive criticisms.

“First and last time na gumawa kayo, kumusta ba? Hindi ba’t naghuramentado ang mga indigenous people? Nakatikim rin ng talak sa akin yung headwriter nun. No wonder at winakasan agad. Kayo pa? Ugali ninyong patagalin ang show. Oh wait, manager ka nga pala ng isa sa main cast nun kaya no wonder, gigil ka sa akin. to be fair, magaling naman silang artista. Amb*b*, historically at culturally insensitve /inaccurate lang nung palabas,” she said.

“So huwag kang magyabang at manglait ha? At ibabalik din sa iyo. Alalahanin, ‘di kayo perpekto. Kaya nga may mga kaso at issue now e ‘no?” she added.

Doctolero clarified that she’s also supporting ABS-CBN.

She didn’t name Diaz on her first post, but she decided to mention the talent manager on her other post.

In another Facebook post, Doctolero mentioned Diaz asking him why he’s targeting her in his social media post.

“Ogie, basa. Simulan mo na ring umihi sa salawal mo. Di mo nga mapagtanggol yang kompanya mo tapos may kapal ka pa ng fez na magpa blind item at manira. Anong ikinagagalit mo ba? Wala naman kaming sinabi masama. Wait, masama bang sabihin ay bakit maliit ang tax na binayaran? Sana all. Maski kahit sinong taxpayer: Mapapa sana all naman talaga,” she said.

“Mare, Di ito ang panahon para magparami ka ng mga kaaway. Ako? Sus, wala akong pake. Just Be nice. At Magigiing nice din kami sa iyo. At least ako, titikom ang bibig ko. Kung nice ka. Kung walang pandemic, yayayain kitang magkape. Kwento kwentuhan lang. Seryoso,” she added.

 

Carlo Aquino reacts on government’s lack of mass testing: “Ayoko magbayad ng tax!”

Carlo Aquino expressed his disappointment with the government’s COVID-19 response in a short message posted in his Instagram story.

@Kapamilyakingdom, an Instagram page made to update the netizens about ABS-CBN celebrities shared the now-expired story of Aquino.

“Ayoko magbayad ng tax… walang mass testing,” Aquino said, reacting to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque’s statement that the government was not considering conducting mass testing in the country.

Aquino who’s a talent of ABS-CBN joined other artists like Angel Locsin, Angelica Panganiban, and Pokwang to urge the government to conduct mass testing.

 

Aquino received criticisms from the netizens after he said that he’s not willing to pay taxes anymore.

“Wala lang mass testing, hindi ka na magbabayad ng Tax?!?!  Hindi lang sa DOH napupunta ang ang binabayad mong tax. And mass testing is not the answer or solution to the problem of Covid-19. Disiplina ang kelangan nyo!” netizen @msmarilynlim said.

“Mass testing??? Sa MAYAMANG bansa ngá hindi magawa. Kung mka demand kayo kala mó 100% population nagbabayad ng buwis! Tigilan nyo kahibangan nyo. Ang kailangan natin desiplina!” netizen @joie_20 remarked.

“You should watch the video wherein Harry Roque clarified that and even called out the reporter who misunderstood what he said. There’s no Mass Testing but there’s an Expanded Targeted Testing Program. Wuhan, China is having a Mass Testing because of the 2nd wave but it doesn’t mean they’re doing it to the whole Country. It’s only for Wuhan, they couldn’t afford to do it for the whole China. :)” netizen @godlxxn commented.

It can be remembered that Roque was criticized on social media after saying that the government decided to conduct ‘expanded targeted testing’ instead of mass testing.

Roque argued that conducting mass testing was impossible to conduct to a country with a population of more than 100-M.

“Mayroon po tayong expanded targeted testing. Siyempre sa simula ay mahina po iyan dahil bago pa lang ang sakit na ito. Bago ang mga teknolohiya at laboratories para i-testing sa sakit na ito. Yes, kakaunti tayo nung nagsimula pero we are aiming for 30,000. Maling-mali po ang report mo na walang kahit anong priority na binibigay ang gobyerno sa testing,” sabi ni Roque.

Host who worked for DZMM for 17 years to ABS-CBN CEO Katigbak: Naisip niyo rin po ba yung buhay ng mga pinagtatangal niyo?

By
pinoytrend
-

Former DZMM host Jobert Sucaldito criticized his former boss, ABS-CBN CEO Carlo Katikbak after the latter made a speech dedicated to the people that could be affected if the Kapamilya Network forced to shut down for good.

In a lengthy Facebook post, Sucaldito who worked for the ABS-CBN-owned radio station for 17 years said that the said speech of Katikbak only wanted to capture the hearts of the lawmakers and the people watching the franchise hearing, hoping that they could get more support.

However, the veteran showbiz reporter said that Katikbak’s speech was only meant to portray ABS-CBN as the victim on the franchise issue.

“Diyan magaling ang ABS-CBN – sa pagkundisyon sa mga utak ng sambayanan na para silang inaapi when in fact sila itong magaling mang-api sa kanilang mga empleyado in the past. Mukhang na-master na nila ang paawa effect para makakuha ng simpatiya sa bawat Pilipinong nabobola nila. Paano na lang daw ang magiging buhay ng mga empleyado nila should they lose their jobs lalo na in time of this pandemic? Talaga lang ha. Naisip niyo iyon – ba’t ngayon lang? Dahil may kailangan kayo sa gobyerno kaya pati taumbayan ay sinasali ninyo sa emotional appeal ninyo?” Sucaldito said.

He then asked why Katikbak didn’t think of the welfare of the former workers they allegedly removed or forced to resign.

“Ibabalik ko lang Mr. Carlo Katigbak ang statement mo – paano kaya kaming pinagtatanggal ninyo at sinuspinde indefinitely? Naisip niyo rin ba ang naging buhay ng more than 100 cameramen na pinagtatanggal ninyo nung 2010 at pinakain pa sa five-star hotels bago ninyo sinabing they’re no longer connected with your company? Ok, wala ka pa nung panahong iyon but as you speak kanina, you were speaking on behalf of the management kaya ganoon na rin iyon,” he stated.

“Naawa ba kayo sa kanila? Naawa rin ba kayo sa mga pamilya nila? Naisip niyo ba kung saan sila kukuha ng ipapakain nila sa mga anak nila nung tanggalin niyo sila sa kompanya? Are you serious with what you said kanina or nagpapatawa ka lang?” he added.

Because of being removed months before the COVID-19 pandemic, Sucaldito shared that he’s already worried about where to get money to spend for their daily needs.

He’s also unsure if he’s already allowed to search for work because his contract with the network still effective until December.

“After more than 17 long years – nagawa niyo ito sa akin? In short, hahayaan niyo na lang kaming magutom until the end of the year? Mukhang ikasisiya pa nga yata ninyong makitang nagdurusa ako at hahayaang mamatay sa gutom kasama ng sampu sa aking pamilya. Iyan ba ang Kapamilyang sinasabi mo?” he said.

“Ngayon you are appealing to Congress na parang nag-aalala kayo sa mga buhay namin and referred yourself as a CONCERNED KAPAMILYA who cares for your employees. THAT’S A BIG LIE! YOU ARE NOT CONCERNED – sa totoo lang, YOU ARE VERY CRUEL!!!!! ABS-CBN IS VERY CRUEL in the guise of being mabait sa mata ng publiko..Kahit harap-harapan ay taas-noo kong sasabihin sa inyong YOU ARE VERY CRUEL!!!!!!!!” he added.

Sucaldito even questioned why ABS-CBN was boasting their charitable works despite being funded by sponsors and donors.

“Malay naman naming baka pinagkitaan niyo pa ang mga ito kasi nga, wala namang audit-audit iyan and tax free dahil sa foundation nga ang mga ito. Mula noon hanggang ngayon, ang laki ng kinita ng Lingkod Kapamiya at Batay-Bata Foundation na iyan – alam ba ng mga tao kung magkano lahat ng nalikom ninyong mga cash donations at kung magkano lang ang nailabas ninyo? Show us proofs para mapaniwala niyo kaming di ninyo pinagkitaan ang mga foundations na iyan,” he said.

He then praised Deputy Speaker Rodante Marcoleta for his speech against the television network giant.

Sucaldito became a critic of ABS-CBN after he was suspended to his radio show because of talking about the relationship status of a top Kapamilya star.

He then filed an illegal dismissal complaint against ABS-CBN Network and DZMM on March 5.

On May 8, he wrote a viral open letter to ABS-CBN telling them not to connect the freedom of the press to their franchise issue.
