‘APAT NA ABOGADO PO TAYONG MAG-UUSAP DITO’
Senator-judge Pia Cayetano asks whether, in a grave threats case, the alleged victim must personally feel threatened or if it is enough that the statement is perceived as threatening by the general public. She directed the question to the witness, Atty. Jeremy Lotoc, defense lawyer Mark Vinluan, and prosecutor Amando Ligutan. #VPonTrial

Imagine the skill it took to make marble look wet. In The Nymph (1858), Italian sculptor Giovanni Lombardi carved solid stone to resemble water rippling around her bare feet.
Completed in 1858 for a private palazzo in Brescia, La Ninfa showcases the astonishing skill of Italian sculptor Giovanni Battista Lombardi, a master of 19th-century realism who pushed marble to its limits. At a time when sculptors competed to make stone resemble fabric, flesh, and flowing water, Lombardi created a figure so lifelike it seems to react to the cold stream beneath her feet.
Though influenced by Neoclassicism, Lombardi favored sensual realism over idealized gods, focusing instead on subtle human details like shifting weight and toes pressing into a streambed. The sculpture required extreme undercutting and polishing, where a single mistake could ruin weeks of work. Commissioned for an elite patron, it also reflected a broader fascination with artistic mastery. Lombardi was part of a small group of Italian sculptors sometimes called “the illusionists,” artists who challenged marble’s hardness by making it appear soft, fluid, and alive.

Suspended ako as a lawyer so I cannot practice law.
Suspended si Jinggoy Estrada as a Senator so he cannot pass bills, attend hearings, or act as Judge of the impeachment court.
He shouldn’t be counted sa magic number to convict Sara. 👊
15 to convict dapat instead of 16. 😇

Heartbreaking reality. A father of 5 in the Philippines breaks down as Trump's disastrous war on Iran doubles fuel costs, leaving his children starving. With 98 percent of oil routes blocked, the country is 40 days away from total collapse. The world is suffering.

WORST MARK VILLAR PROJECT IN MANILA
Two days ago, sumigaw at nagalit si Sec. Vince Dizon sa mga Manila DPWH engineers.
Hingi kasi sila ng hingi ng budget para sa repair and maintenance ng “Sunog Apog Pumping Station” eh hindi naman gumagana since 2020.
Binigyan sila ng 94 Million ngayong 2025 Budget at humihingi pa ng 200 Million for 2026!
BUT, the project itself was already funded with a whopping 774 Million in 2017.
Nagsimula yung construction nuong 2018 tapos nag inauguration 2020 pero never gumana kahit hanggang ngayon.
According to PhilStar, barangay officials said they never needed the pumping station in the first place. They claimed they were not consulted before construction began.
And sa investigation ni Sec. Vince Dizon, imbes na makatulong eh nakaka perwisyo at dagdag pa yung Pumping Station sa problema ng baha.
Guess who funded and inaugurated the pumping station when he was a DPWH Secretary?
Tahimik lang kayo. Si Mark Villar lang naman.
At proud na proud pa sila niyan ni Rodrigo Duterte ah. Tingnan nyo naman yung bronze marker or plaque.
Ang Congressman duon? Rolando Valeriano.
Ang Mayor nuong 2019-2022? Isko Moreno.
Facts lang.
