When Respect Fades in the Senate
Ryan Mostar A recent incident inside the Senate exposed how far the institution has shifted from what it once was. A senator facing an International Criminal Court arrest warrant was reportedly pursued by law enforcement agents inside Senate premises. Senators intervened, and the situation escalated into protective custody within the chamber itself. What should have been a straightforward enforcement of legal process instead unfolded inside one of the country’s highest politi

EDITORIAL: Conscience Verdict
The looming impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte is no longer a matter of political rumor or speculative maneuvering. It has entered the difficult but necessary territory of constitutional accountability — where numbers, evidence, and conscience collide. At the center of the unfolding political drama is the House of Representatives’ effort to secure the 106 votes required to elevate the articles of impeachment to the Senate. For some lawmakers, the target appears reacha

Maogma ang Heart
If an international travel youtube vlogger asks me to take me to interesting places around Naga, I would probably draw a blank. Then, after some evidently lengthy span of minutes, maybe, I would say, they should try kinalas, this resort up Mt. Isarog where they have very hot pools and very cold pools. Oh, there are beaches, and there’s Caramoan. But because of my brain fog that took me too long to respond, the vlogger would have probably lost interest, and considered to loo

Stop asking Leni Robredo to run
Ryan Mostar Every time Leni Robredo shows up, the reaction is the same. Before she even finishes speaking, someone in the crowd shouts it: “Leni for President!” Others follow—louder, more insistent—as if repetition can override reality. She has already said she will not run in 2028. At this point, the refusal is no longer unclear. It is being ignored. And that says more about the public than it does about her. Because this clamor is no longer just about wanting better leaders
