Ex-sundalo, kinumpirma ang umano’y pag-deliver ng maleta ng pera kina Martin Romualdez at PBBM

Kinumpirma ng labingwalong dating sundalo ang naunang akusasyon ni dating Marine na si Orly Guteza hinggil sa umano’y pagdadala ng malalaking halaga ng pera sa pamamagitan ng mga maleta para kay Leyte Rep. at dating House Speaker na si Martin Romualdez. Ayon kay Atty. Virgilio Baligod, isinagawa umano ang mga delivery bilang bahagi ng kickback mula sa flood control projects.

Sa isang press conference na ginanap sa Club Filipino sa San Juan, ibinahagi ni Baligod na ilang beses umanong naghatid ng mga maleta ng pera ang mga sundalo, na tinatayang aabot sa P805 bilyon ang kabuuang halaga. Sinabi rin niya na ang mga naturang maleta ay inihatid umano sa iba’t ibang lokasyon, kabilang ang Forbes Park at Paoay, at iniugnay ang mga ito kina Romualdez at Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr..

Naglabas din si Baligod ng mga larawan na umano’y nagpapakita ng mga maletang ginamit sa pagdadala ng pera. Dagdag pa niya, ginamit din umano ang eroplano ni dating Ako Bicol Partylist Rep. Zaldy Co sa paghahatid ng pera sa iba’t ibang pulitiko. Nauna nang sinabi ni Guteza na personal siyang nagdala ng 46 maleta ng pera kina Romualdez at Co.

Iginiit ni Baligod na naniniwala siya na si Marcos ang nasa likod ng umano’y anomalya, habang binanggit din niya na may natanggap silang impormasyon na si Guteza ay umalis na ng bansa. “Marami po kaming nasasagap na balita na pinapunta po siya sa ibang bansa,” ayon kay Baligod.

Subalit mariing pinabulaanan ng Malacañang Palace ang mga akusasyon, at iginiit na walang katotohanan ang mga paratang at nananatiling walang sapat na ebidensya upang patunayan ang mga alegasyon laban sa Pangulo at iba pang opisyal.

DepEd Hero in the Highlands: Teacher Jeric turns vlog into lifeline for hungry learners in Misamis Occidental

via Bhal Abad Cabrera | February 25, 2026

MISAMIS OCCIDENTAL, Philippines – In the upland village of Anonang Diut, Bonifacio, where the roads are rough and resources are scarce, one teacher chose to turn compassion into concrete action.

At Bag-ong Anonang Diut Elementary School, school feeding is no longer limited to a select few. It has become universal across all grade levels – a rare initiative in a small mountain school. Behind it is Teacher Jeric Maribao, a Misamisnon educator who believes that no child should sit in class on an empty stomach.

In 2022, as communities were still reeling from the impact of the pandemic, Jeric saw a growing problem: students coming to school hungry, distracted, and at risk of dropping out. Instead of waiting for help, he launched a school feeding program using his own resources and determination.

But Jeric was not only a teacher inside the classroom. Through his online platforms, Jeric’s Channel and Jeric’s Channel 2.0, he became a teacher-vlogger – using social media not for fame, but for advocacy.

Through personal fundraising, the support of netizens, philanthropists, and brand collaborations, his feeding initiative expanded. What started as daily meals soon grew into grocery distributions for families, school supplies and uniforms for learners, scholarship support, and even livelihood assistance for parents.

The results were immediate and measurable, enrollment increased, attendance improved. Students became more active in class. More importantly, hope returned to a community that once struggled quietly.

Colleagues describe Jeric as calm and compassionate – a leader who listens before acting, and who sees education not just as instruction, but as transformation.

His work reflects what many in Misamis Occidental call the “Asenso Brand of Service” – a model of leadership grounded in action, inclusivity, and shared responsibility. For Jeric, asenso is not about titles or recognition. It is about ensuring that progress reaches even the most remote classroom.

In the mountains of Misamis Occidental, progress looks like a warm meal before a lesson. It sounds like children reciting their answers with renewed energy. And it feels like a community rising together.

For Teacher Jeric Maribao, being a Misamisnon means serving where you are most needed – and proving that even a single classroom can spark lasting change.

Oaminal files bill to regulate children’s gadget use: ‘No app can replace a parent’s touch’

via Bhal Abad Cabrera | February 23, 2026

MANILA, Philippines – Citing growing concerns over the impact of screen exposure on children, Congressman Atty. Indy Oaminal announced he has filed a bill seeking to regulate gadget use among minors, proposing strict limits based on age.

In a statement posted on his official social media platforms, Congressman Oaminal said the measure aims to address the developmental risks linked to excessive screen time.

“No app can replace a parent’s touch,” he wrote, emphasizing that technology should not substitute parental guidance.

The proposed measure, filed under Asenso Pinoy Party-list, outlines the following guidelines:
• Ages 0–2: Zero screen time (prohibited)
• Ages 2–5: Less than one hour per day
• Ages 6–12: Less than two hours per day

Oaminal argued that in today’s digital environment, it has become increasingly common for parents and guardians to hand children gadgets for entertainment or distraction. However, he warned that convenience may come at a long-term cost.

“Studies have shown that excessive screen time during early childhood hampers growth and negatively affects brain and emotional development,” he said.

While the full text of the bill has yet to be released publicly, the lawmaker noted that similar policies and guidelines have already been adopted in other countries, signaling a global push to safeguard children’s well-being in the digital age.

The proposal adds to ongoing debates about balancing technological access with child development, particularly as online learning, gaming, and social media use continue to expand among younger Filipinos.

Oaminal stressed that the measure is not anti-technology but pro-child.

“Technology is a tool,” he said. “But it should never be a substitute for the warmth of a parent’s guidance. Let’s protect our children today to secure our nation’s tomorrow.”

4th impeachment complaint vs VP Sara may basbas ni Romualdez -- Tiangco

Kumbinsido si Navotas City Rep. Toby Tiangco na may basbas ni dating House Speaker at Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez ang ikaapat na impeachment complaint laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.

Sa isang panayam, sinabi ni Tiangco na siguradong alam ni Romualdez ang tungkol sa ikaapat na impeachment dahil ang nag-endorso nito ay si Deputy Speaker Paolo Ortega V, na isang miyembro ng partidong Lakas.

Ayon kay Tiangco, siguradong kinonsulta muna ni Ortega si Romualdez, na siyang pangulo ng partido, bago nito ginawa ang pag-endorso sa impeachment complaint.

“Hindi ako naniniwala na ang isang ganitong kalaking bagay eh ifa-file ng isang leader ng Lakas nang hindi nagkokonsulta kay former Speaker Romualdez. Ang tingin ko pa nga diyan is siya ang may gusto na mai-file ‘yan,” giit ni Tiangco.

Idinagdag pa ni Tiangco na batid ni Romualdez na posibleng humarap siya sa pananagutan ukol sa maanomalyang flood control projects kung manalo si VP Sara sa 2028 elections.

“Assuming he gets away with accountability dito sa administrasyon na ito, I’m sure kung manalo si VP Sara as president, he will not get away from accountability, di ba? At alam niya rin ‘yon,” wika pa ni Tiangco.

Nanawagan naman si Tiangco sa liderato ng Kamara na maging patas sa proseso sa impeachment complaints, katulad ng ginawa sa mga reklamo laban kay Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Una nang sinabi ni Tiangco na may command responsibility si Romualdez sa sinasabing insertion sa flood control projects na iniuugnay kay dating Ako-Bicol Party-list Representative Zaldy Co.

Paliwanag ni Tiangco, hindi sana nangyari ang pagsingit ni Co ng pondo para sa flood control kung pinigilan lang ito ni Romualdez.

Real CCTV Footage: The Moment No One Can Explain

CCTV RECORD:
📍 Base Camp
📅 February 19, 2026
⏰ 3:00 A

At exactly this moment,
the base camp gate opened…

But CCTV and witnesses show
no person touching it.

According to accounts from personnel,
this location has a long history of tragedy

• A construction worker allegedly died here years ago.
• Several uniformed personnels assigned to this unit later died during operations.

For many stationed here,
the camp is not only a workplace…
it is a place filled with memories of fallen comrades.

So what really opened the gate?

Wind pressure?
Mechanical fault?
Or something we cannot explain?

You decide.
