By Rob Rances The AFP is about to face the biggest test of its constitutional loyalty. For weeks now, may mga bulong-bulungan ng “transition council,” “caretaker government,” at “Resign All” movement na malinaw na sumusubok umiwas, lumihis, o lumagpas sa constitutional line of succession. And with the November 30 protests being framed by certain political factions as a way to “reconfigure” leadership outside the VP, the danger becomes obvious: Some actors want an unconstitutional shortcut. But the 1987 Constitution is unambiguous: If the President resigns, becomes permanently disabled, or is removed—the Vice President automatically becomes President. No committee. No junta. No transition council. No caretaker group. No political negotiating table. Automatic. Self-executing. Non-negotiable. This means only one thing… The AFP must protect the constitutional succession—not the wishes of politicians or political groups terrified of a Sara Duterte presidency. Because under Article II, Secti...

By Edwin Jamora Congratulations, Maharlika! What a moment of vindication. For years, you stood your ground while the entire machinery of power tried to silence you — 7 lawsuits, death threats, harassment, and the daily bile from Alpotera, the “suntok-suntok” bravado of Chupangga, and the constant smearing by Chongki calling you a liar and fake news. And yet, truth has a funny way of surviving. First, Zaldy Co himself confirmed the corruption you’ve been exposing for years — naming Vangag and Tamby in the very schemes they swore didn’t exist. Then came the second earthquake: Imee Marcos admitting that Bongbong Marcos and his own family struggle with drug use. Exactly the allegations you were attacked, mocked, and nearly destroyed for saying out loud. They silenced you. They threatened you. They tried to break you. But the truth has now spoken for you — straight from the mouths of the very people who tried to deny it. Today, you’re not just vindicated. You’re validated, proven right, and...

From Saga Sphere SAMPAGUITA: THE NATIONAL PRIDE SONG OF THE PHILIPPINES “Sampaguita”, often sung or performed in schools, cultural events, and national celebrations, is one of the most iconic traditional Filipino songs that honors the national flower of the Philippines—the sampaguita, a small white jasmine known for its delicate fragrance and symbolism of purity, humility, and unwavering love. This folk song is more than just a melody; it is a reflection of Filipino identity, a musical tribute to the values deeply embedded in the nation's soul. Each lyric captures how Filipinos view beauty—not through grandeur or extravagance, but through simplicity, gentleness, and quiet strength. The sampaguita flower, though small, is precious and dignified, much like the Filipino spirit that thrives with resilience despite hardships. Traditionally, “Sampaguita” has been performed by children in schools as a way to introduce them to cultural pride at an early age. Its melody is soft and graceful...

By Paulino Misa 15 November 2025 BBM's PSYCHOPATHIC REVENGE The practical reality is that Jr. perfected what his father was not able to do and if you want to psychoanalyze it seems to me that BBM has long been planning his revenge on the country who caused his father's ignonimous end and decades-long unburial.  That he had to get rid of the ones who allowed him to gain power means nothing to him. His only goal is to bring the country and the Filipinos who committed such calumny to their knees in eternal misery.  That is evident from the moment he took office and IMMEDIATELY began his rule of plunder. In short, he is really a cocaine-fueled psychopath like the Al Pacino movie. He is not plundering for the money. He is using most of it to simply buy off anyone to bend them to his wishes on a name your price, sky is the limit basis.  Whereas people used to be bought off only with a few millions or tens of millions, he has raised it up to a whole new level of billions and hun...

From Hello, BKDNN In the hills of Malaybalay, Bukidnon, floods and soil erosion are real threats to farms, homes, and communities. But one woman has been quietly building a natural solution — armed not with machines, but with Philippine Giant Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). Ma'am Myrna Decipulo, retired government worker and locally known as the Mother of the Giant Bamboo, has spent decades propagating bamboo on her family land. Together with her late husband Sir Bert, she built a nursery that has distributed nearly a million bamboo propagules across the Philippines, training farmers, indigenous communities, and LGUs in sustainable planting techniques. Bamboo isn’t just an ordinary plant. Its dense root system stabilizes soil, absorbs rainwater, and reduces runoff, making it a natural shield against floods and landslides. Its rapid growth, regenerative properties, and carbon-storing ability make it a key player in climate adaptation — a role recognized by initiatives like Rizome Bamb...

From Hello, BKDNN Real or Fiction  We walk among heroes. Not just the ones with blue checks or thousands of followers, but those whose compassion doesn’t need an audience, until people start talking about it. Meet Jayboy Magdadaro, the 15-year-old from Fatima, Barangay Jubay, in the municipality of Liloan, Cebu, who saved over 50 lives during the heavy floods in Jubay. Jayboy is no stranger to helping others. Even before Typhoon Tino hit, he had been volunteering with the Sangguniang Kabataan, joining initiatives and activities that supported his community — a clear reflection of his dedication to the welfare of his neighbors. When Typhoon Tino arrived, relentless rain and floodwaters swallowed homes and streets across Jubay. Initially, Jayboy evacuated to Sitio San Roque, expecting his hometown of Fatima to be hit hardest. But destiny had other plans, and Jubay bore the brunt of the disaster. Without hesitation, he grabbed a salbabida (lifebuoy) and a small bangka (boat). From 8 a...

From Collected Quotes When the flood hit her town, most people ran for safety. But twelve-year-old Janela didn’t. She turned back—toward danger—to save something others might’ve ignored. The Philippine flag. Waist-deep in muddy water, wind tearing through roofs, she held on to that soaked piece of cloth like it was life itself. No one told her to do it. No cameras, no crowd, no reward. Just a child’s instinct—to protect the symbol of the country she loves. 🌊 Later, she said, “It’s the flag of our heroes. It deserves respect.” That line hit harder than any speech. In a world where patriotism often fades behind politics, a young girl reminded everyone what quiet courage looks like. She didn’t wave the flag. She guarded it. 💛 And maybe that’s the real kind of heroism—doing the right thing when nobody’s watching. Sometimes, love for one’s country isn’t shouted. It’s simply held—tight, against the current. — ctto

Lifted from Saga Sphere Al Info  Comparing the Strength of Super Typhoons: Yolanda, Odette, and Uwan Super Typhoons Yolanda (Haiyan, 2013), Odette (Rai, 2021), and Uwan (2025) are among the strongest tropical cyclones to ever hit the Philippines. Yolanda reached peak winds of 315 km/h, making it one of the most powerful storms ever recorded globally, causing catastrophic damage in Eastern Visayas. Odette, though slightly weaker, still had sustained winds of 195 km/h and intensified quickly before landfall, devastating the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Uwan,185–205 km/h (115–127 mph)  a more recent storm, strengthened rapidly due to favorable warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear, reaching super typhoon status, with significant rainfall and flooding across affected areas. While all three typhoons share the “super typhoon” classification, their intensity, wind speed, and socio-environmental impacts differ. Yolanda was unprecedented in strength, Odette was notable for ...

From Philippine Weather Watchers This is the only map I could find to give you a perspective on the effects of Uwan. This entire circle will be affected in some way it’s a very large typhoon. The rains could even go as far as Visayas but most will stay in this circle. The strongest winds will be East of the Sierras but the main problem will be the deluge of rains hitting over and over again for over 12 hours. Major to even catastrophic floods could occur as Uwan expands in the CAR. If you are in this circle then now is the time to get things done. Don’t wait until the last minute. Get all your food and water and other necessities now.

From Unknown Facts In La Trinidad, a town in Benguet, Philippines, a taxi driver named Michael Aliping became a local hero. While driving during heavy rain on September 8, he noticed children stranded in knee-deep floodwaters in Barangay Puguis. Without hesitation, he stopped his car and rescued three students — one of whom nearly slipped into a canal — carrying them to safety.  Aliping said his decision was simply because he has a child himself and could not ignore their danger. His act of kindness sparked praise online, reminding people how everyday courage can have a big impact. The incident highlights the serious flood risk in the region and the importance of quick action during emergencies.  #HeroDriver #PhilippinesRescue #BenguetNews #FloodHero #ViralGoodNews #LaTrinidad #CommunityHero #TyphoonFungWong #Philippines #WeatherAlert #GlobalNews

Sen. Allan Cayetano 'JUSTICE WITHOUT BIAS, AND EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW' BASAHA: PAMAHAYAG NI SENADOR ALAN PETER CAYETANO KABAHIN SA ALEGASYONG ICC WARRANT OF ARREST BATOK SEN. DELA ROSA TYLG! Our nation’s strength has always rested on one foundation — our faith in God, in the law, and in the institutions that uphold both. The Supreme Court’s Rules on Extradition Proceedings remind us that if we are to restore the people’s trust in government, we must once again be a nation guided by principle and law — through the aid and guidance of the Almighty — and not by the shifting winds of politics or personal prejudice. The Court has drawn the line clearly: extradition, and all acts of justice, must be rooted in law and due process, not in bias or emotion. Opinions change, but principles remain. That is how we preserve justice and protect democracy. To our people, especially those following the developments involving Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa — I want to assure you: no one is abo...

By Pérez Ndi The Phillipines and her government have seen the warnings of The Lord but they haven't announced on all media to all people to go into 3 days fasting and prayers for Repentance. I dont know why people wanna learn the hard way. I sent warning just like Prophet Jonah in the bible but Your King and His members haven't repented because if they did they will announce on national TV and everywhere for all people to fast 3 days for repentance from idolatry ,witchcraft and pride and sexual immorality.  Majority of your leaders are in the occult and they don't care but soon they will all be exposed.

By Pj Arañador    The Philippine Typhoon  #building vs #nature #climate #science  The Philippines faces some of the world’s most intense typhoons. Cities like Manila, Cebu, and Iloilo are vulnerable not just because of geography—but because of how we’ve built around it. The challenge isn’t just engineering—it’s political will, public awareness, and long-term vision. We echo a growing consensus among urban planners, climate scientists, and disaster risk experts into the deeper look at why this matters so much in the Philippines. Why urban design fuels disaster is the encroachment on natural floodplains: Many communities are built along rivers and coastlines, areas naturally prone to flooding. These zones once absorbed excess water, but now they’re densely populated. Filpinos love cement which creates loss of permeable surfaces.Concrete and asphalt prevent rainwater from soaking into the ground. Instead, water rushes into drainage systems that are often outdated o...

By Damdamag iti Benguet ON CEBU's PAINS & WOUNDS By #DamdamagItiBenguet: When the big mining companies show their maps and talk of “progress,” I do not see prosperity. I see the future gullies that will scar our slopes. I taste the metallic poison that will seep into our rivers, the same rivers where we draw water for our coffee and where our children still play. I see the sacred grounds where we pray, shaken by dynamite until they crumble. They call it “development.” We, the Igorots, call it the beginning of our end. They tell us it will bring jobs. But what good is a salary if the mountain that feeds your soul is gone? What good is a paycheck if the water from your tap is no longer safe to drink? What is the price of the land where your forefathers are buried? The pain of Cebu is a deep, open wound. We cannot look away. We must let their sorrow settle in our bones and become our strength. Their 111 lost lives must be the fire that fuels our vigilance. By #DamdamagItiBenguet: ...

By Duoi Ampilan Bulusan Lake: A Jewel of Nature’s Resilience   Nestled within the lush rainforests of Bulusan Volcano Natural Park in Sorsogon lies a breathtaking testament to Earth’s ancient power, Bulusan Lake.  Formed thousands of years ago by volcanic forces, this 3,673-hectare serene body of water is cradled by mist-kissed forests, a living reminder of nature’s ability to create beauty from chaos.   As I approached the lake, its emerald-green waters shimmered under the soft light, mirroring the dense canopy that embraced it.  The air was alive with the symphony of the rainforest such as the birdsong, rustling leaves, and the distant murmur of flowing streams, a harmony that resonated deep within me.  In that moment, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace, as if the land itself was whispering its timeless secrets.   Speaking with a local park staff, I learned that Bulusan Lake and its surrounding rainforest are protected under the care of ...

From Iloilo Golden Heart ILOILO TYPHOON PROTECTOR Luyag ko lang e share liwat—ining aerial shot sang malapad nga mangrove areas sa coastal sang syudad. Nangin PROTEKSYON naton sa tion sang kalamidad. This mangrove area is a product of natural colonization, made possible by the availability of soil deposits from the city’s flood control project. Over time, this site has evolved into—and continues to grow as—a significant mangrove patch for Iloilo City. Dominated mainly by Avicennia marina (api api), it now plays a vital role in climate change adaptation, carbon sequestration, biodiversity enhancement, and the delivery of essential ecosystem services that benefit the city and its people. We must protect this natural asset as we confront the growing challenges of climate change. Mangroves have long been nature’s fortress for our coastal communities, shielding them from flooding, erosion, and pollution, while providing critical habitat for wildlife and contributing to climate mitigation.

Hugot Adventure 🌋 “How Panay Breaks a Typhoon” When typhoons approach the Visayas, the towering mountains of Panay Island — particularly Mount Madia-as, Mount Nangtud, and Mount Baloy — serve as powerful natural shields. These massive mountain ranges rise over 2,000 meters above sea level, forming a rugged backbone that splits the island from north to south. As a typhoon’s moist, high-velocity winds encounter these peaks, the airflow is forced upward — a process called orographic lifting. This sudden rise cools and condenses the air, causing much of the storm’s moisture to fall as heavy rain on the windward side. In turn, the storm loses part of its energy supply, and its core winds weaken as it passes over land. Simply put, Panay’s mountains don’t just stand tall — they break the storm’s strength. Panay’s heart — the strength of Madia-as, Nangtud, and Baloy — tames the fury of the typhoon. 🌬️ #BagyongTino #PanayIsland #WeatherFacts #PhilippineGeography #ScienceOfStorms #hugotadventu...

I am sending warning to them to stop ,we see what they are doing , if all the witches don't repent soon they will begin to die.  The land also should repent from idolatry  Too much idolatry practice and witchcraft is what's bringing God's judgment over the land of the Phillipines. The witches will have to die for the waters to be calme. Soon they'll be in trouble because of many prayers of the saints(Christians)

By Marple Dame During the onslaught of Typhoon Tino, we opened our gates to our neighbors who could do nothing but watch as their homes were swept away before their eyes. Our house sustained minimal damage. Our family and furbabies were safe. None of my relatives or friends suffered serious harm. And yet, when the storm finally passed, my mother and I found ourselves in tears. We cried not for our own safety, but for our neighbors who lost everything.  Ate Arlyn, whose bike she bought with borrowed money and still unpaid; Kuya Tata, who just finished renovating a small part of his home using his hard-earned saving; Jackie and Rap-Rap, who had just bought things for their unborn baby; Their homes, their memories, their years of hard work are all gone in a single day. Even my father, who rarely shows emotion, fought back tears as he looked around at the devastation. To the corrupt officials and those who failed to act (Yes. You, too, Slater Young and your Monterrazas), you stay dry t...

By Breaking News Davao Dolomite Truth: Mining in Cebu Long Preceded Duterte There’s a persistent narrative circulating online that the dolomite mining in Cebu was a creation of the Duterte administration.  This claim, however, is not only false—it reveals how easily historical context is erased when political agendas take over public discourse. Let’s get the facts straight. Dolomite mining in Cebu did not begin under Rodrigo Duterte. The operations in Barangay Pugalo, Alcoy date back to the early 1980s, long before Duterte even entered national politics.  The Dolomite Mining Corporation (DMC) and the Philippine Mining Service Corporation (PMSC), both established during the Marcos Sr. era, have been extracting and processing dolomite for export for over four decades.  These companies supplied industries in Japan, Korea, and other countries, providing materials for glass, steel, and construction—long before the word “dolomite” became a political buzzword. What the Duterte ...

CTTO   In the Philippines, an innovative solution is bringing education safely across the sea. For children living on remote islands, attending school often meant risky daily boat rides across unpredictable waters. But with the launch of the “school-on-a-boat” initiative, that burden has shifted—from the children to their teachers. These custom-built floating classrooms sail directly to island communities, docking on shorelines where students gather, sometimes barefoot, always eager. The boats are fitted with chalkboards, fold-out desks, and storage for books and learning materials. Some even carry solar panels for fans or lights on cloudy days. Teachers come prepared for multigrade learning, combining lessons for children of different ages and levels in one space. More than just education, these boats represent safety, dignity, and hope. They remove the daily fear of accidents at sea and ease the pressure on families who couldn’t afford fuel or weather delays. Teachers, many of wh...

CTTO You are seeing this correct. This super typhoon Uwan is massive and it’s going to carry a lot of water with it. So this is a 2 day rain accumulation and it’s what I expected. Anywhere from 300 to 414 mm of rain from Uwan.

By Teddy Adarna WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A 249-YEAR CIVILIZATION TRIES TO OVERPOWER ITS 5,000-YEAR EQUIVALENT? By Teddy Adarna Trump once promised, “I’ll destroy China’s economy. It will never rise again.”  But there he was, smiling nervously, praising the man he once threatened. “You are great,” Trump said. “You are a visionary.” That’s not diplomacy. That’s surrender disguised as courtesy. Xi sat calm and unmoved, the embodiment of patience and control. He didn’t need to prove anything, because history was already on his side. Trump begged for soybeans to be bought, for farmers to be saved, for tariffs to be forgiven. The United States, once the world’s richest empire, now pleading for trade relief from the very country it mocked. And Xi? He simply said, “We’ll see how you behave.” That’s the power of a nation that knows it has already won. Then came the real twist, Trump asked China for rare earth minerals, the invisible lifeblood of modern power: fighter jets, chips, technology. Witho...

It is not intended to spread fear, panic, or misinformation. Weather conditions can change and official information must always be verified through PAGASA and local authorities. Introduction The Philippines is no stranger to strong tropical cyclones. Our islands lie along the Pacific typhoon belt, which means at least 20 named storms visit our region every year, and some of them leave behind unforgettable scars. Two such storms that became major points of remembrance for Cebu and the Visayas are Typhoon Odette (international name Rai) in December 2021 and the more recent Typhoon Tino, which struck in late October to early November 2025. Even though both affected Cebu, each storm had a different personality: different paths, wind intensity, rainfall behavior, and different lessons....
