Hirit ng mga netizens: Kalabitin na si Senate President Chiz Escudero - at maging si Miss Heart Evangelista pa kung kinakailangan - upang aksyunan ang mga batikos kay Senator Jinggoy Estrada!

SENATE PRESIDENT, PAKI-DISIPLINA PO ANG INYONG KAPWA SENADOR!

Tila binagyo sa batikos si Sen. Jinggoy Estrada ngayong linggo dahil sa ilang maiinit na reklamo laban sa kanya. Nauna ang mga reklamong ito sa asal niya sa Senate hearing nang i-interrogate ang ilang resource persons sa Sandro Muhlach issue. Nadagdagan pa ito nang ipa-detene niya at hinatulan nang walang due process ang isang akusado sa nasabing kaso.

Kahapon naman ay viral na viral si Jinggoy dahil sa isang trending video kung saan makikitang inaaway niya ay isang babaeng ayaw siyang pagbigyan dahil lamang Senador sya. Sa nagpatong-patong na issue, ilang netizens ang humihingi na ng pagsuspinde o pagdisiplina sa Senador.

Nasan po ba kayo, Senate President? Alam naming bakasyon nyo din, pero please lang PAKINGGAN niyo po ang taumbayan at AKSYUNAN mo ito!

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. bade farewell to outgoing European Union (EU) Ambassador Luc Véron, awarding him with the Order of Sikatuna.

TOP STORY: MANILA --- President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. bade farewell to outgoing European Union (EU) Ambassador Luc Véron, awarding him with the Order of Sikatuna.

The Order of Sikatuna is a diplomatic merit given to people who have granted exceptional services to the Philippines.

“You’ve been affixed here in all the work that we’ve been doing for the last three years, since I’ve been President. And I think that in that time we really have seen a much deeper interconnection between the Philippines and the EU,” Marcos told Véron in the latter’s farewell call to Malacañan Palace on Thursday.

In response, Véron said in an X post that he was honored to meet with Marcos before leaving.

“Humbled to be conferred the Order of Sikatuna, for strengthened [European Union and Philippine] relations, which I've personally seen manifest across the 60 provinces I've visited,” Véron said.

According to Véron, Marcos’ engagement with EU President Ursula von der Leyen was the highlight of his stay in the Philippines.

During his tenure, Véron was a vocal supporter of the Philippines’ rights to the West Philippine Sea, reiterating the importance of international law during the country’s territorial issues.

In response to his farewell post on X (formerly Twitter), notable personalities such as Philippine Coast Guard Commodore Jay Tarriela and former senator Leila de Lima also shared warm messages.

“Your remarkable stint in our country certainly leaves a lasting mark for a strengthened EU-PH relations. Thank you Luc Veron for your solidarity with our shared causes for human rights, democracy and peace. Godspeed!” De Lima said.

To recall, Véron supported De Lima’s acquittal from what is now believed to be trumped up criminal charges.

“After so many years, this is a victory for justice! The EU applauds and stands alongside this verdict for justice and human rights,” Véron said of De Lima’s acquittal in June. — Jean Mangaluz/Philstar.com

'Too late' na nga ba ang pa-sorry ni Sen. Jinggoy?

DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE

Matapos masabihan ni Karen Davila, nagpalabas ng statement si Senador Jinggoy Estrada na wala naman daw syang intensyon na pahiyain sina Gerald Santos at Sandro Muhlach sa pandinig sa Senado.

Pero "too late" na daw ang nasabing statement kasi daan-daang video at libo-libong comment na ang umiikot online na nagpapakita ng galit ng sambayanan sa "harsh" at "insensitive" approach ng Senador.

READ: The partner of one of the accused contractors in the Sandro Muhlach case calls for justice to take its course through the courts and not through public spectacle. Despite the official case already being processed by the DOJ, the Senate has continued its investigation "in aid of legislation" amid overwhelming criticism.

"LET THE WHEELS OF JUSTICE RUN THEIR COURSE", NONES' PARTNER ASKS

Jojo Nones' longtime partner has spoken up to call for due process in the courts on the judgment on the alleged harassment case of Sandro Muhlach.

“I know what he’s capable of and what he’s not. He’s far from perfect, but I’m certain that the people who truly know Jojo have experienced the love and light in his heart," shares Ryan Benitez.

“You may have unfavorable opinion of them now, but Jojo and Dode are people too—with family and friends who love them and who are also hurting," he adds.

Nones is still currently in the detention facility of the Senate after being cited in contempt by Senator Jinggoy Estrada during the 4th hearing on the Muhlach issue.

Despite the official case already being processed by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Senate has continued its investigation "in aid of legislation" amid overwhelming criticism from the public on the Senators' decorum and the misuse of government funds on a celebrity issue.

TINGNAN: Karen Davila, may mensahe para kay Senador Jinggoy sa kabila ng pambabash ng mga netizens sa kanya matapos ang hearing sa Muhlach case

KAREN DAVILA, BUMWELTA KAY JINGGOY SA KABILA NG SIGAW NG NETIZENS NG SUSPENSION SA SENADOR

Kung ang beteranong TV personality na si Karen Davila ang tatanungin, "public shaming" ang nangyari at hindi Senate hearing sa alleged harassment cases ng ilang celebrities. Sa isang public post, nireklamo ni Davila ang attitude ni Senator Jinggoy Estrada na laging galit at bastos sa pagtatanong sa mga resource speakers.

Maaalalang hindi lang si Davila ang naglabas na ng ganitong pahayag. Kinakalampag din ng mga netizens sina SP Chiz Escudero at iba pang mga Senador na magfile ng suspension o penalty kay Jinggoy upang magsilbing leksyon nang hindi na maulit ang ganitong "public shaming".

Inulan na ng batikos ang mga hearing sa Muhlach case nung simula pa lang. "Sayang sa oras at pera" at "di naman national interest" ang sumbat ng masa, at nadagdagan pa ng mga kinaiinisang pahayag mula kina Jinggoy at Sen. Robin Padilla.

PUBLIC OPINION: Ito nga ba ang "diversion" na sinasabing dahilan ng mga netizen kung bakit naka-ilang hearing na ang Senado sa kaso ni Sandro Muhlach na animo'y hindi naman "public concern" at maaaring pag-usapan sa korte na lang?

JINGGOY, BIDA BIDA SA SENADO PARA HINDI BUMALIK SA PRESO

Tila trigger happy si Senador Estrada nang ipa-detention ang isa sa mga akusado sa kaso ni Sandro Muhlach. Ayon sa mga eksperto, ABUSO ito ng kapangyarihan ng Senador dahil may mga karapatang dapat sundin ang mga sumasapi sa Senate hearing.

Pero go lang ng go si Jinggoy dahil baka gusto niyang maiba ang usapin at makalimutan na ng mga tao na siya ay ang tunay na GUILTY - without reasonable doubt!

CALLS FOR SUSPENSION. Netizens are claiming the Senator may have committed "disorderly behavior" in his insensitive and harsh questions and remarks on the celebrities concerned following the Senate hearing | Batas Balita

PUBLIC ASKS SENATORS TO CONSIDER JINGGOY'S SUSPENSION AFTER MUHLACH HEARING

"Each House may ... punish its Members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds of all its Members, suspend or expel a Member. A penalty of suspension, when imposed, shall not exceed sixty days," says the Constitution.

After reacting to Senator Estrada's "harsh", "abusive", and "insensitive" reactions on the hearing on Sandro Muhlach's case, netizens have began to call for Senate President Chiz Escudero and other Senators to take action. According to them, Estrada has violated Senate rules, acted in a way uncalled for as a Senator, and deserves disciplinary action.

As so-called REPRESENTATIVES of the people, the public's opinion deserves to be heeded.
