The ongoing International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation into former President Rodrigo Duterte, particularly regarding his controversial war on drugs, has sparked significant debate. Duterte’s anti-drug campaign, launched in 2016, allegedly resulted in thousands of extrajudicial killings, prompting the ICC to investigate potential crimes against humanity. As expected, the inquiry has divided public opinion, with staunch supporters defending Duterte’s actions while critics condemn them as human rights violations.
The Lingkod Timog Foundation, a non-governmental organization established in 2005, in partnership with the Philippine Marine Corps Foundation Inc. (PMCFI), successfully conducted a two-day Medical Civic Assistance Program (MEDCAP), on March 1 and 2, 2025, benefiting communities in Zamboanga del Norte and the outskirts of Zamboanga City.
When people hear the name “Mr. Malasakit,” one person immediately comes to mind: Senator Bong Go. His dedication to serving Filipinos, especially during times of crisis, has made him a familiar and trusted figure across the country. Time and again, Senator Go has demonstrated that his top priority is providing assistance, particularly to those facing medical and financial hardships.
Poll surveys have long played a big role in shaping public opinion and guiding election campaigns, both in the Philippines and other countries. These surveys, often used by candidates, political advisors, and the media, provide a quick view of voter preferences. But the question is—how reliable are these surveys in accurately reflecting voter behavior, and how much do they actually influence voters?
The successful operation in Tagum City on January 31, 2025, is a powerful example of the excellent coordination between the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and the Philippine National Police (PNP). This joint effort, which involved several AFP and PNP units, demonstrated how their combined strength can effectively maintain peace and security, especially with the upcoming elections in mind.
The Senate will soon finally approve House Bill No. 6505, which seeks to extend the franchise of Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation (IBC-13) for an additional 25 years. This renewal not only strengthens the network’s operational foundation but also sets the stage for its eventual privatization. IBC-13, once owned by Roberto S. Benedicto and later sequestered by the Corazon Aquino administration, has long struggled with financial instability and mismanagement. With the franchise renewal on the horizon, however, the network is poised for modernization and a significant increase in market value.
The Senate has approved House Bill No. 10841 on Third Reading, which aims to fix the term of office for the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) Commandant. This measure seeks to enhance the leadership stability of the agency, aligning with the country’s need to address growing maritime security challenges amidst rising geopolitical tensions.
The rivalry between Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III and Marikina City Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro has heated up as the 2025 congressional race for Marikina’s First District nears. This contest, once shaped by political alliances, now sees both men vying for control of the district in a head-to-head competition.
With midterm elections fast approaching, Professor Rachel E. Khan’s talk, “Information as a Tool for Citizens’ Trust and Participation in the Policy Process,” delivered in late 2024 at the Senate of the Philippines under the Development Academy of the Philippines’ Capacity Building on Innovative Leadership for Legislative Staff (CBILLS) Program, provides valuable insights that are especially important for me as a journalist for Diyaryo Pinoy and other publications. Since I started writing opinion columns in 2011, I’ve seen how news distribution has changed—from the time when traditional print media was dominant to the growing power of social media. Even with these changes, the publications I write for have continued to print physical copies while also embracing digital platforms to stay relevant in today’s fast-changing media world.
