QUICK TAKE: MAIN CHARACTER SYNDROME?
The meme that took over the country this week may be entertaining for some, but what’s disappointing is how it reflects evasion of accountability and disregard for the rule of law. All of this unfolded alongside the so-called Senate coup, the sudden change in Senate leadership, and Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa’s public outburst - all within the same day.

Ngunit para sa mga tsuper na araw-araw humaharap sa tumataas na presyo ng krudo, mabigat na boundary, at lim
