We Deserve an Atty Chel Diokno in the government

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We deserve an Atty. Chel Diokno in public office. Sayang at Hindi siya Manali nilang Senator.

Listening to Atty. Chel Diokno now and thinking about the statements of Bato, Go, Revilla, Lapis, Pacquiao, Marcos, etc., makes me realize how broken our country is - when brilliant minds who belong to the Senate are beaten by idiots.  

One Chel Diokno > Pacquiao, Revilla, Lapid, Dela Rosa, Go, Marcos, etc.

Chel Diokno has the BIG BRAIN and the HEART for the Filipinos. 

He deserves a Senate or higher position in the national government to put us forward and not behind like what other in position is doing. Kudos Atty. Chel Diokno. We are with you on this! Keep fighting!

I feel sorry for the choice(s) Filipinos made when it comes to electing their leaders....or is that really the case?

They were not beaten!! Diokno et al were victims of the 7hr glitch.

The election was rigged!!!. Unless talagang utak munggo karamihan sa ating voters. I refuse to accept the latter.

The latter might actually be plausible but "utak munggo" might not be the right term. Those who live below the poverty line don't know any better. Sila rin yung mas nadadali sa vote buying. Konti lang talaga yung educated voters sa PH.

I agree that I used the wrong term in general. However, we also see a lot of people who live comfy life who truly believe the BS that we get from this admin. I won’t go far, I have family members who holds degrees both baccalaureate and post who voted for the clowns.

Ayaw ng DDS ng marunong at may integrity. Sawa na raw sa mga disenteng Dilawan. But when you elect clowns, expect a circus...

Pinoys are instinctively gamblers and basically bandwagoners.

Kung saan llamado, doon tumataya.

Kaya mga bobo at estupido, basta kilala at maingay, nananalo sa senado at kongreso. At minsan sa palasyo.

May mga botante pa rin hindi masyadong maalam sa mga politika kung magtatanong ka sa kanila ang isasagot nila ay kung sino ang sikat sapagkat ang tangi nilang inaalala ay ang mamakakain sa araw araw. In short konti lang ang mga botante na alam kung sino ang karapat dapat.

Are our elected officials is a clear reflection of the voting majority’s preference!? Or we just don't really care? So we vote for the most popular and hoping the majority knows best? Most of them ibinoboto yung mga matutunog na pangalan. Ang hirap tanggapin! 

It made me think also how majority of Filipinos are “illiterate” in terms of choosing their leaders. Im afraid it could be a chain that will rotten the Nation. God save the Philippines.

These politicians are actually wise because they know the general Filipinos. They were able to manipulate and influence many Filipinos. Kaya nga feeling ko hinahayaan ng mga politiko na hindi lumawak and umunlad ang pag-iisip ng mga tao para madali pa rin silang mapanghawakan.

Ayaw nila sa edukado gusto daw nila iyong barubal kung magsalita kasi iyon ang totoo at walang plastik. Oh anyare sa bansa natin? Naging CIRCUS kasi CLOWN ang mga naupo.

I always believe that God gave us the free will to discern so we need to take actions instead of leaving it all to Him. 

"Sayang" can not even express how big of a miss it was for our nation to lose a seat for Attys Chel in the senate room. Ginto na naging BATO pa #PunIntended

Di ba sayang yung Senate slots.. nasaan na yung brightest minds magdedebate about laws, etc.

We really need to step up efforts to educate our voters. Voting really is the most potent way that we can influence our government. Substandard voters = Substandard leaders.

Blame the voters. Naabutan lang eh pinagpalit ang utak.

The Philippines really fucked up after 2016 because the system is stacked against meritocracy and rewards corruption.

When we have an empowered citizenry. IDK when this will happen though....Or at least an engaged one.

Atty. Chel's letter  should inspire the next generation to be a lawyer. His arguments before the Supreme Court earlier today just made me fired up to be a defender of the rule of law and justice. His shrewdness (in the argument) is totally uplifting.

I admire Atty Chel Diokno on the way he responds to Justice Bernabe by citing a Supreme Court case that she penned. It reminded me sa scene sa How to Get Away with Murder, where Annalise Keating filed a classs action law suit against sa justice system sa Pennsylvania. 

What Makes Motorcycles Fun? You Get A Lot of Friends!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The "new normal" provided people ways to continue accomplishing daily tasks and stay in touch with loved ones even amid the pandemic. Thanks to digital tools, such as video conferencing, people had a sense of human interaction, despite being physically distant.

But since no man is an island, face-to-face interactions remain inevitable. For Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI), the No.1 motorcycle manufacturer in the Philippines, motorcycles are among the many "new normal" tools that safely bring people together.

Motorcycles became essential tools in the "new normal" as they serve as a mode of transportation. They also make traveling during the quarantine conveniently and safely. Another benefit a motorcycle gives to riders is meeting new people and building camaraderie amid these difficult times. HPI shows us some of these instances, where connections between motorcycle riders helped themselves and the community. 

Motorcycle Clubs

The number of motorcycle riders in the country started to grow through the years, consequently developing numerous motorcycle clubs in different parts of the country. These clubs helped riders share tips and tricks for their rides, build relationships through their shared love for motorcycles, and surprisingly help communities through charity.

Despite the pandemic's restrictions, motorcycles helped riders build a sense of community without worrying about getting sick since their safety gear also protects them from possible contact from the virus and the motorcycle's ability to distance itself from others.

Motorcycle riding can allow people to safely ride solo, but it can also give them various riding buddies to help them through thick and thin. Just because you are riding solo does not mean you have to go through every hardship alone.


Social Media

Delivery couriers from food delivery apps and e-commerce websites gave people staying at home the convenience of having their daily needs without going out and risking their own safety. And since the start of the quarantine, motorcycle riders started providing their services to people without access to these delivery apps and websites.

Social media became a tool for motorcycle riders through groups like Bayanihan groups and buy-n-sell pages to help local microbusinesses deliver homemade food or sell other items and people needing to get certain essentials like milk for babies or products purchased online that needs to be picked up.

Riders become go-to couriers for people in need of couriers, which further widens their connections and relationships. Social media also helps them stay in touch with other riders since motorcycle groups began developing online for updates, meetups, and charity work.

Before the pandemic, HPI used to hold Riders’ Conventions around the country, but since it is not recommended today, riders can join motorcycle clubs like Honda Genio Club of the Philippines, Honda Supra GTR150 Philippines, Honda AirBlade150 Team Red, AirBlade Riders Club Philippines, Inc. and other local Honda clubs around you. The company recognizes the importance of motorcycles in people's lives as an investment and as an instrument to help each other and further grow the community, especially during these times of uncertainty.

HPI has dedicated its services to create a wide array of motorcycles for every Filipino. This is in line with the company's "ONE DREAM" campaign, which aims to fulfill their dream through the joy of mobility provided by motorcycles.
