    Kung binabastos nang ganito ang kasamahan mong reporter, tumindig ka, tanungin mo uli yung tanong na ayaw sagutin. Silence means complicity. Industriya natin ang inaatake dito. Ano yun, magsasalita ka na lang pag nangyari na sa’yo? Journalist tawag mo sa sarili mo tapos duwag ka?
    WATCH: In his first presscon after the presumptive win of his boss, Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr., Vic Rodriguez ignores questions on how the incoming chief diplomat can travel to the United States with a standing contempt order there. Full story: rappler.com/nation/electio…

    Noynoy Aquino wasn't perfect, but his anti-corruption drive helped revive the Philippine economy. We were able to criticize his policies without the fear that the state would come after us. Thank you for your service, PNoy. Rest in peace.

    JUST IN: Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray endorses VP Leni Robredo for president and running mate Sen Kiko Pangilinan for vice president. She joins Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach and Miss International 2016 Kylie Versoza in backing Robredo. #PHVote @rapplerdotcom

    Our politicians, Cabinet secretaries, and even their families are getting prioritized in testing for COVID-19. So what’s really the DOH policy here? Isn’t there a triage to be followed? So mas priority ba ang makapangyarihan dito kaysa ordinaryong Pilipino?
    Sen. Bong Go confirms to @gmanews that President Duterte’s daughter, Kitty, and partner, Honeylet, were tested for COVID-19 yesterday. No results yet. File photo courtesy: Honeylet AvanceΓ±a via @cedric_castillo

    Only Net25, SMNI, and GMA7 were invited to the press conference of the presumptive president. State-run PTV4 not even there. Preview of what’s to come for the critical press by June 30. Pilipinas, game knb?

    It has truly been an honor to tell the stories inspired by the β€œpink revolution” of the 2022 elections. Thanks to VP Leni and Sen Kiko for treating journalists with respect. Definitely learned a lot in this coverage and earned friends for life. Tuloy-tuloy lang tayo. πŸ’ͺ🏻

    FACT: Been covering VP Leni Robredo’s presidential campaign since she declared her candidacy. NEVER did she say there would be chaos if she loses this race. Her male rivals fell into that trap of a question β€˜no? #PHVote

    Duterte’s ego is so small that he would threaten our medical frontliners just because they told him our healthcare system is on the brink of collapse. Mr. President, they spoke up not to spite you, but to HELP YOU address this pandemic. Grow up.

    WATCH: Aerial shots of that 306,000-strong "Kakampink" crowd for the Leni-Kiko tandem in Naga City, Camarines Sur tonight. Not surprising, as Bicolanos are expected to pull out all the stops for the sole Bicolana in the 2022 presidential race. πŸŽ₯ VP Leni Media Bureau
