A Lawyer, Yes. But the Law Should Be a Shield for the People—Not for Pride.


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



Sara, you are a lawyer. But a diploma means nothing when the law is used to shield arrogance instead of uphold justice.


₱125 million. Spent in just 11 days as “confidential funds.”

According to the Commission on Audit, ₱73.9 million of that is flagged with a Notice of Disallowance—no clear purpose, incomplete documentation, and reportedly spent on office supplies.

All while teachers scramble for chalk.

Students crowd into classrooms like sardines.

And tricycle drivers suffer through soaring fuel prices.


But instead of explaining, you hid behind your Senate allies—who forced the case back to the House. A move that directly contradicts our Constitution, which mandates the Senate to try impeachment cases, not to dismiss or remand them. There is no such thing as a “remand” in the Constitution. This is not a neighborhood dispute. This is impeachment. And impeachment is sacred.


You face seven articles of impeachment:


Unexplained confidential fund spending


Statements perceived as threats to Marcos and others


Unexplained wealth


Violations of anti-graft laws


Links to the drug war and extrajudicial killings


Acts of destabilization and sedition


Gross betrayal of public trust


This is not petty political drama.

This is the people's demand for truth.


Don’t say this is just “politically motivated.” Because let’s be honest—everything in politics is politically motivated. That’s not the point.

The real question is: Are you guilty or not?


You can’t point to other people’s faults to erase your own. If others are also guilty, investigate them too. But today, you are the one being questioned.

You are the one who must answer.


And if your hands are truly clean—why run from trial?

Why not respect the constitutional process?


Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”

If you have nothing to hide, then stand up.

Prove you serve the people, not just your own name.


The impeachment trial is the path to truth.

Let it proceed. Let the evidence speak.

Let justice, not politics, prevail.


Because in the end, politicians come and go.

But our democratic institutions—the Senate, the Constitution, the process of accountability—must endure.

They are what we must protect. For today. For tomorrow.


Fellow Filipinos, this government does not belong to any politician or dynasty.

And if the powerful protect each other—who will protect us?


We will.


We, the people, are the true sovereign.

And anyone unwilling to be held accountable does not deserve the public’s trust.


We cannot stay silent while our democratic institutions are trampled.

We cannot sit idle while the Constitution is defiled.


So today, we rise.


For the dignity of our government.

For the rule of law.

For the future of our children.


The Philippines belongs to its people—not to lawyers who twist the truth, not to leaders who fear investigation.


Hold the guilty accountable.

Defend our institutions.

Awaken the nation.
