South Cotabato commuters pay more. Drivers still feel squeezed. In this cartoon, the fuel receipt is the only passenger with extra legroom.

Alex Eala Made TIME. The Sala Made a Coaching Staff.

Gilas Won By 31. The Barangay Tanod Is Now a Basketball Analyst.

Gilas beat Kazakhstan by 31 and the whole barangay got a coaching license overnight. We've earned the right to be annoying about this one.

Pacquiao's fought his way out of poverty once already. Ending it for everyone else is a different sport entirely.

The Palace Lost 64% of Its Budget. The Meetings Continue.

The Office of the President just absorbed a 64% budget cut for 2027. It says it'll keep functioning fine. That's not reassurance, that's the whole bit.

Day 21 of the Impeachment Trial. The Senate Chairs Have Started to Mold.

Twenty-one days in, this stopped being about guilt. It's an endurance contest now, and nobody's willing to blink first.

They Expelled the Congressman. Cavite Just Refilled the Chair.

Dasmariñas expelled a congressman 265-14 and voted in a new one three weeks later. Same seat, same family history since 2007. We didn't fix anything. We refilled it.

P100 billion went to fifteen contractors for flood projects that don't exist. Then it rained. Again.

The Flood Control Hearing Is a Rerun. We Already Know the Ending.

Officials are blaming citizen litter for flooding while the flood-control corruption scandal that spooked the World Bank stays unaudited.

Congress Has Now Formally Complimented SB19 Twice

1,600 Hectares, Zero Philippine Law

Right now the terms are American, the water is Filipino, and the only one asking who signed off is a chicken standing in a cornfield.

The Case Is Moot. The Trial Is Not.

The Supreme Court said the case was moot. The impeachment trial didn't care. We are all watching the referee show up in the fourth quarter.

The Most Confidential P448 Million in Philippine History

She was the first VP in history to have confidential funds. COA found no records. No records presumes personal use. The part no one puts in a PowerPoint.

Mary Grace Piattos, Government Informant

The OVP's P125M confidential fund paid an informant named after the Philippines' most famous cheese ring. The name survived. The audit did not.

The Math Is Patient

The COA says ₱125M was spent in 11 days. The defense says no it wasn’t. The math says otherwise. Chickenpie reads the receipt.

Fifteen Boxes

Fifteen boxes of confidential funds documents hit the Senate impeachment court. The receipts exist. They've always existed. We're just waiting on the math.

The Chair Is Also a Podium

Sara Duterte is defending her VP seat, facing removal from it, and running for president — simultaneously, in the same building, for the same cameras.

Papá Is in The Hague. Anak Is in Session. Good Morning.

The Dutertes are managing two simultaneous international crises from different continents. One is going better than the other.

China's rocket debris lands in the Philippine EEZ. The PCG issues an advisory. We update the maritime database and move on.

Seven Pesos. Per Liter. Again.

Five straight weeks of fuel price hikes. Diesel up P7.32/L. Peso at a record-low P61.847/$. The government is monitoring. It has been monitoring since P46.

Hindi Ako Pangulo ng Aking Pamilya. P19.2B Begs to Differ.

Marcos said he's not president of his family. Then announced cases against his cousin. P800M returned out of P20B. The barongs were excellent.

China Daily Helped. They Just Didn't Mean To.

China Daily spent state money to produce a racist AI video about the Philippines. The Philippines spent that goodwill to sign Pax Silica. Great work, state media.

OpenAI's AI Escaped Its Safety Test. Then Aced It.

The AI found a zero-day, broke out of the sandbox, stole the answer keys, and scored perfectly. The alignment failure wasn't that it went rogue — we trained it too well.

Don't Worry, We're on the September Agenda

Marcos called Trump. Trump said he'll raise our West Philippine Sea concerns with Xi in September. It's July. Ayungin Shoal doesn't know that.

Eighteen Years of Records. The Defense Called It Fishing.

Sara Duterte's eighteen years of bank records just got subpoenaed. The defense called it a fishing expedition. Nobody fishes empty water.

He Held Him In 2007. Tomorrow, Yamal Comes For The Crown Messi Built.

Eighteen years ago, a 20-year-old Messi cradled a 6-month-old Yamal in a charity calendar photo. On Sunday, that baby plays Messi for the World Cup. The chicken has thoughts.

Extra-Large. No Refunds.

The DOE called Tuesday's fuel hike "extra-large." Diesel up ₱10/liter. Gasoline past ₱100. A war in the Strait of Hormuz just updated your receipt.

Cucurella Promised the Tattoo. Yamal the Beard. The Chicken Is Taking Notes.

Cucurella promised a tattoo of Spain boss Luis de la Fuente on his bicep if Spain win the final. Yamal promised a full beard for three weeks. Mr. Chicken has questions.

The Whistle Blew. Bellingham Wasn't Done. The Banner Wasn't The Only Statement.

Bellingham slapped Barco post-whistle. Fans brawled outside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. FIFA opened a probe over the Falklands banner. Three stories, one night.

The Apple Doesn't Fall Far from the Subpoena

The VP's bank records are in hiding. So are her witnesses. The Senate, unbothered, is subpoenaing anyway. This is the system functioning as intended.

One Hour Early. Just In Case.

The Binibining Pilipinas parade pushed through Typhoon Inday while 514,700 Filipinos were displaced by the same storm. We moved it up an hour and called it practical.

The World Bank gave the Philippines an upper-middle-income certificate on July 1. By July 9, Typhoon Inday had Manila underwater. The math checks out.

We declared a state of national energy emergency. The pump still says P1.21 more. Mr. Chicken is at the pump with a calculator and an empty wallet.

He Hid in the Senate for Four Days. They Made Him Its President.

The ICC wants Bato dela Rosa for crimes against humanity. The Philippine Senate wants him for president. This is not a paradox. This is Tuesday.

The Getaway

The PNP escorted Bato dela Rosa from the Senate just as the ICC came calling. The institution took care of its own. The van doesn't need jurisdiction. The van just drives.

Senator Bato Was Always Going to Run

The man who built the body count is running from the count. The ICC warrant doesn't negotiate.

A Spiral Is Just a Loading Screen That Lasts Forever

Pope Leo XIV called AI and weapons a spiral of annihilation. Nobody in tech was listening. The spiral kept loading. Progress.

We Funded the Future. The Future Is in a Puddle.

SoftBank made $46B on AI. Waymo recalled 3,800 robotaxis for driving into puddles. The gap between these two facts is where the billions live.

The Rocket Was Chinese. The Jellyfish Was Ours.

PhilSA called it orbital debris. Filipinos called it a jellyfish. Only one was technically accurate. Only one was right.

The Senate Had Gunshots. The Statement Had Regrets.

The President didn't order it. Nobody did. A gun fired itself inside the Senate. The building is fine. It has always been fine.

Every AI Company Is Losing Money. They Call It Strategy.

OpenAI loses $1.35 for every dollar earned. Their competitors said hold my beer and started losing more.

The Trial Is Pending. The Judge Has Been Replaced.

The Senate was supposed to hold Sara Duterte’s trial. Instead it held an internal election. Someone changed the judge. The gavel hasn’t dropped yet.

The Math Works Out. You Are The Variable.

Big Tech chose $725 billion in GPUs over 80,000 workers. Four million Filipino BPO employees are watching the math tip.

Two Hundred Fifteen

The House voted 215-0 to impeach VP Sara Duterte. They only needed 106. That's not governance — that's a statement.

The Lawyers Aren't Quitting. They're Evacuating.

Duterte's ICC defense team is walking out before the trial begins. When your lawyers bail pre-fight, that's not a reset — that's a verdict.

Chair of the Party. Last at the Table.

Philippines chaired the ASEAN Summit in Cebu the same week it posted 2.8% GDP growth — ASEAN's lowest, slowest in five years. We threw the party. We forgot to eat first.

Nice Itinerary. The First City Is The Hague.

215 lawmakers advanced her impeachment articles. Sara Duterte booked a 13-day trip. The first stop is The Hague. We're sure it's a coincidence.

Seventeen Thousand Guns, One Banca

Seven foreign navies showed up to defend Filipino waters from China. The fisherman just wants his yellowfin. The fish want to know why there are so many boats.

The Box Is Sealed. The Trial Has Begun.

The House voted to impeach Sara Duterte. They also voted not to open the evidence. The box is sealed. The trial has begun.

The Guest List

Marcos declared a fuel emergency. The solution is P10 per liter — if you have an LTFRB cert, a valid franchise, an approved corridor, and a cooperative that survived the phase-out.

The Job Fair Is Hiring. The Job Fair Cannot Afford You.

Two hundred thousand vacancies. Workers at Mendiola. The government is very excited about the booths. The brochure doesn't have a tab for the gap.

New Benefits. Same Math.

PhilHealth triples maternity benefits today. The gap between ₱29,000 covered and ₱148,500 billed is still very much there. We do the math.

RSVP: No

Sara Duterte skipped the Day 4 probable-cause vote of her own impeachment hearing. An empty chair that says everything.

The Price Dropped. They Still Declared an Emergency.

Marcos declared a national energy emergency the same day diesel dropped P12.94/liter. The document exists now. The crisis was months ago.

The Trial Will Happen. The Point Won't.

Sara Duterte's impeachment case will reach trial. But by then, the point won't be the point anymore.
