STATEMENT OF THE COMMANDANT, PHILIPPINE COAST GUARD, ADMIRAL RONNIE GIL GAVAN Together with the NTF WPS, the PCG condemns, once again, CCG’s unprovoked acts of coercion and dangerous maneuvers against a legitimate and routine Philippine rotation and resupply mission to Ayungin Shoal, that has put the lives of our personnel at risk. The systematic and consistent manner in which the CCG vessels do not align with the universally accepted behavior of a coast guard. Ironically, they are supposed to ensure safety of life at sea, but they are the one that deliberately violate the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 that the People’s Republic of China is also a signatory state. The dangerous maneuvering of the CCG vessels are illegal and irresponsible actions that puts into question and significant doubt their narrative of law enforcement and their real identity as a coast guard organization. The PCG, on the other hand, has acted responsibly, consistent with a rules based international law, that aligns with the regional norm among the coast guard organizations in the region. Our PCG skippers made sure that despite the reckless deployment of the CCG, we can still be able to prevent from collision happening. And despite their provocative actions of deliberately preventing our vessels from completing the mission, the PCG has maintained their professional behavior and ensure that our firm resolve will not be triggered to escalate the tension.

We have submitted to the ICC this video wherein Duterte publicly admitted that he used the Confidential/Intelligence funds to conduct EJKs on his constituents in Davao city when he was still a mayor. This is truly an open-and-shut case.

@iMPACTPH2019 Patayan nanaman? Mga berdugo walang alam kundi pumatay. Manahimik kana jan, tapos na turn mo. Inaantay ka na ng ICC.

What Congress did in removing the confidential funds of VP Sara is a bold and courageous move. Now, Duterte just came out trying to bully people into submission again. Hold your ground! ICC lang katapat nyan, magtatago ulit yan sa kulambo nya.

Huwag sanang matakot ang Kongreso sa patuloy nitong pagbusisi sa confi/intel funds ng OVP. Spending 125M in just 11 days is a glaring red flag, not to mention the questionable constitutionality of the fund transfer from the OP to OVP.

China installed floating barriers in the southeast portion of Bajo de Masinloc (Scarborough) Shoal in the West Philippine Sea, preventing Filipino fishing boats from entering the shoal and depriving them to do fishing activities, PH Coast Guard says 📸PCG

A fisherman took advantage of a stand-off between BFAR’s BRP Datu Bankaw and China Coast Guard ship 3105 near the entrance of Scarborough Shoal and attempted to enter the shoal. He was promptly intercepted and chased away by China Coast Guard ribs. Report later on @24OrasGMA

Can anybody from the Senate media ask Sen. Padilla what is the basis of his statement that we lost Scarborough during PNoy admin? Because these are the facts: 1. There are no Chinese ships INSIDE Scarborough shoal. 2. There is no Chinese reclamation or base on Scarborough shoal. Simply put, there is no physical occupation by China on Scarborough. The media can verify and confirm these facts with the Ph Navy and PCG. 3. The Philippine Baselines Law, which I principally authored, is the official Ph claim for Scarborough Shoal and the KIG. Our claims were acknowledged as compliant when the baseline coordinates and regime of islands claims as stated in the said law were formally submitted to the UNCLOS secretariat in 2009. 4. The Arbitral Tribunal ruling in 2016 debunked the 9-dash line claim of Ch over Scarborough Shoal and the Spratlys. Therefore, Ph has a much stronger legal claim over Scarborough than Ch. So, if there is no physical occupation by Ch and there are much stronger legal Ph claims, what is now the basis of this oft repeated lie that we lost Scarborough during PNoy admin? WALA! When I researched on this, the first person who said that we lost Scarborough without any factual and legal basis at all is Mr. Harry Roque (paulit-ulit ding sinabi ito ni Duterte during the 2016 campaign and thereafter). So, as then Chairman of the Committee on National Defense and Security, I conducted hearings in 2013 and 2015 where I asked the Ph Defense officials then if we indeed lose Scarborough and they categorically said: "NO, WE DID NOT LOSE SCARBOROUGH." I even invited Mr. Roque in the 2015 hearing so that he could hear it himself. (See video below) These are all in the Senate records. To the Ph media, next time a resource person says that we lost Scarborough during the PNoy admin, can you ask that person what is his basis for saying so? I assure you, hindi nya masasagot ito. Kasi nga walang basehan. You need to ask this because every time a Filipino resource person says this baseless statement, he is not only unwittingly weakening our position as regards Scarborough but also basically conceding our sovereignty to Ch. Such would be a very unpatriotic thing to do. Finally, to Senator Robin Padilla, my unsolicited advice sayo ay magresearch o magtanong sa iyong mga advisers o staff bago magsalita tungkol sa mga importanteng bagay. Bilang isang halal na Senador, ikaw ay kumakatawan di lang ng pula o green, kundi kasama na rin ang mga yellow, pink at ang mga hindi bumoto sayo. Senador ka naming lahat na Pilipino.

Incredible turn of events at a news conference organized by the NTF-ELCAC, who earlier claimed that the two girls “surrendered” to authorities.

Although the transportation department has the pedestrian-friendly EDSA Greenways project and more bike lanes lined up next year, its total budget for active transportation continues to shrink. trib.al/P68qgFf

National examination para mag-qualify sa free tuition? Kalokohan 'yan. Bukod sa dagdag gastos din yang plano na 'yan, naniniwala tayo na lahat ng kabataan, DESERVE ang libreng edukasyon. 'Yun ang dahilan kung bakit natin ipinaglaban ang batas para sa LIBRENG KOLEHIYO.

NAHULING NAGPAPALUSOT SA RECITATION 🤥🤥🤥 Ukol sa isyung 'unfilled positions' sa ilalim ng DOH, tinanong ni ACT Teachers Partylist Rep. France Castro kung may balak ba ang departamento na ilipat sa 'plantilla positions' ang mga 'job order' o kontraktwal na nurse. (1/4)

@MoveAsOnePH After visiting The Netherlands, the best they can offer are Shared Lanes? May pa-best practices pa silang nalalaman. Baka junket?

@rapplerdotcom If MMDA is true to its intent when it visited, TOGETHER WITH OTHER LCEs in European cities last time, they cud have acted swiftly, concretely for the betterment of our bike lanes. What's the hold up for the Active Transport Infra Improvement for EDSA?

Cyclists will soon have a better time going around Intramuros as the DOTr has held the groundbreaking for the construction of bike lanes in the area. metromanila.politics.com.ph/2023/03/30/dot… #MetroManilaNews @DOTrPH

LOOK: Intramuros is set to add around 9.6 kilometers of bike lanes and pedestrian walkways with accessibility ramps, and four PUV stops by the fourth quarter of 2023. Here's a visualization of the projects planned. | via @lanceyu_

The Intramuros area will be more walkable & bikeable soon, which will not only improve tourism but also make these historical sites more accessible & intimate for everyone. It's all about putting people first! We would like to extend our gratitude to the DOTr for inviting us. 💓
