Senator Risa Hontiveros releases statement on NTF-ELCAC spokesperson Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr's warnings to Liza Soberano and Catriona Gray:

Lt. General Parlade, when you sat in front of me during your appointment hearing, you were like a lamb... | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: I gave you the benefit of the doubt during your promotion hearing because I believed that, just like my late husband Frank, you abide by the motto of the PMA: courage, integrity and loyalty... | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: Huwag mong gamitin ang kapangyarihan mo bilang heneral upang takutin at pagbantaan ang mga kababaihang ito. Your threats and harassment are unacceptable... | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: By silencing them, pinapalampas mo ang karahasan, panggagahasa at pangaabuso na nararansan ng napakaraming Pilipino. This is a shame to your rank and to the PMA. | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: I started as a young advocate for women’s rights, and married a military man and raised a family of 4 with him.

We betray the integrity of our military, and especially our women and children by allowing abuses of power like this to happen. | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: We will not forget this. Tatandaan ko ang lahat ng mga ito at paghandaan mo ang susunod natin paghaharap sa Commission on Appointments. Hindi ko ito kayang palampasin.

See you in the next round. | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: To Liza and Catriona: It is difficult and painful to be at the frontlines fighting beside persons oppressed by a norm that advocates rape, murder and exploitation. But every time you speak up, another girl becomes braver and another life is saved. | via @JCGotinga
@JCGotinga Hontiveros: I’m behind you every step of the way.

This is your constitutional right; don't be afraid. Patuloy niyo lang panindigan ang karapatan niyong magsalita. Kasama niyo ako at karamihan sa ating mamamayan. I salute and embrace you. | via @JCGotinga

Rappler's police reporter @ramboreports asks Colonel Angela Rejano about her trailblazing career, after she is appointed as the first-ever female chief of police in Metro Manila.

#RapplerTalk:
Rejano: Actually, [it’s] a bit challenging on my part, it’s my first time to be serving as chief of police here in [the] Malabon City police station, especially in the powerhouse of the PNP, the NCRPO.

#RapplerTalk:
Rejano: My capacity as the chief of police is so different from [my prior experiences].... Challenging dito kasi, iba ang dynamics ng crime prevention, law enforcement, and all the anti-criminality campaigns in Metro Manila.
