Presidential candidate VP Leni Robredo is stepping into Pres Rodrigo Duterte’s home region Davao for the first time on the campaign trail today. Her supporters are currently holding a grand rally for her at the Davao del Sur Coliseum in Digos City. #PHVote @rapplerdotcom
Robredo will then be visiting Digos City Hall and visit Bishop Guillermo Afable at the Diocese of Digos, before heading on to Tagum City for a meet and greet w/ Davao del Norte Gov Edwin Jubahib and One Davao del Norte officials. #PHVote
It’s crucial for Robredo, the opposition leader vs Duterte, to woo voters in Davao. In the 2016 VP race, she lost in this region by a huge margin. Davaoeños went for Duterte’s running mate then, Alan Peter Cayetano. In 2nd place was Ferdinand Marcos Jr, Robredo a distant 3rd.

Before going to the rally in Digos, Robredo will be meeting with Davao del Sur Gov Marc Douglas Cagas IV at the capitol. #PHVote

We’re now here at the Davao del Norte Provincial Capitol, where Robredo is set to hold a press conference with Reporma president Bebot Alvarez following resignation of presidential bet Sen Ping Lacson as party chair. Official endorsement coming? #PHVote

Singapore Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan and Philippine Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo hold a joint presser in Manila. Singapore and the Philippines are celebrating 55 years of diplomatic ties this year. @straits_times Image
@straits_times Manalo: The Philippines and Singapore have always had a strong, robust and dynamic relationship with several high level visits already since the start of President Marcos' administration.
@straits_times Manalo: Singapore remains as one of the PH's most important trade and investment partners. Singapore was our eighth largest trading partner in 2023 and solidified its position as the sixth largest export market of the Philippines, and stood seventh as an import source.

Nobel laureate & Rappler CEO Maria Ressa holds back tears as she celebrates her court victory today. “Today, facts win, truth wins, justice wins,” adds her acquittal isn’t just for Rappler “but for every Filipino who has ever been unjustly accused.” @straits_times
@straits_times Read full story here: straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/p…
@straits_times Definitely a euphoric day for Ressa and Rappler, which drew former PH pres Rodrigo Duterte's ire for investigating his bloody drug war. Ressa has said the cases the Duterte govt filed against her and Rappler were politically motivated.

Senate Majority Leader Migz Zubiri says incoming Cabinet members of Pres-elect Ferdinand Marcos Jr. requested that the Commission on Appointments allow Marcos to appoint officials heading Comelec, COA, CSC by bypassing Pres Rodrigo Duterte's last-minute appointees @rapplerdotcom
@rapplerdotcom The confirmation hearing for these Duterte appointees were scheduled earlier today, but the CA deferred it again on Wednesday, the same day the Senate is to adjourn session.

Zubiri: I know for a fact that many members of the future Cabinet of President BBM asked me personally na kung puwede, ibigay na lang yung opportunity na yan sa ating bagong pangulo, which I think is a very reasonable request.

Senate Minority Leader Frank Drilon says draft blue ribbon panel report on Pharmally scandal, which has not been formally filed due to lack of signatures, is "not a waste of time," says it exposed anomalies that any sensible public official would avoid doing @rapplerdotcom
@rapplerdotcom Drilon: It is not certainly a waste of time because even if no committee report will be supported by the majority, then we exposed the anomalies, which I am sure has put people on notice that these should not be repeated.
@rapplerdotcom Drilon: In fact, example, where did that Pharmally start? They moved when Secretary Duque assigned P42 B of their budget to PS-DBM. Do you think any sensible public official would do the same thing and get exposed to the kalokohan in the PS-DBM?

VP Leni Robredo is back in Manila after spending the past 2 weeks in the US with her daughters Aika, Tricia & Jillian. Robredo, who’s term as VP ends by June 30, says she’s “enegized” and “ready to work again” after the longest vacation she’s had in the past decade @rapplerdotcom
Even during her vacation, Robredo notes things in New York she hopes would someday be replicated in the PH, like pedestrian & biker-friendly streets, convenient public transpo, parks everywhere, restored old buildings. Some of these were her in platform as presidential bet.
“Libreng mangarap at libre din pagtrabahuhan ang pangarap,” says Robredo.

Robredo is set to launch the country’s “biggest volunteer movement” via the Angat Buhay NGO on July 1, the day her term as VP ends.
