NOW: Rappler’s @piaranada talks with political scientist @CleveArguelles on what went wrong in presidential bet Isko Moreno’s campaign and how they can fix it. #PHVote#WeDecide
@piaranada@CleveArguelles .@CleveArguelles: When Isko declared his candidacy, they were trying to position him as a centrist alternative candidate who doesn’t want to be involved in partisan politics, who would rather focus on pandemic recovery and social services. There was a lot of potential there.
Marcos is in Cabanatuan, and will head to San Fernando, Pampanga later, part of a targeting of Central Luzon with 7.28 million voters or 11% of total voting population. Unlike Calabarzon, Marcos has wider comfort room here in CL, 66-13 vs Robredo in survey. | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Sky threatening to rain over Cabanatuan City, which just moments ago, was sweltering hot. Senatorial bets of Uniteam speaking at the moment. This Nueva Ecija visit is an avenging of sorts, last rally in province had an unimpressive crowd whereas Robredo gathered 50k. | @lianbuan
Senator Migz Zubiri, dropped earlier from Robredo slate, repeats here in Cabanatuan: Magkaisa na po tayo, tama na ang bangayan, hindi tulad ng ibang grupo panira nang panira. Sa darating na May 9, BBM na ang presidente. | via @lianbuan
JUST IN: Comelec Commissioner Rey Bulay recommends the temporary relief of Comelec spokesman James Jimenez and EID Director Frances Arabe from their media relation roles, due to their alleged role in debate debt fiasco. | via @newsdwight
@newsdwight But "to prevent disruption in their essential election operations," Bulay recommends that Jimenez and Arabe "continue other functions under the supervision of their committee heads." | via @newsdwight#PHVote#WeDecide

Bulay's task force also says it "found reasonable cause to commence a formal fact-finding and administrative disciplinary investigation." | via @newsdwight#PHVote#WeDecide
Asked if DOJ will consider motu proprio investigation into law enforcement who allegedly coerced Kerwin Espinosa, Justice Sec Menardo Guevarra shifts the scrutiny on Kerwin: "We will determine that when he faces perjury charges." | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan Will DOJ pursue perjury charges vs Kerwin? Guevarra says: "I will discuss this matter with the panel of prosecutors. whether or not his testimony is material to the prosecution’s cause, making false statements under oath is a criminal offense." | via @lianbuan
@lianbuan In 2017, when DOJ charged De Lima for 3 counts, it dismissed the complaint against De Lima and Kerwin Espinosa "for lack of merit." In that junked complaint, Kerwin says he paid De Lima through Dayan. Yet for the 2021 case vs Kerwin, the basis is again his Senate testimony.
#FactsFirstPH: As we approach the elections, we find an unlikely ally in combating disinformation online and encouraging civic participation – celebrity fan groups. Let’s take a look at how these fandoms mobilize. #PHVote
Today’s #FactsFirstPH research briefing highlights how fans turned to social media to criticize and demand action from celebrities based on the findings of Cherish Aileen A. Brillon and Gerard Martin C. Suarez. | via @rochelbernido
Brillon: Fans tayong lahat ng celebrities, ng pelikula, ng sports team, ng mga musikero o banda. Interesting for us to look at them in a different light. | via @rochelbernido
