“People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!”
These are few of the gripping words spoken by the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, addressing the United Nations Climate Action Summit on Monday.

On Committee Report No. 30
House Joint Resolution No. 19: Extending the Availability of the 2019 Appropriations for Maintenance And Other Operating Expenses and Capital Outlay to December 31, 2020
25 September 2019 | Plenary Hall
Mr. Speaker,
I wish to thank the House Committee on Appropriations for taking the time to consider House Joint Resolution No. 9, which seeks to extend the availability of the 2019 appropriations for Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses (MOOE) and Capital Outlay (CO) […]
This very occasion that we are marking today, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Resilience Institute, is an example of how slow the budget cycle can take. We have long enacted the budget for this project, yet we are witnessing the actual physical manifestation of the implementation of this very important project only today. But discourse on this perennial concern can be had at another time, for today is a joyous occasion.
Ang mga dialogue tulad nito ay patunay na hindi natitigil sa apat na sulok ng silid-paaralan ang ating pagtataguyod sa edukasyon. Matatagpuan ang kaalaman kahit sa labas nito, salamat sa mga eksperto at bihasa na handang tumulong at magbahagi ng kanilang mga karanasan.
Ang mga dialogue din tulad nito ang nagbibigay-daan upang umusbong sa ating mga mag-aaral ang interes na mag-aral ng siyensiya, naghihikayat na tahakin ang larangan na ito at maging siyentipiko at akademiko.
As the former Chair of the Senate Committee on Finance, I introduced a special provision in this year’s General Appropriations Act that ensures that local development plans are formulated based on a comprehensive consultation among the local development council, the local peace and order council, and the local disaster risk reduction management council, along with other local sectoral councils/committees.
By emphasizing the important role of the local development councils, the coordination and relationship among local and provincial offices and agencies are strengthened, which are the keys to achieving inclusive, equitable, resilient and sustainable development not only for our province, but also for the entire nation.
Hindi lingid sa ating kaalaman ang patuloy na pagbabago sa ating klima at paglaki ng ating problema sa kalikasan.
Ang hindi wastong pagtapon ng mga basura ay isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan kung bakit laganap ang polusyon, hindi lamang sa ating probinsya, kung hindi pati na rin sa buong bansa.
Today, I stand by the Youth Strike for Climate Philippines — united with the youths all over the world in the Global Climate Strike, and with its demand for ambitious and faster climate action.
The climate emergency is unequivocal. And the only fitting response is to change our ways — from our way of thinking and living, to our way of pursuing development.
Binabati ko ang mga school head, guro, PTA official, local government unit representative, at mga pribadong kumpanya, non-government organization, at iba pang katuwang ng Kagawaran ng Edukasyon o DepEd.
Ipinagdiriwang natin ngayong araw ang tagumpay ng ating kolektibong pagkilos upang mapabuti ang lagay ng mga mag-aaral sa probinsya. Sa ating sama-samang paglilinis at pag-aayos ng mga silid-aralan, maginhawang sinalubong ng mga kabataang Antiqueño ang bagong pang-akademikong taon.
Bilang inyong Congresswoman, prioridad ko ang pagpapanatili ng kapayapaan at kaayusan sa Antique. Nagsusumikap ang inyong lingkod upang masiguro ang seguridad sa ating probinsya.
Bilang dating Chair ng Senate Committee on Finance, binigyan natin ng suporta ang Antique Provincial Police Office sa kanilang mga pangangailangan sa equipment tulad ng multi-media CCTV at motorbanca para makatulong sa pagpapatrolya ng ating kapaligiran. Dinagdagan din natin ang pondo para sa mga operational expenses ng mga police station, tulad ng gasoline expenses, office supplies at iba pa.
Hindi malilimutan ng bawat lider sa lipunan ang kanyang Araw ng Panunumpa, dahil ito ay nagpapahiwatig ng isang simula: ang misyon na maglingkod sa kanyang kapwa at sa kanyang komunidad.
Isang malaking karangalan at responsibilidad ang mahalal sa katungkulan. Ibinibigay nito sa lider ang kapangyarihan na magdesisyon para sa ikakabuti ng kanyang kapwa at pamayanan.
