Harry Roque Calls for People Power: 'Let Sarah Lead Now!'

Kaya kayo, huwag na kayong paupo-upo dyan. Don't just comment on it. We need to allow Paid to become a people power. We need to get rid of the tyrants who will not give solutions to our problems now. Because it is the biggest problem of the country. How are we going to get a solution to the poverty at the end of the Yellow Line? Before the Yellow Line explodes, it will be really hard. Life will be really hard because there is no one to help. Tapos kayo, magre-reklamo kayo. Nasa inyong kapangyarihan. Nasa ating saligang batas. Ang people power. Kahit anong takot. Kahit anong takot ang gawin niso sa inyo. Talagang nakapukik yan sa ating kasaysayan. Karapatan na ng taong bayang mag-people power. Ano pa ang inaantay ninyo? Inaantay nyo pang lumalapa ang putukan sa kitang silangan at maging 200 pesos sa... Aperaliter na ang gasolina. Pwede pong mangyari yan. Dahil pag nasarado ang Strait of Homos, wala nang dadaan na tangis papunta sa atin. Titigil ang lahat. Mamamatay ang ekromiya. Saan tayo pupulutin? Samantalang ang ating Presidente. Anong sabi niya doon sa video?
[14:26]
Gaya natin sinabi sa video. Diba? Tapos meron pang tubig-tubig. na ang pambayad, pera ninyo. O ano, hindi
[14:36]
pa kayo gagalaw. Ay naku, baala na kayo. Basta ako, hindi po nagkulang ha. Sinasabi ko, pag di pa kayo gumalaw, at sa tindi ng haharapin natin, dahil dito sa p**o ko sa gitang silangan, eh talagang baka hindi na tayo makaabot ng 2028. So kung iniisip nyo, ihahan lang nyo pa si Inday Sanon Tetes 2028, baka that will be too late. Dapat ngayon na, let Sarah lead now, not in 2028. Because we really voted for him to become president if the president can't do it. And obviously, the president can't do it because he didn't do anything but bite his head off. Okay, my high blood pressure is too high. I'm sorry. You know, it's necessary. Really, get up when you've already done it. People's power is not illegal, okay? Thank you very much. This is the Spokesman of the Nation, Harry Roque, saying, I love you Philippines. the only country that i have the only country that i love god bless the philippines bye

Why People Power is Necessary Now

Alam niyo, hindi na ako magpapasupik-supik. Lahat ang boboto sa impeachment, pupulutin kayo sa kangkungan. Kung hindi sa eleksyon, sa buhay niyong pang-araw-araw. Wala na kayong pag-asa makabangon pag kayo'y sumuporta pa ng impeachment. Kasama kayo ni Marcos Jr., s**a rin kayo ang mga labas ninyo. Isus**a kayo ng taong bayan. Wala na pa sumpik-sumpik. Sige, ito lang impeachment. Lahat ang boboto sa impeachment, makatikim kung Paano sila is**a ng taong bayan? Diba? Magsama kayo ng mga bangad. Palibasa siguro, ang mga mabibenta ng kanila, mga botong, mga tonggrisman at mga sinatong, eh pare-pareho din kayong mga bangad. Kaya meron kayong fraternity of the bangad. Diba? Eh wag pa ba't mainit ang ulo ko ngayon. Normally, di naman mailit ang ulo ko ngayon. Pero nagubuisit na po ako talaga. Dahil habang ang buong mundo, ang inaatupad, How can their fellowmen, how can they overcome the hardship of continuing to raise the prices of goods because of the hit in the Middle East? The voices of our congressmen are being pushed by politics to make sure that they can really beat Inday Sara Duterte. Is that a job for a smart person? And not only are they congressmen, they are also in the government, Ang bagag na presidente dahil siya naman talaga nag-utos, tanggalin niya yan. Ang sabi na aking confidential information, ang bilid talaga niya. Pag may nangyari daw sa kanya, at ito'y bago pa magsalita si Inday Sara, siguraduhin, hindi magiging presidente si Inday Sara. Kasama na kung kinakailangan siyang patayin. Di ba? S**a talaga ng bayan. Ngayon magtataka ka kung bakit negative ka sa approval na trust. S**a ka kasi ikaw ang salot. Ikaw ang problema ng bayan. Lumayas ka na. Umalis ka na dyan sa posisyon mo. Mahiya ka. Ako talaga, pag ako nakakuha ng trust rating na negative at approval rating, ay naku, resign na. Sa Japan na, meron pang mga tradisyon. Ayaw ko lang sabihin yan kasi baka ma'am niya, ma-community standard tayo. Pero sa Japan, hindi talaga tatanggapin niya ng mga sinus**ang mga politiko. May ginagawa sila sa kanila mga sarili. Bakit hindi mo pagayahin ng mga Japon? I didn't say what they're saying. You can't report me. You can't report me because our voices are loud on the internet. That's right. The problem is, listen to what I'm saying. Listen to what I'm saying. You can't move. You really need to do your duty as the people of the country. People power the people if they don't want to leave. Right? Oh my God, people of the country. What are you waiting for? Especially with the increasing problems in the Middle East, if it will last long, oh no, we will not have a 2020. Because it is really unprecedented.

Survey Shock: Why the Public is 'Vomiting' Current Leadership

The Filipinos have really measured Bangag. See? What did PAS Asia say? PAS Asia is the one I trust the most in all survey firms. They really don't pay for it. What did they measure? They measured, first of all, approval. What is Bangag's approval? Its approval is only 36%. His disapproval is 45. Look at that. It means that he is negative when it comes to approval. Compare that to Inday Sara. His approval is 55. And Inday Sara's rating is 54. Let's repeat, I might have read it wrong. Bangag has 36% approval, 45% disapproval. More disapproves. How much is that? 36 less 45. What is that? Negative what? JR, 36 less 45. While his trust rating stands at 35, and 44 is distrust. So, negative 9. The approval rating of Bangag and its trust rating is 35 less 44 is again negative 35 less 44. How much is that? You know it. It's still 9. Its trust rating is still negative 9. Why can't we say that it's already been approved? The trust and approval rating is negative 9. Wala na nagtitiwala sa iyo. Wala na naniniwala sa iyo. Kumpara naman natin kay BP Sara. Ang BP Sara niya, 55% approval, 54% trust. Karamihan ng Pilipino, dahil 55 and 54, more than half, e nagtitiwala at nag-a-approve pa rin kay Inday Sara Duterte. Ano ibig sabihin niyan? na negative na ang iyong approval at negative at trust rating. Wala ka ng karapatang mamuno, bangag. Wala na nagtitiwala sa iyo. Wala na natutuwa sa iyo. Sinus**a ka na. At kayong mga dilawan at pinklawan na nakikipagsambuatan kay bangag, kains**a talaga kayo. Dahil negative approval, negative trust rating ang bangag, You are still fighting. You are still making alliances. You are eating vinegar. Bangag is vinegar. Is that clear? Why won't the trust and approval of Bangag be negative?

I mean, If you look at the total number of OFWs in the Middle East, it's 2.4 million. And even if you say only 1% of it will be returned, that is a financial nightmare for us. I was telling you last time that the budget of the DMW will be reduced. Have you addressed that, sir? Yeah, of course, since day one, the cabinet meeting was called, and one of the things mentioned there, we asked the president of SEC, Rolly, Toledo, and NBBM to look at the budget, the resources, financial resources. Yes, yes, of course, so now we can manage. Since the beginning of the year, we have enough budget. The president increased, for instance, the action fund. And we're thankful, of course, also to the senators and the congressmen. But sufficient for now. But we are also bracing for, as we move along, a budget that will sustain us. And we also know, we also know that the legislators, the congressmen and the senators are very interested in knowing how they could help in terms of resources. So we're also... open to and we already are cooperating with Congress on this matter. Of course, in close coordination with the President through the Department of Budget and Management. Sec, before we let you go, can you get an update regarding the missing sailor, George Miranda? Is there a missing sailor in the Strait of Hormuz? What's the latest order? unfortunately it was such a a very strong attack, very hard attack on the on the tugboat they were trying to help another ship um so we're hoping no we're hoping um one way or another. But in the meantime, of course, the directive of the president is to take care of the family. So since day one, the report has been released. Advin and I, our teams have already reached out to where the family is. And we will reach out to them as we speak. So rest assured, we will take care of the family. But in the meantime, as we await the news. So sadly, we haven't seen him yet. But what I can say is that there were two ships, tankers attacked in the Strait

Okay. Let's talk about, Secretary, the arrival here at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. What happens then to those who are returning? What are our arrangements there? When they arrive, we were there with Admin T.Y. Kaunan and OWA in terms of financial assistance. And not only that, the whole government team that the President raised since day one when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023. It's still there. The team of Sec. Tedder Bosa, Usec. Gloria Balboa, and the teams, including the National Center for Mental Health, it's complete, right? And then there's the DSWD, the team of Sec. Rex Quetzal, the Angels in Red, the so-called social workers, they're also there. There's also financial assistance given by Sec. Rex. and then, meron din yung of course yung airport teams OTR, SecBanoi, and NNIC, Sir Ramon Ang, nandiyo din sila present and I would also mention yung sa local employment. Kasi ang gagalawan naman nila una employment dito muna for them available jobs locally. So, nandiyo ng DOLE SecBene, Leguesma, and the DOLE. And then, kami, lalatagan din namin sila ng mga job orders for abroad. Job fairs are all in store for them. And then, for livelihoods, I met with Sec. Chris Roque one day. And there are offerings for livelihood programs. I want to mention jobs for women workers because it's women's month now. So, for programs, capital, helping capital for female entrepreneurs. That's just one example. DOT, the Department of Tourism also has their programs to set up tourist related business like Airbnbs and gift shops. And then, the training is done by SecTico. Yes, it's a test. They give free test vouchers. So, when our financial assistance comes in, while they're doing the training with Tesla or setting up a test or looking for a job. That's the game plan and that's been directed by the President since day one of this crisis. Very good. That's very good news. One little detail. How will the people who will return to the distant provinces? Will there be temporary accommodation? Good question. I just forgot because Admin P.Y. told me. Admin P.Y. told me earlier that Admin P.Y. and I went to a hotel We're thankful for that hotel because it's been a temporary accommodation for OWA for a long time. So we went there, we saw at least the Mindanao group that arrived last Sunday. So in other words, OWA brings them to temporary accommodation as their domestic flights are arranged.

For now, we are working on charter flights. And as I said, land crossings and flights out of Qatar. There are also commercial flights out of Dubai. So we also book tickets of some of the ORFWs in those flights. And so it's continuous. With the charter flights and the potential who could still come home, we are still arranging for around 1,000 or so that potentially could come home. Okay. So we can expect that this coming week, we will have more Filipinos being repatriated. Maybe from the UAE, from Saudi Arabia. Those two countries. We're still in the middle of things. We understand. This is not simple. It's a logistical nightmare. Those by-land, going to where the flight of our fellow countrymen will start, Should we answer that? Should the government answer that? Yes, let's answer that together with our embassies. So we're thankful to Sec. Lazaro and the ambassadors on the ground. The directives of our president, if it's safe, then let's do it. So we cross them over. We have teams bringing them from the meeting point. I don't know where, but the meeting point. And then they will be taken to the land crossing. If it's safe, We will have teams there to process them. Of course, the FAA has them ready with their immigration documents, passports, etc. Our teams will accompany them to itawin. And there will be a salubong team there on the other side. From there, from the salubong side, they will be taken to an airport. They will be accommodated, temporary accommodation, until they can fly home. As far as I know, I haven't mentioned Lebanon. Except for Israel, but for Jordan and Lebanon, there is also some limited air activity there. Okay. So we have flown home about less than 100 thus far in Lebanon. Lebanon, and it's also included with Amman, Jordan, right? Yes, Jordan too. Yes, yes, that's right. Okay. So far, that's our mode. And also, you're right, Sir Danny, the effort is still ongoing when it comes to Jordan and Lebanon. Okay. Let's talk about, Secretary, the arrival here at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. What happens then to those who are returning? What are our arrangements there? When they arrive, we were there with Admin T.Y. Kaunan and OWA in terms of financial assistance. And not only that, the whole government team that the President raised since day one when Hamas invaded Israel on October 7, 2023. It's still there. The team of Sec. Tedder Bosa, Usec.

But in Saudi, I think I need to explain the trend ways in which we repatriate. So there are the land crossings, right? And we're speaking of seven countries. Seven countries in the Gulf states and the so-called Levant, which is Israel, Syria, I'm sorry, Israel, Lebanon, and Jordan. where every land crossing is located. And those land crossings, especially in Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain, come out of Saudi Arabia. And UAE can move it to Oman. But our charter flights from UAE flew out of the UAE. But Saudi included Kuwait and Bahraini OFWs that crossed over into Saudi, eastern Saudi. Okay. That's the way it works. Many moving parts. This conflict is quite different from all the others. Many moving parts in the repatriation efforts. For clarity, Secretary, you said there are seven countries involving land crossing. The airspace they are using for now, where they emanate, is from Saudi Arabia and UAE in Dubai, right? There is Saudi and UAE. Oman is another option if they get to cross from UAE to Oman. And if they get to cross from Qatar to Saudi, yes, Saudi, or Bahrain-Saudi, Kuwait-Saudi, yes, it's Saudi. But QR, as I mentioned, Qatar Airways, is opening on a limited basis. And so far, we have flown from Qatar. It's around 100 from Qatar. For now, we can say, I know that there are a lot of our countrymen in the UAE, in Dubai, and there are a lot of land crossings. Is our airspace in Dubai and Abu Dhabi normal? Can they be used? Do we no longer need to charter flights? Yes. By the way, I forgot to mention Israel. In Israel, we can cross over to Egypt. Okay. And we fly them out of Cairo. Some are already away from Egypt to Cairo. Okay. Yes, yes. Okay, airspace. Airspace, UAE is perhaps the most open airspace, but still on a limited basis. It's basically, for us, the UAE Airlines. QR, also open, but on a limited basis. And all the others, Sarado Maho, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Israel. Sarado Maho. Secretary... In Lebanon, by the way, in Jordan, we also have managed to repatriate. From Iran? Jordan and Lebanon. From Iran, we don't have a migrant workers office, but the DFA has managed to bring in 10 thus far.

Simula nung una hanggang sa umalis na siya sa pwesto. Ngayon po kasi nasa 8.5 trillion na po ang utang ng Pilipinas. 18, 18 pala. 18.5. Ano po bang pinaka matinding dahilan ng isang administration na para umutang siya ng ganito kalaki ngayon, katulad nitong nangyayari sa bansa natin? Well, noong panahon po ni Presidente Duterte, dahil may pangangailangan ng taong bayan, sila, umutang sila dahil gusto nilang kurakutin. Nakita naman natin, no, kung magkano yung na-deliver na mga Marines doon sa mga congressman, mga senatong, at dyan mismo sa Malacanang. 805 billion ang kanilang i-deliver. Yung sinasabi ni Zandico, $100. ang insertion at nag-deliver siya ng 25 billion dyan mismo sa presidente nating bangag. Obviously po, umuutang sila para ibulsa nga mga pera na nautang pero tayong mga Pilipino ang magbabayad. Alam niyo po, ginawa rin niya ng ama niya. Kaya siyempre, kung anong puno, yan din ang bunga. Kung naalala niyo, nagpatayo ng nuclear plant yung Marcos Sr. inutang, pinabayad sa mga Pilipino pero ang komisyon napunta sa kanya at dun sa kanyang crony na si Herminio de Sini. So, nauulit lang po ang kasaysayan, ang pangungutang na limpak-limpak na sa lapi, binubulsa ng mga hinayupak sa gobyerno ngayon. Ayaw niya bang mabawasan? Sa totoo lang, ang tingin ko, wala siya sa lucid interval. Alam mo yung lucid interval... Technical term yan, legal term, na wala sa tamang pag-iisip. So sa tingin ko, matindi na yung pagsisingkot niya ng pulburon na hindi na niya nalalaman kung ano nangyayari sa kanyang paligid. He is not in touch with the reality anymore. Wala siya sa lucid moment. Wala siyang lucid interval. Nasa sariling mundo. Kaya habang lahat ng ating mga karating bansa ay nagkukumahog na iuwi ang kanilang mga kababayan, si Marcos Jr. ang masasabi lang niya, magtago na muna kayo dyan at maging ligtas. Kasi parang ang lumabas nung nakaraan, imbis na tulungan para mapaupin ang Filipino, nag-report lang siya sa mga kababayan natin. Para siyang reporter. Oo nga, e, ewan ko ba, ang reporter pa, buti yung mga reporter dyan, gano'ng reporter ng SMNI, hindi binabasa ang report, siya nagbabasa pa ng teleprompter. Magre-report na nga lang, naka-teleprompter pa. Anong take nyo dito sa mga ex-marine na ito? Kayo, abugado kayo, alam nyo kung ang isang tao nagsisinungaling o ano. Dito sa mga sundalo na ito, ano po ang take nyo? Well, unang-una, mga sundalo yan. Whether active or hindi sundalo yan. Yan ay mga tao na inalay na talagang buhay para sa paninilbihan sa ating bayan. So, bigyan naman natin sila ng respeto na hindi yan magsisinungaling. Pangalawa, yung mga siniwalat naman nila ay kumpleto ng mga emidensya. May mga larawan, may mga eroplano, alam natin ang serial number ng eroplano, alam natin ang serial number ng mga helikopters, nandyan ang mga adreses. Lahat yan, pwede talagang ma-verify kung magkakaroon talaga na honest to goodness na kagustuhan na imbestigahan yung kanilang mga paratang. Pero ngayon, nagkakaroon nga ng imbestigasyon, hindi doon sa katotohanan ang sinabi ng mga Marines na ito. Kung hindi, para litisin at ipakulong itong mga Marines na ito dahil sila nga ay nagsisiwalat ng katotohanan. Yan ang pong nangyari ngayon sa ating bayan. Yung mga nagsasabi ng katotohanan, ang siyang susupilin ang kanilang karapatan para malahit pa na nalita dahil nais silang pagtakba ng katotohanan na talagang super duper corrupt na itong gobyerno nito at wala nang karapatan na manatili sa gobyerno.

Duterte vs Marcos: Sino ang tunay na may malasakit sa mga OFW
Unang-una, wala pong kamot-ulo si Presidente Duterte. Kapag may nangyari, ang prioridad ang mga Pilipino. Wala siyang pakialam kung saan kukuli ng pera. Pero nung tayo yung sinalanta ng COVID, ang sabi niya, kumuha ng aeroplano. Lahat ng mga Pilipinong mga magagawa sa abroad, pa-OEN, dahil alam ko, wala naman sila magagawa dun sa mga iba't ibang bansa kung naroon sila. So wala po yung saradong airspace, wala po yung saan kukuha ng pera. Ang sabi niya, market ng pera. Ibalik dito, mga OFW, dahil mga OFW, yan ang dahilan kung bakit lumulutang ang ate ekonomiya, no? napakalaking pagbabago po yan doon sa isang tao na malinaw ang pag-iisip at merong tunay na pagmamahal sa bayan na yan po ay si Rodrigo Roma Duterte at doon sa isang vangag na hindi talaga alam ang gagawin at wala sa tamang pag-iisip. Atty. J. Guevara nga po pala. Ano po, total na pag-usapan na yung COVID. Regarding dito sa mga kababayan natin dyan sa Middle East, no? Kung halimbawa, si Pangulong Duterte pa ang presidente, kasi parang blinded sila ngayon, di alam ang gagawin eh. Kung alimbawa si Pangulong Duterte, sa tingin nyo, ano kaya yung pinakamabilis na aksyon para matulungan ang ating mga kababayan niya sa Middle East? Unang-una tatawagan niya si Lucio Tan. Lucio, kailangan ko yung aeroplano, ibabalik natin ang mga Pilipino natin. Ganon kadali naman yun eh. Magbabayad ang gobyerno, kung bahala dyan, okay, paliparin mo yan. Tapos kung sasabihin nila na saradong airspace, humanap ng Karatek Airport ng bukas dahil meron mga bukas dyan at kumuha ng mga bus at dalhin yung mga Pilipino doon sa bukas na airport ng SEMA kauwi. Pero dito po talaga, ang nakita nyo naman ng gawain nitong administrasyon neto, palibasa, busy pagsisingkot ng kono-ano, hanggang ngayon, nandoon, nagaantay ang mga Pilipino at ang nakakahiya, ang matungutulong pa, yung mga karating bansa natin gaya ng Singapore na sila na nagsasakay sa mga Pilipino para makauwi. Hindi ko mangyayari yan sa panahon ni Duterte. Ayan, idea na po yun para sa gobyerno na pupwede nilang gawin yun. Pero eto, may tanong lang ako sa inyo, Atty., Kasi noong unang blow ng itong problema dyan sa Middle East, may mga media kasi na parang nag-credit grabbing nitong mga pagpapauwi ng ating mga OFW na keso. Ito ay inisiyatiba ng gobyerno. Pero yun daw po ay tulong ng gobyerno ng Middle East. So nabulgar po yan dito. Binulgar po ng isang OFW na na tulungan galing sa Middle East. Ano po ang reaksyon ni Don? Eh talaga, ma'am, bubudol naman talaga itong Marcos na ito. Kaya naman naging presidente yan. Budol king talaga yan. Kala natin, eh, sasalba niya ang imaheng ng kanyang pangalan. Pamilang Marcos, pero hindi. Mas matindi pa pala. At least yung ama niya, walang bisyo. Siya may bisyo. Pero nabalitaan ko nga yan, nakakahiya po yan na wala nang ang ginawa para sa mga OFW.
