Biñan City LGU starts distribution of 'Pamaskong Handog'

After the natural calamities that hit Laguna province this year, it was the least the city government of Biñan, Laguna under Mayor Gel Alonte has in store for residents who desperately needed something to cheer on.

EARLY CHRISTMAS GIFT

This is just a diversionary tactic for propaganda purposes.

SMOKESCREEN?

Romualdez, safe?

Before the month even ended, the public was caught off-guard as Elizaldy Co, the  former House appropriations chair, has gone on record with explosive allegations, claiming that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. personally ordered some ₱100 billion worth of infrastructure projects to be inserted into the 2025 national budget.

Co bares all!

A grand design

Something troubling is taking shape around the so-called flood control scam — a pattern of actions and narratives that seem orchestrated to clear former Speaker Martin Romualdez, also known as “Tambaloslos,” of direct responsibility.

Is the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) becoming an ironic oxymoron?
When it was created in 1966 by virtue of Republic Act No. 4850, LLDA was tasked to “carry out the development of the Laguna Lake region with due regard and adequate provisions for environmental management and control, preservation of the quality of human life and ecological systems, and the prevention of undue ecological disturbances, deterioration and pollution.”
But it now appears that the opposite is happening.
Not only has Laguna de Bay worsened throughout the years, it seems that the very government agency tasked to solve the problem has grown cold to efforts both by local government units and the private sector to address the issue of flooding in communities near the lake.
Meanwhile, residents living near Laguna de Bay face the prospect of spending Christmas and New Year submerged in knee-deep waters as the continued run-off from the rivers surrounding the lake strain its capacity.

LLDA: Roadblock?

Eastern Visayas is now confronting the full scale of devastation left by Typhoon Tino (international name: Kalmaegi), as government figures verified show thousands affected, families displaced in both Samar and Leyte islands, and communities struggling through blocked roads, widespread flooding and prolonged power interruptions.
