“Resign!”: The People’s Verdict on the ₱60B PhilHealth Fiasco
When health funds were treated like spare change.
There are mistakes.
There are miscalculations.
And then there are decisions so reckless they cross into betrayal.
The call for Executive Secretary Ralph Recto to resign did not come from trolls, partisans, or noise merchants. It came from former senators, health professionals, labor groups, and petitioners — armed with one powerful backing:
⚖️ A Supreme Court ruling.
⚠️ ₱60 Billion Meant for Health — Diverted Elsewhere
The Supreme Court ordered the return of ₱60 billion in PhilHealth funds, ruling that the transfer to the national treasury violated the constitutionally guaranteed right to health.
Let that sink in.
This wasn’t just a budgeting issue.
This wasn’t “diskarte.”
This was a constitutional breach.
While hospitals struggle, patients borrow money for treatment, and families choose between medicine and food — the funds meant to cushion Filipinos were treated as optional money.
🩺 Health Is Not a Leftover Line Item
Petitioners made it clear:
“Financial misalignment is not merely a budgeting error — it is a violation of the people’s right to health.”
That statement cuts deep because it hits the heart of governance.
You can debate infrastructure.
You can argue timelines.
But health funds are not flexible cash.
They are lifelines.
🦅 Why the Call for Resignation Matters
The demand for Recto’s resignation is not about personality.
It is about accountability at the highest level.
When a policy decision causes:
✔ Misuse of public health funds
✔ Supreme Court reversal
✔ Nationwide outrage from medical and labor sectors
Leadership is expected to respond — not deflect.
In any serious democracy, resignation is not weakness.
It is responsibility.
🧠 The Agila Test
An agila does not fly away when storms arrive.
But it also does not pretend the storm doesn’t exist.
If public trust is broken, it must be repaired — not explained away.
Returning the ₱60B is step one.
Holding decision-makers accountable is step two.
Without step two, step one is just damage control.
⚖️ Final Word
Health funds are sacred.
They are not emergency piggy banks.
They are not political buffers.
When the Supreme Court speaks, excuses should fall silent.
🦅 The people have spoken.
🦅 The court has ruled.
🦅 Accountability must follow.
Marcos Jr. ‘Unfazed’ by Resignation Calls — Pero Bayan ang Patuloy na Umiinit
Sa harap ng pinakamalaking anti-corruption protests mula 1986, iginiit ng Malacañang na "unfazed" si President Bongbong Marcos Jr. sa panawagang mag-resign dahil sa flood control scandal na umabot na sa daang bilyong piso.
Ayon kay PCO Secretary Dave Gomez, tututukan daw ni Marcos ang “job he began” — ang trabahong siya mismo ang nagbulgar ng anomalya, ayon sa Palasyo. Ngunit para sa karamihan, ang tanong ay mas malalim:
Kung siya ang nagbulgar, bakit hindi siya ang unang nagpresenta ng ebidensya… bago pa man si Zaldy Co?
Habang lumalakas ang sigawan sa kalsada, patuloy na lumalabas ang mga sumusunod na realidad:
🔍 1. Public frustration is widespread
Nasa lansangan ang libu-libo — hindi dahil sa politika lamang, kundi sa paulit-ulit na katiwalian na walang nangyayari kahit malinaw ang ebidensya.
🔍 2. “Unfazed” pero defensive
Sa kabila ng narrative ng Palasyo, mapapansin ang sunod-sunod na shifting statements:
“Fake news lang yan.”
“Come home.”
“Blackmail.”
“I do not negotiate with criminals.”
Ngayon naman:“Unfazed.”
Kung hindi apektado, bakit pabago-bago ang kwento?
🔍 3. Due process or delay?
Ayon sa DOJ at Ombudsman, madaming progress — may freeze orders, warrants, at kaso na.
Pero ang tanong ng bayan:
Sa daming involved na mambabatas, kaya ba talagang tapusin ito nang walang tinatabi?
🔍 4. “Finish the job” — pero ano ba ang trabaho?
Sa gitna ng krisis, mas malinaw ang tanong kaysa sagot:
Ang “trabaho ba” ay linisin ang gobyerno…
o depensahan ang sarili laban sa mga alegasyon?
At tulad ng sabi sa Kasulatan:
📖 “The guilty flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.” — Proverbs 28:1
Kung walang dapat katakutan, bakit tila nagmamadali ang narratives?
BBM Shifts the Narrative Again: From ‘Fake News’ to ‘Come Home’ to ‘Blackmail’
Pumutok na naman ang bagong istorya mula sa Malacañang:
Blackmail daw.
Ayon kay Pangulong Bongbong Marcos, lumapit umano ang abogado ni Zaldy Co at nagbanta na “kung hindi kanselahin ang passport, hindi na maglalabas ng video.”
Pero hindi pa man natutuyo ang tinta ng balita — nagtataas na ng kilay ang bayan.
Dahil ang pattern, malinaw na malinaw:
1️⃣ Una: “Fake news lang ‘yan.”
2️⃣ Pangalawa: “Come home, harapin mo kaso mo.”
3️⃣ Ngayon: “Blackmail attempt.”
The storyline keeps changing — pero ang ₱52 billion kickback allegations, hindi masagot nang diretsuhan.
Kaya lumalakas ang tanong ng publiko:
Ito ba ay totoong blackmail?
O panibagong narrative para mailihis ang usapan?
Sa gitna ng lahat, isang prinsipyo ng Biblia ang lumulutang:
“Be sure your sin will find you out.” — Numbers 32:23
Ang katotohanan, walang passport cancellation.
Walang narrative shift.
Walang spokesperson spin
na makakapigil sa paglitaw nito.
When stories change too often,
the public starts seeing what’s really consistent:
ang takot.
BBM vs. Atty. Rondain: Sino Ba Talaga ang Nagsisinungaling?
At Bakit Laging Nagkakabaliktaran ang Bersyon ng Malacañang?**
Sa loob lamang ng isang araw, dalawang magkasalungat na pahayag ang lumabas — parehong galing sa magkabilang kampo, parehong may bigat, pareho ring naglalaman ng “truth claims.” Pero ang tanong ng bayan: Alin dito ang may tunog ng katotohanan?
🔴 BBM’s Statement (Nov. 26, 2025):
“Nilapitan kami ng abogado ni Zaldy Co… nagtatangkang mag-blackmail… na kung hindi namin kakanselahin ang passport niya, hindi raw siya maglalabas ng videos.
🔵 Atty. Ruy Rondain’s Response (Same day):
“Completely untrue… I have not spoken with anyone from the government… I have no control over the release of the videos.”
Magkasalungat. Diretsuhan. Walang paligoy.
Pero ano ang nakikita ng sambayanang Pilipino?
Paulit-ulit ang pattern ng Palasyo:
Kapag may pumutok na ebidensya laban sa Pangulo —
nagpapalit ng script, naglilihis ng kuwento, at naghahagis ng bagong akusasyon to shift the conversation.
BBM is trying to frame Co’s exposé as “blackmail”
Pero hindi nito sinasagot ang pinaka-importanteng tanong:
👉 Totoo ba o hindi ang ₱25B delivery?
👉 Totoo ba o hindi ang ₱52B Bulacan insertion?
Rondain’s denial is clean, concise, and consistent
Walang drama. Walang emosyon. Walang pagtatakip.
Isang pahayag lang: “Hindi totoo.”

Zaldy Co’s videos are already public
Ano pang “blackmail” kung nasa internet na ang lahat at hindi na mapipigilan ang paglabas ng susunod?
Public perception favors Co, not BBM
Why?
Because BBM has changed his narrative at least five times in five days, habang si Co —
consistent, timeline-based, at may dokumento.
Marcos narrative is collapsing
The more they attack, the more people ask:
“Bakit hindi sagutin nang diretsuhan ang mismong akusasyon?”
“For nothing is hidden that will not be made manifest.” — Luke 8:17
At ngayon, lumalabas ang lahat —
hindi dahil sa politika,
kundi dahil hindi kayang itago ang liwanag sa lumalaking dilim.
