Risa vs Guanzon: Kredito, BICAM, at ang Karaniwang Eksena sa Politika — Sino Ba Talaga ang May Ambag?

December 11, 20254 min read

Nag-viral ang pahayag ni former Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon laban kay Sen. Risa Hontiveros, matapos sabihin ni Guanzon na wala raw karapatan si Hontiveros na “mag-claim ng credit” sa Supreme Court ruling tungkol sa PhilHealth reserve funds.

Ayon sa post, si Hontiveros daw ang lumagda sa BICAM Report ng GAA 2024, kung saan kasama ang probisyong nag-utos sa PhilHealth na mag-remit ng reserve funds sa national treasury.

Pero tandaan:
Ang away na ito ay more on political credit, not criminal liability.
It’s a clash of versions, narratives, at kung sino ang mas may ambag — hindi ito hatol, hindi ito korte, at hindi ito final conclusion.

Ito ang classic landscape ng pulitika sa Pilipinas:
– May nag-aangkin ng ambag.
– May nagdi-dispute ng ambag.
– May nag-iingay kapag hindi sila nabanggit.
– At ang netizens? Automatic referee.

Sa Agila perspective, malinaw:
Kapag may Supreme Court decision na maganda ang dating sa publiko, siguradong may “credit war” na susunod.
At hindi bago na ang mga tumututol ay mismong mga dati nang magkaka-tension sa politika.

Ang dapat bantayan ng taong-bayan ay hindi ang personal na bangayan,
kundi ang mas malaking tanong:
Paano napunta sa gulo ang pondo ng PhilHealth in the first place?
At bakit tuwing may ruling, may nag-aagawan ng kwento?

In short:
Politics is politics — chismis is chismis — pero ang pondo ng bayan, ‘yan ang dapat bantayan.


Sen. Bong Go: “Ipakita kung saan napunta ang ₱60B.” The Call for Accountability That the Public Deserves

Sen. Bong Go: “Ipakita kung saan napunta ang ₱60B.” The Call for Accountability That the Public Deserves

Senator Bong Go’s latest statement struck a nerve — because it spoke directly to the simmering frustration of millions of Filipinos:
Where did the ₱60 billion in PhilHealth excess funds go?

Sen. Bong Go

The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision ordering the return of the diverted funds cracked open a question the public has been asking silently for years:
Saan napunta ang pera ng taumbayan?

And Bong Go didn’t mince words:
✔ Possible misuse under “unprogrammed funds.”
✔ Possible diversion to flood control — the most abused, ghost-project-friendly pit in the entire budget.
✔ Possible siphoning by opportunists who treated government funds like their personal ATM.

“Marami ang nangangamba,” Bong Go said — and he’s right.
Fear grows when transparency disappears.
Doubt grows when accountability is dodged.
And corruption thrives in darkness.

The Real Enemy Isn’t PhilHealth. It’s the System That Allowed This.

This isn’t about one agency.
This is about a network of operators who have mastered the art of moving money without leaving fingerprints.

We already saw how flood control became the favorite milking cow of corruption:
✔ Ghost rivers
✔ Ghost dikes
✔ Ghost contractors
✔ Ghost everything

And now… possibly ghost PhilHealth funds too?

Sen. Bong Go’s call is simple and righteous:
Ipakita ang resibo. Ipakita ang totoo.

This aligns perfectly with the Agila fight:
Expose the truth.
Protect public funds.
Shield the people from institutional betrayal.


Bible Verse (Required)

Luke 12:2 — “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed.”
No matter how they hide the paper trail,
God exposes what the powerful try to bury.


Bong Go Says Pay the Frontliners: ₱1.4B Needed to Settle Pandemic Health Worker Allowances

Senator Bong Go has once again placed the spotlight on the nation’s forgotten heroes — the health workers who served through the terror and trauma of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Senator Bong Go speaking at a public event as he urges the Senate to allocate ₱1.4B to pay unpaid health worker allowances.

Sa plenary discussion ng 2026 DOH budget, Go stressed that ₱1.4 billion is the last remaining amount needed to fully settle unpaid Health Emergency Allowances (HEA).

The senator emphasized that the HEA is not a luxury, not even a token of appreciation —
it is a legal right under RA 11712 and a moral duty of the government.

While billions in questionable insertions move freely across agencies,
our own medical frontliners waited years for benefits that should have been released during their darkest battles.

For Bong Go, fulfilling this obligation is part of restoring trust, honoring service, and recognizing the suffering endured by medical personnel who faced overwhelming workloads, personal risk, and emotional strain.

At sinasabi nga sa Hebrews 6:10:
“God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you showed.”

Kung kayang mag-eruption ng bilyones para sa mga hindi alam kung saan napupunta,
paano pa kaya ang halagang dapat ibigay sa mga taong literal na nagligtas ng buhay?
