President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. prepares for his 2026 State of the Nation Address amid questions about corruption

Marcos Says “Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata” — New SONA Corruption Bombshell?

July 24, 202610 min read

“Abangan ang Susunod na Kabanata”: Marcos Keeps SONA Message on Corruption Under Wraps

Patuloy ang paghahanda ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. para sa kanyang State of the Nation Address sa Lunes, Hulyo 27.

Ngunit hanggang ngayon, nananatiling palaisipan kung muling magiging bahagi ng kanyang talumpati ang usapin ng corruption.

Nang tanungin kung muli niyang tatalakayin ang corruption sa kanyang SONA, hindi nagbigay ng direktang sagot ang Pangulo.

Sa halip, sinabi niyang kailangang hintayin ng publiko ang kanyang speech.

“Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.”

Isang maikling pahayag na agad nagbukas ng iba't ibang posibilidad.

📜 LAST YEAR'S WARNING

Sa kanyang nakaraang SONA, mariing binatikos ni Marcos ang corruption sa flood control projects.

Nagbabala rin siya laban sa mga taong sangkot umano sa katiwalian at nagbitaw ng matapang na mensahe:

“Mahiyâ naman kayo.”

Ang pahayag na iyon ay naging isa sa mga pinakatumatak na bahagi ng kanyang talumpati.

Kaya naman ngayong nalalapit na ang kanyang panibagong SONA, muling bumabalik ang tanong:

May panibagong kabanata ba sa laban kontra corruption?

🎤 90% COMPLETE—PERO PATULOY PA RIN ANG REVISION

Ayon sa Pangulo, nasa humigit-kumulang 90% na ang kanyang speech.

Pero hindi pa tapos ang proseso.

Patuloy pa rin umano niyang inaayos at nire-revise ang kanyang address hanggang sa mga huling oras bago ito iharap sa publiko.

Normal ito para sa isang speech na kailangang balansehin ang maraming isyu.

Economy.

Inflation.

Jobs.

Infrastructure.

Foreign policy.

National security.

At siyempre—

corruption.

Ang huling 10% ay maaaring maliit lamang sa papel.

Pero maaaring doon nakatago ang pinakamalaking pagbabago sa mensahe.

🧩 ANO ANG “SUSUNOD NA KABANATA”?

Dito nagiging interesting ang pahayag ng Pangulo.

Ang phrase na:

“Abangan ang susunod na kabanata”

ay maaaring simpleng paraan lamang upang hindi ma-spoil ang speech.

Pero maaari rin itong maging teaser para sa isang mas malaking mensahe.

Lalo na't patuloy na pinag-uusapan ng publiko ang mga isyu ng corruption at accountability.

Kung muling bibigyang-diin ng Pangulo ang corruption sa kanyang SONA, posibleng ipakita nito na nananatiling priority ng kanyang administrasyon ang issue.

Kung hindi naman ito magiging pangunahing bahagi ng speech, maaari rin itong magpahiwatig na lilipat ang kanyang focus sa ibang national priorities.

Sa ngayon—

wala pang kumpirmasyon.

Kaya ang sagot:

Abangan ang SONA.

⚖️ ANG MAS MAHALAGANG TANONG: ACTION O RHETORIC?

Pero may isang mas mahalagang punto.

Ang laban kontra corruption ay hindi nasusukat sa lakas ng speech.

Hindi rin sa dami ng palakpak.

Hindi sa viral quotes.

At hindi lamang sa matitinding salita.

Ang tunay na sukatan ay:

May nahahabol ba?

May napapanagot ba?

May nakukulong ba kung may sapat na ebidensya?

May nababawi bang pera ng bayan?

May nababago bang sistema?

Iyan ang mas mahalagang kabanata.

Dahil ang corruption ay hindi natatapos sa isang SONA.

Nangangailangan ito ng:

investigation.

prosecution.

due process.

At accountability.

🌊 FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS: MANANATILING ISYU?

Ang flood control projects ay naging malaking bahagi ng public discussion tungkol sa corruption matapos ang mga alegasyon ng anomalya at maling paggamit ng pondo.

Kaya kung babanggitin muli ito ng Pangulo sa kanyang SONA, malamang na magiging malaking bahagi ito ng public conversation.

Pero kung hindi man—

hindi nangangahulugan na tapos na ang usapin.

Ang mga alegasyon ng corruption ay dapat pa ring dumaan sa tamang proseso ng imbestigasyon at paglilitis.

Dahil sa huli, ang public accountability ay hindi lamang tungkol sa political speeches.

Ito ay tungkol sa evidence and justice.

🦅 POLITIKANTA MINUTE COMMENTARY

Ito ang interesting part, Bff.

Last year, may “Mahiyâ naman kayo.”

This year:

“Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.”

🔥 That's a natural narrative hook.

Pero huwag nating sabihin na may siguradong pasabog kung wala pang confirmation.

Mas malakas ang editorial approach na:

“Kung may bagong kabanata, ipakita natin kung sino ang bida, sino ang kontrabida, at higit sa lahat—ano ang magiging resulta.”

Because the Filipino public has heard countless promises about fighting corruption.

Ang gusto ng tao ay hindi lamang:

speech.

Gusto nila ng:

action.

🧨 RUTHLESS COMMENTARY

Madaling sabihin:

“Lalabanan natin ang corruption.”

Mas mahirap sabihin:

“Ito ang mga napatunayang sangkot.”

Mas mahirap pa:

“Ito ang ebidensya.”

At pinakamahirap:

“Ito ang hatol ng korte.”

Kaya kung may bagong kabanata sa SONA—

sana hindi lamang bagong chapter sa speech.

Sana bagong chapter sa accountability.

Dahil ang bayan ay hindi nangangailangan ng panibagong headline.

Ang bayan ay nangangailangan ng resulta.

🏁 FINAL COMMENTARY

Habang papalapit ang State of the Nation Address ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr., nananatiling misteryo kung muling magiging sentro ng kanyang talumpati ang laban kontra corruption.

Nasa 90% na umano ang kanyang speech.

Pero patuloy pa rin itong binabago at inaayos.

At sa tanong kung may bago pa ba siyang sasabihin tungkol sa corruption, isang sagot lamang ang ibinigay:

“Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.”

Ngayon, nasa publiko ang paghihintay.

Pero pagkatapos ng SONA, isang mas mahalagang tanong ang kailangang sagutin:

Ano ang susunod na kabanata pagkatapos ng speech?

Dahil ang tunay na laban kontra corruption ay hindi natatapos kapag bumaba na ang Pangulo sa podium.

Doon pa lamang dapat magsimula ang tunay na accountability.

✝️ EXEGESIS / BIBLE VERSE

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”

— Luke 12:2 (KJV)

EXEGESIS

This verse speaks about the eventual exposure of what is hidden.

In the context of governance, it reminds us that accountability requires transparency.

Whether the issue involves corruption, public funds, or abuse of authority, truth should ultimately be brought into the light.

But revelation must also be accompanied by justice.

Accusations alone are not enough.

The truth must be established through evidence and due process.

What is hidden may eventually be revealed—but accountability requires action after the truth is known.

AFP Warns Public vs Deepfake Videos Impersonating Chief of Staff Brawner

BBM Watch

December 26, 2025•5 min read

The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has issued a public warning against fake YouTube videos that use deepfake technology to impersonate AFP Chief of Staff Romeo Brawner Jr..

AFP Warns Public vs Deepfake Videos Impersonating Chief of Staff Brawner

According to the AFP, the videos circulating online are AI-generated, unauthorized, and digitally manipulated, falsely presenting statements allegedly made by General Brawner. The military clarified that these videos did not originate from any official AFP platform.

How the deepfakes operate

AFP officials explained that the fake content mimics General Brawner’s appearance and voice, making it appear as though he is delivering official statements. The videos were reportedly uploaded on YouTube channels that do not have any affiliation with the AFP.

Authorities noted that this form of disinformation is designed to mislead the public and undermine trust in official institutions.

AFP response and public warning

The AFP strongly condemned the malicious use of artificial intelligence and warned that those responsible could face legal consequences.

Military spokespersons urged the public to:

  • Verify information only through official AFP channels

  • Be cautious of viral videos featuring senior officials

  • Report suspicious content to platform moderators and authorities

The AFP emphasized that it does not issue policy directives or sensitive statements through unofficial YouTube accounts.

Broader disinformation concerns

The warning comes amid heightened vigilance against coordinated disinformation campaigns targeting government institutions, including the military. Officials noted that deepfake technology has increasingly been used to exploit public trust during politically sensitive periods.

The AFP reiterated its commitment to professionalism, constitutional duty, and transparency, stressing that misleading content poses risks to national security and public confidence.

Hindi Pinaka-High Tech, Pero Pinaka-Subok: AFP ayon kay Gen. Brawner

Hindi Pinaka-High Tech, Pero Pinaka-Subok: AFP ayon kay Gen. Brawner

Hindi sa dami ng makabagong armas nasusukat ang lakas ng isang hukbo. Para kay AFP Chief of Staff General Romeo Brawner Jr., ang tunay na sukatan ay karanasan at dedikasyon.

Hindi Pinaka-High Tech, Pero Pinaka-Subok: AFP ayon kay Gen. Brawner

Sa isang pahayag, iginiit ni Brawner na maaaring hindi “world-class” sa kagamitan ang Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), ngunit kabilang umano ito sa pinaka-experienced armed forces sa buong mundo.

Ang karanasang ito ay hinubog ng dekada-dekadang operasyon laban sa insurgency, terorismo, at ng tuloy-tuloy na pagtugon sa mga kalamidad tulad ng bagyo, lindol, at baha. Ayon kay Brawner, ito ang dahilan kung bakit nananatiling handa ang sundalong Pilipino sa iba’t ibang uri ng misyon, sa kabila ng limitasyon sa modernisasyon.

Dagdag pa niya, patuloy pa ring isinusulong ng AFP ang modernization program, kahit may mga hadlang, upang matiyak na ang kakayahan ng hukbo ay sasabay sa mga hamon ng kasalukuyang panahon.

Sa huli, ang mensahe ay malinaw: ang lakas ng AFP ay hindi lang nasa armas, kundi sa karanasan, disiplina, at sakripisyo ng bawat sundalo.

AFP to Hold a Simple Christmas Amid Flood Mess Scandal

AFP to Hold a Simple Christmas Amid Flood Mess Scandal — But Why Must the Troops Pay the Price?

eneral Romeo Brawner Jr. announced that the Armed Forces of the Philippines will tone down Christmas festivities this 2025. No grand programs. No lavish gatherings. Just a modest observance out of respect for Filipinos affected by calamities — and out of awareness of the outrage over the flood control corruption scandal.

AFP Chief Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. stands at a podium in full military uniform delivering a speech, as news reports highlight plans for a simple Christmas celebration due to calamities and a nationwide flood control corruption scandal.

At face value, this sounds noble. Soldiers always step back so others can step forward.

But the deeper question is this:
Why must the AFP tighten its belt because politicians failed?

Billions were lost to ghost rivers, non-existent structures, overpriced flood mitigation, and anomalous projects flagged by COA and ICID. Roads that should have been repaired remain broken. Infrastructure that should’ve protected communities never materialized. And now, the AFP is expected to model “simplicity” while the political architects of the mess continue to dodge accountability.

The contrast is striking:
The military sacrifices.
The people suffer.
The corrupt remain untouched.

General Brawner’s call for simplicity underscores the gravity of the nation’s condition — a country still recovering from storms, landslides, and political storms triggered by the trillions spent and billions lost on questionable flood control contracts.

Meanwhile, the administration continues to promise arrests, hearings, and investigations. Yet the public remains unconvinced. Because Filipinos are no longer looking for promises — they want action.

A simple Christmas?
Fine.

But let it not distract from the real demand of the nation:

Simple justice.
Swift justice.
Equal justice — kahit gaano kalaki ang isda.

And as the AFP stands guard this holiday season, the people stand guard too —
over the truth.


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?

A comparison graphic showing contradicting statements of President Marcos and Atty. Ruy Rondain regarding alleged passport-blackmail negotiations.

🔴 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)

🔵 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.
