AFP Chief of Staff General 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.

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?

🔴 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.
