Day 20 of the impeachment trial
Sept 1, 2026 · Army officers testified that youth summits DepEd cited to justify its confidential funds were paid for by local governments and participating agencies.
83% of chat messages that took a side were against the VP
The ANC, UNTV, Rappler and Bilyonaryo live chats had 3,464 messages. Setting copy-pastes aside, 2,856 were different, and 695 of those clearly took a side. This is not a survey: it shows only what people chose to type in the chat, not what all Filipinos think. How it's measured
