They are accused of involvement in a P77.2 million riverbank protection project along the Baligtas River that was declared completed in May 2025 despite an inspection finding no structure at the site, according to the ombudsman.

Cayetano, Lixon clash anew over graft probe Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Ponfilo Lixon traded barbs anew over the flood control probe, with Cayetano accusing Lixon of interfering in investigations and Lixon hitting back that he was merely following the evidence.

In a Facebook livestream, Cayetano sarcastically referred to Lixon as Chief Justice Lixon.

Prosecutor Luxon and DOJ Luxon, saying the senator was acting as though he had authority over several investigations.

Luxon, for his part, said on X he would take Cayetano's descriptions as a compliment if they came from someone credible.

Luxon said Cayetano's attempt to portray him as an investigator and prosecutor reflected his persistence in raising questions and gathering evidence on alleged wrongdoing.

He maintained that his actions were not personal and that he was guided by evidence.

Lixin said anomalies he found in flood control projects last year prompted him to dig deeper, eventually leading him to deliver two privileged speeches on alleged corruption involving projects in Bulacan and Oriental Mindoro.

Sopena said his knowledge was limited to the documents uploaded to the PhilJep system by the procuring entities.

Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano is urging the Supreme Court to resolve as soon as possible questions on the vote threshold in an impeachment trial.

Cayetano's call came after two petitions were filed challenging or seeking clarification on the required vote.

The petitions were filed following the Senate's decision to lower the two-thirds threshold from a fixed 16 votes.

The ombudsman, whose jurisdiction is solely over government officials' crimes, filed charges last week against Senators Mark and Camille Villar for being directors in a water company long before they became senators.

To make sure the number of senators voting to acquit Sarah is reduced, the Marcos regime has been working on filing charges against Senators Alan Peter Cayetano and Robin Hood Padilla, and getting the International Criminal Court to issue an arrest warrant against Bongo.

Appalling.

I find it so appalling that even supposedly thinking columnists and editors find nothing wrong with these Marcos moves, subscribing to Marcos supporter Rep. Robert Barber's idiotic claim that these are coincidental.

two is Senator Rafi Tulfo, 28%.

I think the surprising one is Senator Alan Peter Cayetano, 28% as well.

Maybe

it's the...

Mistrial Warning Baseless, Drillen Former Senate President Franklin Drillen dismissed as wrong and baseless Senate Minority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano's claims that reversing the impeachment court's earlier ruling requiring 16 votes for conviction in the middle of the trial of Vice President Sarah Duterte would result in a mistrial.

Drillen said the June 6 ruling of Presiding Officer Francis Escudero may still be appealed before the entire impeachment court.

There is no basis for the claim of a mistrial, Drillen said in an interview with Radio DZBB over the weekend.

Del Rosario told the Senate court that Duterte was an incorporator of Metro City Chow Foods Corporation in 2016, with a P50,000 subscription and a 20% stake through 2025.

Soft Conviction, 4, Lito Lapid, Subiri, J. V.

A. Hercito, Sherwin Gate Chalian, hard acquittal, 9, siblings Alan Peter and Pia Cayetano, Emy Marcos, Bong Go, Robin Padilla, Mark Villar, Estrada, Marcoletta, and De La Rosa, soft acquittal, 1, Camille Villar, and moderate, 3, Loren Legarda, Joel Villanueva, Escudero.

Could this explain the move of some senators to determine the right voting threshold? The nagging question.

The views expressed by the four Amikai Curie, or Friends of the Court, three eminent former Chief Justices and an Associate Justice, did not provide a singular and coherent answer as to the voting threshold to convict an impeachable official.

Padilla also named six individuals whom he said the public could consider as potential running mates of Vice President Sarah Duterte in the 2028 elections.

The names he cited were Senators Alan Peter Cayetano, Imi Marcos, Bongo, Ronald de la Rosa, Rodante Marcoleta, and former Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Pinelo.

Padilla previously said in February that he would consider running for Vice President in 2028 if instructed by former President Rodrigo Duterte.

Vice President Duterte formally announced her intention to seek the presidency in the 2028 elections that same month.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, Alan Peter Cayetano.
