ANAK, MASAKIT’

Naging emosyonal ang ina ni Chris Lorenz Fabian, isa sa mga nasawi sa pamamaril sa isang paaralan sa Tacloban City, habang inaalala ang kabayanihang ipinakita ng kanyang anak sa gitna ng trahedya.

Sa isang panayam, sinabi ni Bea Fabian:

“Yung kabutihan ng puso mo yun yung nagdala sayo sa kamatayan mo. Hindi ko sinasabing di maganda yung ginawa mo. Pero kami naman ang iniwan mo.”

Dagdag pa niya:

“Ang bata-bata mo pa, sinakripisyo mo ang buhay mo para sa iba. Choice mong tumulong pero anak, masakit.”

Si Chris ay kinilala ng marami bilang isang bayani matapos lumabas ang mga ulat na sinubukan niyang harangin ang armadong suspek upang hindi ito makapasok sa silid-aralan habang nagaganap ang nakamamatay na insidente.

Patuloy na nakikiramay ang publiko sa pamilya Fabian at sa iba pang mga biktima ng trahedya.

 Ito ang matinding batikos na binitiwan ni labor leader Atty. Luke Espiritu laban sa pamilya Duterte habang nagpapatuloy ang usapin tungkol sa impeachment ni Vice President Sara Duterte.

Ayon kay Espiritu, hindi lamang aniya ang pagpapatalsik kay Sara Duterte ang mahalaga, kundi ang tuluyang pagkawala ng impluwensiya ng pamilya Duterte sa politika ng bansa.

“Importante sa akin hindi lang ma-impeach si Sara kundi absolutely burahin ang Duterte virus na ’yan sa ating lipunan,” pahayag niya.

Giit pa niya, habang nananatiling makapangyarihan ang mga Duterte sa politika, patuloy umano itong nagdudulot ng pagkakahati-hati at suliranin sa bansa.

“Hangga’t nandiyan ’yan, panggulo ’yan sa Pilipinas at ilulugmok niyan ang ating lipunan sa lusak, sa basura,” dagdag niya.

Sa parehong panayam, inusisa rin ni Espiritu ang kakayahan ni Sara Duterte na mamuno sa bansa at iginiit na panahon na upang wakasan ang impluwensiya ng kanilang pamilya sa pampublikong buhay. See less

REPORT FROM THE MANILA TIMES:

MANILA, Philippines — A non-commissioned survey conducted by Tangere found that a majority of Filipinos support the appointment of Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian as Senate President Pro Tempore, while public opinion remained divided over the leadership dispute in the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee and skeptical of allegations made by a group claiming to be former Marines.

Results of the nationwide survey, conducted from June 5 to 6, showed that 67 percent of respondents favored Gatchalian’s appointment, while 25 percent opposed it and 8 percent remained undecided.

According to Tangere, support for Gatchalian’s elevation was largely driven by a desire to end the recent impasse in the Senate and allow lawmakers to focus on pressing national concerns.

Senate employees decry leadership dispute

Among respondents who backed the appointment, 95 percent cited the need to move beyond the political deadlock, while 75 percent identified fighting government corruption and 60 percent cited increasing salaries and wages as top priorities.

The survey found that support for Gatchalian came from a broad coalition of respondents, including administration supporters, backers of former vice president Leni Robredo, Liberal Party supporters, and politically neutral respondents.

In contrast, opposition to Gatchalian’s appointment was concentrated among supporters of Vice President Sara Duterte and former president Rodrigo Duterte, who accounted for 78 percent of those who disapproved of the move.

The survey also examined public opinion regarding the ongoing dispute over the leadership of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee.

Sixty-one percent of respondents said Sen. Erwin Tulfo held the legitimate claim to head the committee, while 30 percent favored Sen. Pia Cayetano. Nine percent were undecided.

Tangere reported that support for Cayetano was strongest among Duterte-aligned respondents, with 80 percent of supporters of Sara Duterte and Rodrigo Duterte backing her claim to the committee leadership.

Meanwhile, support for Tulfo came largely from respondents aligned with Robredo, administration supporters, and politically neutral Filipinos.

When asked about the perceived neutrality of the two senators, 67 percent of respondents said they believed Tulfo would be fair and less influenced by political factions. Only 23 percent expressed the same confidence in Cayetano, while the remainder were undecided.

The survey likewise measured public trust in the testimony of 18 individuals who claimed to be former Marines and alleged that cash-filled suitcases had been delivered as part of a controversy that has recently drawn public attention.

Results showed that 62 percent of Filipinos did not believe the group iwastelling the truth, while 25 percent said they found the allegations credible. Thirteen percent remained undecided.

Tangere said skepticism toward the testimony was strongest among administration supporters, Robredo supporters, and politically neutral respondents, while belief in the claims was primarily concentrated among Duterte supporters.

The survey categorized respondents according to political affiliation, with 38 percent identifying as supporters of Sara Duterte and Rodrigo Duterte, 28 percent as politically neutral or undecided, 18 percent as supporters of Robredo and the Liberal Party, and 16 percent as administration or Marcos supporters.

The mobile-based survey interviewed 1,200 respondents nationwide using a stratified random sampling method with quota-based sampling. Tangere reported a margin of error of ±2.77 percent at a 95 percent confidence level.

Respondents were distributed across the country, with 12 percent from the National Capital Region, 23 percent from Northern Luzon, 22 percent from Southern Luzon, 20 percent from the Visayas, and 23 percent from Mindanao.

Tangere, a market research and technology company, said the survey was conducted independently and was not commissioned by any individual or organization.
