Akbayan Party-list first nominee Atty. Chel Diokno said he was shocked to find out that their group is leading the party-list race based on partial, unofficial results.

Diokno told ABS-CBN News on Tuesday they expected to garner a lot of votes, but not the number they initially have.

"Shookt na shookt kami. Di namin in-expect na ganito ang lalabas na resulta. We were hoping of course, for a lot of votes, but we never expected this number," he said.

When asked what contributed to this initial result, Diokno pointed to their campaign strategy, a chunk of which was through social media, which he believes 'leveled the playing field.'

"Tingin ko kombinasyon 'yan ng ground efforts namin at 'yung ginawa namin sa ere, lalong lalo na sa social media. Alam mo naman pag media, dehado ang mga grupo tulad ng Akbayan. Wala kaming resources. Pero pag dating sa socmed [social media], kaya naman. Kinaya talaga," he explained.

"Hindi kami tumigil na umikot mula pa last year. Talagang alam namin na uphill battle ito. Kaya we really did times 10 ang effort namin. Hindi lang sa social media, pati narin on the ground," he added.

Under Republic Act No. 7491, a group that gets at least 2 percent of total votes in the party-list race will get at least one seat in the House of Representatives. If a group garners another 2 percent, an additional seat will be given but is capped at a total of three seats.

Incumbent Akbayan Party-list Rep. Perci Cendaña is the second nominee, while the third nominee is Moro women and indigenous people's leader Dadah Kiram Ismula.

Diokno said they are ready to get to work once they enter the lower house.

"Ang dami naming gustong gawin pag dating sa ating kabataan, pag dating sa iba-ibang sektor. Ang magiging ng isyu nalang namin diyan, alin ang uunahin namin pagbukas ng Kongreso," he said.

"Our priority is really involved in gut issues that affecting our people today. Nandiyan ang issues ng sobrang pagtaas ng presyo ng bilihin ang pagkain lalo na, nandoon ang issue sa corruption, nandiyan yung issue ng napakalaking krisis na edukasyon, pati sa healthcare," the lawyer added.

Diokno welcomed their entry to the lower house as a chance for progressive groups to be united.

"This is just a great opportunity for all the progressive blocs to get together and to really make themselves felt in Congress. Sa tingin ko, napaka-gandang pagkakataon ito. Excited na excited din kami to reach out to all the other groups," he said.

When asked about what position Akbayan will take in Congress, whether it will be opposition or will they collaborate with the administration, he said: "Tingin ko ang pinaka-effective na positi position ay yung issue position. Ibig sabihin nun, titingnan dapat ng grupo [Akbayan] yung bawat issue at ano ba dapat ang magiging paninindigan namin para sa taongbayan."

"Magkakaroon ng sitwasyon na maaaring pareho kami ng tingin sa administrasyon sa issue. For example, West Philippine Sea. We're happy with the way the administration is conducting itself,"

Diokno reiterated his position on reforming the party-list law and being against political dynasties.

"Ako mismo matagal ko nang sinasabi na kailangan ayusin ang party-list system.... Sana maayos natin ang party-list law to make sure siya ang magiging instrumento para may boses ang iba't-ibang sektor lalo na yung marginalized sa ating lipunan," he said.

"Maganda kung maipasok natin yan. Tatlo yung nakikita namin eh. It should be represent the sector. Connected doon, yung napiling nominee should represent the sector at pangatlo yung political dynasty," Diokno added.

As of 9:02 am of May 13 ,2025, Akbayan is at the top spot with 2,204,516 votes at 6.54%.

Noted to be primarily releasing on Steam next year, it seems a bit odd there's no gameplay previews yet, although, like vivid/stasis, it'll be more story-focused and have more songs at the start (exactly 70, 40 of which are originals).

Fundacion Sanso has announced that its founder, Juvenal Sansó, passed away yesterday, March 28. The 95 year-old artist had battled Stage 2 Diabetes for years. In his long and productive life, Sansó established himself as one of the country’s most notable modernists with more than 70 years of work.
Sansó earned prestigious awards, including the Presidential Medal of Merit from the Republic of the Philippines, the Order of Isabella from Spain and the Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from France. His legacy continues through Fundacion Sansó, which continues to preserve his works, authenticate his art and support the next generation of Filipino artists and cultural workers through scholarships and programs that promote the arts.

FYI, the originals are of "Gensokyo Millenium ~ History of the Moon" from Touhou 8 (Imperishable Night) and "Desire Drive" from Touhou 13 (Ten Desires), respectively.

It's been months since this community's original home at kbin.social (RIP), and the summer-fall window's still hot up the rhythm gaming world, as a few days ago, Sunrise Showdown, vivid/statis' second official rhythm game tournament (though with teams instead of individuals, and in a Jet Lag-esque deckbuilding format), had just started a few days ago.

Still, it's a fan-run fediverse hub for all things about that one fun, quirky rhythm game-visual novel-puzzle hybrid with an aura of scifi and mystery at your fingertips, so if you're a fellow fan of rhythm games with extensive lore and stories, come join us for the wild ride (also looking for addt'l. mods and designers)!

Former Palawan governor Joel Reyes, accused as the brains in the 2011 murder of broadcaster and environmentalist Gerry Ortega, surrendered to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) on Wednesday, according to the Presidential Task Force on Media Security.

The PTFoMS confirmed Reyes’ surrender to the NBI’s National Capital Region office on the night of Sept. 11.

Further details regarding the surrender have yet to be released by the NBI and the task force.

Ortega, a critic of Reyes, was shot and killed on Jan. 24, 2011, in a thrift shop in Puerto Princesa, Palawan after completing his radio program.

The journalist frequently criticized local politicians, including Reyes, whom he accused of corruption and allowing the exploitation of Palawan’s natural resources.

Reyes, who fled the country in 2012 alongside his brother, then-Coron mayor Mario, was apprehended in Thailand in 2015.
