[EDITORIAL] Sino ang mga kunsintidor sa Senado?

Nagkaroon ba talaga ng Senate coup? Nagbibiruan lang pala ang mga senador nang umakyat sa podium si Senador Loren Legarda — at cosplay lang pala iyon nang tawagin siya ni Senador Migs Zubiri na “Madam President,” at ipinukpok niya ang gavel. Ang mensahe: “We’re cool, we’re not threatened.”

Senate, Coup, Tito Sotto, Loren Legarda, Chiz Escudero, Jinggoy Estrada, Joel Villanueva, Flood Control

Pero, ayon sa sources ng Rappler, may coup naman talagang naganap, pero ilang oras lang — at, sa bandang huli, nagwagi ang transactional politics.

Habang naiintriga tayo sa horse-trading at backroom talks, let’s pull out at tingnan ang big picture. 

Nangyari ang coup sa panahong may umikot na draft ng Senate blue ribbon committee report on flood control corruption.

Parang kidlat ‘yan na tatama sa Minority dahil inirerekomenda ng blue ribbon ang paghahabla kina Chiz Escudero, Joel Villanueva, at Jinggoy Estrada dahil sa pagkakakasangkot sa korupsiyon sa mga proyekto.

Ayon sa sources ng Rappler, tatlong senador lang ang pumirma sa draft resolution “with reservation” at  dapat ay magkakaroon ng “interpellation and amendments later.”

Itong minority, niligawan si Legarda at ang carrot ay ang Senate presidency. Bakit si Loren? Dahil ba ambisyosa siya? O meron siyang layong protektahan, lalo na’t kaliwa’t kanan ang batikos sa anak niyang naging oportunista daw sa power sector? Who knows?

Kung maagaw ng minority ang Senate presidency, maibabalik din sa kontrol nila ang makapangyarihang blue ribbon. Matatandaang dati itong kaharian ni Senador Rodante Marcoleta, na nagrekomendang ilagay sa witness protection ang mga Discaya. (BASAHIN: Lacson to Marcoleta: Why are you protective of the Discayas?)  

Ito ‘yung panahong si Chiz Escudero pa ang presidente ng Senado. In those days, mga fashion bloggers lang ang may pakialam na mayroong million-dollar ring sa daliri ng asawa ni Escudero, at inggit, hindi poot, ang reaksiyon ng mga tao. (BASAHIN: Chiz Escudero, Heart Evangelista: Extravagance as love language)

Hindi namin alam paano nila didiskartehan ‘yan kung naagaw nga nila ang Senate presidency, lalo na’t may draft report na si Ping Lacson, ang kasalukuyang chairman ng komite. Siguro, sa loob-loob ng Minority, bahala na si Batman, basta natungkab na nila sa poder si Senador Tito Sotto at Lacson, at ninanamnam na nila ang matamis na tagumpay.

Which brings us back to our question: Saan pumapasok ang interest nating taumbayan?

Di ba ang pagpo-project ng mga senador, galit silang lahat sa korupsiyon? Bakit hindi nila ipamukha sa buong mundo na hindi nila palalampasin ang korap, kahit na kapwa senador pa ‘yan?

Pero natabunan na ng Senate coup ang dapat ay tinatrabaho ng Senado ngayon, lalo na sa gitna ng masidhing public clamor para sa katarungan sa harap ng flood control mess. 

Ang Senado dapat ang institusyong nagtatrabaho upang makamit ang hustisya, good governance, at rule of law. Pero na-overshadow ng pulitika ang core duty na ito.

At mas nakasusuka na ang Minority ang nangunguna sa pag-undermine ng trabahong ito. Talaga bang vested interest ‘nyo lang ang mahalaga sa inyo, mga ginang at ginoo?

Read the writing on the wall: Tinatamaan na ang ekonomiya. Nito lang nakaraang linggo, lumabas ang datos na hindi bumaba ang unemployment sa bansa kahit na karaniwang naghahatid ang Disyembre ng magandang numero para sa ekonomiya.

Ito’y dahil na-cancel out ng historic low sa public infrastructure ang mga ganansiya noong Pasko sa service sector. In other words, ang mga trabahador sa konstruksyon pati na ang nasa transport and storage, nakatitig sa kawalan dahil wala silang trabaho. 

Mismong Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas ang nagsasabi na mayroong “weakening outlook” at “declining business sentiment” dahil sa flood control corruption scandal.

Maraming naiinip sa mabagal na usad ng mga imbestigasyon. Kakaunti pa lang ang nasasampahan ng kaso. 

Mga minamahal na senador, gintong pagkakataon ito para patunayang talagang kagalang-galang kayo — at hindi ‘nyo pagtatakpan ang pangungurakot ng mga kapwa ‘nyo senador. Kaya’t tigilan na ang tribo-tribo.

Ilabas na ang report na ‘yan, at dapat pumirma ang mayorya. Sa bandang huli, dapat ang lumitaw: walang kunsintidor sa Senado. – Rappler.com

Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia

The post Huawei goes public with chip ambitions, boosting China’s tech autonomy post-Nvidia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Huawei publicly revealed its full chip roadmap on Thursday during its annual Connect conference in Shanghai, confirming it would begin releasing some of the world’s most powerful computing systems in a push to reduce China’s reliance on Nvidia and other foreign chipmakers, according to Reuters. Eric Xu, Huawei’s rotating chairman, disclosed that the company had developed its own high-bandwidth memory, a technology previously led by Samsung and SK Hynix. Xu said, “We will follow a 1-year release cycle and double compute with each release,” making it clear Huawei now intends to release next-gen chips and hardware annually with increased processing capabilities. The announcement came just days before U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet on Friday, following trade talks between both countries earlier in the week. The move is widely seen as an attempt by Beijing to project confidence in its tech ecosystem as U.S.-China tensions continue to grow. Huawei releases full schedule for Ascend, Kunpeng chips, and computing clusters Huawei detailed the timeline for its AI chip series Ascend, starting with the 910C, which was released earlier this year. The Ascend 950 will launch in 2026 with two variants. The 960 will follow in 2027, and the 970 is scheduled for 2028. Huawei also confirmed its Kunpeng server chips will receive updates in 2026 and 2028. China’s chip war with the U.S. escalated this week as Nvidia was accused of violating China’s anti-monopoly law, and several large Chinese tech firms were ordered to cancel Nvidia AI chip orders. Financial Times reported that government regulators had also instructed distributors to stop placing new Nvidia orders. One executive in China’s chip distribution industry said his company was told verbally to stop buying Nvidia chips and was only allowed to sell current inventory. That executive declined…
