FLOOD CONTROL DE GULAT! 🤣 VP Sara at Malacañang, Nagpalitan ng Banat Habang Problema sa Baha, Usap-Usapan

​

InCaseYouMissedPH | News, Commentary & De Gulat 🤣

Mainit na naman ang usapang pulitika matapos sagutin ni Palace Press Officer Claire Castro ang mga pahayag ni Vice President Sara Duterte tungkol sa umano’y priorities ng administrasyon at pananagutan kaugnay ng mga kontrobersiya sa flood control projects.

At gaya ng inaasahan—mula flood control, nauwi na naman sa “sagot mo, sagot ko!” 

VP Sara: Lubog na sa baha, nasaan ang accountability?

Binatikos ni Vice President Sara Duterte ang mga prayoridad umano ng administrasyon habang patuloy na problema ng maraming Pilipino ang pagbaha at kahirapan.

Sa kanyang pahayag, kinuwestiyon niya kung bakit tila mas nabibigyan ng pansin ang impeachment, 2027 budget at iba pang usaping pampulitika kaysa sa pagpapanagot sa mga dapat managot.

Sa madaling salita:

“Baha na nga sa labas, parang baha rin sa problema!” 

Claire Castro: Tingnan din ang Davao City

Hindi naman nagpahuli ang Palasyo.

Bilang tugon, itinuro ni Claire Castro ang sitwasyon sa Davao City at sinabing nagbigay na umano ng direktiba ang Pangulo na tugunan ang malalang pagbaha roon.

Binanggit din niya ang isang flood-control-related project na ayon sa kanyang pahayag ay matagal nang hindi naaayos at ang kakulangan umano ng dredging.

Translation sa De Gulat language: 

VP Sara: “Nasaan ang accountability?”

Palasyo: “Sandali… tingnan din natin ang bakuran ninyo!”

Taumbayan: “Excuse me po… puwede bang ayusin muna natin ang BAHA?” 

Baha sa kalsada, banat sa pulitika! 

Nakakatawa man ang palitan ng banat, seryoso ang isyu sa likod nito.

Flood control projects involve public money, at kapag may alegasyon ng anomalya, kapalpakan o kapabayaan, hindi sapat ang political finger-pointing.

Dapat malinaw ang tanong:

Magkano ang ginastos?
Saan napunta ang pondo?
Maayos ba ang mga proyekto?
At kung may mapatunayang katiwalian o kapabayaan—SINO ANG MANANAGOT?

Kasi kung bilyon-bilyon ang budget pero hanggang tuhod pa rin ang baha, baka hindi na “flood control” ang tawag diyan…

“Flood, uncontrolled!” 

DE GULAT QUESTION OF THE DAY 

Kung may pondo, proyekto at mga opisyal na nangangasiwa…

Bakit parang mas mabilis pang tumaas ang tubig kaysa sa accountability? 

Sa huli, hindi political bardagulan ang kailangan ng mga residenteng binabaha. Ang gusto ng publiko ay maayos na proyekto, transparency, tamang paggamit ng pera ng bayan at pananagutan kapag may mapatunayang pagkakamali o katiwalian.

Baha sa kalsada? Ayusin.
Anomalya? Imbestigahan.
May kasalanan? Panagutin.

Kahit anong partido, kulay o apelyido pa. 

Kayo, mga ka-ICYM: sino ang may punto sa palitan ng banat? O pareho muna silang mag-focus sa flood control? 

Note: Ang “De Gulat” portions ay satirical commentary. Ang mga alegasyon ay hindi dapat ituring na napatunayang katotohanan maliban kung suportado ng opisyal na imbestigasyon o desisyon.

Alex Eala & Her Dad Share a Memorable US Open Moment With Iva Jovic & Her Dad

​

One of the most heartwarming moments at the US Open in New York wasn’t just about competition—it was about family, support, and the special bond between fathers and daughters. 

Filipina tennis star Alex Eala and her dad shared the court with Iva Jovic and her dad, creating a memorable #GirlDads moment in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

Watching the moment live made it even more special. The atmosphere was filled with smiles, cheers, laughter, and excitement as the two father-daughter pairs enjoyed their time together on the tennis court.

Behind Every Athlete Is a Strong Support System

Professional tennis demands years of training, sacrifice, travel, discipline, and determination. Behind many successful athletes are parents and families who have supported them long before they reached the biggest stages.

For Alex Eala and Iva Jovic, seeing their dads beside them on a US Open court was a wonderful reminder of that journey.

It wasn’t simply about winning or losing. It was about appreciating the people who helped make the dream possible.

A Special Moment for Alex Eala Fans

For Filipino tennis fans, seeing Alex continue to experience memorable moments on the international stage is something to celebrate.

Her journey has inspired many young athletes who dream of representing the Philippines in world tennis. 

And this time, Dad got to be part of the action!

A Beautiful #GirlDads Moment

Proud dads. Strong daughters. Unforgettable memories.

Sometimes the most memorable moments in sports happen beyond the official competition. This was one of them—a celebration of family, love, support, and tennis.

Family. Support. Passion. That’s what champions are made of.

WORLD NO. 1 RANKING ON THE LINE AT THE US OPEN — AND NOW IT’S A FOUR-WAY FIGHT!

​

Last year, the battle for World No. 1 was essentially a two-player race. In 2026, it has turned into a full-blown showdown.

Aryna Sabalenka heads into Flushing Meadows as the defending US Open champion and World No. 1, but her grip on the top spot is under serious pressure.

After spending 104 total weeks at No. 1, including 96 consecutive weeks since overtaking Iga Swiatek in October 2024, Sabalenka now faces a major challenge from Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula and Coco Gauff.

WTA STANDINGS HEADING INTO THE US OPEN

🥇 Aryna Sabalenka — 8,575 points
🥈 Elena Rybakina — 8,141
🥉 Jessica Pegula — 7,265
4️⃣ Coco Gauff — 6,704

But those numbers don’t tell the whole story.

Because the WTA rankings operate on a rolling 52-week system, Sabalenka must defend the 2,000 points she earned by winning last year’s US Open.

Once those points come off, the effective starting totals become:

Rybakina — 7,966
Sabalenka — 6,575
Pegula — 6,485
Gauff — 6,114

That suddenly puts Rybakina in the driver’s seat.

🇰🇿 ELENA RYBAKINA — THE FAVORITE

Rybakina has the clearest path to becoming World No. 1 for the first time.

A sufficiently deep run at Flushing Meadows could put her on top, while Sabalenka faces the enormous pressure of defending championship-level points.

The biggest concern is Rybakina’s fitness after she was forced to retire during Cincinnati because of injury.

If she is healthy in New York, however, the opportunity is massive.

🇧🇾 ARYNA SABALENKA — TITLE DEFENSE UNDER PRESSURE

For Sabalenka, there is little room for error.

With 2,000 points to defend, another deep US Open run is crucial if she wants to extend her reign at the top.

Her Cincinnati campaign ended earlier than expected, adding even more intrigue heading into New York.

🇺🇸 JESSICA PEGULA & COCO GAUFF — STILL IN THE HUNT

Pegula and Gauff are also mathematically alive in the race, but their paths are much more demanding.

Both need a huge US Open — potentially a championship run — while also requiring favorable results elsewhere.

Gauff strengthened her position with a major Cincinnati performance, while Pegula also collected valuable points during the North American hard-court swing.

FOUR PLAYERS. ONE WORLD NO. 1 SPOT.

Sabalenka. Rybakina. Pegula. Gauff.

The US Open won’t just decide the final Grand Slam champion of the season — it could also reshape the very top of women’s tennis.

Sabalenka’s remarkable reign is under threat.

Rybakina has a golden opportunity.

Pegula and Gauff are waiting to strike.

The battle for World No. 1 is officially ON at Flushing Meadows!
