Been there twice. All photos were taken in the 4th floor general reading area. Last pic is inside the Focused Zone.

​

Nice space. Maaliwalas. Not crowded. Masmatao sa 5th floor maraming students. For leisure reading, I recommend yang 4th floor. Also, andito sa floor na ito yung mga books and periodicals. P.s. may 3 shelves designated for Fiction. For Filo Lit enthusiasts, did a quick browse and saw some Lualhati Bautista and Nick Joaquin titles sa Filipiniana section.

​

Thermostat is set to a comfortable level, not too cold (felt like 26C to my skin, wuw?!)

​

No foods allowed pero pwede magdala ng tumbler.

​

May outlets for charging

​

Polite lahat ng staff. Majority will greet you.

​

May baggage counter sa GF. Bawal magdala ng bags sa taas. Bibitbitin mo lahat ng reading and study materials mo.

​

Every floor, may restrooms.

​

Working elevator

​

They did not ask for a valid ID. Magfill in lang ng info sa logsheet sa 4th floor mismo.

​

Tinatamad ako i-organize thoughts ko. Kaya niyo na yan. Lol.

Somewhere in this absolute sea of bald heads, uniforms, and “BATO” branding… lies the final boss of Philippine politics.

Zoom in all you want. Enhance the image, squint, tilt your phone, adjust brightness but still nothing.

Rumor has it he renders only when you stop looking. Others say he’s already behind you, judging your signal strength and battery percentage.

Legends claim a rare sighting grants +10 confusion, +20 political discourse, and an immediate urge to refresh the page like it’s going to help.

Good luck. You’re not finding him before your battery dies… or before you start questioning why you even started looking in the first place.

I cannot stomach watching this man lead the Senate anymore. The sheer hypocrisy, the trapo energy, and the way he weaponizes his position for political survival is next-level evil. He doesn't care about the constitution or the people; he cares about the script he’s writing for his own career. We’ve had corrupt politicians before, but the level of calculated damage he brings to the institution is genuinely terrifying. End of rant.

Bato’s entire senate staff is composed of members of his family. His daughter Marianne Kristel "Macky" dela Rosa-Estoesta is his chief of staff, his niece Joanna Cedie dela Rosa is his media relations officer, and Jessica May "Mingkay" dela Rosa is his appointments secretary.

Let’s all work hard para may pampasahod tayo sa fugitive na senator at sa mga kamag-anak niyang nasa senado.

TLDR: Ang track record ni Cayetano ay puno ng mga pangakong napapako at mga desisyong mas pabor sa kanyang political survival kaysa sa interes ng masa.

1. Ang Budol sa 10K Ayuda
Ito ang pinakamalaking isyu niya ngayon. Noong kampanya, naniwala ang mga tao na bibigyan sila ng 10k bawat pamilya. Pero nung naupo na siya, sinabi niyang "legislative proposal" lang daw ito. Hanggang ngayon, ito ang laging isinusumbat sa kanya ng mga netizen.

2. Overpriced na Kaldero
Bilang head ng PHISGOC noong 2019 SEA Games, pinayagan niya ang paggastos ng 50 million pesos para sa isang cauldron o kaldero. Marami ang nagalit dahil sobrang mahal nito para sa isang dekorasyon lang habang marami pang ibang kailangang pondohan sa bansa.

3. Pagpapasara sa ABS-CBN
Siya ang Speaker ng Kamara noong mawalan ng prangkisa ang ABS-CBN. Inakusahan siya na sinadya niyang patagalin o "i-hostage" ang mga hearing hanggang sa mapilitan na lang magsara ang station, na naging dahilan ng kawalan ng trabaho ng libo-libong empleyado.

4. Kapit-tuko sa Speakership
Nagkaroon sila ng "gentleman's agreement" ni Lord Allan Velasco na maghahati sila sa termino bilang Speaker. Pero nung oras na para ibigay ang pwesto, humanap siya ng mga dahilan para hindi bumaba. Nauwi ito sa gulo sa Kongreso hanggang sa tuluyan siyang sipain ng mga kasamahan niya.

5. Tungkol sa Citizenship
Naging isyu rin ang pagiging American citizen niya dati. Bagama’t sinabi niyang tinalikuran na niya ito, naging malaking usapin ang katapatan niya sa bansa dahil sa mga dokumentong nagpapatunay na matagal siyang naging dual citizen habang nasa politika.

6. Political Chameleon
Kilala siya sa pagiging "balimbing" o mabilis magpalit ng kulay depende sa kung sino ang nakaupo. Mula sa pagiging kritiko ng mga nakaraang admin, at naging super defender ni Duterte.
