Ang Recap na Hindi Nyo Hiningi: 5 Months of Madness

January: Kabi-kabilang Protests

Nag-start ang taon sa matinding protests nationwide, setting the volatile stage para sa mga susunod na wild events.

>The Anti-Corruption Protests (The "Flood Control" Scandal)

>January 16, nag-picket ang Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) sa Department of Budget and Management (DBM) para i-demand ang release ng delayed benefits, substantial salary increases, at ang pag-scrap ng mga pabigat na performance measurement standards (tulad ng RPMS), lalo na after the tragic death of a teacher in Muntinlupa earlier that month.

>January 19, transport groups like PISTON held protests in front of the Department of Transportation (DOTr). Pinaglalaban nila na ibalik yung five-year individual franchise system at i-junk yung "modernization" program, pointing out that hundreds of thousands of drivers and operators had already lost their livelihoods.

February: Impeachment Round 2 & The Hague

>February 2: Sinimulan ulit sa House of Representatives ang second attempt na ma-impeach si Vice President Sara Duterte.

>February 27: Tinapos ng ICC Pre-Trial Chamber ang hearing nila for the confirmation of charges regarding the drug war ni former President Rodrigo Duterte.

March: The Energy Calamity

Dahil sa Iran War at Middle East oil blockades, tinamaan tayo ng malalang fuel crisis. Napilitan ang gobyerno na mag-declare ng state of national energy emergency (E.O. 110).

>April: ICC Warrants at ang Pagkawala ni Zaldy Co

>April 20: In-announce ang extradition plans para kay fugitive ex-Rep. Zaldy Co (na dawit sa flood-control corruption). Na-"found and lost" siya nang mag-try daw mag-seek ng asylum sa Europe.

>April 23: Confirmed. Pormal na kinonfirm ng ICC ang charges na crimes against humanity (murder and attempted murder) laban kay Duterte. Tuloy na ang full trial sa The Hague.

May: Institutional Meltdown (Grabe 'tong buwan na 'to)

>May 11 (Impeachment & Senate Coup): Officially binoto ng House na i-impeach si VP Sara. On the exact same day, nagka-coup sa Senado! Na-oust si Tito Sotto at umupo bilang bagong Senate President si Alan Peter Cayetano.

>May 11–13 (The Senate Standoff): Nagkagulo sa loob ng GSIS compound nung sinubukan ng NBI na i-serve ang active ICC arrest warrant kay Sen. Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa. Nauwi ito sa armed standoff at nagkaputukan (warning shots) between NBI operatives at Senate security (OSAA).

>May 14 (The Great Escape ni Bato): After mag-hideout sa loob ng Senado under the new leadership's temporary protective custody, patagong tumakas si Bato bago magmadaling-araw. Naglaho siya na parang bula at officially a fugitive na ngayon.

>May 18: Nag-convene na ang Senado bilang impeachment court at nag-issue ng formal writ of summons kay VP Sara.
