#ThoughtLeaders | PCCI chairman Perry Ferrer delivers a blunt warning on corruption, accountability, and the cost of broken public trust — arguing that Filipinos deserve to know exactly how government spends “our money.” From demanding transparency in project costing to pushing for deeper private sector participation in reform, he lays out why real implementation, not just promises, will define whether confidence in the system can be restored. #OneNews #Long Conversation (Recorded: January 19, 2026)
#PolitikaAllTheWay | Federalism advocate Orion Perez Dumdum explains why the Duterte administration’s push for federalism and charter change failed to push through — from what he describes as a “too many lawyers” problem in the consultative committee, to issues he raises about the draft (including keeping the 60-40 restrictions and gaps in the proposed federal setup). He also looks back at how the momentum was disrupted by the Taal eruption and the COVID-19 outbreak, and argues why changing the system remains “absolutely necessary.”
#TheMensRoom | Robb Guinto opens up about her past relationship with a Korean ex she says she nearly married—until a “third party” happened. Later, she talks about how her mindset has changed on doing sexy scenes, admitting “nahihirapan na ako” the longer she’s been doing it.
#ThoughtLeaders | Fresh from inspecting Quezon City’s learning recovery rollout, UK school inspector Edison David MBE calls the Philippines’ learning crisis “an emergency” and argues for urgent, systematic phonics-based reading reform—while pushing back on excessive testing, paperwork, and false trade-offs between classrooms and teaching. #OneNews #Long Conversation
#SafeHouse | Ronald Llamas and One News editors trace the pressure points converging on 2028. They also dig into rumors of bank accounts and “new evidence” that could reshape the impeachment battle, plus talk of NUP’s real endgame in Congress. Then the conversation zooms out to the power brokers: a “most powerful” businessman driven by influence, predictability, and stability — and how that kind of behind-the-scenes push could quietly rewire alliances.All of it leads to the biggest question for the Duterte camp: if 2028 turns into a loyalty test, does Bong Go remain the loyal standard-bearer… or does he become the rival to Sara?
#PolitikaAllTheWay | Constitutional law professor and former presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda weighs in on the 2028 landscape—why VP Sara Duterte is “destined to run,” how impeachment depends on political signals and the numbers game, and how social media echo chambers and troll behavior shape public opinion.He also tackles the flood control scam narrative and the trust problem hounding the Marcos administration, stressing accountability and consequences. Plus, a straight legal explainer on the Rome Statute, The Hague, and why the Philippines remains obligated to cooperate with ICC probes tied to the years it was still a member.
#TheMensRoom | Raymond Bagatsing talks about why he stays private despite public speculation, how he pours his “kaluluwa at puso” into his craft, and how the pressure to follow society’s idea of family and marriage can weigh on someone. He also opens up about personal lows, learning to embrace whatever life gives, and finding clarity through meditation—choosing growth over constant defense, and focusing on being a good human being.
#ThoughtLeaders | As the Philippines chairs ASEAN 2026, ABAC leaders George Barcelon and Joey Concepcion confront investor doubts on governance—admitting “we don’t hide it” and warning that what happened in Congress was “a massive loophole.” They lay out how the private sector plans to push jobs, reforms, and an “open for business” message amid lingering public anger. #OneNews #Long #Conversation
#SafeHouse | “Kasi ngayon the Senate seems to be hedging on whether they will surrender the two.”As talk swirls around possible warrants, the editors break down what’s real, what’s “premature,” and why it could all come down to timing — “Bulagaan na lang eh.”Catch 'Safe House' every Wednesday, 7:00 PM on #LongConversation here on One News.#OneNews #LongConversation
#TheMensRoom | Award-winning theater and character actress Sue Prado joins #TheMensRoom for a wide-ranging conversation—from her UPLB beginnings and why theater training demands discipline, to how she entered showbiz through auditions and “blast text/Yahoo Groups” days. She also opens up about surviving a near-fatal car crash, rebuilding her life (including a stint in the BPO industry), and the turns of fate that brought her back to acting full-time. The episode also dives into the realities behind casting culture, “pangako” moves, and why she believes these issues go beyond entertainment—because it can be “about power” and “control.”
#PolitikaAllTheWay | ACT Teachers Party-list Rep. Antonio Tinio breaks down why the flood control issue has become the “overarching” crisis in politics—and why he believes accountability now looks “selective” and even “negotiable.”He also rejects the “lesser evil” argument—saying both the President and Vice President must be held accountable—while calling out the double standard in the justice system, where ordinary citizens can be jailed over small amounts but powerful officials can shrug off massive controversies.The conversation also tackles the hunt for the “big fish,” the Blue Ribbon report controversy, the names being dragged into the flood control narrative, and Tinio’s challenge for Ombudsman Boying Remulla to prove independence by investigating Malacañang-linked officials.
#ThoughtLeaders | MAP President Donald Lim says the Philippines has hit a “new all-time low”—and calls ASEAN chair year the country’s “final exam” to restore trust, competitiveness, and investor confidence through stronger governance and smarter tech use. #OneNews #Long Conversation
#SafeHouse | One News editors unpack a loaded label thrown into the conversation — “Dilaw n augaling DDS” — as they discuss how Ronald Llamas keeps landing in headlines, the role of catchphrases and “magaling siya magpa-viral,” and why political branding still shapes public perception.They also revisit the Senate plenary exchange that revived questions about the “China line,” backchannel diplomacy, and what shifting timelines could mean for today’s West Philippine Sea narrative.
#SafeHouse | As the year turns, political pundit Ronald Llamas lays down what he calls his New Year’s resolution for the government: real accountability and real reform.Llamas says public outrage will only grow if no “big fish” are jailed and if the proposed Anti-Dynasty Bill remains watered down. He explains why symbolic gestures are no longer enough, why January is critical, and how failure to act could push public anger beyond previous limits.
#TheViewFromManila | Leloy Claudio dives deep into the roots of corruption, the impunity that fuels it, and how the Philippines must break free from its economic mismanagement. From the dangerous legacy of neoliberalism to the urgent need for an industrial policy that taps into the country’s untapped potential, Claudio calls for a radical shift toward prosperity. Is it time to rethink history and create a new economic future?
#PolitikaAllTheWay | Lawyer-stand-up comedian and political analyst Atty. Edward Chico joins Jojo A. for a no-holds-barred talk on why “comedy is truth without violence,” how social media echo chambers fuel outrage and fake news, and why a case built on documents and electronic evidence can get complicated when a key witness—like Secretary Cabral—dies.
#TheMensRoom | UAAP champion Jacob Cortez talks about the “shot of a lifetime” and the Janno Gibbs look-alike memes—“You had to Google me, didn’t you?”—as the hosts joke about the resemblance.

#SafeHouse | What starts as Christmas Eve banter — “Peace on Earth” and “Paskong Pasko eh” — turns into a sharp political metaphor. Ronald Llamas and the panel talk about light in dark times, a government “naliligaw na landas,” and why the country needs a compass to know where it’s headed.
#TheViewFromManila | Political analysts Ederson Tapia and Gary Dionisio join Richard Heydarian to dissect the country’s shifting power landscape — from why President Marcos may be “safe for the Christmas season” to the political risks waiting in early 2026. The discussion tackles the impeachment clock on VP Sara Duterte, the credibility of recent exposés, the missing money trail in corruption cases, the future of the ICI, and whether anti-dynasty bills signal real reform or performative politics amid public anger over flood control funds.
