From food pills, to movies on Netflix, to puncturing volcanos, here are the exchanges that DOST Secretary Solidum had to endure during his confirmation hearing.

Inventions by Filipinos, or so they heardIs it true that the fluorescent lamp [was] initially invented by a Filipino with a family name Claude Flores, but eventually was not patented?I heard that the karaoke [was] invented by a Filipino.That was also mentioned that it was, indeed. But, for sure, the video phone was invented by a Filipino way back in the 1950s.

After an hour-long exchange with congressmen, Solidum was confirmed by the CA, with Villafuerte taking note of the wide range of topics that the hearing covered. “When we started this committee, all topics [were] discussed – from Netflix, to lava, to robotics – so I think it’s about time, dear colleagues,” that Solidum’s appointment be confirmed, the Camarines Sur congressman said.

Congressmen were very spontaneous which shows what and where are they pre-occupied with... i hope they remember that every second spent in their offices are payed thru the collective taxes of the people and ask theirselves.. Am I worth it?

privileged question .... not different from barber's point of view... to start a discussion.

Kung makakapagmura lang sya dun sa mga TONGressman, matagal na nyang ginawa un.

The kabobohan and kababawan on display here are embarrassing.

Ano kaya nasa isip ni sir solidum habang tortured utak nya sa mga senseless question..ang mas nakaktawa habang sinasabi feeling nila napaka intelligent ng katanungan nila🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Naaawa ako Kay Sec Solidum 😹 ang tetengee ng mga tanong. Yan na representatives natin? Parang daig pa ng elementary

‘Astronaut food’ or food pill for poor broached at DOST chief’s confirmation hearingICYMI: Feeding the poorest Filipinos with food pills that could last for days or months like what astronauts eat in space has crossed the mind of a lawmaker. But only if Filipino scientists could invent that kind of food. Mapapatanong ka na lang talaga: Ano ba ang nakain ni Marcoleta at laging out of this world ang mga ideya nya? This is very inhumane! Malala pa sa aso. Mabuti pa mga aso totoong food kinakain tapos food pills para sa mahihirap!! Putik na mga ideya yan😡🤬
