JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT
We strongly condemn what appears to be an attempt to rush a major change in the Senate Rules, especially when several members of the minority still wanted to speak and raise serious questions on the floor.
Bakit kailangang madaliin? Bakit kailangang pigilan ang mga gustong magsalita? Bakit kailangang i-divide ang house kung marami pang senador ang nagtatanong tungkol sa proseso?
Minamadali ba ang rule change na ito dahil gusto nilang maka boto si Senator Bato? At ngayong may mga ulat na may mga majority senators na maaaring arestuhin?
We walked out because what happened on the floor looked less like orderly deliberation. The proposed rule change affects how senators may attend sessions, participate in proceedings and exercise their mandate through remote means, and such a measure should be opened to healthy public debate instead of being rushed by the tyranny of the majority.
We have always welcomed healthy discussions on the floor, but this should mean allowing all members to be heard, not forcing the chamber to move at the speed preferred by the majority.
At the time the motion was taken up, there was no duly constituted Committee on Rules and there was not even an elected Majority Leader who could properly guide a rules amendment through the regular process.
How could there have been any action or discussion before the Committee on Rules when no Committee on Rules has been organized to date?
With due respect, the answer that no Senate rule had been violated does not settle the matter, because the rules cannot be treated as a matter of convenience when the very process for amending them is under serious question.
The timing raises a question that the public deserves to hear debated openly. Kaya pinili naming tumayo at iwan ang majority sa plenary. Kaya kami nagdesisyon to question the quorum and call for adjournment.
If the proposal is truly defensible, then let it pass through the proper route.
We owe it to the people who voted for us to do our mandate. This is why we want more time to discuss this further.

Praying for all the journalists risking their lives tonight just so the public can see the truth of what’s happening in the Senate.
There is no substitute for a free press. No alternative to people willing to stand in the middle of chaos so the country can witness the truth in real time.
Wise of Sen. Lacson to state that Sen. Bato sneaked via Sen. Pia’s car. It was a trap to force their hands to reveal who really facilitated Sen. Bato’s appearance. To the rescue si SP brother sa kanyang ate. Nabulgar tuloy!
Pinagpapatay niyo ang mga ADIK kuno, yun pala kumukubra kayo sa mga DRUGLORD! Nahiya si Satanas sa tibay ng sikmura ng pamilya nato 🙄 #ImpeachIndayLustay
DIYOS KO, TUMINDIG ANG MGA BALAHIBO KO SA BILYONES NI SARA AT NG KANYANG ASAWA. HINDI PA KASALI DIYAN ANG MGA BILYONES NG AMA AT MGA KAPATID. SA MGA DDS, PUTANG INA NIYONG LAHAT. NAGHIHIRAP KAYO PERO SINASAMBA NIYO ANG MGA NAGPAPAHIRAP SA INYO. PUTANG INA NIYO! PUTANG INA NIYO!
Para lang mas naiimagine natin kung ano ang 6 billion pesos.
That’s more than 7,500 classrooms for last-mile schools.
That’s 8,633,094 days — or 23,652 years — of daily work at Manila’s minimum wage.
Corruption is not abstract. It is livelihoods taken, families strained, communities forced to wait.
Every peso lost is a future taken.
Rep Bong Suntay must apologize & make the necessary amends to Ms Anne Curtis. There is absolutely no excuse for his repulsive remarks.
Ang mas nakakabahala, patuloy pa niyang iginigiit na walang mali sa kanyang sinabi.
WOMEN ARE NOT OBJECTS.
Women deserve the same respect and dignity you expect for yourself. See them not as objects to admire, but as a person to honor and celebrate. #BeAnINQUIRER
