NOT FROM MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA

Contrary to Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's claim, it was not members of the media who applauded and cheered for him during his press conference at the Senate on Thursday, but rather his own staff and several guests in attendance.

"First time akong napalakpakan ng media, walang bayad 'yon," he said after claiming that he had managed to unite various political groups, which he alleged are now aligned with the administration.

Cayetano also maintained that he remains Senate president, despite the recognition by Malacañang and the House of Representatives of Senator Win Gatchalian’s leadership as acting Senate president. | via Malou Escudero/Pilipino Star Ngayon

Generally, the Senate of the Philippines needs a majority of its members to form a quorum.

Since the Senate has 24 senators, that usually means 13 senators are required under Article VI, Section 16(2) of the 1987 Constitution.

However, there is an important exception based on the Supreme Court case Avelino vs. Cuenco. In that ruling, the Court said that if some senators are effectively unavailable or beyond the chamber’s coercive authority (for example detained, abroad, or otherwise unable to attend), they may not be counted in determining the quorum.

In this case - 2 senators are already unavailable: Sen Bato who is currently in hiding and Sen Jinggoy who is in custody.

Nakakahiya na hindi mo ‘to alam 🤦🏻‍♀️

MOTHER HAS SPOKEN

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.

This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…

Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.

Get out of your bubble. Please.

Risa Hontiveros: Hindi ako sensitibo sa puna, sanay ako diyan. Pero ang pinakita po na video ay FAKE NEWS. Delivering a privilege speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news enter in the official records as if it were evidence.

@risahontiveros 👏🏼

Napakulong si Guo at Quiboloy. Ngayon naman nagpapaiyak ng mga sinungaling. Last term na pero palaban hanggang sa huli. That’s MOTHER

Everyone is bias. You can’t separate yourself from sociopolitical realities.

What journalists do is be fair. Here, Cess is being fair by giving the lawyer the time to talk about the case. Now, it’s Cess’ job to call out lies ‘cause the role of journalism is truth seeking. Okay?
