@loren_legarda ito pa... you were part of several instances where there were only 12 of you in the senate present and it constituted a quorum

Noong kailangan niyong pumasok, ayaw niyong pumasok --- ngayong natanggal na, nagpipilit.

Spoiled brats like Sara Duterte!

⚠️ In the case of Sen. Trillanes vs. Pimentel (2008), the SC said all prisoners even if elected can’t hold office.

Thus, detained Senators are not part of counting for quorum.

Jinggoy being in jail means the quorum is not 13 out of 24. It’s 12 out of 23. 👊

Iyak mga DDS! 😂

Another important takeaway here from Sen @iampinglacson: the new majority will ask the president to call for a special session. They will tackle pending business that were pushed aside such as the promotions for Generals.

It is time for the Senate to move forward and get back to work for the Filipino people.

🔥 PLOT TWIST IN THE SENATE!

The Senate finally achieved a quorum today. 👏👏👏

Sen. Chiz Escudero showed up out of nowhere!

Sen. Tito Sotto single-handedly cleared the board by moving to declare all positions vacant. The house of cards has officially collapsed!

The following Senate leadership were elected today:

🔸Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian is the new Senate President Pro Tempore!

🔸Sen. Migz Zubiri is back in power as the new Chair of the Committee on Rules!

🔸Sen. JV Ejercito is Chair of the Committee on Finance.

🔸Sen. Tito Sotto is Chair of the Committee on National Defense.

🔸Sen. Ping Lacson is Chair of the Committee on Public Order and Committee on Accounts.

🔸Sen. Erwin Tulfo is Chair of Committee on Accountability of Public Officers and Investigation, and Committee on Social Welfare and Rural Development.

🔸Sen. Raffy Tulfo as Chair of Committee on Public Services.

🔸Sen. Bam Aquino as Chair of Committee on Basic Education.

🔸Sen. Kiko Pangilinan as Chair of Committee on Agriculture.

🔸Sen. Risa Hontiveros as Chair of the Committee on Health.

🔸Sen. Lito Lapid as Chair of the
Committee on Games and Amusements.

🔸Sen. Chiz Escudero to retain his position as Chair of the Committee on Housing.

🔸Sen. Migz Zubiri as Chair of Committee on Foreign Relations.

🔹They also elected a new Senate Secretary and a new Sargeant-at-Arms.

The rogue majority thought they were running the show, but they just got evicted!

While certain senators are busy protecting their allies from flood facing accountability the real adults in the plenary just completely remodeled the Senate.

The Senate’s 20th Congress officially adjourned sine die.

Here's a thing that not a lot of people are paying attention to. Well-oiled machine ang minority.

Erwin has been positioning himself slowly as the speaker of the minority and it became incredibly obvious today. He's been giving interviews on some shows as recently as yesterday morning sa ANC. But it doesn't stop there.

Notice how the other members are often speaking when the journalists are there sa loob ng Senate halls. They're not shying away from the questions. Ang daming sound byte lalo na si Sen. Migz and Sen. Raffy, sometimes Sen. Bam as well. After that, Sen. Kiko, Sen. Risa, and/or Sen. Sherwin are often the ones to post the statement of the minority immediately.

Recently, even Sen. JV is not shying away from the journalists sa loob ng Senate halls. Sen. Ping is open about his disappointment thru his twitter account while Sen. Tito is their go-to pagdating sa rules and representation of statesmanship as the former SP. And today, EVEN Sen. Lito was not hiding his disappointment by joking out loud what he would do if presiding officer siya.

They may not agree on every little principle they have, but the minority is united.

I wasn't a fan of the Tulfo brothers, they became the external backbone of a minority whose principles just needed to be spoken out loud. That is how you use your specialty for the greater good.

Long live this Solid Block 11!

Nakakahiya yung majority 🤡

[Julian Miguel @iamJulianMiguel]

The Tulfo brand on display, speaks the language of the masses, direct to the point but borderline offensive just enough to trigger a response. And people love this, we get entertained by this not because it’s shallow but because it does MAKE SENSE.

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

Sayang ang ipinapasahod ng taong-bayan kung hindi nagagamit ang oras ng Senado para sa trabaho.

Humigit-kumulang ₱25 milyon ang ginagastos kada araw sa operasyon ng Senado para sa kuryente, utilities, pasahod, at iba pang pangangailangan.

Kapag walang sesyon, walang batas o resolusyong maipapasa. Maaantala rin ang kumpirmasyon ng ating military personnel.

Bukod sa minority senators, may mga bisita, staff, at media rin sa session hall tapos may matatanda pa pero pinatayan din ni Cayetano ng aircon at wifi.

It tells you a lot kung anong klase siyang tao bukod sa pagiging kupal na public official. Nakakahiya para sa institusyon lalo na kung ikaw ang Senate President. Ang kalat.
