last week, the minority bloc walked out of session to object to a proposal for remote voting, which would only benefit senators evading or facing arrest.
today, the majority bloc is not in the plenary session to support jinggoy, who is facing plunder charges for the third time.
the contrast is very telling. 🤷♀️

Excuse me, Sen. Robin. Huwag nyo nga akong gamitin sa baluktot nyong naratibo. Acquitted na ako sa hinarap kong mga gawa-gawang kaso. Napakalayo ng sitwasyon ko sa pinasakay mong fugitive from justice na si Sen. Bato.
Saka neutralizing drug lords talaga? Sabihin nya yan sa pamilya ng libo-libong biktima ng EJK. Ipaliwanag nya yan sa ICC.
Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.
Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.
Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.
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.
WHEN SURVIVAL IS PUNISHED AND POWER IS SHELTERED
An elderly harmonica busker was jailed for a week after being arrested under an anti-mendicancy ordinance, saying he was only trying to earn money to feed his grandchild. He has since been released.
At the same time, Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa has faced scrutiny after taking refuge and later leaving the Senate amid an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, raising renewed questions on how the justice system treats the poor versus the powerful.

SUPALPAL SI ALAN CAYETANO
🚨 Sec. Jonvic Remulla: “There’s a reason why Trillanes lost three (3) elections in a row. Nauuna yabang kaysa mag-isip.”
⚠️ Yung yabang ni Trillanes, napa aresto at napakulong si Duterte sa ICC.
Ikaw Sec. Jonvic nasa harap mo na si Bato, pinatakas mo pa! 👊

Sen. @loren_legarda, u are indeed a POLITICAL PROSTITUTE.
Nakakahiya at nakakadiri ka. Matatapos ang Political career mo na wala kang iniwang DIGNIDAD at PRINSIPYO sa bansang Pilipinas.
Maaalala ka namin na isa kang mas MABAHO pa sa BASURA.
Removing Senator Kiko and Sen Bam from the chairperson of Agriculture and Education was the biggest bad decision ever made by the senate, fucked PH government !!!!
One week na kinulong ang isang matanda dahil lang nagtatrabaho siya para sa kanyang apo.
Samantalang si Bato, na may kaso sa ICC, prinotektahan pa sa Senado.
Ngayon nyo sabihin na patas ang batas sa Pilipinas.
⚠️ Kung walang Senate coup bukas, Risa Hontiveros’ Health Committee goes to Bong Go.
Bam Aquino’s Education Committee goes to Robin Padilla.
Kiko Pangilinan’s Agriculture Committee goes to Imee Marcos.
Libre barena, butas ang batas.
Que horror! 🙀
