Ang force majeure ay natural disaster o calamity o sa legal terminology ‘Acts of God’ na wala na sa kamay ng tao.

Man made disaster naman at hindi force majeure ang warning shot ni Aplasca, ang barilan sa Senado at ang pagtakas ni Bato.

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

In a condescending tone, a colleague, who is a lawyer took issue with Sen Hontiveros’ lack of “legal background”. I have a simple message — it’s the RULES stupid!

Goosebumps!!! Thank you Minority. Araw-araw simula May 11, gusto namin mag walk out sa Senado para sa inyo. Sobra na ang panbabastos at pambabaluktot sa batas ng 13 Hudas Majority. Kaisa niyo kami SOLID BLOC 11! ✊

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.

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 👏🏼

Arrogance of power, like impunity has its limits.

DEFENSOR BACKS ROBREDO-TULFO TANDEM: “MAGANDANG KOMBINASYON KAHIT ANO BASTA KASAMA SI LENI ROBREDO”

Iloilo Rep. Lorenz Defensor welcomed the latest OCTA Research survey showing the hypothetical 2028 tandem of Naga Mayor #Leni #Robredo and Senator #Raffy #Tulfo leading with 44% support.

“Magandang kombinasyon kahit ano basta kasama si Leni Robredo,” Defensor said, emphasizing his confidence in Robredo’s leadership and her capacity to drive meaningful change through good governance.

He also stressed the importance of choosing the right leaders, saying better governance can help prevent political turmoil and national crises.

It’s a temporary setback….we didn’t give up in previous battles when the odds were far greater and yet we prevailed, we certainly will not give up now.

Para sa bayan. Walang bibitiw. Tuloy lang.

Laban!

🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️🙏🙏

Ako po ay natutuwa para sa mga libu-libong pamilya ng mga biktima ng EJKs. Isang malaking hakbang na naman ito para sa pagkamit ng matagal na nating minimithi na hustisya. Ang susunod naman na aantabayan natin ay ang pagsisimula ng trial ni duterte.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

We respect her decision even as we disagree with it and believe that the national interest will be best served if at some future time she changes her mind and heeds the growing clamor of the people for her to lead the nation's fight for genuine service and good governance.

Today, given her rising poll numbers, I believe that Leni is in the best position to build the broadest and strongest unity not just amongst the ranks of the Liberal Party and our allies but to include all other groups and personalities outside our allied forces who are also looking to participating in the 2028 Presidential elections.

As her poll numbers grow, so will the number of politicians and groups of various political colors and civil society/private sector groups throwing their support behind her. A snowballing of support behind her bid is quite possible.

With her at the helm going into 2028 and given her current poll numbers that are much higher now than in the run up to the 2022 Presidential elections, a formidable coalition, far broader and more inclusive than the one we forged in 2022, can be cobbled together and lead us to victory in 2028.

Now more than ever, having witnessed the largest corruption scandal in Philippine history, our people are crying out for good governance, and public accountability. Now more than ever, all those who believe in meaningful change and honesty and integrity in our public institutions must come together, sacrifice our time and effort for the sake of a better future for our children.

I hope I am wrong but Leni's refusal to run, may create a leadership vacuum that I am afraid cannot be adequately filled by other contenders, this in turn could lead to disunity amongst our ranks and the splintering of not just our forces but of all potential allies outside our ranks. The net effect willl be the fielding of various political parties and groups of their respective Presidential bets, further weakening our chances and delivering victory to our adversaries.

We must forge the broadest unity possible for the cause of good governance and win this for our people and work together for a better future for our children.

Para sa bayan. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏❤️❤️

@laiteranidaddy Not a fan of her noon pa. During the burial of Cory, she was with the Aquinos that time She does all the talking. I like Korina’s wit & style. Sayang lang at wla na sya sa ABS wherein mas visible sana sya.

Thanks for remembering me, Vice Ganda! Dami kong tawa dito. 🤣

Yes! It’s my turn to return and keep serving the Filipino people. Babawi ako sa ipinagkait na halos pitong taon sa aking buhay—ng higit pang paglilingkod sa ating mga kababayan. 💛
