Coming out of private mode to say: this Escudero-led Senate has not only disrespected its co-equal legislative chamber, the House of Representatives; it has also shown disregard for the Constitution and, by extension, the sovereign will of the People.
Remand niyo mukha niyo.
'OUTNUMBERED, BUT NOT OUTFOUGHT ✊🏼'
This was how Senator Risa Hontiveros described her fellow senators in a Facebook post, referring to the five senators who stood firm against the motion to return the articles of impeachment against Vice President Sara Duterte to the House of Representatives.
They were Senate Minority Leader Koko Pimentel, Hontiveros herself, Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian, Sen. Grace Poe and Sen. Nancy Binay.
The motion passed with 18 votes in favor, sending the impeachment case back to the House due to procedural concerns.

Senator Koko Pimentel opposes the motion to dismiss the impeachment complaint.
He also refutes the arguments that impeachment is "hindi naman nakakain" (not that important): "Maraming bagay ang hindi nahahawakan pero mahalaga, tulad ng hustisya." | via Jairo Bolledo/Rappler https://t.co/sH7iLgiQac
Senator Koko now citing the Tagalog version of the Constitution which directly translates “forthwith” to “agad” will just kill all the feigned ignorance of what this word means.
Nakakahiya kayo Chiz Escudero and Alan Cayetano!
What part of FORTHWITH don’t you understand? Let’s use it in a sentence.
Nakakaput*ng i*a ang interpretasyon ng Senate President sa salitang forthwith.
There.
remember what bam aquino said in one interview:
"If I won in this election as senator, i will directly file an bill for anti-dynasty law."
TRUE WORDS WITH TRUE INTENTIONS.
