Atty. Ligutan propounded the same line of questioning that defense counsel Atty. Vinluan had used earlier only for Atty. Vinluan to object.

Atty. Ligutans response — “The sauce for the goose must be the sauce for the gander.”

HAHA. Checkmate. 😎

TODAY, WE CHEER FOR THE MINORITY 🥹🫶

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!

What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.

Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.

Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.

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.

This #kmjs interview with Bato is very illuminating

- Bato admits that he only came to the Senate for the vote to change leadership
- Bato said he wouldn't have come if he knew for sure there was a warrant
- Alan Cayetano convinced him to come, Alan sent a vehicle to pick him up

🚨 Sabi ni tweety bird, sobrang affected ang mga Senators sa backlash.

Lalo na si Sen. Loren Legarda, whose alma matters Assumption Student Council and UP have disowned her.

Mam, you can still be the Senator we all remember crying against Erap’s impeachment.

The removal of the portrait of Senator Loren Legarda from the walls of the Empowered Women in Assumption College.

Right decision.

More on the Senate incident last night: He who has the MEANS, OPPORTUNITY and MOTIVE is the most probable suspect.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Someone has to be made accountable for Bato’s escape.

No less than the DILG Secretary and PNP Chief entered the senate building last night to secure the senators.

The public was assured last night Bato was in the “5th foor, in his room, resting”. Bato’s lawyer showed a video last night of Bato supposedly in the senate.

The senate building should’ve been secured last night - no one in, no one out.

We need answers. How did Bato escape? Who helped him?

The gold belongs to Taft once again. Here are my thoughts in the 2-game finals series of DLSU vs. NU WVT gold medal showdown.

DLSU didn’t beat NU with flashy volleyball. They beat them with clean, simple, HIGH-IQ volleyball.

PERFECTION ACHIEVED 🏆🏹

After falling short of the feat in Season 76, the DLSU Lady Spikers finally complete an elusive season sweep with a spotless 16-0 championship run in UAAP Season 88 women’s volleyball.

🚨 Sara Duterte’s bank account was flagged by a covered transaction report as early as 2005 where there was an inflow of ₱540,000.

In 2006, she got ₱185 Million. 🙀

Ang problema?

She wasn’t even a Vice-Mayor until 2007. So corrupt na siya before politics? 😂
