The Integrated Bar of the Philippines says the Senate session last June 3, 2026, when a quorum of 12 was constituted, is lawful and valid.

[Chel Diokno @ChelDiokno]

Bakit tayo nag-NO sa Anti-Political Dynasty Bill? Dahil ang totoo, ito ay isang Pro-Dynasty Bill.

Under this measure, one clan can hold positions across multiple levels of government. Therefore, concentration of power still remains in the hands of a few families. Kung sila ang mga nakaupo sa taas, at sila rin ang mga nakaupo sa baba,
pwede pa ring magkampihan, magtulungan, at mag-protektahan.

Pwede pa ring magbaba ng kontrata at proyekto ang isang Senador at isang Congressman para sa kapatid nilang Governor. Pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Governor ang kapitolyo para harangin at ipitin ang kalaban ng mga anak niyang tumatakbong Mayor sa magkatabing siyudad. At pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Pangulo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno para pagtakpan ang mga anomalya ng pinsan niyang Kongresista.

Hindi rin sakop ng panukala ang party-list. Kaya maaari pa ring maging District Representative si mister, habang si misis naman ay nakaupo sa tabi niya bilang Party-list Representative.

Ang tanong: Nasaan ang pagbabago? Hindi nito winawakasan ang paghahari ng mga dinastiya, kundi ginawa pa itong legal at bahagi ng sistema.

[JRDC @JRDCastillo30]

Walang senate secretary. Walang stenographers. Walang legislative staff from the Blue Ribbon Committee. No one is taking the minutes of the so-called hearing. This will not be on the official records of the Senate. Meaning, it’s not legal.

Salamat may kakampi na ngayon si Senator Risa Hontiveros. Dati, sa mga hearing niya tungkol kay Quiboloy, POGO, Fake Filipino Citizenship, nag-iisa siya, minsan kasama si Sen. Win o Sen Koko. Naisip ko nga noon: nakapagbabanyo pa ba siya? Kumain na kaya siya?

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties!

I vote NO to House Bill No. 8389 or the “Anti-Political Dynasty Act.”

HB 8389 is not a true or genuine anti-dynasty law, but rather a dynasty legitimization act.

First: The bill has no succession ban. A governor can be succeeded by a spouse, who can be succeeded by a child, who can be succeeded by a sibling – indefinitely, legally, under this bill. 

Second: The bill permits a governor, a mayor, and a Representative from the same family governing the same province simultaneously, as it only prohibits relatives from holding office within the same level of government, not within the same territory. 

Third: The bill permits multiple congressional districts controlled by one family within the same province. Three adjacent districts, three relatives, all voting for the same party line: legal. Exactly as it operates today. Nothing changes.

Fourth: The bill neither covers party-list representatives as protected positions nor references incumbents. Therefore, a senator's son or daughter can be nominated and serve as a party-list representative – perfectly legal under this bill

Fifth: The bill limits the prohibition to relatives within the second degree of consanguinity or affinity, covering spouses, parents, children, and siblings. However, this second-degree prohibition excludes broader kinship networks, such as grandparents, first cousins, uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews, through which dynastic power is often exercised. Limiting the prohibition to only the second degree narrows the reach of the law and allows extended family networks, which remain close-knit in Philippine culture, to continue operating within the same political sphere.

Sixth: The bill does not address, hence, permits substitution, caretaker designation, and every indirect route to office. The prohibition under this bill covers only direct candidacy, not the back doors.

The Filipino people have been waiting for this law since 1987. Tatlumpu't siyam na taon. 

We can do better than this. We can pass a law worthy of the wait. A law the framers of the 1987 Constitution would recognize as the fulfillment of their mandate, not a betrayal of it.

I vote NO to HB 8389, not because I oppose anti-dynasty legislation. I vote NO precisely because I support it. I refuse to support a law that effectively institutionalizes political dynasties.

The Filipino people deserve better. The Constitution demands better. We can do better.

Loren Legarda is lying through her teeth and gaslighting everyone.

The New Majority-12 did NOT elect a Senate President.

They declared all positions vacant with a quorum of 12 legally backed up by the Senate Rules, the Constitution, SC jurisprudence, and Senate practice.

Why should Legarda know this?

It’s because in May 2015 when three (3) of their fellow Senators were arrested for plunder and she was abroad on an official trip, they used a quorum of 12 out of 17 available Senators to conduct business.

Guess who was one of the Senators in 2015?

Yep, Loren Legarda. Along with Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano. Resibo below. 👇

And not one of them objected or claimed the session was unconstitutional. Not one of them filed a case before the Supreme Court.

You are now in estoppel, Senator Loren.

So no, we won’t be gaslighted. 👊

[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.

[Julian Miguel @iamJulianMiguel]

Remember all those Senators who failed to go to work today because they accompanied a person who got arrested for PLUNDER not once but THRICE in 25 years.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

SOLID BLOC 11: THIS IS NOT SENATE INDEPENDENCE BUT A BOYCOTT OF DUTY

The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.

They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.

Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.

Ang Senado ay hindi pag-aari ng iisang may hawak ng gavel. Institusyon ito ng taumbayan at napakadaming mahalagang panukala ang nabibinbin dahil sa drama ng mayorya.

Important measures were left hanging because of the majority’s boycott, including the Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers, the Anti-Hospital Detention Bill, the confirmation of generals before the Commission on Appointments and the bills granting Philippine citizenship to Bennie Boatwright III and Matthew James Ramos.

Let us call this for what it is: the claim that this is about Senate independence is false, because what happened today was about the rule of law, public accountability and a lawful process before the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan that no senator, no bloc and no presiding officer controls.

This is a boycott because of the arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, and the public should not be asked to believe another convenient line from a leadership that has repeatedly twisted the truth.

Today was a step toward accountability in a controversy that the public has long demanded action on, and after years of people asking why nothing was happening in flood control investigations, it is unacceptable to suddenly call the rule of law an attack on the Senate.

Is Senate President Alan Cayetano now questioning the rule of law?

Sa totoo lang, ang gusto nila ay kampihan, hindi prinsipyo. Gusto nila sumama kami sa boycott, patahimikin ang Senado at gamitin ang minority para manatili ang Senate President sa puwesto habang iniiwasan ang tunay na test of numbers sa floor.

This may be the first time in decades that Senate work stopped because the presiding officer himself refused to work, because even during typhoons and the height of the pandemic, work was suspended only because of necessity or because systems still had to be set up, not because the leadership chose a boycott of duty.

The public has every right to ask whether SP Cayetano is repeating what he did in the House of Representatives, when questions were raised about a leader refusing to step aside, refusing to convene and holding up proceedings when the numbers were no longer certain.

The question now is just as serious: will they do this again for the next two session days, and will they keep the Senate idle simply to avoid facing the numbers on the floor?

The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.

And lastly, we call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.

⚠️ Guys, wag kayo maniwala kay Jinggoy sa promise nya na hindi sya sesweldo habang naka kulong.

Una, hindi natin utang na loob sa kanya yun.

Ikalawa, automatic no pay yan once he is suspended by the Sandiganbayan under RA 3019 and RA 7080.

So no choice talaga.

No sweldo! 😂

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

Any Senator accused of graft, bribery, or plunder “shall be suspended” according to R.A. 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act) and R.A. 7080 (Anti-Plunder Law).

The Sandiganbayan, Second or Fifth Division, should suspend Jinggoy Estrada asap TODAY! 👊
