Marcoleta calling journalists “paid hacks” for coverage that doesn’t follow his preferred narrative is straight out of the Duterte playbook. The truth doesn’t owe you a favorable angle. The Senate reporters showed up to work. Eh ‘yong bloc mo? Absent kasi may pinoprotektahan 🙄

[tenchi  @tenchi_MNL]

Ang mga newscasters / journalists na dapat mag-cover sa Impeachment Trial ni Sara Duterte:

1. Ces Drilon
2. Karmina Constantino
3. Regina Lay

These three women don't take b*llsh1t when they see one.

@News5PH Are we even surprised? Funny thing is, the locals really did follow the “Mayor”. I’m pretty sure there’s a law/policy that has been violated, charge Baste with that.

[AlabNgPuso🔥🇵🇭 @nolsricafort]

@News5PH Attacking the DENR is a direct affront to the OP @bongbongmarcos. Mayor Baste Duterte actions are beginning to resemble a seditious act. If such actions were to escalate into serious threats to public health issues, PBBM should declare martial law in Davao City. 🤞✍🤝

@News5PH hindi utak ng matinong mayor ito. dapat kahihiyan nya bilang punong lungsod at nireresolba sa lebel ng gobyerno. utusan mo ba naman ang mamamayan ng mali kasi punong lungsod sya. ndi dapat ganyan ang ugali ng mayor!

@inquirerdotnet What duty is he talking about? Cayetano failed to keep Senate sessions running. Instead, he led a boycott that abandoned his responsibility and held the entire chamber hostage from serving the people.

[kepeshaie @twit2twit80]

@kikopangilinan Kung iisipin mo they are not doing this not for the entire Filipino people but for only one family - THE DUTERTE! Nakakasuka! At sasabihin nila esp Robin"bobo" Padilla di daw sya traydor! Ano tawag dun? Protecting a criminal at himud pwet para sa isang pangalan lang!

⚠️ Dahil ayaw dumating ng Du-13 Majority, nasa alanganin at baka hindi mapasa:

(1) Impt. bills including Magna Carta for Brgy. Health Workers ni Sen. Risa

(2) Citizenship bills nina Bennie Boatwright and Matthew Ramos, at

(3) Promotion ng mga Generals.

Shame on you APC! 🤮

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.

[WETWATER 💦 (Shimenet Pumping Station) @wateralwayswet]

Punyeta, umamin na si Respicio. Para talaga sa mga pugante at corrupt na Tsinators ang panukala ni Marcoleta para iligtas ang magnanakaw na si Sara Duterte.

Basta DDS matik na iyan Dutae Double Standard.

[Skarro @akaJasonWho]

@bncdotph No. Ako nga, araw-araw kailangan pumasok, eh maliit naman sweldo. Yan, anlalaki ng sweldo, hindi buong taon pumapasok, ngayon, papayagan pa sa remote. Ano ang chances na nasa zoom call, pero iba naglalaro o nanonood lang ng ibang palabas? Tigilan nyo yan!

[Nico Quejano @nicoquejano]

Yeah. Stop putting lawyers in technical/expertise positions.

Deport.
Aside from disrespecting the philippine flag, they are violating filipinos’ right to free expression.

🚨 Dear Senator Camille Villar, hindi po ba kayo mag co-conduct ng hearing in aid of legislation...?

...ukol sa 600+ narra and acacia trees na pinutol at puputulin pa sa Quirino Avenue, Manila City?

Chairperson kayo ng Committee on Environment. Hawak nyo po ang beat nuon pa. 🪾

[Jai Cabajar @jaicabajar]

DDS canceling Ces Drilon instead of getting a much better representative than Jimmy Bondoc is peak clownery. Truth will not adjust to your laughable fantasies.
