Ipapaalala ko lang po ang sinabi ni Mayor Vico Sotto:

“Hindi lang sila basta naglalaglagan, gusto nila magulo ang kwento. Gusto nila lituhin tayo. Gusto nila na di na natin malalaman ang totoo.”

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.

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.

[risa hontiveros @risahontiveros]

Hindi po porke’t walang legal background ay wala nang alam sa batas at sa patakaran ng Senado.

Isa pang POV ng viral May 13 "putukan" livestream ni Sampung Libo Alan Peter Cayetano: Mas dramatic 'to mga ka-nets!

Hanep, may taga-ilaw pa talaga sila matapos nilang patayin ang ilaw/kuryente(???).

Ang dami pala nila sa room na para bang may TAPING!

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

Gusto naming lahat na kabilang ng SB-11, o Solid Bloc 11, na maging Senate President si Senator Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian. Napatunayan niya, lalo na sa mga deliberasyon para sa 2026 national budget, na kaya niyang protektahan ang pera ng bayan at matiyak na mapupunta ang pondo kung saan ito higit na kailangan.
Kung prinsipyo ang pag-uusapan, may kakayahan, matatag, at patas si Sen. Win. Sa usaping praktikal, maaari niyang ipag-isaa ng isang mas malawak, reform-oriented na Senado, na mas balanse, mas may pananagutan, at katanggap-tanggap kahit sa ilang miyembro ng kasalukuyang mayorya. Maging ang kasalukuyang Senate President na si Senator Cayetano ay nagsabi na maaari niyang iboto si Senator Win bilang SP.

Isang Abogado NATAWA sa mga pinagsasabi ni DDS Atty. Jimmy Bondoc...
Ayon kay Atty. Jen Reyes: “Wala pong batas. Wala kaming alam na batas… Kung may masa-cite sila, ‘di ba? By all means i-cite nila. Pero walang batas, at walang Supreme Court decisions, or wala sa rules of court na ang isang abogado ng akusado ang pwedeng tumanggap ng warrant of arrest at siya ang magse-serve ng warrant na ito sa kanyang kliyente. Ang role lamang po ng isang abogado, when it comes to the implementation of a warrant of arrest ay kung gustong boluntaryong sumuko ng akusado. Doon, makikipag-coordinate sa awtoridad ang abogado.”

Quote of the day: “Parang walang nangyari”.

My two lady colleagues were speaking from different timelines and contexts.

Sen Risa challenged the Senate leadership to act quickly and appropriately to investigate the chaotic situation in the Senate that led to last week’s shooting incident and not act as if - “parang walang nangyari”.

Sen Pia took offense and turned emotional, calling out the members of the new minority bloc for trivializing the incident as if - “parang walang nangyari”.

Who is fair and who is unfair?

Quote of the day: “Wala man lang nangumusta sa amin!”
Paano mo ba naman kukumustahin ang mga masasayang nagkakainan, nagkakape at naka FB live pa para pagbintangan ang minority bloc na may alam daw sa putukan ng baril sa Senado?

[Jai Cabajar @jaicabajar]

Baka gusto ni Jimmy Bondoc na siya na nga yung mag abot ng warrant kay Bato. Kasi nga sabi niya let me be the one to break it up so you won't have to make excuses.
