LIFE IS UNFAIR

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

The safety, security, and welfare of Senate personnel remain our top priority, following reports of possible threats within and around the Senate premises.

We have directed all Senate Secretariat and Senate Proper offices to adopt a work-from-home arrangement and implement heightened security measures in response to ongoing security concerns affecting the Senate complex from June 10 to 11.

Hindi tayo puwedeng maging kampante. Kung may intelligence information tungkol sa banta, dapat itong seryosohin. Lahat ng banta ay seseryosohin natin.

These measures are precautionary and intended to preserve peace and order amid reports from the National Bureau of Investigation regarding a credible threat to the Senate.

We have also directed the Office of the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms to immediately enhance security protocols. This includes continuous security sweeps, increased surveillance, stricter screening procedures, and other measures to safeguard Senators, Senate officials, and staff.

A temporary no-visitor policy will likewise be enforced to ensure the safety of all personnel within the Senate complex.

We remain committed to protecting our employees’ welfare, upholding professional integrity, and ensuring that no personnel acting in good faith will be subjected to intimidation, retaliation, or unwarranted administrative action.

Ang trabaho para sa bansa ay magpapatuloy — ligtas, maayos, at naaayon sa batas.

Some of the notable walkouts in Philippine history:

1971 - Diliman Commune
1986 - COMELEC Tabulators at PICC (leading to EDSA 1)
2001 - House Prosecutors during Estrada impeachment (leading to EDSA 2)
2026 -Senate Minority bloc on changing the Senate Rules

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.

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

Right decision.

Nakakalungkot. That’s what happens when concern and opinion don’t align with them—gusto agad patahimikin. Nasanay na ako. Oo, Bisaya ko, pero Pilipino rin akong may karapatang magsalita at magpahayag ng saloobin. Masakit magbayad ng buwis tapos ganito ang nakikita natin. Hindi po tayo ang magkakalaban. Pare-pareho lang tayong mamamayan. Wala tayong kapangyarihang tulad nila, kaya sana dili mu mangaway oi. Murag mga bata naman ning uban ba. Kung unsa imong ganahan edi okay. Ako mao man ni ako ganahan. Pasagdii.

Bihira ako humirit ng Latin maxim, pero eto parang bagay sa panahon:

Fatetur facinus qui judicium fugit.

He who escapes judgment confesses his guilt.

Ibig sabihin, kung pumuslit ka nang alas-dos ng madaling araw, hindi siguro dahil inosente ka. ⚖️

[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?
