Tulad ng ibang Pilipino, gusto ko ring malaman kung ano ang tunay na nangyari? Paano nangyari? At bakit nangyari?
Bilang senador, na ngayon ay nasa ika-apat na non-consecutive term, nakakagulat at nakakalungkot ang nangyari. Hindi pa ako nakaranas ng ganyang level of lawlessness sa loob ng isang tinuturing na kagalang-galang at ligtas na institusyon ng Pilipinas. Gusto kong magpatuloy na magtrabaho at magsukli sa araw-araw na sakripisyo ng sambayanang Pilipino, at i-deliver ang hinihingi nila sa lahat nating lingkod-bayan: competent, patas, at efficient na serbisyo publiko. Gusto kong bumalik ang Senado sa mga tungkulin nito.
May mga kumakalat na sabi-sabi na na-warningan daw kaming nasa minority na magkakagulo. Hindi totoo ‘yun. Umalis ako nang maaga sa Senado dahil may meeting ako sa labas.
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?

Why would the senators call NBI to secure them first, when the PNP is right outside the Senate building? According to our reporter, the PNP was not even allowed to go in when shots were heard.
maeanne los baños of news5 was literally just a few feet away when the gunshots were fired. NAKAKAKILABOT. please keep all our journalists, their teams, and all civilians inside the senate safe.
