HOW AND WHY SENATOR CHIZ WAS OUSTED AS SENATE PRESIDENT

Now it can be told.

Marcoleta and many DDS Senators were clueless about the ouster of Chiz Escudero.

They heard rumblings over the weekend but the minority led by Tito Sotto did not have the numbers yet.

Sotto only secured 13 or more votes today, around mid morning of September 8.

Note that Risa Hontiveros asked permission to leave from Marcoleta and left the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing around 9:30am.

She was called into an emergency caucus by the minority where it was revealed that they had secured the votes.

Sotto and the minority then told Chiz Escudero that they had the numbers to oust him.

In fairness to Chiz, he agreed to a smooth transition (that’s why wala na naging botohan during the ouster - no other candidate was nominated and no objection was raised).

While all of this was going on, Marcoleta was unaware. Todo sya mag tanong and mag chair ng Blue Ribbon NOT because he knew he would be replaced and ousted as well.

Todo lang sya mag tanong kasi bibo kid siya and clueless sa nangyayaring coup de tat sa labas ng Blue Ribbon hearing.

What were the factors that led to the ouster of Chiz? There are many factors but let me choose and spell out THREE MAJOR FACTORS.

1. Chiz’ connections to top flood control contractor Lawrence Lubiano tarnished the image of the Senate Presidency and the Senate.

The other Senators were finding it difficult to defend the reputation of the Senate if the leader himself was questionable.

Tapos may conflict of interest pa - how can you investigate a fellow Senator, much less a Senate President.

2. Aside from the legitimate issue of Chiz’ contractor connections, the other major sin he committed and continued committing was his insistence on not holding caucuses with the majority or Senators.

He said so himself way back when the Senate was convened as an impeachment court - he would prefer the debates out in the open.

But this was his demise.

Majority of Senators saw how not holding small caucuses between Senators would lead to the public seeing the clashing and confusing dynamics of Senators.

This was very evident when Joel Villanueva aka Boy Dila would make sulsol or bulong to Bato or Imee Marcos about what motion to raise or what to do.

If there were more frequent caucuse, pwede ma plantsa at mapag usapan lahat yan behind camera.

Another evidence of why no caucuses were bad?

Marcoleta as DDS Senator blindsided numerous Senators from what he was going to explode in today’s hearing - na may affidavit and revelations ang mga Discaya.

Something as big as that should be given FYI to other Senators - kahit hindi complete detail kahit sabihin lang oh sa Monday may pasabog mga Discaya.

This will empower other Senators to decide if they will attend the hearing or not and prepare in advance.

Pero wala, solo flight si Marcoleta at gusto nya sya lang bida.

The Senators who switched from Chiz to Sotto saw and compared how Sotto led the minority - they had consistent caucuses AT LEAST once a week.

This allowed the minority to be on the same page or disagree within themselves but iron out disagreements in a way where they can see where each other is coming from without all the emotions of spontaneously learning about it during a hearing.

This also allowed the minority to plan their moves as a group if they are all on the same page - tingnan nyo nung nag convene as impeachment court ang Senate, sobrang synchronized ng galaw and motions ng minority led by Sotto.

So ang layo - si Chiz may caucus lang once a year si Sotto may caucus once a week.

3. The third factor is not really about Chiz anymore but about Marcoleta.

Because the choice to make Marcoleta was mostly Chiz’ strategic calculus and trade off, how Marcoleta performed as Chair of the Blue Ribbon Committee factored in heavily in the decision to oust Chiz (so that they could also oust Marcoleta).

For the first time, hindi ako makabuo ng mensahe! Kanina pa ako nag-aattempt. Ikaw 'yun… (Lord). Kayo 'yun!

Tumayo lang ako, bantulot sa simula. Walang malinaw na stratehiya. Walang makinarya. Walang pera. Pero maraming istorya! Nabuo sa kahabaan ng sanga-sangang daan na hindi mo alam kung ano ang patutunguhan.

Sa gitna ng mataong palengke na may kanya-kanyang teleserye. Sa iba't ibang tanggapan kung saan minsan, hindi mo alam kung ikaw ay may lulugaran.

Ako lang at si Roel sa simula—hanggang naki-halo na ang madla! Ilang beses nadapa, bumangon, at nanumpa: makikinig, mag-aaral, hindi iindahin ang sugat. Ibabangon at ipaglalaban… Babantayan ang kaban ng bayan!

Sa mga nag-ambag, sa lahat ng tumulong, sa lahat ng naniwala, sa lahat ng nagdasal, sa lahat ng umasa… Maraming salamat!

[Danilo "Ka Daning" Ramos @kadaningramos]

Mga kababayan, maraming salamat sa inyong suporta sa iba't ibang kaparaanan, milyon-milyon na bumoto sa akin (54) at Makabayang Koalisyon. Umasa po kayo, patuloy kaming kikilos, kasama kayo, para sa kagalingan-interes ng taumbayan. 1/2
