[Belle Enriquez @iamsouperwoman]

As someone who has spent three decades advocating for children, I find it deeply troubling that his first instinct is to make younger children criminally liable rather than address the failures that allowed this tragedy to happen in the first place.

Three children are dead.

The question is not why a 10-year-old should be punished.

The question is why minors have access to firearms.

The question is why violence continues to find its way into our schools.

The question is why our education, mental health, social welfare, and law enforcement systems repeatedly fail children before a crime is ever committed.

Real leadership requires more than reacting to headlines.

It requires understanding the problem.

Lowering the age of criminal responsibility may generate applause. It may generate media attention. But there is little evidence that it addresses the root causes of youth violence.

Children who commit serious crimes must be held accountable. But accountability should not become a substitute for prevention.

A senator’s responsibility is not merely to propose the harshest response. It is to propose the most effective one.

I have worked with vulnerable children for most of my adult life. Many have been abused, neglected, abandoned, exploited, or exposed to violence long before they ever entered conflict with the law.

It is easy to appear tough on children.

It is much harder to confront the adult failures that create these tragedies.

Before Senator Padilla asks Congress to treat younger children as criminals, perhaps he should explain why government has failed to protect them as children in the first place.

Text from Avelino v. Cuenco, 83 Phil. 17 (1949), which the new Senate leadership relies on for the position that their 12 Senators are sufficient to constitute a quorum.

[Puretuts @puretuts]

So Sen Allan is trying to do a paper adjournment which is not allowed under Senate Rules. Adjournment should be done in the plenary, in open session.

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

Not accurate. Sen Cayetano is no longer SP. With 12 senators present, a quorum was declared out of the base number of 22 since Sens de la Rosa and Estrada are outside the “coercive power” of the Senate (Avelino v Cuenco. GR No 2821).
Hence, we voted to declare all positions vacant, although we could not yet elect a new SP because we lacked the 13 votes required under the Constitution.

There were athletes there waiting for their naturalization so that they can represent our country internationally. He didn’t even give them the courtesy of freeing up their time.

Left: One day after the senate dinner buffet or "attack"
Right: One week after the senate dinner buffet or "attack" "Takot na takot ako"

Of course her feelings are both valid at this point.

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. ⚖️
