[Mike Carolla @SJTimes13]

feels like a good day to say Better Call Saul is kinda the greatest show ever.

[Just @justinmaniluh]

If this is the threshold, then the honorable Supreme Court should also suspend the lawyer who said this:

“Putangina ninyong lahat! Martin Romualdez, Liza Marcos, Bongbong Marcos”

That same lawyer also threatened the lives of the names above. Yes, Sara Zimmerman Duterte!

I just want to be a useful senator.

- Sen. Juan Flavier

Sana goal ito ng lahat. Magkaron ng silbi sa Pilipinas. Hindi sa mga sarili lamang sa mga duterte.

[Addie Blue @addiblu]

Love this thread! WinRi is for Risa's mass appeal, kung hindi maayos si Win, then don't vote for him. Hindi naman sila buy one take one 😭

[Avaia @violarexdev]

and in the messy, unforgiving world we live in, failing to navigate it costs votes, and ultimately, the chance to make a real difference.

[Avaia @violarexdev]

we can be principled, but also pragmatic. we can hold fast to what is right while speaking in ways people can understand, feel, and trust. ignoring this is not foolish… it is failing to navigate the reality of the world as it is.

Kailan ba maiintindihan ng mga purista na hindi na black and white ang pulitika sa Pilipinas, lalo na sa pamamayagpag ng mga Marcos at Duterte?

Sinubukan na natin yung radikal na pagmamahal at otso diretso na approach pero natalo tayo sa eleksyon.

Magsisimula lang ang pagbabago kung mananalo yung matitinong kandidato. Popularity contest ang eleksyon sa Pilipinas— hindi natin mababago ang utak ng mga tao overnyt pero kailangan natin ng resulta agad sa 2028.

Hayaan niyong laruin din nila ang pulitika. 70 million ang botante sa Pilipinas na kailangan ligawan.

Loren Legarda is lying through her teeth and gaslighting everyone.

The New Majority-12 did NOT elect a Senate President.

They declared all positions vacant with a quorum of 12 legally backed up by the Senate Rules, the Constitution, SC jurisprudence, and Senate practice.

Why should Legarda know this?

It’s because in May 2015 when three (3) of their fellow Senators were arrested for plunder and she was abroad on an official trip, they used a quorum of 12 out of 17 available Senators to conduct business.

Guess who was one of the Senators in 2015?

Yep, Loren Legarda. Along with Alan Peter Cayetano and Pia Cayetano. Resibo below. 👇

And not one of them objected or claimed the session was unconstitutional. Not one of them filed a case before the Supreme Court.

You are now in estoppel, Senator Loren.

So no, we won’t be gaslighted. 👊

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.”

"These are people who are really capable of lying without batting an eyelash."

@sotto_tito she was there up front when it happened too

[Tito Sotto @sotto_tito]

When does 13 become 12? It’s when 24 becomes 22!

[marv @mvn_dn]

Another fun fact:

That was senate session 69 of the 16th congress.

Today’s session is ALSO # 69 of the 20th congress.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.

This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…

Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.

Get out of your bubble. Please.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

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.

[Diyeydee Indacave @jadysalonga]

Not a fan of TitoSen's politics, especially how we did almost derail the passage of RH Bill. I'm sure there will come a day that he'd be again the villain.

In the last elections, I did not cast a vote for him BUT I welcomed his comeback because he's an institutionalist.

[ALTStarMagic 💫 @AltStarMagic]

“Walang quorum. Subukan nila”

Hindi na lang ikaw ang lumalaban sa minority, Senator Risa 🥹🫶

[Neneng H @BINI_NenengH]

Screenshot ka pa, 'di mo naman binasa. Kundi ka ba naman isa't kalahating utak munggo. 2020 'yan, PANDEMIC, malamang teleconference gagawin nila. Also, 'di naman pinayagan kahit nag-file ng reso sina Sen. Lacson at Drilon kaya tama na kaka-reply mo niyan, 'di ka pa ba quota? 🤮
