Hindi impressive ang legal background kung ginagamit lang sa pangmamaliit. Mas nakakabahala ang may alam sa batas pero pinipiling baluktutin ito.

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.

CHARTER CHANGE ❌
CHARACTER CHANGE ✅

Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III strongly denied that he is advocating for Charter change, clarifying that merely listening to proposals during a meeting does not mean he supports them.

“Sana tinanong nila yung source nila [kung] pumayag ba ako,” Sotto said.

“Ang mas gusto ko, cha-cha. Not Charter change, ang kailangan natin… Character change.” | 📸: Senate

‘ANG SENADO AY HINDI DAPAT MAGING KANLUNGAN NG ABSENTEEISM AT PAGTATAKIPAN’

READ: Mayors Vico Sotto, Joy Belmonte, and Benjamin Magalong, along with other local chief executives of the group Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), issued a statement on the recent developments in the Senate involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.

“Hindi dapat pinoprotektahan ang isang halal na opisyal na umiiwas sa kanyang mga responsibilidad habang patuloy na tumatanggap ng sahod mula sa taumbayan,” it reads. | 📸: M4GG/Facebook

Karen: Are you willing, that if the ICC issues warrants on five-, six Filipinos, lahat 'yon ipadala sa ICC?

Sen. Kiko: Para managot dun sa libu-libong pinatay?Yes.

MY SENATOR, KIKO PANGILINAN, YOU DID NOT STUTTER

[Elijah Canlas @elijahcanlas_]

Being apolitical is not the flex you think it is. That’s why I urge everyone — especially the youth to REGISTER TO VOTE.

Makapangyarihan ang bawat isa. Maliban sa pagiging karapatan, ito rin ay ating responsibilidad.

Hanggang May 18 nalang! Para sa pagbabagong ating hangad.

Nakunan sa body-worn cameras ng NBI ang insidente nang paputukan sila habang nasa gusali ng GSIS noong Miyerkules.

Ayon sa isang ahente, unang nagpaputok si Sgt-at-Arms Mao Aplasca kaya siya ay gumanti ng putok. @ABSCBNNews

“ITAGO NYO CCTV!”

Good job mga ungas!

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Watch @ZyannAmbrosio’s exclusive report. Here, NBI agents were at the GSIS side.

In our interview with OSAA Head Gen Aplasca, he claims there were NBI agents who were at the “edge of senate property” which led them to firing warning shots leading to an exchange.

The CCTV footage will help reveal the truth.

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?

‘HINDI UUBRA ANG PAMBUBULLY AT PASIGA-SIGA SA AKIN’

Senator Kiko Pangilinan fights back after Senator Robin Padilla threatened to file an ethics complaint against him for shouting during their argument in Tuesday’s session.

“Yung pagtataas ng boses sa mainit na debate ay hindi man kagustuhan ay hindi naiiwasan at malimit na nangyayari sa plenaryo… Mas may basehang kasuhan yang pasiga-siga, pambabastos, at ang kawalan ng proper decorum sa kapwa senador sa Senado,” Pangilinan said.

Earlier, Padilla demanded that Pangilinan apologize on the Senate floor or face an ethics complaint | @eimorpsantos

When states drafted and approved the Rome Statute, they explicitly included a provision that official capacity and immunities that come with it are irrelevant when it comes to criminal responsibility before the International Criminal Court.
