Nag-walkout sa plenaryo ng senado ang ilang miyembro ng minorya.
Sabi ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo, binobola na lang sila sa planong amyenda sa rules ng senado. @ABSCBNNews
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.

Tangina bumabango yung imahe ng Tulfo brothers sa akin dahil sa lecheng majority na ito!!!

FAMILY PICTURE WITH STELL??? WHEN I SAY FAMILY PICTURE… IMMEDIATE FAMILY… LIKE…. WHATTT???? SO HINDI PARIN BA SILA MAG JOWA SA PART NA YAN????? SABIHIN NIYO SAKING WALA LANGGG????
I'll be forever grateful to have you as my partner, your family and relatives na supportive sa atin and never ko naramdaman na ibang tao ako since day 1. I love you not just you but also your family. Worth it yung pag ruined natin ng 16yrs of friendship. bawal na maghiwalay huh
I have not been with them for more than a decade, pero nung bumalik ako parang hindi ako nawala. Same feeling every time I'm with her family and relatives but now mag partner na tayo mas naging masaya.
Hindi kayo pinalaki na uhaw sa numbers? Pero nung 2024, halos gawing sukatan ang streams para i-push yung ended SB19? Kung may respeto lang sana sa tinawag na trailblazers ni Direk, hindi naman kailangang gustuhin sila or magbigay ng full support. Respeto lang sana. Wala e🫥
