The line between a legitimate legislative inquiry and a desperate political stunt has officially been crossed.

Kahit ni-reschedule ni bagong Blue Ribbon Chair Erwin Tulfo ang flood control hearing sa June 8, in-insist pa rin ng kampo ni Alan Peter Cayetano ang sarili nilang hearing today.

Walang Committee Secretariat, walang official na stenographers, at zero footprint sa Senate records. Sila at mga “guests” lang din nila ang nag-uusap-usap.

🚨JUST IN: RETURNING TO THEIR RESPECTIVE COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIPS:

• Sen. Risa Hontiveros — Health
• Sen. Kiko Pangilinan — Agriculture
• Sen. Bam Aquino — Basic Education

THANK YOU, LORD! 💚💖

Here's a thing that not a lot of people are paying attention to. Well-oiled machine ang minority.

Erwin has been positioning himself slowly as the speaker of the minority and it became incredibly obvious today. He's been giving interviews on some shows as recently as yesterday morning sa ANC. But it doesn't stop there.

Notice how the other members are often speaking when the journalists are there sa loob ng Senate halls. They're not shying away from the questions. Ang daming sound byte lalo na si Sen. Migz and Sen. Raffy, sometimes Sen. Bam as well. After that, Sen. Kiko, Sen. Risa, and/or Sen. Sherwin are often the ones to post the statement of the minority immediately.

Recently, even Sen. JV is not shying away from the journalists sa loob ng Senate halls. Sen. Ping is open about his disappointment thru his twitter account while Sen. Tito is their go-to pagdating sa rules and representation of statesmanship as the former SP. And today, EVEN Sen. Lito was not hiding his disappointment by joking out loud what he would do if presiding officer siya.

They may not agree on every little principle they have, but the minority is united.

I wasn't a fan of the Tulfo brothers, they became the external backbone of a minority whose principles just needed to be spoken out loud. That is how you use your specialty for the greater good.

Long live this Solid Block 11!

Anim na buwan na hindi nagtrabaho habang sumisweldo. Tapos ngayon naman gustong mag-fulltime na work from home?

Hiyang-hiya naman ang mga minimum wage earners sa Pilipinas sa’yo, Sen!

Taumbayan ang nagpapa-sweldo sainyo. Kahit konting kahihiyan man lang sana.

Itigil natin tong ganitong purist mindset. Acknowledging the correct positions made by trapo minority senators is not tantamount to glazing them. Sa panahon ngayon, you need more allies than enemies. Recognizing that stops this country from sinking further to the pits.

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

How convenient it is for some people to use me or what I went through as an example whenever it serves their purpose or agenda. Kahit fake news, kahit ibang-iba ang totoong nangyari at naging sitwasyon ko noon, ipipilit pa rin para lang umakma sa naratibo nila.

Nung una, ang sinabi, hindi raw ako nagpa-aresto sa Senate premises. Maliwanag na kasinungalingan yan dahil sa Senado ako mapayapang humarap at nagpa-aresto sa mga awtoridad. Hindi ako nagpakanlong sa Senado, hindi ako nagdulot ng gulo, hindi ako tumakas, at lalong hindi ko inilagay sa peligro ang buhay ng maraming tao.

Now, they cite the resolutions filed by my fellow Senators during my unjust incarceration to allow me to participate in committee hearings and plenary deliberations via teleconferencing. Those were never approved. Kahit nga may COVID-19 pandemic noon kung kailan na-amend na ang rules to allow teleconferencing, di pa rin ako pinayagan. More importantly, no railroading or shortcuts to amend the Senate rules were resorted to in order to accommodate that request which, I repeat, was never granted. Malinaw yan kaya tigil-tigilan nila ang pagkukumpara.

Mahiya at kilabutan naman ang mga nagsasabing magkapareho lang ang pinagdaanan ko sa sinuman na gusto nilang pagbigyan ngayon.

“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.

Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?

Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”

The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!

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.

Siargao being infested with zionists, hundreds of trees being cut down on manila, government is still fucking useless, heat is growing worse while there's a literal typhoon and yes wala pa ring nananagot sa flood control issue, ai being used for everything, oh okay.

[The Trainwrecker @malebag1999]

Ang tanong, saan napunta ang lahat ng mga narra trees na na-cut? Sino ang kumuha? Binenta ba o ginamit sa paggawa ng mga highly-priced furniture? Sino ang nakinabang?

Tanungin si mayor at seguradong alam niya yan.
