Ang nangyari ngayon ay malinaw na pag-abandona sa tungkulin, pagpapabaya sa responsibilidad, at tahasang pagsasawalang-bahala sa mga alituntunin ng institusyong ito.
Dapat magbitiw si Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano. Ipinakita niyang hindi niya kayang gampanan ang tungkulin bilang pinuno ng Senado.
HOW MUCH CAN A LAWMAKER MAKE MONTHLY AND YEARLY?
According to the Department of Budget and Management, members of the Senate and the House of the Representatives receive up to P342,310 monthly, under Salary Grade 31. The number translates to up to over P4 million annually.
In comparison, a minimum wage worker in the National Capital Region, the highest minimum wage daily rate in the Philippines, only receives up to P183,480 annually.
BINABALEWALA ANG ATING RULES. KAMI SA SB-11 AY TUTOL DITO DAHIL IMPUNITY ITO!
Ang nangyari ngayon ay malinaw na pag-abandona sa tungkulin, pagpapabaya sa responsibilidad, at tahasang pagsasawalang-bahala sa mga alituntunin ng institusyong ito. Hindi maaaring patigilin ang Senado sa pagtatrabaho dahil lang tumatangging mamuno ang presiding officer nito.
SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
