originally for sarah and matteo raw pala yung wonderful nightmare nyeche pagbubuhatin na naman si sg if ever… bawal ma-pair sa iba??? buti sana kung magaling shang artista chz
Who would have thought that Tito Sotto and Ping Lacson would snatch Marcoleta’s wig after his (failed) attempt to bully Sen. Risa?!!!
“Akala ko ba magaling sa rules?”
“It’s the rules, stupid.”
Mama, whack him for me again!!!
May I just share:
There were 12 Senate Majority members present, 1 presiding, 11 seated on the plenary.
There were 11 Senate Minority members, 1 went home early.
Sa majority bakit sina Alan Peter, Imee, Pia at Rodante lang ang nagsasalita? Yung airtime kung airtime ha. 1/3
I never voted for Tito Sotto before, but credit where it’s due. I honestly respect what he did last night. Since his comeback, he has been standing for what is right more often, and what happened last night proved it again.
When the Minority senators walked out and the Senate lost quorum, Tito Sotto immediately pointed it out and moved to adjourn the session. Marcoleta tried to argue and question the rules, but Tito Sen shut it down fast with that line: “Akala ko ba magaling sa rules?”
And the thing is, Sotto was absolutely correct based on Senate procedure. The motion to adjourn takes precedence once there’s no quorum. Cayetano couldn’t do anything. Even Loren Legarda, as presiding officer, had no choice but to concede and adjourn the session.
Tito Sotto stood his ground.
Turns out, the “comedian” understood the Senate rules better than all of them. Maybe tama nga na bumalik ka, Tito Sen. 👏
Si Marcoleta, niyabangan si SenRi kasi hindi raw siya abogado.
Pero the fact na abogado si Marcoleta highlights his stupidity.
Inamin niya in an interview na tumanggap siya ng donations amounting to ₱75M from “friends” while he was still a congressman. Basic knowledge for lawyers to know na that is a violation of RA 3019, RA 6713, bribery provisions of the Revised Penal Code, and Plunder. Basic knowledge din for lawyers na one act can result to several crimes covered by special penal laws.
So in one action, Marcoleta admitted to violating several criminal laws AND created evidence against himself.
Sinong tanga, diba? Even petty criminals aren’t that stupid.
Lord. Please Lord…speak I to every heart of those in the senate. Speak in a way that they have never experienced before. Give them the courage and direction to simply do what is right in Your eyes. We’ve such a broken country Lord🙏🏼💔Have mercy on us…please🙏🏼🇵🇭😥
Goosebumps!!! Thank you Minority. Araw-araw simula May 11, gusto namin mag walk out sa Senado para sa inyo. Sobra na ang panbabastos at pambabaluktot sa batas ng 13 Hudas Majority. Kaisa niyo kami SOLID BLOC 11! ✊
Hindi ko alam kung nangyari na ito dati, but that was the first time na napanuod ko ‘yun.
Ang galing nung move na ‘yun ng Senate minority to leave the plenary, then motion for quorum ni Sotto. Tapos motion to adjourn. To block that motion to amend the rules of the Senate.
ang galing sa part na while nag walk out na yung minority bloc naiwan si minority leader tito sotto para isure ball na hindi matutuloy at makakaboto ang majority bloc.
ang coordinated lang and ang iconic nitong minority ✨walk out✨ 👏🏼
Senator @risahontiveros may not be a lawyer, but she understands her mandate and respects the rules of the Senate.
Meanwhile, some with legal backgrounds use their knowledge not to uphold the rules but to twist policies for political convenience.
You do not need a law degree to understand integrity, accountability, and respect for institutions. ✊🏻
Grabe sobrang saludo sa Minority Bloc!!
Maraming salamat to Sen. Erwin Tulfo and Sen. Tito Sotto for standing up para ipagtanggol si Sen. Risa Hontiveros!
Despite all the darkness we're seeing in our country, it's inspiring to see people standing up for what is right!
The minority walked out so that the Senate has no quorum while Sen Tito moved to ajourn. Otherwise, criminal senators would have been able to vote while incarcerated or in hiding. I’m so relieved we have these 11 fighting for us.
