Maganda ang explanation ni Atty Ybañez about what THE CULT is trying to tell all of us: (1) “This (the rally) is not a call for accountability, but a WARNING!” (2) Huwag niyo kaming galawin, kung hindi, guguluhin namin kayo. (3) In effect, INC is saying that “THEY ARE ABOVE THE LAW.” “Basta gusto naming mag-rally, wala kayong magagawa.” (4) “Pananakot ito sa institusyon. Pananakot sa peace of our society. (5) In effect, this is plain and simple “BULLYING” from THE CULT!
Statement
I accept the wisdom of the Supreme Court to suspend me for one year. All lawyers are under the disciplinary power of the Court and I am no exception.
Back in 2018 to 2019, I was fighting for the life and liberty of my brother. And my family’s safety and reputation.
I felt helpless and powerless except for my small voice on social media. We were nobodies and I was screaming against the void.
If being suspended is the price I have to pay for defending my family, then it is a price I will pay in any lifetime.
I recognize that words, contained in a tweet, have power and my choice of words should have consequences. All lawyers should be held accountable for their words and actions.
That is why I prostrate myself to the Supreme Court for disciplining me and in the same vein, I beg the Honorable Court to resolve the pending disbarment cases of former President Rodrigo Duterte and Vice President Sara Duterte, to show that indeed, no one is above the law.
And to our dear Senator-Judges, if a lawyer like me can be suspended for cursing, then a Vice President like Sara Duterte should likewise be answerable not just for cursing but for threatening the life of the President and the First Lady.
Accountability should apply to all, big or small.
#Accountability
I thought he lost a lot of weight? Looks like he is on the heavy side to me. Hiyang sa loob. Nice haircut too, not long, not unkempt contrary to how Kitty and Pulong described it. And the suit was immaculate - well color coordinated.
Mga DDLis talaga. Mahilig sa paawa epek.
Naligaw na naman ako sa Reddit at nakita ko ito. Kawawa naman yung bata na sinapok ng bully na ito. I think he’s being “hunted” now. Ang bata pa, at payatot pa pero napakalakas ng loob mag-bully. I think kasama niya yung naunang nambatok. Oh God, such bullies. I hope they get their comeuppance. They deserve it.

The Executive Department, House of Representatives, Integrated Bar of the Philippines, law deans, law professors, former Senate presidents and many others do not recognize Senator Alan Cayetano as the President of the Senate. So, what is he?
“When you’re strong on the law, pound the law. When you’re strong on the facts, pound the facts. When you’re weak on both…” — mag-Facebook live ka na lang.
Today, I take my oath as Senate President Pro Tempore.
Nagpapasalamat ako sa tiwala at kumpiyansang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng aking mga kasamahan sa Senado.
Buong pagpapakumbaba kong tinatanggap ang responsibilidad na ito. Patuloy tayong magtatrabaho at tutupad sa ating tungkulin para sa sambayanang Pilipino.
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.
Zubiri: Sa lahat ng nasa Hospital ngayon na hinohostage ng Hospital dahil di makabayad, KASALANAN NI ALAN CAYETANO YAN! Ipapasa na sana namin ngayon. Grabe Alan Peter Cayetano! Halang talaga kaluluwa mo kasama ang gReAt tertin GRABE ALAN PETER CAYETANO
Sayang ang ipinapasahod ng taong-bayan kung hindi nagagamit ang oras ng Senado para sa trabaho.
Humigit-kumulang ₱25 milyon ang ginagastos kada araw sa operasyon ng Senado para sa kuryente, utilities, pasahod, at iba pang pangangailangan.
Kapag walang sesyon, walang batas o resolusyong maipapasa. Maaantala rin ang kumpirmasyon ng ating military personnel.
“Miss Karen ang problema puro siya Facebook LIVE, baka gusto niya maging vlogger na lamang?
May oras siya sa pag-vlog pero yung mga gawain niya bilang Senate President hindi niya magampanan? Sayang Miss Karen ang pa-sweldo sa kanya ng sambayanan”
GET HIM SENATOR ERWIN!!! LOUDER!!!! 😌✨
Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.
Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.
Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.
