Friendly reminder that while UNJUSTLY incarcerated, Senator Leila DeLima was NEVER given the opportunity to vote remotely yet she authored HUNDREDS of bills, resolutions and dispatches BY HAND including 4Ps(!), the Magna Carta for the Poor and the Prison Reform Act.
These are strange times. In all my years keeping track of PH politics, I would never imagine myself rooting for a Tito Sotto Senate Presidency, cheering for a Tulfo in the Senate, and agreeing with Migz Zubiri.
but here we are.
Marcoleta’s attempt to question Sen. Risa’s credibility on the basis that she is not a lawyer just shows this deep patriarchal insecurity about the presence of a strong and influential woman in political discourse.
Makulong ka na Marcoletaaaa
Ang pinaka magiging unintentional effect talaga ng kung ano mang ginagawa ng majority ngayon ay ang pagkakabuo nito 11 senators as a minority, probably the strongest minority we’ve seen for a while.
These would have been different had the open fire incident didn’t happen. Mas tumibay yung paninindigan nung 11 senators dahil karangalan na ng institusyon yung nakasalalay. At sa bawat galaw ng mayorya, tumitibay yung bond na nabubuo sa grupong ‘to at umiingay din ang pangalan nila.
Nakakatuwa kasi hindi na nag-iisa si Sen. Risa na umaalma. May boses na ang minorya.
This group is one to watch over the next few weeks or even months.
’IS THIS RULE FOR SENATOR BATO WHO IS NOT HERE?’
WATCH: Tense exchanges in the Senate as minority senators oppose what they describe as the “railroading” of a proposed amendment to Senate rules that would “allow a senator, for justifiable reasons, to attend and participate in sessions through teleconference, video conference, or other reliable electronic means” — a motion introduced by Senator Rodante Marcoleta | @eimorpsantos
That’s the power of a united 11-member minority. In parliamentary procedure, a question on quorum takes precedence over everything. Tito Sotto’s move to question quorum after Alan Peter’s motion to vote on Marcoleta’s motion was thus trumped. 13 members are required for quorum. Without the 11, there was no quorum. So the session had to be adjourned. Kapag naaresto na over the weekend yung ibang senador sa Majority, magiging mas marami na yung “Minority” nila SenRi. They don’t even need to take the Senate Presidency to be able to take control of the Senate. Alan Peter Cayetano will be shown as the most useless Senate President.

i used to have high hopes for the philippines. never thought it would sink this low. taxes are high, those in power fill their pockets while the filipinos suffer.
we’ve prayed for blessings long enough. time to ask for something more urgent: may God SAVE the philippines.
@off_tumcial i weathered through every thing with you and for you. just once let me tell you how disappointed i am. you're a public figure, you should have known what kind of influence you have. whatever your intentions were, that's on you. every action has a consequence and only you can deal with it. whether people hate me or even think i'm being too much for even mentioning you, i will deal with it on my own too.
i will forever defend press freedom. walang wala yan sa mga influencers at content creators na mas mahalaga ang account aesthetic kesa sa pagiging pilipino.
