EARLIER: Tension at the Senate after resource persons of Senator Pia Cayetano were not allowed to enter for the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing.

Cayetano and Senator Robin Padilla fetched them at the ground floor. DILG Secretary Jonvic Remulla tried to stop them, but was not able to. | via @victoriatulad

‘SI SECRETARY JONVIC REMULLA, HINAHARANG AKO’

Senator Pia Cayetano said that Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla prevented her from entering the Senate on Thursday.

“Nagulat na lang ako nakita ko dun si Secretary Jonvic Remulla, hinaharang ako. I never thought the day would come that someone would prevent me from entering the Senate, this is my office,” she said.

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.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

With a valid quroum of 12 Senators (Avelino v. Cuenco), we declared all positions, including the position of Senate President, vacant. This motion only requires a simple majority.

Sen. Alan is no longer Senate President. In his stead, the Acting Senate President is Senate President Pro Tempore, Win Gatchalian.

[Heidi Mendoza @HeidiMendoza45]

Sorry,

Hindi ko kayang pasalamatan ka kung personal mong desisyon na huwag kang kumuha ng sweldo.

Ano ka, hilo?

Sobrang entitled lang na parang utang na loob pa ng bayan na “nagsakripisyo” ka dahil hindi ka raw susweldo.

Hindi kaya na-advance mo na, kasama na ang retirement, at may sobra pa?

Hiniya mo naman lahat ng auditor ng PDAF at imbestigador ng Ombudsman sa sinasabi mong prinsipyo na handa mong panindigan.

Nakikiusap lang ako: matagal ka nang wala sa pinilakang tabing. Hindi bagay ang acting!

SOLID BLOC 11: THIS IS NOT SENATE INDEPENDENCE BUT A BOYCOTT OF DUTY

The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.

They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.

Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.

Ang Senado ay hindi pag-aari ng iisang may hawak ng gavel. Institusyon ito ng taumbayan at napakadaming mahalagang panukala ang nabibinbin dahil sa drama ng mayorya.

Important measures were left hanging because of the majority’s boycott, including the Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers, the Anti-Hospital Detention Bill, the confirmation of generals before the Commission on Appointments and the bills granting Philippine citizenship to Bennie Boatwright III and Matthew James Ramos.

Let us call this for what it is: the claim that this is about Senate independence is false, because what happened today was about the rule of law, public accountability and a lawful process before the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan that no senator, no bloc and no presiding officer controls.

This is a boycott because of the arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, and the public should not be asked to believe another convenient line from a leadership that has repeatedly twisted the truth.

Today was a step toward accountability in a controversy that the public has long demanded action on, and after years of people asking why nothing was happening in flood control investigations, it is unacceptable to suddenly call the rule of law an attack on the Senate.

Is Senate President Alan Cayetano now questioning the rule of law?

Sa totoo lang, ang gusto nila ay kampihan, hindi prinsipyo. Gusto nila sumama kami sa boycott, patahimikin ang Senado at gamitin ang minority para manatili ang Senate President sa puwesto habang iniiwasan ang tunay na test of numbers sa floor.

This may be the first time in decades that Senate work stopped because the presiding officer himself refused to work, because even during typhoons and the height of the pandemic, work was suspended only because of necessity or because systems still had to be set up, not because the leadership chose a boycott of duty.

The public has every right to ask whether SP Cayetano is repeating what he did in the House of Representatives, when questions were raised about a leader refusing to step aside, refusing to convene and holding up proceedings when the numbers were no longer certain.

The question now is just as serious: will they do this again for the next two session days, and will they keep the Senate idle simply to avoid facing the numbers on the floor?

The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.

And lastly, we call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.
