Sen. Erwin Tulfo on Friday said that he will order the arrest of senators who will hold a hearing of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee other than the one he would preside over as chairman.
"I don't care kung dati kang Senate President, dati kang Speaker of the House...talagang papahuli kita. Kung hindi papahuli, kung ayaw ng OSAA, bibitbitin kita, kukwelyuhan kita, palalayasin kita diyan sa floor na 'yan," Tulfo said.

Walang senate secretary. Walang stenographers. Walang legislative staff from the Blue Ribbon Committee. No one is taking the minutes of the so-called hearing. This will not be on the official records of the Senate. Meaning, it’s not legal.
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.
Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian - SP Pro Tempore
Sen. Erwin Tulfo - Committee Chairman on Blue Ribbon
Sen. Kiko Pangilinan - Committee Chairman on Agriculture
Sen. Risa Hontiveros - Committee Chairman on Health
Sen. Bam Aquino - Committee Chairman on Basic Education
TODAY, WE CHEER FOR THE MINORITY 🥹🫶
Erwin Tulfo is 100% right here for calling out the ad hominem and immediately raising a point of order.
Marcoleta dismissing Sen.Risa Hontiveros’ argument just because she does not have a legal background is credentialism at its worst.
Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas
