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.

I have it on good authority that another senator would have moved but that senator demanded the head of a member of the Cabinet, which for all intents and purposes, was an impossible condition.
The demand was more emotional than practical, a product of understandable frustration. In the end, emotion prevailed over pragmatism.
So, kasalanan pa ng minority bloc na hindi nag-protesta dahil sinigawan ang Senate President natin? Actually, laking pasasalamat nga namin na hindi siya binigwasan ni Sec Jonvic dahil sa inasal niya kahapon. Damn your damdamin.

Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.
Get out of your bubble. Please.
