SENATE BACK TO WORK FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE
We express our deep appreciation and commend the courageous decision of Senator Francis βChizβ Escudero to take the floor today and confront the issues facing the institution. His action sent a clear message: that his commitment to the country, to the Senate, and to the Constitution would prevail above all else.
His presence enabled the Senate to proceed with the discussion of matters that are too important to be left unresolved and too consequential to be set aside.
On the issue of quorum, this is not an uncharted matter. The Supreme Court, in Avelino v. Cuenco, recognized the principle that a quorum of 12 is determined based on the number of members who are legally able to discharge the functions of the Senate.
There is likewise an institutional precedent. In 2015, the Senate recognized a quorum of 12 senators who were within its jurisdiction. The Senate continued to perform its constitutional duties because the work of government could not be placed on hold.
At a time when the nation faces pressing challenges, the Filipino people expect their Senate to work, deliberate, and fulfill its constitutional mandate. The institution cannot remain stalled by disagreements or uncertainty. Our duty is clear: to legislate, provide oversight, and serve the public interest.
The Filipino people deserve a Senate that shows up, does its job, and places public service above politics.
It is time for the Senate to move forward and get back to work for the Filipino people.
Salamat, Chiz pero di pa rin kita gusto. Atleast may ginawa kang maganda today. Congrats, SB-11!! Balik na kina Sen Ri, Sen Kiko at Sen Bam yung chairmanships sa committees nila π«Ά tuloy ang trabaho para sa Pilipino π
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.

@YDioxide@meow081694930@teombabes Nakalagay na nga po jan, pinatunayan ng PhilHealth mismo, ng Commision on Audit pati ng Supreme Court na hindi involve si Sen. Risa. NPA po ba yang mga yan?
@b231474@jesusfalcis@MessMinchin3 Opo nagfile sila pero pending po ang status kaya hindi pa rin po napayagan si Sen. Leila noon because rules are rules. Magresearch po tayo para alam po natin ang tama at totoo.
β οΈ Alam nyo bakit tumiklop si Imee Marcos at binawi yung propaganda video nya accusing the Minority Bloc na gusto nila ng Charter Change at No Elections?
Eh kasi tumayo si Robin Padilla at sinabing: βAko ay pabor dyan (sa Charter Change).β
Wow mali, Imee! π
