'THE CONSTITUTION SHOULD BE INTERPRETED IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS THE SENATE TO FUNCTION AND NOT BE BLOCKED'
The official organization of lawyers in the country has invoked a 1949 landmark Supreme Court decision in saying that the session held by the new Senate majority on June 3 was “lawful and valid.”

'HE IS DISGUSTING'
LOOK: Sen. Ping Lacson on Thursday slammed the accusations made during the Blue Ribbon Committee hearing led by Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano's bloc, calling it a "bogus BRC hearing."
In response to the image presented in the hearing earlier of him riding a helicopter with Sen. Tito Sotto, Lacson clarified that the picture was taken during his 2022 presidential campaign when he contracted an air service company for P11 million, an expenditure he said was already included in his SOCE.
“The air service company was Asian Aerospace. We contracted them in the 2022 campaign. It's on our Statement of Contribution and Expenditures (SOCE) where we paid P11.031 million for the services," Lacson said in his statement.

The OIC mentioned here seems to have the same last name as the former Senate Secretary Montalez (the one who refused to have the rollcall today). Could they be the same? They go way back pala and wow…the wifey does the same thing pala..in her case locking the session hall of the cityhall!🤮 So meant this couple (APC & Lani) @jesusfalcis
Lani Cayetano - kinandado ang Sangguniang Panglungsod hall ng Taguig.
Alan Peter Cayetano - pinatay ang wifi, aircon at kinandado ang batasang pambansa; pinatay ang aircon at wifi ng Senado.
Aba’y kandado couple nga sila ano?

'PROTEKTOR NG PUGANTE. HUWAG TULARAN'
WATCH: Civil society groups led by Tindig Pilipinas are set to file an obstruction of justice complaint against Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, Senator Robin Padilla, and suspended Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Mao Aplasca with the Office of the Ombudsman on Wednesday, June 3.
The complaint stems from their alleged roles in the escape of Senator Bato dela Rosa from the Senate premises. | @bylancemejico
Alam mo, @robinpadilla23, kung anong hindi “allegedly”?
Ito:
1. Yung convicted criminal ka of a crime involving moral turpitude, at it was a huge mistake for you to be pardoned because you are a menace to society.
2. Yung mahina ang utak mo, tamad ka pa na aralin mga issues. You are unbecoming of a Senator, at sayang ang pasweldo sayo ng taumbayan.
3. Yung kunyari eh nationalistic ka na ayaw mo malitis si Bato ng mga tinatawag mong banyaga, pero makitid lang talaga kokote mo na hindi mo naiintindihan na ang International Law ay part of the law of the land, batay na rin sa ating SARILING Saligang Batas. Pero sa issue ng Tsina at West Philippine Sea, nga-nga ka.
4. Yung katotohanan na wala ang loyalty mo sa taumbayan kundi sa mga Duterte at kaalyado mo lang.
5. At bukod sa lahat, yung hindi ka talaga namin deserve.
Layas dyan sa Senado. Binababoy mo ang institusyon.
WATCH: The Senate minority called on the resignation of Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, saying his absence and the absence of the majority senators are a dereliction of duty. @inquirerdotnet

What a shameless bunch this Senate Majority most especially the Senate President. This is tyranny, immaturity, unparliamentary and a display of abuse and hunger for power. Stop looking out for your own personal interests!

@lyndajumilla I agree Ms Lynda. I think this still boils down to the impeachment trial. They want to sabotage the coming trial. So many scripts and acts for this group. Tsk! What a shameless bunch!
