Ang tungkulin natin ay maglingkod at magtrabaho. Kailangang ibalik ang direksyon ng Senado matapos itong hindi makapagsagawa ng sesyon sa loob ng tatlong araw.
Naghihintay na ng solusyon ang ating mga kababayan sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na problema. May mga panukalang batas na nabinbin at mga isyung kailangang talakayin.
Inaabot ko ang aking kamay sa lahat ng Senador, majority man o minority, na magkaisa para sa iisang layunin.
Ibabalik natin ang dignidad ng institusyong ito sa gawa at hindi sa salita.
These journalists risked their lives to cover the Senate chaos last month tapos tatawagin lang sila ng isang Senador na “bayaran”?
Takot, trauma, nerbyos ang inabot nila tapos tatawagin lang na bayaran????????? TALAGA??????

Nagpapasalamat tayo sa ating mga kasamahan sa Senado sa muling pagtitiwala bilang Chairperson ng Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform.
Maraming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan, at nanganganib ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa Super El Niño.
Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.
Patuloy ang ating laban para sa ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda, at para sa mas abot-kayang pagkain para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. 🇵🇭
SENATE BACK TO WORK FOR THE FILIPINO PEOPLE
We express our deep appreciation and commend the courageous decision of Senator Francis “Chiz” 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.

“Miss Karen ang problema puro siya Facebook LIVE, baka gusto niya maging vlogger na lamang?
May oras siya sa pag-vlog pero yung mga gawain niya bilang Senate President hindi niya magampanan? Sayang Miss Karen ang pa-sweldo sa kanya ng sambayanan”
GET HIM SENATOR ERWIN!!! LOUDER!!!! 😌✨
BREAKING: With a vote of 265-14-8, the House of Representatives expelled Cavite 4th District Representative Francisco Barzaga on Tuesday following multiple suspensions.

‘SENATE PRESIDENT ALAN PETER CAYETANO SHOULD RESIGN’
BREAKING: The Senate minority bloc demands Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano’s resignation following the majority senators’ no-show at the session for the second consecutive day today. | @eimorpsantos
SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
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.
