PINATAYAN NG AIRCON AT INTERNET?

Isiniwalat ni Sen. Raffy Tulfo na pinatayan umano silang mga minority senator ng aircon at internet sa loob ng plenaryo ng Senado ngayong Lunes, June 1.

Hinintay ng minority senators ang mga miyembro ng mayorya para sa dapat sana'y sesyon ngayong araw.

“Ganoon ba kababaw ‘yung mga nangyari sa Senate? Eh sa ngayon, dapang-dapa na ang Senado sa imahe,” sabi ni Sen. Raffy sa panayam sa kaniya sa #FrontlinePilipinas.

“Lahat kami, 11, nandoon kami sa floor… Naghintay kami, after more than an hour, all of a sudden biglang uminit… Lahat kami nainitan na, ‘yun pala pinatayan kami. And then gusto naming gamitin ‘yung internet, pinatayan na rin,” aniya.

‘BIGAY NA NATIN ITO FOR THE GOOD OF THE CHAMBER, HINDI FOR MY OWN GOOD’

Former Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III suggested that Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano consider stepping down if he could no longer unite the chamber, warning that the deepening rift among senators was already affecting the institution’s ability to perform its constitutional duties, including the upcoming impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte.

in case you’re wondering, the senate minority have been seated since 5pm at the plenary while none of the majority senators are present

Remember all those Senators who failed to go to work today because they accompanied a person who got arrested for PLUNDER not once but THRICE in 25 years.

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

Handa kaming magtrabaho, pero ayon sa Senate rules, kung wala ang SP o walang quorum, walang session.

We wait until the SP returns and fulfills his sworn duty.

Madaming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan. Nanganganib na naman ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa nalalapit na super El Niño.

Ang gobyernong hindi kayang sundin ang sarili nitong patakaran, hindi kayang solusyunan ang problema ng mga magsasaka, mangingisda, manggagawa, at ordinaryong pamilyang Pilipino.

Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.

SOLID BLOC 11: THIS IS NOT SENATE INDEPENDENCE BUT A BOYCOTT OF DUTY

The Solid Bloc 11 minority senators were present today for the 5 p.m. resumption of session, ready to work, ready to vote on pending bills and ready to keep the Senate running, but the majority led by SP Cayetano chose not to show up.

They did not even have the courtesy to inform us when they ignored the rules, and could not extend the basic decency of telling the minority that they had no intention of convening.

Let us focus on the work, because the Senate has serious business before it, and if the majority wants to protest, deliver privilege speeches or defend its position, the proper place to do that is on the floor, not by making the chamber stand still.

Ang Senado ay hindi pag-aari ng iisang may hawak ng gavel. Institusyon ito ng taumbayan at napakadaming mahalagang panukala ang nabibinbin dahil sa drama ng mayorya.

Important measures were left hanging because of the majority’s boycott, including the Magna Carta of Barangay Health Workers, the Anti-Hospital Detention Bill, the confirmation of generals before the Commission on Appointments and the bills granting Philippine citizenship to Bennie Boatwright III and Matthew James Ramos.

Let us call this for what it is: the claim that this is about Senate independence is false, because what happened today was about the rule of law, public accountability and a lawful process before the Ombudsman and the Sandiganbayan that no senator, no bloc and no presiding officer controls.

This is a boycott because of the arrest of Senator Jinggoy Estrada, and the public should not be asked to believe another convenient line from a leadership that has repeatedly twisted the truth.

Today was a step toward accountability in a controversy that the public has long demanded action on, and after years of people asking why nothing was happening in flood control investigations, it is unacceptable to suddenly call the rule of law an attack on the Senate.

Is Senate President Alan Cayetano now questioning the rule of law?

Sa totoo lang, ang gusto nila ay kampihan, hindi prinsipyo. Gusto nila sumama kami sa boycott, patahimikin ang Senado at gamitin ang minority para manatili ang Senate President sa puwesto habang iniiwasan ang tunay na test of numbers sa floor.

This may be the first time in decades that Senate work stopped because the presiding officer himself refused to work, because even during typhoons and the height of the pandemic, work was suspended only because of necessity or because systems still had to be set up, not because the leadership chose a boycott of duty.

The public has every right to ask whether SP Cayetano is repeating what he did in the House of Representatives, when questions were raised about a leader refusing to step aside, refusing to convene and holding up proceedings when the numbers were no longer certain.

The question now is just as serious: will they do this again for the next two session days, and will they keep the Senate idle simply to avoid facing the numbers on the floor?

The Senate should open its doors, call the session to order and return to work, because no Facebook post, no appeal to institutional pride and no political drama can erase the basic duty of senators to show up, follow the law and serve the people.

And lastly, we call on the Filipino people to watch the Senate closely, because when an institution refuses to work, public vigilance becomes the people’s first line of defense.

Bawal agad maputulan ng kuryente! 🙅‍♂️

Dahil isinailalim ang bansa sa State of National Energy Emergency, inutos ng Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) sa lahat ng distribution utilities, kabilang ang Meralco at mga local electric cooperatives, na bawal basta-basta putulan ng kuryente ang hindi pa nakakabayad mula May hanggang July.

May installment option din para sa qualified consumers na may konsumo na 200 kWh pababa.

Panoorin ang ating #LegalLifehack para malaman ang detalye: https://t.co/y24Zy9w89k

I-share ito para mas marami ang makaalam ng kanilang karapatan bago sila maputulan.

🚨 The PNP has revoked fugitive Bato Dela Rosa's ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN (117) gun license, citing RA No. 10591.

He can now be arrested for illegal possession of firearms if he is caught with them.

Local warrant at local na kaso yun! Hindi na pwede mag reklamo mga DDS.😂

BAKIT SINAMPAHAN NG REKLAMONG PLUNDER AT BRIBERY SI SEN. RODANTE MARCOLETA?

Nagsampa ang Field Investigation Bureau (FIB) ng Office of the Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon sa Office of the Ombudsman ng reklamo laban kay Sen. Rodante Marcoleta at 3 pribadong indibidwal na nagbigay sa kanya ng donasyon noong 2025.

Ang puno’t dulo nito, alamin.
