Ganito na lang.

I-assume natin na pumasok kahapon ang lahat ng 22 Senators na maaaring pumasok, dahil bayad naman sila ng taumbayan para pumasok.

May quorum? Yes.

Ilan ang kailangang bumoto para makagalaw ang Senado sa isang ordinary motion? 12, dahil iyon ang majority ng 22 Senators present. Ngayon, kung may motion si Senator Sotto na i-declare na bakante ang lahat ng posisyon sa Senado, at 12 Senators ang bumoto pabor, ano ang resulta?

Mababakante ang mga posisyon, kasama ang Senate Presidency. Ganito rin nabakante ang mga posisyon nung huling namuno si Senator Sotto at nag-motion si Senator Villanueva nung May 11, 2026 to declare all Senate leadership positions vacant.

Makakahalal ba sila agad ng Senate President? Hindi, kung walang makakuha ng 13 votes. The Constitution requires the Senate President to be elected by majority vote of all the Members of the Senate.

Pero makakahalal ba sila ng Senate President Pro Tempore? Yes.

Bakit? Dahil ang Constitution mismo ang nagsasabi na each House shall choose such other officers as it may deem necessary. Ang Senate President Pro Tempore ay hindi Senate President. Isa siyang ibang officer na kinikilala ng Rules of the Senate na dapat ihalal ng majority of all members of the Senate.

So ano ang dapat gawin? I-harmonize ang Constitution at ang Rules of the Senate.
Dapat ba ang interpretation ay hahayaang walang mahalal at maparalisa ang Senado? Hindi. A reading that leaves the Senate unable to organize or transact business should be avoided, because the Constitution contemplates a functioning Senate, not a paralyzed chamber.

Hindi hinalal si Senator Gatchalian bilang Senate President Pro Tempore para pumalit kay Senator Legarda personally. Hinalal siya para punan ang posisyong nabakante dahil sa lehitimong motion ni Senator Sotto.
Hindi rin siya nahalal na Senate President by 12 votes.

Ang nangyari ay ito: nabakante ang Senate Presidency; walang nahalal na Senate President dahil walang 13 votes; ngunit may valid election ng Senate President Pro Tempore under the Constitution and the Rules of the Senate. By operation of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President Pro Tempore acts as Senate President while the office is vacant.
Hindi lamang sinabi ng Avelino v. Cuenco na hindi kasama sa pag-determine ng quorum ang mga Senador na hindi maaaring i-compel na umattend. Sinabi rin ng kaso na makatwiran na bigyang-bisa ang nais ng nakararami, lalo na sa pagpili ng mamumuno sa Senado, dahil ang pagpili ng Senate leadership ay nakadepende sa will of its members.

Higit sa lahat, hindi pinapayagan ng Constitution na paralisado ang kahit isang Kapulungan ng Kongreso. Kailangan pa ba talagang isulat iyon? Kahit ang taumbayan, hindi papayag na hindi magtrabaho ang mga pinapasweldo nila sa gobyerno.

Kahit grade 1 student, pumapasok nang walang bayad dahil alam niyang tungkulin niyang mag-aral. Ang mga senador pa kaya? Sila itong may malaking budget para kumuha ng magagaling na abogado na magpapaliwanag kung ano ang maaari at hindi maaaring gawin sa Senado.

In a recent SC decision, the Court took issue with the petitioner’s lawyer citing 18 cases that were either marked with the wrong case number or did not actually support the petitioner’s argument. While the SC did not say so, this may be evidence of AI hallucinations.

Here's the Last-Minute Tips for the CPALE May 2026 on RFBT by DAS and NBV.

https://t.co/ZrjJFlcS0r

PASSWORD: MAGIGINGCPAAKO

IMPORTANT NOTE: This document is not meant to replace adequate review time and reputable reference materials in preparation for the CPALE. This is merely a supplementary aid and should not be your primary review material.

Just a suggestion: Find another person who can read to you the tips. (Kung wala, you can read it aloud to yourself.) It would be better if his or her voice is easiest for you to recall. So when you encounter a question that is closely related to one of those tips, you can try to recall those which were read to you. The tips should not have anything that you haven't learned before and if it does have one, just disregard or ignore it (tell yourself, "Hindi lalabas yan"). Given the remaining time you have before exam day, spend your time wisely. Help yourself recall all that you have learned than waste time trying to understand the more complicated ones.

Feel free to share this to those who might need it. I wish to suggest that you ask the reviewee first if they would welcome an additional material. With so many materials shared already, some might find it overwhelming.

Even when we care, we still have to be careful.

Good luck, future CPAs!
