TODAY, WE CHEER FOR THE MINORITY 🥹🫶
I’m FOREVERRRRRRRR praying that I get my fairytale ending.. the dream career. the financial freedom. the friends. the family. the peace. the love... just everything that I truly & genuinely deserve
Grabe sobrang saludo sa Minority Bloc!!
Maraming salamat to Sen. Erwin Tulfo and Sen. Tito Sotto for standing up para ipagtanggol si Sen. Risa Hontiveros!
Despite all the darkness we're seeing in our country, it's inspiring to see people standing up for what is right!
The minority walked out so that the Senate has no quorum while Sen Tito moved to ajourn. Otherwise, criminal senators would have been able to vote while incarcerated or in hiding. I’m so relieved we have these 11 fighting for us.
Ten gentlemen and One MOTHER
Anim na buwan na hindi nagtrabaho habang sumisweldo. Tapos ngayon naman gustong mag-fulltime na work from home?
Hiyang-hiya naman ang mga minimum wage earners sa Pilipinas sa’yo, Sen!
Taumbayan ang nagpapa-sweldo sainyo. Kahit konting kahihiyan man lang sana.
JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT
We strongly condemn what appears to be an attempt to rush a major change in the Senate Rules, especially when several members of the minority still wanted to speak and raise serious questions on the floor.
Bakit kailangang madaliin? Bakit kailangang pigilan ang mga gustong magsalita? Bakit kailangang i-divide ang house kung marami pang senador ang nagtatanong tungkol sa proseso?
Minamadali ba ang rule change na ito dahil gusto nilang maka boto si Senator Bato? At ngayong may mga ulat na may mga majority senators na maaaring arestuhin?
We walked out because what happened on the floor looked less like orderly deliberation. The proposed rule change affects how senators may attend sessions, participate in proceedings and exercise their mandate through remote means, and such a measure should be opened to healthy public debate instead of being rushed by the tyranny of the majority.
We have always welcomed healthy discussions on the floor, but this should mean allowing all members to be heard, not forcing the chamber to move at the speed preferred by the majority.
At the time the motion was taken up, there was no duly constituted Committee on Rules and there was not even an elected Majority Leader who could properly guide a rules amendment through the regular process.
How could there have been any action or discussion before the Committee on Rules when no Committee on Rules has been organized to date?
With due respect, the answer that no Senate rule had been violated does not settle the matter, because the rules cannot be treated as a matter of convenience when the very process for amending them is under serious question.
The timing raises a question that the public deserves to hear debated openly. Kaya pinili naming tumayo at iwan ang majority sa plenary. Kaya kami nagdesisyon to question the quorum and call for adjournment.
If the proposal is truly defensible, then let it pass through the proper route.
We owe it to the people who voted for us to do our mandate. This is why we want more time to discuss this further.
Risa Hontiveros: Hindi ako sensitibo sa puna, sanay ako diyan. Pero ang pinakita po na video ay FAKE NEWS. Delivering a privilege speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news enter in the official records as if it were evidence.

‘ANG SENADO AY HINDI DAPAT MAGING KANLUNGAN NG ABSENTEEISM AT PAGTATAKIPAN’
READ: Mayors Vico Sotto, Joy Belmonte, and Benjamin Magalong, along with other local chief executives of the group Mayors for Good Governance (M4GG), issued a statement on the recent developments in the Senate involving Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa.
“Hindi dapat pinoprotektahan ang isang halal na opisyal na umiiwas sa kanyang mga responsibilidad habang patuloy na tumatanggap ng sahod mula sa taumbayan,” it reads. | 📸: M4GG/Facebook
kapag regularly ka nagco-commute, doon mo talaga makikita how much the Filipino people deserve a government that protects and serves. palaging maging vocal sa mga issues dito sa bansa dahil palaging lumalaban nang patas ang mga Pilipino.
