MANILA, Philippines — Two senators in the so-called 'new majority' are trending on social media not for their legislative work but because netizens have decided to ship them.

brigada pero walang budget. para makapag pintura kami ng classroom, dinala ng mga parents yong sobra nilang mga pintura sa bahay at pinagsama sama namin para lang may magamit kami sa room. shuta nakakagalit.
‘GUSTO KO NG BUMABA TODAY AS SP’
Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano said he is reluctant to immediately step down as Senate President amid the recent Senate leadership shake-up, citing his continuing duty to uphold his responsibilities to the Filipino people and the Philippine Constitution.

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.
