‘SAYANG, ANG GANDA PA NAMAN NG DEBATE’
WATCH: Senator Robin Padilla said it was unfortunate that minority senators walked out in the middle of the debate over a motion seeking to allow the remote participation of senators in sessions.
Asked about Senator Erwin Tulfo’s remark that the proposed amendment in Senate rules was being railroaded for the benefit of senators who could end up in jail, Padilla replied: “’Wag naman kayo ganyan magsalita.” | @eimorpsantos
In 2006 Risa Hontiveros faced off against cops while calling for the ouster of President Arroyo.
This woman has courageously stood up for us her whole life despite the risk and despite the odds.
“They are in a hurry because there are news reports that two of our colleagues here might land in jail this weekend”
Tangina bumabango yung imahe ng Tulfo brothers sa akin dahil sa lecheng majority na ito!!!
AND HIS STAFF AT THE BACK IS SO PROUD???? 😭🔥
MAGING MATALINO!
HUWAG IBOTO ANG MGA ITO EVER!!

Goosebumps!!! Thank you Minority. Araw-araw simula May 11, gusto namin mag walk out sa Senado para sa inyo. Sobra na ang panbabastos at pambabaluktot sa batas ng 13 Hudas Majority. Kaisa niyo kami SOLID BLOC 11! ✊
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.
to everyone,
please learn to speak up, especially when it comes to politics. silence allows corruption, abuse, and dishonesty to continue. your voice, vote, and opinions matter more than you think.
a better country begins with citizens who refuse to stay silent.
the situation happening right now sa senate is no joke. nakakatakot at nakakagalit.
wishing for the safety of all journalists & media personnels reporting right now sa senate. sobrang saluto po kami sa inyong lahat 🙏🏻
TAMA NA ANG PAGTATAGO. SUMUKO KA NA, BATO!
