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.

LAWMAKERS JOIN THOUSANDS AT ANTI-CORRUPTION PROTESTS

Senate Deputy Majority Leader Risa Hontiveros, Senators Kiko Pangilinan and Bam Aquino, and House Deputy Minority Leader Leila de Lima on Sunday joined thousands of Filipinos at the EDSA People Power Monument to protest the multi-trillion peso flood control scandal.

They marched alongside the "Akbayan Reform Bloc" — Akbayan Partylist Representatives Chel Diokno, Perci Cendaña, Dadah Kiram Ismulah, and Dinagat Islands Rep. Kaka Bag-ao — in a mobilization organized by Simbahan at Komunidad laban sa Katiwalian (SIKLAB), Akbayan Party, Tindig Pilipinas, ML Partylist, Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, Kalipunan, and Youth Against Kurakot (YAK).

Organizers said more than 3,000 joined the morning rally at EDSA, signaling the start of a series of demonstrations that will culminate in the "Trillion Peso March" later in the day, with over 30,000 expected to participate.

At the same time, Kabataan Partylist joined a massive anti-corruption rally at Luneta Park. As of 10:45 a.m., the Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) estimated the crowd at 49,000.

Cendaña warned that public anger is "nearing boiling point" and vowed that the Dutertes' "legacy of corruption" will face a day of reckoning. He also cautioned President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. that failure to hold allies accountable could shift the people's anger toward him.

Diokno stressed the need to recover stolen public funds, while Ismulah called for a probe into anomalous projects in Mindanao, including those allegedly funneled to Davao City.

Kabataan Partylist, meanwhile, declared: "NEVER AGAIN TO CORRUPTION! The power of the people is stronger than the people in power!"

PANOORIN: Angel Aquino, nakiisa sa #BahaSaLuneta.

“I hope this starts a change somehow. People will see that other people are actually concerned, because for so long we think na kanya-kanya na lang tayo. But now we really need to move as one,” ayon kay Angel Aquino.

Kasalukyang nagaganap ang iba't ibang protesta ngayong Sept. 21, 2025 dahil sa katiwalian na pumutok kaugnay ng flood control projects.
