2018: Year of the Earth Dog

Gong Xi Fa Chai 😏 Wishing everyone a prosperous new year!

🚨 Baste Duterte told his DDS cult to dump their trash before the DENR-Davao Office because he blames DENR for the closure of their city landfill when in fact it’s his fault for failing to prevent a landslide.

Dear DILG, suspend this Davao City Mayor now! 👊

Daming kwento tungkol sa future Senator na nag name-drop sa isang rally nung estudyante pa siya para huwag ma-aresto. Here's the original article in the Philippine Collegian about it. Sorry kung mahirap basahin, zoom in na lang. 🙂

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

Alinsunod sa Konstitusyon at Avelino v. Cuenco, malinaw ang batayan ng Senado sa pagkakaroon ng valid quorum upang ipagpatuloy ang mga proseso nito.

[Kat Domingo @_katrinadomingo]

PCO USec. Claire Castro responds to Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano’s allegation that Malacañang is conspiring with Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian’s bloc to control the Senate.

IBP: 12-person Senate session was lawful and valid

🚨 Senator Erwin Tulfo will invite the “18 Marites”, Melvin Matibag, and Boying Remulla in Monday’s Blue Ribbon hearing.

Intense!

But they should add Leila De Lima, Trillanes, and Fr. Flavie as well so that they can confront the “18 Marites” face to face. 👊

💥

[Manuel L. Quezon III @mlq3]

FYI.

[Teacher E @E4thofjuly]

Aray mo! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

I have already responded to these blatant lies and filed libel/cyberlibel complaint before the NBI and perjury complaint before the DOJ.

Uulitin ko: Whether sa maleta, sa paper bag o anuman yan, wala akong tinatanggap na pera. Hindi na rin nakapagtataka na nagkakabuhol-buhol ang kwento at paratang sa akin dahil imbento lang ang mga pinagsasabi nila — kasinungalingan na inulit lang sa isang kwestyonableng hearing sa Senado.

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

Disgraced ex-SP Cayetano desperately dragged my name in a bogus BRC hearing without an iota of evidence or even a tiny bit of basis or reason except to pull me into a corruption controversy. He exposed his loathsome behavior by using overstretched innuendos. He is disgusting.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

Alam nyo ba kung bakit dumating si Sen. Lowren Legarda sa fake hearing pero umalis din agad?

She needs to show support sa DDS script but has to leave asap dahil kasama siya sa binigyan at dinalhan ng maleta sa Forbes Park based sa affidavit ng 18 Marites.

Wow mali! 😂

[Kiko Pangilinan @kikopangilinan]

FORDA WIN! 👏

Congratulations, Sen. Win! Balik tayo trabaho! 🤝

[Ces Oreña-Drilon @cesdrilon]

They don’t show up for plenary sessions but appear for a supposed Senate inquiry? It’s mind-boggling.

[Tito Sotto @sotto_tito]

When does 13 become 12? It’s when 24 becomes 22!

[PING LACSON @iampinglacson]

The Avelino v Cuenco (GR 2821) ruling is now the most talked-about legal doctrine among lawyers and non-lawyers.
Guess who among the members of the former minority of 11 researched and first introduced to the group this 1949 and still leading case in the determination of a quorum of senators to conduct plenary business?

[Barry Gutierrez @barrygutierrez3]

The 1949 case of Avelino v Cuenco gives the new 12-member Senate majority legal basis for their actions today.

If Cayetano's group disagrees, they can bring the matter before the SC.

It will be interesting to see if the SC considers it as a political question or not.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

⚠️ Can the Solid-12 (with Chiz) legally conduct the session? Yes.

That is because with Jinggoy arrested for Plunder, he is not counted for quorum.

The legal quorum is now 12 out of 23 instead of 24.

Natalo na naman si Alan Peter sa mga beterano like Tito Sen sa rules! 😂

👊

[Win Gatchalian @WinGatchalian74]

Today, I take my oath as Senate President Pro Tempore.

Nagpapasalamat ako sa tiwala at kumpiyansang ipinagkaloob sa akin ng aking mga kasamahan sa Senado.

Buong pagpapakumbaba kong tinatanggap ang responsibilidad na ito. Patuloy tayong magtatrabaho at tutupad sa ating tungkulin para sa sambayanang Pilipino.

[Edwin Lacierda @dawende]

For the record, Sherwin Gatchalian. Is not the new Senate President. He is the new Senate President Pro Tempore.

Alan Cayetano is still the Senate President but he has become what we call a lameduck Senate President.

With 12 senators, there is a quorum to declare all elective positions vacant except the position of the Senate President.
