WATCH: Former Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Winnie Monsod questions why Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano and members of the Senate majority failed to show up for Monday's scheduled session.
Monsod said she was disappointed by the development, especially as senators were expected to resume session while the chamber faces pending bills for legislation.

This #kmjs interview with Bato is very illuminating

Hate Leila De Lima all you want, but at least she can proudly say she never ran from allegations made against her.
E yung si Humpty Dumpty? Can he say the same?
Senator Bong Go is reportedly the next target of an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC), said former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV.
According to Jun Veneracion’s report on “24 Oras” on Tuesday, Trillanes claimed that he received information that an arrest warrant awaits Go, tagging him as a co-conspirator of former president Rodrigo Duterte for cases of crimes against humanity, murder, and attempted murder.
Aside from Dela Rosa and Go, former Philippine National Police chief Oscar Albayalde may also be issued an ICC warrant, according to Trillanes.
GMA News is trying to reach out to Go and Albayalde for their comments on the matter.

In a statement hours after the Senate powergrab on Monday, May 11, the legal scholars said the Senate must proceed with the trial once the House of Represenatives has decided to impeach Duterte.
