Alan Peter Cayetano’s words to issue as receipts from his Corona Impeachment Verdict (a thread):

🎥 Footage from ANC.

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

🚨 OMG Cong. Chel Diokno is citing past actions not just of the Senate in the case of CJ Corona BUT also the specific actions of Chiz Escudero and Alan Peter to prove that what the Prosecution is asking for now has been done before.

Checkmate si APC!

⚠️ Senator Robin Padilla asking for the credentials of NBI Agent Mark Calilung is like your bulakbol classmate asking for the credentials of the summa cum laude valedictorian.

Yung isa, 86.6% na board passer CPA.

Ganun kalayo silang dalawa! 😂

[Jesus Falcis 🇵🇭 @jesusfalcis]

❌ Senator Alan Peter Cayetano: “In your personal opinion as the investigator of the case, is the threat conditional?”

✅ NBI Agent Mark Calilung: “Sa akin, the threat is absolute po.”

⚠️ Hahaha thanks for eliciting that APC. Walang kawala si VP!

Grabe. Ang pinakasukdulan talaga ay yung tangang mayabang.

Maipasok lang ang sariling katwiran, gagamitin na ang batas na parang goma — iuunat, pipilipitin, babaluktutin — para lang mapaboto ang katotong pinaghahanap ng hustisya.

Sorry, patola ako ngayon, kasi hindi ko talaga kayang unawain kung bakit tayo nagbabayad ng buwis para paswelduhin ang mga ganito.

Hindi na nga sumusunod sa batas, ipinagyayabang pa ang kamangmangan. Excuse po ba sila sa Constitution? May special lane ba ang katangahan sa Senado?

Indeed, the punishment of wise men is to be ruled by unwise men. Pero marami sila, kaya “men” na rin. Collective noun na yata ang kabobohan.

At kung maiinis kayo dahil kesyo nagmamarunong ako, i-block n’yo na ako. Walang pilitan dito. Hindi ko obligasyong gawing daycare ang wall ko para sa mga allergic sa common sense.

Hindi tayo uunlad sa ganitong klaseng pag-iisip: yung mali na nga, ipinipilit pa; yung batas na nga, ginagawang suggestion; yung accountability na nga, ginagawang favor sa tropa.

Kaya please, trolls at DDS, huwag muna kayong magtambay sa wall ko. Bad trip ako today. 😡

[Anak ka ng Martial Law @anakmartiallaw]

The mere fact Rodrigo rescinded ICC membership shows he is trying to avoid accountability. Human rights issue is not just a local matter it is a universal concern. If our justice system worked, prosecution would be more than 1%

Ang tunay na Pinoy nag-iisip, hindi sumasamba lang

GASLIGHTING! Yan ang ginagawa ni imee Marites. Ang dami syang kaalyado na damay sa flood control issue. Tapos sya din ang gumagawa ng drama at hindi imbes na magtrabaho ay namumulitika!

[Shania DJF @MakaBayanYan]

When Sen Leila was wrongfully jailed, she was not accorded with the privilege to attend sessions online. She was not allowed to vote too.

Tapos ngayon, dahil may nagtatago sa WoA at may lalabas na WoA pa, bibigyan ng privilege? Tanginang kaisipan yan

[Nico B. Valderrama @nbvneverquits]

If walang tinatago, bakit matatakot?

If the Philippine justice system is working, why not just face the cases and defend yourselves?

Politicians cannot not steal public funds and/or commit crimes and then use politics as a defense when prosecuted.

Hindi pwedeng ikumpara itong “videoconferencing” push ng Senate majority ngayon sa panawagan noong 2021 para payagan ang pagsali sa sesyon at committee hearings ni noo'y Senator De Lima.

Una, COVID pandemic noon at ang Senado, gaya ng ibang institusyon, ay naka video-conferencing. The Senate Rules only allow videoconferencing due to force majeure or occurrence of national emergency. Wala namang pandemic ngayon.

Pangalawa at mas importante, si Senator Leila noon ay sumuko, na-detain at rumespeto sa proseso ng batas.

Then and now, there should be respect for legal authority. The Senate should not pave the way for a member to continue to vote, influence policies and receive institutional benefits of office - despite refusing to submit to lawful arrest or judicial authority.

To whom much power is given, much responsibility is expected. Kaming mga senador ay dapat pumasok, humarap sa publiko at magtrabaho.

- Senator @risahontiveros

[marvièn @mvn_dn]

Friendly reminder that while UNJUSTLY incarcerated, Senator Leila DeLima was NEVER given the opportunity to vote remotely yet she authored HUNDREDS of bills, resolutions and dispatches BY HAND including 4Ps(!), the Magna Carta for the Poor and the Prison Reform Act.

[Gnostic Legend @GnosticLegend]

I never voted for Tito Sotto before, but credit where it’s due. I honestly respect what he did last night. Since his comeback, he has been standing for what is right more often, and what happened last night proved it again.

When the Minority senators walked out and the Senate lost quorum, Tito Sotto immediately pointed it out and moved to adjourn the session. Marcoleta tried to argue and question the rules, but Tito Sen shut it down fast with that line: “Akala ko ba magaling sa rules?”

And the thing is, Sotto was absolutely correct based on Senate procedure. The motion to adjourn takes precedence once there’s no quorum. Cayetano couldn’t do anything. Even Loren Legarda, as presiding officer, had no choice but to concede and adjourn the session.

Tito Sotto stood his ground.

Turns out, the “comedian” understood the Senate rules better than all of them. Maybe tama nga na bumalik ka, Tito Sen. 👏

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.
