Senator Robin Padilla, just a quick reminder:
Under Presidential Decree No. 1829, any public official or employee who commits obstruction of justice shall suffer perpetual disqualification from holding public office, in addition to the other penalties (Section 2).
“The people are our bosses. The masa, everybody. The street sweeper, the janitor, the security guard etc. are our boss because they elected us. Our powers emanate from the public so we have to respect that.
Kung yung amo namin ay nagtatrabaho, paano naman kaming mga utusan na nakaupo lang at pasarap-sarap? Mag-iinternet lang?
Samantalang 'yung amo namin, kailangan magtiis sa traffic, pumunta sa factory na mainit. Magtatrabaho 'yung construction worker, napaka-init ngayon ng panahon, pumupukpok doon. These are the people paying our salaries, Ms. Karmina, and yet for us in the comforts of our home, airconditioned? We don't need to go to the Senate for session kasi pwede ang teleconferencing, videoconferencing? Kaya nga we objected, nakakahiya!”
The questioning of THE Karmina Constantino and the response of Senator Erwin Tulfo??? LOUDER!!!!
JUST IN: The Criminal Investigation and Detection Group says it will refer a complaint for obstruction of justice before the Department of Justice against Sen. Robin Padilla and others who facilitated Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa's escape from the Senate. | via @manueltupas
These are strange times. In all my years keeping track of PH politics, I would never imagine myself rooting for a Tito Sotto Senate Presidency, cheering for a Tulfo in the Senate, and agreeing with Migz Zubiri.
but here we are.
Bakit ko alam to ?
Eh ako yung Minority Leader eh hindi ako member ng Committee on rules. ex officio eh tumawag ba ? Hindi.
Ano to binabraso?
