@ninabeIlatrix1 Post EDSA Senate have had a number of quorum of 12, one of the most notable was May 2015, after the detention of 3 Senators and 4 out of the country. Anyway, Cayetano and company are free to run to the SC. Who knows the SC might overturn the Avelino vs Cuenca doctrine

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@TheManilaTimes naman, naman, naman, we are not political hoe like you who go for the highest bidder. In May 2015, the Senate had a quorum of 12 out of 17 members. You were one of the 7 Senators who were either out of the country or in jail You did not quetion the quorum then.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@realedumanzano nope, that is a simpleton's take. it's more than the BRC Chairmanship, there is also the impeachment trial, the next budget deliberations, the 2028 elections.

@KaliBangon22 Yong pinalitang ugok na Senador wala din namang pinagkaiba. So patas lang sila.

@TriFateYT This guy must not buy farm fresh corn in the US. Corn came from the Americas, including the Western States. They grow really amazing corn, so either this guy is has never bought farm fresh corn back home or he is faking it.

@_bim2_ Why are the Cayetano block neglecting their work? Why are they boycotting the plenary that they are duty bound to attend? If they attended the plenary today, their votes would have been registered?

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@_bim2_ yes. in 2015, there were at least 2 instances when 12 was the quorum number. Also in the Avelino vs Cuenco case in 1947, the SC upheld the the quorum of 12 since there were only 23 Senators that can be compelled to vote, the 24th was outside the jurisdiction of the country

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@UnbowedVP Nope, there is clear precedent -- members who are in jail are dropped from the roll (Enrile, Revilla, Estrada, DeLima, Trillanes). Plus, simple majority of Senators present on the floor can vote to vacate Committee chairmanship and elect new Chairs.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@komashkeeyo may precedent na po, dropped sa roll ang mga nakakulong na Senador -- Revilla, Estrada, Enrile, Trillanes at DeLima. So wala na sa roll si Estrada.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@vjm0906 @elcobeovdmc @News5PH Sa pagpapalit po ng Committee Chairmanship, simple majority lang po ng mga nasa plenaryo. yon po ang nasa Senate rule. SP lang ang kailangan ng 13 votes, kaya nga SP pa rin si Cayetano, lame duck nga lang.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@vjm0906 @elcobeovdmc @News5PH bilang naman silang nagboycott at nagtatago, 12 out of 23. Si Estrada lang ang di binilang kasi nakakulong na. Nakakatawa naman yang nagboycott tapos gustong habulin sila. Ano po yon, patawa?

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@vjm0906 @elcobeovdmc @News5PH paano po hindi naging applicable. pakilatag ng iyong argument.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@elcobeovdmc @News5PH kung saan 12 ang majority out of the 17 Senators na nasa plenary.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@elcobeovdmc @News5PH baka ang ibig n'yong sabihin ay precedent. Meron na pong precedent sa ating kasaysayan. Isa ay ang kaso na tinawag na Avelino vs Cuenco sa SC (1947), kung saan kinilala ng SC na legal na majority ang 12 dahil kulang sa 24 ang mga Senador. Pangalawang precendent ay noong 2015 1/

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@jfangs90 @News5PH wala na bang mas tatanga pang comment? basa ka ng kasaysayan ng Senate para naman di ka gaano magmukhang tanga.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@mediatorkundesu spreading disinformation is a crime in some context and should be punished. if a Rep identified with the legit opposition is caught doing the same thing, same rules should apply.Society cannot function when you allow disinformation unpunished, especially coming from a politician

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@GrandAvenger0 @IvanAtHome @bongbongmarcos sa language mo, hindi ako magtatakang DDS ka. "It wasn't meant to downplay" -- that's a cop out after you were caught with your pants down. Your first unsolicited comment is most reflective of your true stance on the issue.

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@GrandAvenger0 @IvanAtHome @bongbongmarcos like you who gloss over their transgressions and crimes against the people

[Marissa @mpolotan]

@GrandAvenger0 @IvanAtHome @bongbongmarcos oh wow, the language of someone who lost the plot. Maybe you should have read the whole post to see point of my response.
And no the Constitution is not the reason why we are in this shit. We are in this shit because of politicians like the Marcoses, the Dutertes and people 1/
