**JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT**
May 26, 2026
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.

Made it my life’s mission to become the Taliban’s worst nightmare:
A highly educated Afghan woman.
First, Columbia University at the top of my class, and now Oxford University.
Give Afghan girls one chance and see what they can achieve.
"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."
In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

26,617 trees to be cut. That’s a forest. Anyway this is what red mountain of Surigao del Sur looks like. Palawan’s future, I’m telling you. In other countries, the rehab monitoring agency is separate from the bureau of mines. Food for thought.
Dear President Bongbong Marcos,
Dear DENR Secretary Atty. Mitch Cuna,
Dear Mayor Isko Moreno,
Please please please, I’m begging you to stop the cutting of trees along Roxas Blvd. and Quirino Avenue.
200+ trees have been cut. 400+ trees can still be saved.
Kung kelangan talaga, gastusan ang earth balling or transfer of the trees.
Basta NO CUTTING.
May fun runs at Carless Sunday dyan sa Roxas Boulevard nuon. Tapos aalisin nyo mga puno?
Maawa kayo, please. 🙏
