Can I just say... Lately I'm feeling hopeless for the country. If you read through comments, ang daming taong galit sa mga katulad ni SenRi na ginagawa ng maayos ang trabaho nila. Makes me wonder saan sya humuhugot ng lakas to continue fighting even for people who don't like her.

Remove yourself from the table when respect is no longer served.

The temp was nearly 32°c today across most parts of the UK 🇬🇧.
But guess what, no matter how hot it gets, Bro you can't just jump into the bathroom and put on the Cold Shower on yourself.

You can't! 😀

Para sa akin talaga, hindi totga si VP Leni. I mean, look at the power! In 2022-early 2025, when she was not in government, she created Angat Buhay. Since 2025, she's been showing us how much can be done in less than a year. Naga City is her showcase. She's the second most visited woman in Naga (after Ina); politicians make a pilgrimage to her for good publicity. Even BBM visited Leni in Naga. He didn't summon her to Malacañang, he went to Naga himself. Now that's power!

This will be interesting: 9 vs. 11+2?

The Supreme Court may now have to either strengthen or narrow the use of Avelino v. Cuenco 1943 as precedent.

If the Court sides with the Cayetano bloc, then Avelino may be weakened or limited to its older factual context: senators who were physically abroad or outside the Senate’s practical reach.

But if the Court sides with the Gatchalian bloc, then Avelino becomes stronger. It would confirm that “unable to participate” does not only mean being abroad. It can also include senators who are practically, legally, or logistically unable to take part in Senate proceedings.

That said, the Cayetano bloc may be risking a lot for very little practical gain.

--- himayin natin ---

First, only 9 senators signed the petition. Politically, that says a lot.

It suggests that the Gatchalian side may already have a possible maximum of 13 senators: the Gatchalian 11, plus Chiz Escudero, plus Joel Villanueva.

If those 13 show up in the special session tomorrow and vote for Gatchalian as Senate President, then the leadership question becomes much harder for Cayetano to reverse. The Senate Presidency would be settled on the floor, by actual 13 votes, making much of the petition’s practical effect moot (or useless)

Second, even if the June 3 session is nullified, what actually gets undone? Not much.

No law was passed since June 3

No major committee machinery was fully constituted in a way that cannot be redone since the minority senators were unparticipative - so again useless.

No irreversible legislative act appears to have taken place.

The only item affected would be Adopted Resolution No. 48, which amended Rule II of the impeachment trial rules to allow the election of a presiding officer in impeachment cases not involving the President.

HOWEVER, If that gets voided, the new majority can simply re-file it, re-read it, re-vote it, and adopt it again.

As for the Blue Ribbon issue, that was disputed precisely because one side called it a hearing while the other treated it as a meeting or gathering.

Either way, it does not seem to create the kind of irreversible Senate action that changes the power equation.

So what is the real upside for Cayetano?
Practically nothing

Even if Cayetano wins a technical ruling, he may still lose the Senate Presidency the moment the Gatchalian 11+2 appear and vote. The bloc can cure the problem politically, on the floor, faster than the Court can resolve it judicially.

That is why the petition feels more like a defensive political move than a path back to power.

At best, it delays.

At worst, it gives the Supreme Court a chance to strengthen Avelino against them.

Either way, Cayetano still has the same problem:
He needs the votes.

And right now, the numbers do not seem to be on his side.

This is the more applicable provision:

Section 10. All courts existing at the time of the ratification of this Constitution shall continue to exercise their jurisdiction, until otherwise provided by law. The provisions of the existing Rules of Court, JUDICIARY ACTS (aka past SC decisions), and procedural laws not inconsistent with this Constitution shall remain operative unless amended or repealed by the Supreme Court or the Congress.

Alam niyo honestly, it doesn’t matter kung totoo o hindi ‘yung allegations. The moment na banggitin na mga pangalan, good as guilty na yan sa mata ng facebook citizens. ‘Yun naman ang gusto lang gawin ng hearing na ‘to. To sow chaos.

Imagine ah:

✅ 3 Former Senate Presidents with 8 years of experience in total being as Senate Presidents has spoken that it is lawful and within the Rules of The Senate

✅ The Lower House of Congress (House of Representatives) recognizing its lawfulness

✅ The Malacañang Palace (Executive) recognizing its lawfulness

✅ A landmark Supreme Court precedent that was used multiple times in the Senate Plenary

✅ The Integrated Bar of The Philippines saying its lawful

Ano pa ba kulang para paniwalaan ng lahat na quorum can be 12, if the active Senate membership is 23.

“Mabuhay ka” Zubiri tells the man who usurped him for the senate presidency, Escudero, standing next the man who usurped HIM, Sotto.

Three former Senate Presidents averted a Constitutional Crisis today. They are not perfect men, but today they are true Filipinos. 🇵🇭

[Nico B. Valderrama @nbvneverquits]

You cannot invoke the Constitution only when it is convenient.

When you prevent the Senate from functioning as mandated by the Constitution, you violate the Constitution.

When you refuse to convene the Senate for three consecutive days, you violate the Constitution.

Do not dare ask to be rescued by the very Constitution you violated.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Absolute disrespect for the Filipino people. What entitlement.

Mag-boycott tayo.
Huwag mag trabaho.
Hayaan natin ang mga nakabinbing panukala.

Mga senador, binabayaran kayo ng taumbayan. Pambabastos ito sa Pilipino.

[Jayter @pauljayter]

hello

[Seby @simp4jhomikha]

Nah, man. If you look at it, sobrang chef’s kiss ng composition ng new minority.

Veteran senators in Senators Kiko, Tito, Bam, Risa, JV, Ping, Win, and JV.

Two of the newer ones who happen to be good at speaking when needed and have the spine to stand up in the Tulfo brothers.

You have a lawyer in Sen. Kiko, a former PNP chief in Sen. Ping, two members of the media in the Tulfo brothers, a statesman who is focusing on education in Sen. Bam, a Mindanao representation in Sen. Migz, the former SP in Sen. Sotto, a good committee head in Sen. Win, and a progressive in Risa Hontiveros.

🚨JUST IN: Robredo-Tulfo tandem beats Duterte-Marcos tandem in a March 2026 survey by OCTA Research group.

This is the first time that Leni Robredo beats Sara Duterte in a survey – but this one is with hypothetical tandems.

I strongly support a President Leni Robredo and Vice President Raffy Tulfo tandem.

Good Governance, Aksyon Agad, at Angat Buhay ang ihahatid sa LAHAT NG PILIPINO.

Much work needs to be done reaching out to voters from Mindanao and the poorest of the poor (Class E).

But this is a good sign that even if Sara Duterte survives the impeachment (which she won’t), she is very much beatable in 2028.

And wala pang ₱6.77 Billion Pesos reveal ng AMLC reports nuong March ah. What more if the survey was done now!

Don’t be disheartened by the Senate coup and Bato Dela Rosa na makapal ang mukha maging pugante.

We can’t win all battles. But we are winning the war.

And we shall work to win the war.

Puksain ang kasamaang sisira sa demokrasya at kultura ng Pamilyang Pilipino.

Puksain ang ta-traydor sa bansa at magbebenta sa atin sa Tsina, drug lords, and oligarchs.

Puksain at talunin ang Pamilyang Duterte sa pulitika. 👊
