SOLID BLOC 11: ALAN PETER CAYETANO RESIGN!
What happened today was a clear abandonment of responsibility, a dereliction of duty, and a blatant disregard of the rules that govern this institution, because the Senate cannot be made to stop working simply because its presiding officer refuses to lead.
Under Rule XIV, Sec. 41 of the Rules of the Senate, the Senate President may postpone the holding of the session AFTER consultation with the Majority Leader AND the Minority Leader. That rule was violated. This is not merely a procedural lapse—it is a direct violation of the Rules of the Senate and a serious disrespect for the institution and the Filipino people.
Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano SHOULD RESIGN as he has shown that he cannot function as the leader of the Senate.
⚠️ Dahil ayaw dumating ng Du-13 Majority, nasa alanganin at baka hindi mapasa:
(1) Impt. bills including Magna Carta for Brgy. Health Workers ni Sen. Risa
(2) Citizenship bills nina Bennie Boatwright and Matthew Ramos, at
(3) Promotion ng mga Generals.
Shame on you APC! 🤮
🚨 Robin Padilla says “the present Senate leadership is fighting for sovereignty” when in reality they are only fighting for murderers like Duterte and Bato Dela Rosa.
They are not pro-Philippines.
They are only pro-Duterte. 🤮
#Du13#Tsinators
Imagine a Sara Duterte presidency with the Senate under her control.
Partida hindi pa siya Presidente ngayon pero para bang kontrolado niya ang Senado.
Imagine an insane, corrupt, abusive, and a violent person in the most powerful seat in the Philippines — WITHOUT GUARDRAILS.
So, kapag Senador ang nagpakalat ng fake news during a regular Senate session, ganun na lang po yun, motion to be stricken off the record? No other penalty? Walang reprimand?
Akala ko po as public servants you're held to a higher standard?
Or that's just plain lip service?
