Tangina ganitong mentality lang naman sana mga tanders. Kaninong tita to? Pakiyakap ng mahigpit. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

Bakit laging bloody ang script? Impeachment trial ito, hindi action movie. Ang tanong ng taumbayan: sasagutin ba ang ebidensya o puro drama na lang?

[rese 🍀 @resepolitika]

please lang po kailangan aware tayong hindi dapat maging normal ang mababang sahod, mahal na bilihin, at kulang na serbisyo publiko. kapag nasanay tayong tiisin ang lahat ng ito, mas lalo lamang nagiging komportable ang mga dapat managot sa kanilang kapabayaan.

Taena. Philippines, now you see why Diokno should have been a Senator.

Iyong intelligence, iyong statemanship, iyong fundamental understanding of what a public office means—in full display with this slice of his appearance before the court.

Spain being more progressive than the nations it conquered. The countries you have colonised are stuck with the values you have left them hundreds of years ago.

Wow it’s almost like “tough on crime” doesn’t actually work and you have to address the root causes

As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.

eh di mag resign ka na punyeta ka talaga

[Leila de Lima @manayleila]

Excuse me, Sen. Robin. Huwag nyo nga akong gamitin sa baluktot nyong naratibo. Acquitted na ako sa hinarap kong mga gawa-gawang kaso. Napakalayo ng sitwasyon ko sa pinasakay mong fugitive from justice na si Sen. Bato.

Saka neutralizing drug lords talaga? Sabihin nya yan sa pamilya ng libo-libong biktima ng EJK. Ipaliwanag nya yan sa ICC.

[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.

[Karen Davila @iamkarendavila]

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder.

This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers…

Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino.
Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control.
Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan.

Get out of your bubble. Please.

Tangina camille villar anong iniiyak iyak mong puta ka???

It puts food on his family’s table and keeps a roof over their heads. Any job is better than posting lame takes online for a couple of dollars from a blue tick.

[Chel Diokno @ChelDiokno]

Hindi impressive ang legal background kung ginagamit lang sa pangmamaliit. Mas nakakabahala ang may alam sa batas pero pinipiling baluktutin ito.

[James @MrJamesKe]

The saddest thing in politics is watching citizens defend the same system that keeps failing them.

[risa hontiveros @risahontiveros]

Ang Minority ay patuloy na maninindigan! #SolidBloc11 ✊🏼

[raffy magno @raffymagno]

Anim na buwan na hindi nagtrabaho habang sumisweldo. Tapos ngayon naman gustong mag-fulltime na work from home?

Hiyang-hiya naman ang mga minimum wage earners sa Pilipinas sa’yo, Sen!

Taumbayan ang nagpapa-sweldo sainyo. Kahit konting kahihiyan man lang sana.

JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT

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.
