Timely reminder: the primary authors of the 2021 law of the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs) โare Senator PIA Cayetano, Ralph Recto and Imee Marcos in the Senate.
Only three Philippine senatorsโFranklin Drilon, RISA Hontiveros, and Francis "Kiko" Pangilinanโvoted against the POGO law in 2021.
ANONG BASURA NA EBIDENSYA YAN NA MAY PICTURE?
Puro pasaring. Puro alegasyon. Puro palabas.
At dahil dinamay niyo pa ang pamilya ko, makakatikim kayo ng hindi pasaring, alegasyon, o palabas na kaso sa korte. Pananagutan ninyo ang paninirang ginagawa niyo.

โTHE SENATE SESSION OF JUNE 3, 2026 WAS LAWFUL AND VALID'
READ: The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) issues a statement on what constitutes a legitimate quorum for the Senate to conduct official business following the June 3 Senate session, saying the 1949 Avelino v. Cuenco ruling is applicable.
โOne senator cannot be compelled to attend the session because he is detained in relation to a non-bailable offense. While another senator cannot be found, as in fact, his whereabouts appear to be unknown since May 11, 2026,โ it reads.
โAs such, they were excluded from the count of the members used to determine quorum.โ | ๐ท: IBP
This shouldnโt go unnoticed:
the Secretary refused to call the roll, forcing Sen. Sherwin Gatchalian to tap the Deputy Secretary for Legislation to proceed.
Whoโs this guy?

Ang tungkulin natin ay maglingkod at magtrabaho. Kailangang ibalik ang direksyon ng Senado matapos itong hindi makapagsagawa ng sesyon sa loob ng tatlong araw.
Naghihintay na ng solusyon ang ating mga kababayan sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na problema. May mga panukalang batas na nabinbin at mga isyung kailangang talakayin.
Inaabot ko ang aking kamay sa lahat ng Senador, majority man o minority, na magkaisa para sa iisang layunin.
Ibabalik natin ang dignidad ng institusyong ito sa gawa at hindi sa salita.
โKINILALA NA PO NATIN ANG LIDERATO NI ACTING SENATE PRESIDENT SHERWIN GATCHALIANโ
Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary Claire Castro reiterated that the Palace recognizes the leadership of acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian.
โโYung internal problems ng Senado dapat sila muna ang mag-sort out, sila ang mag-settle ng anumang kinapapalooban ng Senado,โ she said on Thursday.
โAs far as the Palace is concerned, kinilala na po natin ang liderato ni acting Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian. Kung anuman po ang ibibigay na mensahe sa ehekutibo โyun po ang ating kikilalanin,โ Castro added.

We MUST ensure that no Cayetanos, Villars, Padillas, Marcoletas, Marcoses, and Legardas will win in the 2028 elections.
We have seen firsthand how political dynasties stunt our political development, deprive us of any meaningful change.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. HINDI NA PWEDE โTO.

Nagpapasalamat tayo sa ating mga kasamahan sa Senado sa muling pagtitiwala bilang Chairperson ng Senate Committee on Agriculture, Food, and Agrarian Reform.
Maraming nakaabang na trabaho. Kumakalam ang sikmura ng ating mga kababayan, at nanganganib ang kabuhayan ng ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda dahil sa Super El Niรฑo.
Makapaghihintay ang pulitika, pero ang gutom hindi.
Patuloy ang ating laban para sa ating mga magsasaka at mangingisda, at para sa mas abot-kayang pagkain para sa bawat pamilyang Pilipino. ๐ต๐ญ
Sa mga nagsasabi na troll o ginagamit lang ng politiko ito:
Mark was my classmate in Senior High School. Heโs a bright, independent-minded person who understands Philippine politics well. Hindi yan magpapagamit sa kahit sinong politiko.
@mvn_dn@dumidyeypee@gmanews@ABSCBNNews@TV5manila news team dapat nagwalkout.
You are covering their political stunt tapos bayaran kayo? You allow yourselves to be used in their narrative and give them platform para palabasin they are the legitimate BRC
We thank Senator Chiz for his courage in placing the Senate, the Constitution and the nation first.
The Senate must go back to work and serve our people with our utmost.
We thank our colleagues for their trust in electing me Chairperson of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
We appeal to our other colleagues in the majority bloc to follow Sen. Chizโ lead and throw their support behind Acting Senate President Win Gatchalian and together let us restore our peopleโs faith in the Senate as an institution.
