Did the new minority file a petition to the SC regarding the 12-member quorum? I’m so sick of seeing ‘disputed’ all over social media as if there’s no presumption of regularity.
Alan Peter, yield the floor.
Interestingly, every Senate President since the 16th Congress, save Cayetano, has affirmed the validity of the 12-member quorum, three of them part of that quorum as sitting senators.
Sulod lagi mo panagsa.
The Constitution is clear and does not leave room for interpretation.
The Senate is composed of 24 Senators, and a majority of 13 constitutes a quorum to do business.
13 votes to constitute a quorum.
13 votes to elect officers.
A void election cannot create valid authority.
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.
whoa let’s slow down… populism brought duterte in power—matter of fact, populism is the reason why we’re in this shithole in the first place
props to the tulfo brothers but let’s refrain from thinking populism is a good thing
My god! Ang ganda ng narrative. Hate the Tulfos but their journalistic background rlly help them in narrative building na hindi mapalabok.
A part of me thinks populism is the key to win 2028. Like marami tayong ideals pero we are pressed for time.
extinct species reemerging in the philippines is my drag path. grabe, despite all the people in power corrupting every place where these animals and plants could thrive, their eagerness to exist is a beautiful protest to the modern world. sana talaga mamamatay na mga kurakot 🥹
