*Solid Bloc 12: Sen. Alan Cayetano is no longer Senate President*
For clarity, Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano is no longer Senate President after the Senate, with 12 senators present and a quorum declared based on the recognized base number of 22 under Avelino v. Cuenco, voted to declare all positions vacant, including the presidency of the institution.
Hindi pa lamang naihahalal si Sen. Win Gatchalian bilang bagong Senate President dahil kailangan pa ng 13 boto sa ilalim ng Konstitusyon. Pero ito ang malinaw at mahalaga ngayon: bakante na ang lahat ng posisyon, tapos na ang dating liderato at dapat magpatuloy ang trabaho ng Senado para sa taumbayan.

I have the same stance na pala since 2021.
This was when a collegemate asked why I was working in the government during the height of ATL, ABS-CBN Shutdown etc
: “So all 3,500 people who died are drug dealers?”
: “Yes?”
: “How do you know that?”
PAKAHUSAY NG INTERVIEWER DITO HA TALAGANG SUPALPAL SI ALAN PETER CAYETANO EH 😭😭😭
Nanunuod at nakikinig ang mga kabataan. We see what is happening, and we will remember the decisions and actions being made today.
Darating ang 2028, and many people will use their voices and votes to demand better leadership and accountability for the country.
