No longer shall they be known simply as the Solid Bloc.
Henceforth, let them be known as The INDOMITABLE ELEVEN
Eleven who would not bend the rules to suit the moment.
Eleven who would not break their resolve &
Eleven who stood their ground when it mattered.

@kikopangilinan Napakawalang MODO mo. Lagi mong dinadaan ang lahat sa sigaw. Pati si Senator Loren pinatos mo.

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.

Clearly, disinformation has no place in this chamber. The sowing of intrigues has no place in this plenary hall. Fake news has no place in this plenary hall. And I say this by presenting the facts.
This representation was Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments from August 12 until May 11. And the records will speak for itself. Sabi nga nila, we should seek the truth from the facts and not from disinformation video propaganda.
What are the facts from August 12 until May 11? The Committee on Constitutional Amendments never held hearings on Constitutional Change — that in itself is proof. That is “haka-haka,” this conspiracy to commit or to amend the Constitution for whatever reason: self-serving, term extension, no-el, etc. These are lies.
In this plenary hall and in this chamber, the Senate did not entertain Charter Change under my watch as Chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments — for the record. And I support the striking off the record — that it be stricken off the record.

‘AKBAYAN READY FOR RISA 2028’
LOOK: Akbayan says it is ready to support a possible 2028 presidential bid of Senator Risa Hontiveros, citing growing calls for her to become the democratic opposition’s standard-bearer. The party stopped short of announcing a formal candidacy. | @AprBenjaminINQ

@CleveArguelles That's 0.06% of voting population. Lol walang paki

More than 45,000 verified signatures (and still growing!) only a day after the #CayetanoResign petition started. Senator Alan Peter Cayetano can still choose to resign before, our fingers are crossed, his fellow Senators possibly oust as Senate President in their session later today. You ca still add your name to the petition: change.org/cayetanoresign

Join our petition urging Senate to choose a new Senate President: We call for the resignation of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano as Senate President and urge our Senators to choose new leadership worthy of the institution they serve. The Senate presidency is not an ordinary political

Sen. Francis Escudero and at least three other senators were supposedly prepared to abandon the Senate majority bloc and join the camp of former Senate President Vicente Sotto III in a fresh leadership realignment aimed at unseating Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano from the chamber’s top post.

#Independent means may paninindigan, but never indifferent.
I abstained so I can keep a free hand on issues that matter to our people. But on the organization of the Senate, my position is clear: I associate myself with the #SenateMinority. #SenadoPH
