Nakakalungkot. That’s what happens when concern and opinion don’t align with them—gusto agad patahimikin. Nasanay na ako. Oo, Bisaya ko, pero Pilipino rin akong may karapatang magsalita at magpahayag ng saloobin. Masakit magbayad ng buwis tapos ganito ang nakikita natin. Hindi po tayo ang magkakalaban. Pare-pareho lang tayong mamamayan. Wala tayong kapangyarihang tulad nila, kaya sana dili mu mangaway oi. Murag mga bata naman ning uban ba. Kung unsa imong ganahan edi okay. Ako mao man ni ako ganahan. Pasagdii.

Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano reveals that the minority bloc is “busy” trying to get some majority senators to join them for another leadership change.
“Expected naman ‘yan,” he said when asked about fresh coup rumors.
MATIBAG SA POSIBILIDAD NA WALA NA SI SEN. BATO SA SENADO
Ikalulungkot daw ni National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Director Atty. Melvin Matibag kung totoong nakaalis na sa Senado si Sen. Bato dela Rosa matapos ang komosyon nitong Miyerkules, May 13.
Nauna nang kinumpirma ng Senate secretariat sa isang senador na lumabas si Sen. Bato bandang 2:30 a.m. ngayong Huwebes, May 14.
"Ang amin pong usapan diyan should be honored dahil naniniwala ako na ang ating mga kagalang-galang na senador, sila po ang humingi ng ganun at ang pagkakaalam naman natin, poprotektahan nila hindi lang po si Sen. Bato kundi ‘yung ating mga batas at Konstitusyon na umiiral," saad ni Atty. Matibag.
WHY DID ONLY MAJORITY SENATORS REMAIN INSIDE THE SENATE?
Sen. Erwin Tulfo said Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano changed a planned all-member caucus on Wednesday, May 13, into a majority-only meeting, which is why minority senators had already left the premises when gunshots rang out in the Senate.

@SenImeeMarcos Baliktad po yata. Karamihan po sa inyo ang malinaw na nambabastos sa mga Pilipino at sa Pilipinas at tahasang inaabuso ang inyong tungkulin para sa sariling kapakanan.
Malinaw na pambabastos sa institusyon ng Senado ang nangyari, kawalan ng galang sa mga senador, at tahasang pang-aabuso sa kapangyarihan ng mga halang ang sikmura.
Sa gitna ng isyu at tensyon na nangyayari sa ating bansa, ano ang pinagdarasal mo sa Pilipinas?

DUTERTE: ‘NAGKAKAGULO TAYO DAHIL KAY BBM’

Chaos, guns fired inside the Senate building. Checked my staff, they’re all safe. Thank God no reports of casualties or injuries. Next thing to do is investigate to find out who fired his/their gun/s, at whom and most importantly, the motive.
PAG-ALINGAWNGAW NG PUTOK NG BARIL SA SENADO
Nagkaroon ng komosyon sa Senado matapos marinig ang putukan na hinihinalang mula sa pagitan ng mga armadong uniformed personnel sa loob ng building gabi ngayong Miyerkules, May 13.
Hellow, IBANG-IBA naman ang kaso ni Sen. Bato kina Sen. De Lima at Sen. Trillanes noon! SARILING KORTE natin dito sa PILIPINAS ang humawak at humatol sa mga kaso ng mga dating senador, hindi itong banyagang ICC na hindi na nga natin kinasasapian.
'MAY KONTING KABASTUSAN'
WATCH: Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano slammed as “disrespectful” the resolution filed by five senators urging Senator Ronald dela Rosa to surrender to authorities.
The resolution was signed by Senators Vicente 'Tito' Sotto, Panfilo 'Ping' Lacson, Risa Hontiveros, Kiko Pangilinan, and Bam Aquino.
Cayetano argued that the move appeared aimed at preventing Dela Rosa from entering the Senate, noting that critics previously wanted him to appear before the chamber but are now calling for his surrender. He stressed that Dela Rosa should first exhaust all legal remedies in local courts and remains under Senate custody in accordance with the Constitution.
The Senate chief also warned that the resolution could end up before the Ethics Committee instead of the Rules Committee, saying attempts to block Dela Rosa’s Senate access may constitute a violation. | via Jojo Sicat, Abante

@ABSCBNNews@JohnsonManabat Duterte is not Philippines so stop that nonsense. Pag mamahal sa Duterte o takot sa pananagutan is enough reason. Tang ina mo ka.
Sabi ni Sen. Bong Go, personal ang mga naging kuwentuhan nila ni Sen. Ronald dela Rosa at kaya ito naiyak ay dahil sa pagmamahal sa bayan at sa mga Pilipino. | via @JohnsonManabat
Sinubukang makipag-kamay ni Sen. Kiko Pangilinan kay Sen. Robin Padilla nang magkalapit sila habang naka-suspend ang sesyon ng Senado pero hindi nito inabot ang kamay ng kapwa senador. | via @JohnsonManabat
‘WALA KAMING DAPAT IKATAKOT SA IMPEACHMENT’
WATCH: Senator Robin Padilla maintained that impeachment was not a factor in the move to unseat Tito Sotto as Senate President.
Asked why he saw the need to replace Sotto, Padilla said he had to go with Senator Bato dela Rosa’s vote because they are allies and partymates.
“Pulitika ito e, wala tayong magagawa. PDP ako,” he said | @eimorpsantos
@iampinglacson@gmanews@nimfaravelo Ganon na din yun sir. Personal interes ang kay prinsipyo ni legarda hindi para sa katotohanan. Isa may anak siya na hinahabol na rin ng batas kaya kailangan magpakapal ng mukha🤪🤪🤪
@gmanews@nimfaravelo Hindi ito accurate. I even emphasized that the whole point is not Sen Loren joining the majority, but her failure to inform Sen Sotto even at the last minute prior to the leadership change. Tito deserves that courtesy, especially from her, an original member of our group.
Mga bagong kasapi ng Senate Minority bloc, masama ang loob kay Senate President Pro Tempore Loren Legarda dahil sumama ito sa bagong Majority Bloc, ayon kay Sen. Ping Lacson. | via @nimfaravelo
