Naniniwala ang isang senador na napapanahon na para payagan ang online participation sa sesyon sa Senado at magampanan ang kanilang tungkulin. Para naman sa mga miyembro ng minorya, mas maraming negatibong epekto ang teleconferencing.


‘HINDI BA KAMI MGA MATURE NA TAO, NA PAG-USAPAN NAMIN ITO… BAKIT KA MAGWA-WALK OUT?’ WATCH: Senator Rodante Marcoleta criticizes the minority for walking out of the session hall during debates on his motion seeking to allow senators’ online participation in sessions. Meanwhile, Marcoleta refused to comment on the precautionary hold departure order issued against him by the Sandiganbayan in connection with plunder and indirect bribery complaints tied to an alleged P75-million campaign donation | @eimorpsantos

‘SAYANG, ANG GANDA PA NAMAN NG DEBATE’ WATCH: Senator Robin Padilla said it was unfortunate that minority senators walked out in the middle of the debate over a motion seeking to allow the remote participation of senators in sessions. Asked about Senator Erwin Tulfo’s remark that the proposed amendment in Senate rules was being railroaded for the benefit of senators who could end up in jail, Padilla replied: “’Wag naman kayo ganyan magsalita.” | @eimorpsantos

WHO NOW MAKES UP THE SENATE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE? The Senate has unveiled the new lineup of the Blue Ribbon Committee, the powerful panel that leads investigations into alleged corruption and misuse of public funds. Sen. Pia Cayetano will chair the committee, while Senators Jinggoy Estrada and Rodante Marcoleta were elected as vice chairpersons. The committee’s new composition comes as the Senate undergoes major leadership and committee changes following the May 11 shakeup in the chamber. FULL STORY: philstar.com/headlines/2026…


'NAPAKASAKIT NO'N SA'MIN!' Naglabas ng hinanakit si Sen. Pia Cayetano dahil sa hindi umano pangangamusta ng minority sa mga senador na naipit sa putukan sa Senado noong Miyerkules, May 20. "Pagkatapos ng lahat, pagtingin ko [sa] dating majority group... I didn't even hear any of you say, 'Kumusta na kayo diyan?'" emosyonal na pahayag ng senadora.


‘MAY INVITATIONS TO TALK, MAY PANANAKOT’ Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano claims the Senate minority bloc is working to persuade some members of the majority to join them in setting the stage for another leadership change.
