𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗚-𝗔𝗔𝗕𝗨𝗦𝗢 𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗘𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗠𝗔𝗝𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗬 Tinawag ni dating Senate President Franklin Drilon na “tyranny of majority” at pang-aabuso ang pagtatangka ng mayorya na agad mapagbotohan ang mosyon ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta na amiyendahan ang rules sa paglahok sa sesyon via teleconferencing.

“Hindi pwede ‘yan! Walang Committee on Rules, walang miyembro, tapos diretso agad sa plenary?!” Tinutulan ni Sen. Ping Lacson ang panukalang pag-amyenda sa Senate rules para payagan ang virtual attendance at electronic voting (push ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta).Bakit? Walang pang Committee on Rules! Matapos ang recent leadership shake-up, lahat ng committees kasama na ang Rules Committee ay vacated. Walang miyembro. Zero. Diretso agad sa plenary? Normal na proseso: Dapat ipasa muna sa Committee on Rules, pag-usapan, mag-conduct ng hearing, tapos maglabas ng committee report bago dalhin sa buong Senado. Hindi ‘yung bigla na lang ibabato sa floor. Diretsahan niyang tinanong si Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano: “Has the committee on rules been constituted?” At binigyang-diin: “The committee on rules has no members because we vacated.” Kahit si Senate President Cayetano mismo, noon pa, ang sabi ay i-refer muna sa Rules Committee para proper study. Ang argumento ni Lacson: Mukhang disregarding na talaga ng majority ang mga committees ng Senado. Dahil dito, nag-walk out ang buong Senate Minority Bloc (kasama si Sen. Tito Sotto) dahil sa tingin nila, hindi na orderly deliberation ang nangyayari kundi “tyranny of the majority”, pinupush agad ang isang malaking pagbabago sa rules nang walang tamang proseso.Bottomline: Hindi naman raw nila totally tinatanggi ang virtual attendance. Gusto lang nila sundin ang tamang proseso. Kasi kapag ginawa mong shortcut ang pag-amyenda sa rules ng Senado, ano pa ang silbi ng mga safeguards? Parang niluluto agad ang isda nang hindi man lang nililinis. #SenateSession #LacsonSpeaks #WalkOut

Must read. Note that Trump uses leverage whenever and wherever he can. To autocrats, the use of power is an end, not just means. The exception with Trump is always Russia.

BINANATAN SI MARCOLETA Muling binanatan ni Sen. Erwin Tulfo ang aniya’y “ad hominem” na pagkuwestiyon ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta tungkol sa legal background ni Sen. Risa Hontiveros. "You're attacking the individual, 'yung kaniyang character or what. You should attack 'yung kaniyang issue. 'Wag niyang sasabihin na wala kang legal background," saad ni Sen. Tulfo. “Sen. Hontiveros has been in the Senate for 12 years,” dagdag pa niya.

‘BINABA NILA NANG BINABA ‘YUNG STANDARD’ Binatikos ni dating senador Antonio Trillanes IV ang aniya’y Duterte senators dahil sa pagbalahura at pagbaba umano ng pamantayan sa institusyon. "Noong pumasok sila diyan simula noong 2019, ganoon na. Pababa na nang pababa 'yung standard," saad ng dating senador sa programang "Sa Totoo Lang" ng One PH. Hindi rin daw tumupad sa campaign promises ang mga naturang senador. "Kumbaga, lokohan eh. Kaya ngayon, nandiyan sila sa Senado. What do you expect from them? Talagang puro fake news, puro panloloko," dagdag niya.

Bakit ko alam to ? Eh ako yung Minority Leader eh hindi ako member ng Committee on rules. ex officio eh tumawag ba ? Hindi. Ano to binabraso? -Tito Sen

BOBO si MARCOLETA . Pinagyabang abogago sya? Basta DDS BOBO talaga

Grabe! Lahat may kaso?

The Old book said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.” — Genesis 4:10 (NKJV) The Supreme Court had already recognized the scale of the killings In his concurring opinion, Justice Caguioa emphasized that in Almora v. Dela Rosa, the Court itself previously acknowledged: “a total of 20,322 deaths” during the anti-drug campaign from July 1, 2016 to November 27, 2017. This translates to: Roughly “40 lives violently taken every day.” For Caguioa, these were not abstract numbers but human lives lost on a massive scale.

Sa school nyo ba pwede bumoto ang mga absent?

The U.S. lost its ability to protest against any Russian policy with the ascent of Trump. What hold does the Kremlin have on Trump?

Akbayan Party strongly condemns the despicable attempt by the bloc of Alan Peter Cayetano to railroad amendments to Senate rules that would legalize “fugitive-and-jail voting” for senators who are actively evading the law or imprisoned in connection with corruption charges. The proposal is obviously a self-serving move, designed to shore up Cayetano’s increasingly fragile hold on the Senate presidency by enabling the likes of internationally wanted fugitive Bato Dela Rosa to participate in Senate voting, and anticipating the possibility that members of the majority bloc may themselves face arrest and imprisonment over plunder and other serious corruption cases. No online voting for a wanted fugitive senator! No online voting for soon-to-be jailed senators accused of plunder!

‘[SI MARCOLETA] NA MISMO ANG NAGPATUNAY NA MAHINA ANG KANYANG ARGUMENTO’ Pumalag si Sen. Risa Hontiveros sa patutsada ni Sen. Rodante Marcoleta tungkol sa kawalan umano niya ng legal background sa gitna ng sesyon nitong Martes, May 26. Nagdebate sina Hontiveros at Marcoleta tungkol sa isinusulong ng Senate majority na pagbabago sa rules para payagan ang online voting para sa mga absent na senador. “Sa halip na tumutok sa merits o demerits ng panukala niyang pagbabago sa rules, bababa siya sa pag-insulto sa pagkatao ng kadebate niya," saad ni Hontiveros sa panayam sa “Gud Morning Kapatid. "Siya na mismo ang nagpatunay na mahina ‘yung kanyang argumento,” dagdag pa niya.

**JOINT STATEMENT ON THE SENATE MINORITY WALKOUT** May 26, 2026 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. #SB11 #SolidBloc

The natural EU response to Russia’s threat to bomb their embassies in Kyiv systematically would be to expel all Russian diplomats in Europe and end diplomatic relations with Russia, declaring it a terror state.

What a joke. Russia has already been systematically bombing Ukrainian cities in terrorist attacks for years. There will be more, but this appeal to the US is nothing more than an attempt to keep Kremlin loyalist Trump involved to Russia’s benefit.

Selective ang tapang ni Marcoleta — kay Sen. Risa lang niya kayang maging condescending kasi babae. Hindi niya kayang gawin ‘yan kina Lacson, Tito Sotto, at sa mga Tulfo.😉
