SENATOR ALAN CAYETANO: CUT AND CUT CLEANLY I agree with the position of Senator Frank Drilon that there is a presumption of regularity in the declaration of all Senate positions vacant, including that of former Senate President Alan Cayetano. Alan knows this. That is why he has not gone to the Supreme Court to challenge his removal. Because at the heart of this latest Senate coup lies a reality that extends beyond questions of quorum, procedure, or parliamentary technicalities. The real issue is who has the numbers to control the Senate. And even assuming for the sake of argument that the Supreme Court were to rule in Alan’s favor, what then? On the first day of session, there would simply be another motion declaring all positions vacant. This time, there would be 13 votes. The reality is that parliamentary power ultimately rests not on titles but on numbers. Indeed, the issue may be resolved even sooner if the President calls a special session of Congress. If Alan has only ten votes and if reports are accurate that he may lose yet another supporter, on what basis can he continue to claim the Senate Presidency? The larger lesson for Senator Alan Cayetano and for the country is this: In a democracy, institutions are bigger than the ambitions of any one leader. No office belongs to any individual. Every position is held only so long as one retains the confidence of those empowered to confer it. Legitimacy does not come from clinging to office. It comes from retaining the confidence of those empowered to choose their leaders. This is why democratic institutions endure. Leaders come and go but institutions must continue to function regardless of the fortunes of any one person. When the numbers are gone, the title eventually follows. The wise course now is not to prolong the contest but to accept the verdict of the numbers. Therefore, I beseech you, Senator Alan Cayetano. Let the institution move forward. Cut and cut cleanly.

@pads_nosi Pero c madriaga criminal pinaniniwalaan nyo ha ha..bobo

pag sinabi ng “18 marines” na nagdeliver sila ng maleta sa langit kay Jesus, paniniwalaan yan ng mga DDS!

@inquirerdotnet Hindi nga magic number pero Kung anu naaayon sa batas Un sundin nyo .ang bobobo nyo nman

A group of law deans, juridical scholars, and political theorists defended the validity of the controversial senate session, stating that “democracy is preserved not by rigid arithmetic, but by ensuring that public institutions remain functional, accountable, and capable of carrying out the people’s business.

STATEMENT OF FORMER SENATE PRESIDENTS ON SENATE BROUHAHA We, former Presidents of the Senate of the Republic of the Philippines, speak at this difficult moment out of our shared moral duty to the institution we once had the honor to lead. Those of us who once held the gavel know that the highest duty of a Senate President is not to cling to office but to leave the institution stronger, more respected, and more firmly bound to the rule of law than when he or she found it. We call on all incumbent senators, regardless of bloc or affiliation, to de-escalate public rhetoric that demeans the Senate and weakens confidence in it; to confine their disagreements to the floor and to the proper forums, where the arguments and the votes can be scrutinized by the public; and to prioritize the urgent work before the Senate (the economy, food and energy security, and justice) over internal maneuvering. We urge all members of the chamber to resolve this crisis swiftly, within the bounds of the Constitution, the rules, and long-standing practice. The country cannot afford an unstable Senate at a time of mounting economic pressures, security threats, and growing public distrust in institutions.

@iamkarendavila So now tama sa pananaw mo Un ngyari..Kung me utak ka mali Un ginawa nila pero Kung tingin mo tama bias at oblok ka

What a stealth move. A quorum made possible with Sen Chiz Escudero’s surprise appearance. What happens now to SP Alan Cayetano’s leadership with these new committee chairmanships? At least today, the senate can have some work done before ‘sine die’.

@bluevill Never

Bayan- Soportahan natin ang minority senators

@iamkarendavila Karen hindi lng c jinggoy ang iniicip mong mag nanakaw sa minority halos lahat sila Wag Un personal n galit lng ang pairalin mo..

Senators were seen crying yesterday as a colleague was being arrested for plunder. This is in no way an indictment of the accused senator but I would like to remind our lawmakers… Iyakan n’yo ang ninanakawang Pilipino. Iyakan n’yo ang binabaha dahil sa nakawan sa flood control. Iyakan n’yo ang gutom nating mga kababayan. Get out of your bubble. Please.

@jesusfalcis Sinasama mo pa si God..same to this kabaklaan

🚨 Jinggoy, Joel, Chiz – may mga flood control cases. Marcoleta, may campaign plunder case. Mark Villar and Camille Villar, may financial fraud cases sa DOJ. Kung lahat sila may warrant na non-bailable and Bato in hiding, APC’s 13 ay magiging 6 na lang. OMG! 🙀 #WorstSenate

@risahontiveros Wala nman tlga eh..hanggang index card ka lng

Hindi po porke’t walang legal background ay wala nang alam sa batas at sa patakaran ng Senado.

🚨 Ombudsman Boying Remulla says the case against Senator Jinggoy Estrada will be filed on Thursday. FYI Sen. Jinggoy, wag na wag nyo po gagayahin si Bato. And don’t trust APC. 👊 To Alan Peter Cayetano, don’t even think about “protective custody”! 😂 #WorstSenate

@jesusfalcis Ayos ah. Bka sunod pati pag tae ni robin i report n din ha ha

🚨 OMG! Atty. Kristina Conti, ICC assistant counsel for victims, said that Robin Padilla helping Bato Dela Rosa escape HAS BEEN REPORTED to the ICC. She is of the opinion that Robinhood is most at risk of violating administration of justice – Art. 70 of the Rome Statute. 👊

@RichHeydarian In your dream bantot..ha ha

BREAKING: likely NEW SENATE COUP next week, as DDS leadership set the end up as shortest-lived “Presidency” of the “Highest Chamber” after the whole BATO debacle!

@RichHeydarian Lumalabas tumbung mo sa galit ah ha ha ha

FACT: BBM needs to be DECISIVE on this!!! Letting go of TORRE was a huge mistake! DDS will snatch MOMENTUM if they manage to PROTECT FUGITIVE ally despite ICC & INTERPOL ARREST warrant!!! You can’t be “nice” or indecisive on this!

@iamkarendavila Ung mga bobo nag dunung dunungan..ha ha..fugitive daw..wala nman warrant galing local..tanga ba kyo tlga

Someone has to be made accountable for Bato’s escape. No less than the DILG Secretary and PNP Chief entered the senate building last night to secure the senators. The public was assured last night Bato was in the “5th foor, in his room, resting”. Bato’s lawyer showed a video last night of Bato supposedly in the senate. The senate building should’ve been secured last night - no one in, no one out. We need answers. How did Bato escape? Who helped him?

@RichHeydarian Tsumupa ka nlng heyderian bayaran..

Btw, meron din ata ICC WARRANT of ARREST against OTHER DUTERTE factotum! Baka kasama yung batchmate ni BATO Jan sa…👊👊

@agot_isidro Duck you too

I have ducking NO respect for these 13 hooligans who call themselves Senators of the Philippines. DUCK YOU. 🤬

@terryridon Cge lng ridon..me araw din ng paniningil..

On the House impeachment vote against Vice President Sara Duterte Today, the 20th Congress House of Representatives will make history. Under two different Congresses, the House will impeach Vice President Sara Duterte for a second time. With at least 215 votes expected to impeach the Vice President—the same number as last year’s impeachment vote—she will soon be made to face an impeachment trial on the basis of unexplained wealth, confidential funds misuse, threats against the President, and bribery, all founded on a broad and solid body of evidence, testimonies, and documents presented before the House Committee on Justice. At this point, the evidence has clearly established probable cause for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution. On unexplained wealth alone, the figures are staggering. The House Committee on Justice found approximately ₱6.77 billion in total transactions linked to the accounts of the Vice President and her spouse, including around ₱4.43 billion in inflows, ₱1.5 billion in outflows, and approximately ₱2.88 billion in net inflows that remained in the banks. Yet in her 2024 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth, the Vice President declared a net worth of only ₱88.5 million. The scale of these transactions cannot be reasonably explained by lawful income, declared assets, or the businesses and professional activities attributed to the couple. The committee also found strong basis to hold the Vice President accountable for the misuse of confidential funds, particularly after the Commission on Audit ordered the return of approximately ₱448 million as personal liability arising from disallowed and unsupported confidential fund expenditures. On the issue of threats against the President, the evidence is likewise direct and overwhelming. Video recordings authenticated and validated during committee proceedings clearly show that the Vice President intentionally and publicly made threats against the President, the First Lady, and the former Speaker of the House. Taken together, these acts constitute a clear showing of betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution. Today’s vote is therefore not merely a political exercise. It is a constitutional act of accountability. And as the House prepares to vote, we must remember that this process does not belong to any one politician, party, or institution alone. This fight is ultimately the nation’s fight—for truth, for accountability, for justice.
