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.

Blooms sing with me: Let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me. (repeat until true) Baka po pwede default natin araw araw ang kindness instead of hostility and aggression.

FIRST ON ABS-CBN NEWS: Narito ang ilang eksena na kuha ni ABS-CBN News reporter Zyann Ambrosio kasama ang NBI sa area ng GSIS, gabi ng May 13. Abangan ang buong ulat sa TV Patrol ngayong Huwebes, Mayo 14, 2026.

CONFIRMED: BATO IS NO LONGER AT THE SENATE na para bang siya pa ang nagpaka-bayani at hindi na para madamay ang senado kaya umalis nalang siya. patawow! pinaglalaruan niyo ang taumbayan sa palabas niyo.

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.

It’s starting to look like the whole thing was planned chaos. - Bato said he was told that there will be an attempted arrest. - Both NBI and DILG denied. - Robin’s security with military grade weapons - Robin thumbs up right after the shots - APC, Bong Go, Imee and Mark Villar immediately go live to their followers

Why would the senators call NBI to secure them first, when the PNP is right outside the Senate building? According to our reporter, the PNP was not even allowed to go in when shots were heard.
