00:00Mr. Marcoleta, but this is a point of order, so we recognize Senator Pangilinan.
00:03Yes, Mr. President, my understanding is a committee was, this matter was already referred to the Committee on Rules.
00:10And any, on all such manifestations should have been referred to the Committee on Rules?
00:15Yes, Senator Pangilinan, Senator Laxon gave several privileged speech, even if the matter was already referred to the Committee Report.
00:23I understand, Mr. President.
00:24As a matter of tradition, we allow that.
00:27Ginong Pangulo, pililabas yung Warrant of Arrest kagabi lang, tapos na tayo dito.
00:32I understand, Mr. President, and therefore I'm appealing that perhaps this matter should be tackled in the Committee rather than
00:44in this plenary so that we can address other concerns, Mr. President.
00:50Paano natin pag-uusapan yung ibang...
00:53And for the record, Mr. President, I still have the floor.
00:55And for the record, Mr. President, we voted against Resolution No. 44.
01:01So to say that we have this resolution, yes, but there are senators who voted against it.
01:09And therefore, it is not necessarily our agreement with the points being raised by the good senator from Camarines North.
01:19For the record, Senator Padilla did mention a while ago that he doesn't take it against and he acknowledges that
01:27some senators voted against it.
01:28And it's on the record.
01:30Having said that, the appeal is noted, but I just like to mention that we usually give each other leeway
01:36depending on the importance of the matter.
01:39And the threat to Senator Bato is life.
01:42There's been no official communication that he is free until a Philippine court issues a warrant of arrest.
01:51So I ask the patience of each member, but acknowledge the statement and the interpretation, the proper interpretation of the
02:01rules by Senator Pangilinan.
