00:00Nadagdagang pa ang bilang ng minorya, pero kapos pa rin para maagaw ang liderato ng Senado.
00:08Nananatiling Senate President si Alan Peter Cayetano.
00:11Kahit may mga kinausap ang niyang majority senator para bumaliktaan, nakatutok live, si Ma'am Gonzalo. Ma'am?
00:24Mel, natapos nga ang sesyon dito sa Senado na walang palitan ng liderato.
00:28Pero ayon kay Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano, mayroong umanong mga tinakot para bumaliktad.
00:37Sa kabila ng ani ay mga sumusubok na bumagin ang Senate majority, lumipas ang sesyon ng Senado na walang kudeta
00:45at nananatiling Senate President si Alan Peter Cayetano.
00:48Sabi ni Cayetano, may mga kinausap umanong senador para bumaliktad, pero hindi niya pinangalanan kung sino ang kumausap.
00:55There were meetings that took place, calls from both sides, may enticement, may pananakot, intentional na ma-weaken ang Senate
01:05because bubuhayin yung constitutional change except this time around, regional Senate ang gusto nila.
01:13But to do that, part of the enticement is that may term extension and then yun nga, regional Senate.
01:24Okay pa lahat, sabi yung walang bibigay, pero grabe ang pressure. At saka talagang pinag-aaway.
01:30Dagdag ni Cayetano, prioridad ng mayorya ngayon na mapunan ang committee chairmanships at makonvene ang impeachment court.
01:36We all agreed naman na in accordance with the constitution and the rules of the Senate, dalawa ang priority parate,
01:43diba?
01:43Organization of the Senate and so the committees naman na hindi controversial na pwede na naming basahin.
01:50And then to go to straight, to refer the articles of impeachment to the committee on rules, which will report
01:58out right away and then mag-convene na yung impeachment court.
02:01So that's the plan.
02:02Bagaman walang palitan ng liderato, nagpahayag si na Sen. Migs Zubiri at JV Ejercito na sasama na sila sa minorya.
02:10Noong nagbotohan para sa Senate President noong nakaraang lunes, nag-abstain si na Zubiri at Ejercito.
02:16Sinabi ni Ejercito na inalok siya noon maging Senate Majority Leader kung sasama siya sa grupo ni Cayetano.
02:22I'd like to thank Mr. President for the trust and honor that I was offered to become the Majority Leader.
02:31But as I have mentioned to you personally, that as of this time, I would rather maintain my independence.
02:41I also recognize that you will say that you will be our number 14, but until the time that we
02:51vote, any member, we have to respect their decision and always ascribe good faith.
02:57Sa ngayon, may labing tatlong miyembro ang mayorya, habang labing isa ang minorya na pinamumunuan ni Sen. Tito Soto.
03:05Absent sa sesyon, si Sen. Ronald Bato de la Rosa.
03:08Kanya-kanyang pulong ang Senate Majority at Minority Groups kanina.
03:13Nagkaroon din ang fellowship lunch si Cayetano kasama ang ilang religious leaders.
03:17What I do not know is if this is the beginning of my journey as the Senate President or if
03:24this is a despidida.
03:25Yesterday, someone sent me that the shortest serving Senate President served for 13 days.
03:39So hindi ko alam kung matatalo ko yung 13 days o kung 7, 8 days lang po tayo.
03:44Sabi ni Cayetano, tanggap niya kung palitan siya bilang Senate President.
03:49Pero hindi siya magbibitaw sa pwesto dahil sa nangyaring putukan sa Senado.
03:53Doon sa nagsasabing take responsibility, kayo pumasok dito, kayo na marili. Tapos kami pagre-resignin nyo.
04:00During my watch, hindi nyo natibag ang Senado.
04:04Now, if I remain or kung papalitan ako, sana hindi matibag ang Senado.
04:10The Senate is a target because we are the last line of defense sa pagdating ng hindi impartial na impeachment.
04:21We're the last line of defense sa budget. We're the last line of defense sa charter change.
04:27We're the last line of defense kung merong gustong yumurak o sumira sa ating democracy.
04:32De-desisyonan pa ng mayuriya kung sususpendihin si Senate Acting Sergeant at Arms Mao Aplaska gaya ng utos ng ombudsman.
04:40Kanina nasa Senado pa si Aplaska.
04:42Pinalita naman si Senate Secretary Dong Mendoza matapos nitong magbitiw sa pwesto.
04:47Si Atty. Jose Luis Montales ang bagong Senate Secretary na tatayu rin clerk of court ng Senate Impeachment Court.
04:53Dating City Administrator ng tagi-city, si Montales.
05:01Mel, kanina meron ding mga pinalita ng mga committee chairmanship.
05:04Kabilang dun sa malalaking committee na napalitan ng chairman,
05:07ang committees on health, national defense, basic education, pati na rin public services. Mel?
05:14Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:16Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:18Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:22Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:22Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
05:22Maraming salamat sa iyo, Ma'am Gonzales.
