The bulk of Monday’s plenary session, May 25, revolved around opposition to a “propaganda” video presented by Senator Imee Marcos, which reiterated her earlier claim of an alleged plan to amend the 1987 Constitution to extend the terms of top government officials, including the President.

00:00Yes, we recognize Senator Migsabir.
00:01Point of order. Madam President, the point of order. Under section 93, 94, and 95 on unparliamentary
00:08acts and language, I just want to point out that the video that the lady senator presented
00:14was obviously opinionated, a propaganda tool, right? It should be stricken off the record,
00:22Madam President. And it's unparliamentary. We've seen videos presenting evidence,
00:29evidences, or evidence on issues that are taken up on the floor. I, you know, Senator
00:35Tulfo always comes out with videos showing people being mauled, people being abused for
00:43the information of this body to act on that particular issue. But to come up with an
00:48opinionated piece like that, ganong klaseng video, na propaganda, na showing intrigue.
00:56Kasi ako, Madam President, hindi naman ako sang-ayon sa people's charter change.
01:03I was the first one in this institution who fought that kind of move with the PI and all
01:10of us together, kaming lahat, for the first time in the history of the Senate, 24 senators
01:16tumayo dyan at pinasapun natin yung contra-people's initiative, na fake people's initiative, na
01:24talagang kino-all out natin yung lahat ng grupo nang tumutulak noon from the speaker and even
01:30Malacanang, kinalaban natin. Kaya wala kaming kinalaman dyan, but sinama kami dyan sa
01:37propaganda na yan, na dahil kami, ano yan, duwag 11, ano ba yan, bulaga 11, at grade 13, that
01:46should that be shown here. Because what will stop us now, Madam President, for that lady
01:51senator, that we come up also with a propaganda video here, papalabas din namin, yung mga
01:57salahan nila. Oo, kung ano-ano, hindi naman kami ganyan. To gain traction, to gain views
02:09and publicity, will destroy our fellow colleagues here. Walang ganyanan. Ako, hindi ako nagagalit,
02:17kilala nyo ako, ako pinaka-amiable dito, mahal ko kayong lahat. Pero hindi tama yung
02:21pangyayaring iyon. Hindi ba? Kung galit po kayo, magsalita po siya dyan, magalit
02:27sa gobyerno niya, magalit siya sa kapatid niya, murahin niya kapatid niya. Pero huwag
02:32naman niya idamay yung mga tao na walang kinalaman dyan. Katulad niyan, never ako
02:37kinausap ni Senate President Soto. Never ako kinausap ng mga kasamahan ko dito about
02:42charter changes. Kasi alam din nila, tutul ako, tinanong ko din sila, wala silang
02:46kausap, wala silang kinalaman, wala silang alam sa charter change. This whole group is
02:51just nodding, shaking their heads. There is no such thing. Inday ba diday na ba tayo dito?
02:57Sa Senado? Kaya sinasabi, we're a circus. I apologize to those who are watching.
03:02They think we're a circus. We are a circus because this type of language that we are
03:08pushing in this August Chamber, it's unparliamentary, Madam President. It is unparliamentary.
03:16And I tell you now, these people here, ladies and gentlemen, in this body are not in favor
03:22of any amendments to the Constitution. We just want to bring back the integrity
03:27of this same chamber. Cannot we discuss that as a group, as a body?
03:33That we fight for our integrity? For the good name to be brought back?
03:37For people like Jokno, people like Tanyada, people like Aquino, people like Salonga, even
03:46Frank Dillon, people like Miriam Defensor Santiago, Joker Arroyo, who stood here for what was the
03:53best times of our institution. Have we forgotten that and we've made it already like a circus,
04:00Madam Chair? I do not agree. Because I'm not Macamarcos. I'm not, you know, so when you come up
04:07with a propaganda tool like that, hitting all of us, it makes us look that we are, nasa panig
04:13po kami ng mali, at nasa panig po kami ng mga demonyo. May panindigan po kami lahat
04:20dito, Madam President. So therefore, you can see my passion on this. I move to strike that
04:28the horrible propaganda video of the records of this great institution, Madam President.
04:35Minority leader? Madam, oh. Minority leader?
04:40Before I recognize the former Senate President, may I ask the former Senate President, Senator
04:46Subiri, is that transformed into your motion?
04:50Yes, that's a motion.
04:50That is your motion.
04:51That is a motion, Madam.
04:52Yes. So before I recognize, before we act on your motion, may I hear first from the minority
04:57leader and then Senator Tulfo. Yes. Is it a manifestation or a motion as well?
05:02Thank you very much, Your Honor. Well, this is a way of seconding the motion of Senator
05:11Subiri. First of all, the presentation or what we call the editorial video that we, that
05:24we witnessed, yes. I would like to take exception of my being mentioned there.
05:32Parang lumalabas na parang lahat nung narinig nila or nakipag-meeting sa akin ang speaker
05:38o kung sino pa, eh parang pumayag ako. Sana tinanong nila yung source nila, pumayag
05:46ba ako? Yung mga binabanggit na idea. I did not even mention it to any member of the
05:52Senate. Tungkol doon sa mga ideas of, let's say, original Senate and all that. Itong mga
06:00idea ng mga tao ito, eh. Di ba? Kung nakikinig ka, narinig mo yung idea, ikaw ba'y sumang-ayo
06:08na? Dahil narinig mo? For example, in my case, I have never been in favor of
06:18cha-cha. Charter change? Never. From the day I became a senator up to the present, ang dami
06:26namin pinagdaan na dyan. Ang mas gusto ko, katsya. C-H-A. C-H-A. Not charter change.
06:35Ang kailangan natin, katsya. Character change. That was, that is what we need.
06:43Okay? Kaya pag mayroong, let's say, may idea ang Speaker of the House. Gustong kausapin
06:48ng Senate President at sinasabi nila, mayroon silang mga membro, ganito. Idea, ganito.
06:53And ang idea ganito, ay ibig sabihin ba nun, eh, mali na kagad ako dahil narinig
06:58ko. Ano? Did I agree? Ang sabi ko pa nga, you know, if you're going to change the, or
07:05amend, not change, ah. Amend. Ang siya, ang nabanggit ko. If you're going to amend the
07:11Constitution, baka ako pumayag sa isang bagay lang, sabi ko. Ano? At yun eh, may,
07:17mag-asano, eh, ingest ko pa sinabi. Sabi ko, eh, ibaba natin ang edad. Bakit sa
07:24America, 35 years old na Presidente? Ang Senator, 30. Bakit sa natin 40 and 35?
07:31Kaya maripa rin yung sinasabi dun sa isa sa comment sa, ah, the distinguished
07:37lady na sinasabi, eh, gusto ko raw iakyat into 50. Para ma-disqualify dun sa
07:43Sara Duterte. That's, that's not true, Mr. President. Madam President. That's
07:49impossible. I never said that. Di ba? I have nothing to do with the, the proposal
07:55for any elections of Sara Duterte in 2028. For all you know, I might vote for
08:00her. Di ba? Ano pa yun eh? Hindi pa pwedeng porke pinag-uusapan, narinig
08:05mo eh, yun na kaagad. At saka lalabas dito na para bang ako yung nakikiisa. I have
08:12nothing to do with the allegations of Chacha. I heard the proposals. I never
08:18brought it up to my colleagues. Any one of them. Hindi ko binanggit eh. As a matter
08:26of fact, there was one time na sinasabi yung meeting daw namin. Senator Laxon
08:31was, was, was there. He, uh, dropped by because he had the board meeting. At tapos
08:37sabi ko, tama-tama, oh. Nagkamali siya ng pasok. Well, actually, it's not a room. It's
08:44just the VIP area that's open, very open. Sabi ni Senator Laxon, oh, anong ginagawa
08:51niyo nito? Nagkamali ako ng pasok. Hindi, sabi ko, nagkipentuhan lang kami. Sabi ko,
08:55at, ah, tinanong ko pa siya, ilan ba yung, ah, kwartong pinapagawa sa new Senate
09:01building? I even asked in that. Bakit? Sabi niya, why? Eh, ito kang kakusin, mga, ano,
09:07yung mga congressmen gustong gawing regional. Gusto nilang gawing 36 ang mga senador.
09:13Sabi ko, eh, tatanong ko, yung kakasya ron. You know, we were joking. So, yung, yung mga
09:20source na nag, ah, nakikinig ng mga kwento, parang, you know, they make it sound
09:25sinister. Mag-iingat po tayo sa mga ganong kwento. Hindi ko sinasabing hindi
09:31nangyari. Nangyari. Yung nag-usap kami, nagkita kami. As a matter of fact, you will not be
09:37surprised. You should not be surprised if I often see, ah, Bojidi. Because Bojidi is my
09:44golf mate. Ang mga golfing friends namin, every now and then, nakaka-dinner kami. And
09:51during that time, na pinag-uusapan nila yung, ah, na binabanggit na nag-meeting daw kami
09:58dahil sa chacha. Parang ganun ang dating, eh. That's not true. Ang talagang topic namin was
10:05the new TW 777 of Honma Meres. It's a new set of clubs. That speaker, Bojidi, was telling
10:15me that, ah, he wanted to buy it. Asked me if I tried it already. Eh, kami mga golfing
10:21buddies na grupo, eh. Ah, even Do Mendoza was there because Do Mendoza is NPC also. He's the
10:28secretary general of NPC. So pagka nakikita-kita kami, almost, what, every two weeks, every
10:35month, we have an NPC, ah, meeting. Ah, we always miss you, ah, Madam President, because, ah, you
10:42seldom attend. You know? So, hindi, ah, dapat masamain kung nag-uusap-uusap ang mga
10:49politiko. Kung may mga idea mga politiko. Ah, that's why I really take offense. I take
10:56exceptions to what was presented. But, um, I don't, I, I don't care about what the other
11:02mention, or the other things that were mentioned. But as far as the issue of, ah, my involvement
11:09in Chacha is concerned, I vehemently deny. Ah, definitely. I have nothing to do with
11:16that. And, ah, I, ah, second emotion of Senator Subiri that the editorial video should be stricken
11:25off the record because it appears na parang mayroon tayong ikangay sinister na plano nakasama
11:31kami. Thank you. Yes. Madam President. Thank you very much. Just in the, so that there's a
11:38proper order according to who first, ah, raised his hand. I saw Senator Irwin Tulfo. I saw
11:45Senator, ah, I am objecting to the motion, Madam President. Ah, let me just, ah, Senator, ah,
11:51uh, Sherwin Gatchalian, was it? Um, Senator, ah, Kiko Pangilinan and Senator, ah, Ping
12:21be heard because I am the one who objected to the motion. Oh, there's been an objection.
12:27Okay. Um, there are, the others are seconding the motion of Senator Miguel Zubiri. Yes, Madam
12:34President, I think. Senator Dante Marcoleta is objection, objecting to the motion to delete
12:40off the record the, ah, privilege speech. May we, the video, the video in the privilege speech.
12:47Ah, we take, ah, note of that. May we hear the other seconding motions. And I think I've
12:55recognized the others in that order. Um, yes, we take note of the objection. Madam President,
13:01will you not hear why I objected? Yes. I need to register the reasons why I objected to the motion.
13:08Madam President, Madam President, I raised my hands, ah, immediately after. So I guess,
13:17uh, siguro, may I, before hearing the objection of the good gentleman. That is what the chair
13:24will, uh, actually, that is what, uh, the presiding officer will actually say that we will listen
13:30in the order, uh, that I mentioned the seconding motions, and we will likewise listen to the objection,
13:39uh, so noted by Senator Marcoleta and all the reasons pertaining to the objection. And we will vote
13:46on the measure because there is an objection. Thank you. Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair,
13:53I, I, I, uh, I, uh, second the motion to strike that, uh, of our records, that video presentation,
14:02uh, presented earlier, uh, Madam President. Because, Madam President, all senators of this chamber,
14:10be it the majority, be it the minority, we need respect, or we deserve respect, Madam Chair.
14:20We must not tolerate presentation of unparallementary acts. Yung tayo, yung ating institution, Madam Chair,
14:32is sisirain, doon po sa video presentation. Nasisira po yung ating ikanga institution. And what we're
14:42trying to do, Madam Chair, or Madam President, instead of trying to regain, ikanga, yung credibility
14:50of this Senate. Ano na lamang po at babanatan po natin mismo ang ating institusyon. Wala pong iniwan yun, Madam
15:00President,
15:01na sisirain po natin ang sarili nating tahanan. Mabuti po sana kung facts-based po yung mga iprinisit na kanina.
15:10Eh, haka-haka lamang po. Akala ko nga po, fake news yung pinapanood ko, which I believe is fake news,
15:16which I believe is just an opinion, an idea of one person or one group, Madam President.
15:23I think, so I therefore seconded the motion that video recording bestricken off the records of the Senate.
15:33Thank you, Madam President.
15:37Take note of that. Next, is Senator Kiko Pangilinan, we recognize.
15:42Thank you, Mr. President. I likewise support the, uh, uh, and second, uh, the motion to strike off the record,
15:51the video, Mr. President. Clearly, disinformation has no place in this chamber, Mr. President.
15:58Sowing of intrigues has no place in this, uh, plenary hall, Mr. President.
16:04Fake news has no place in this, in this, uh, plenary hall, Mr. President.
16:10And I say this by presenting the facts, Mr. President.
16:13This representation was chairman of the Constitutional Amendments Committee from August 12 until May 11.
16:24And the records will speak for itself.
16:27Sabi nga nila, we should seek the truth from the facts and not from disinformation video propaganda.
16:33What are the facts?
16:36From August 12 until May 11, Mr. President, the Committee on Constitutional Amendments never held hearings on constitutional change.
16:49That in itself is proof, Mr. President, that this, uh, haka-haka, this, uh, uh, conspiracy to commit or to
17:01amend the Constitution
17:02for, uh, whatever reason, self-serving, term extension, no-el, et cetera, these are lies, Mr. President.
17:11At least in this plenary hall and in this chamber, the Senate did not entertain charter change under my watch
17:20as chairman of the Committee on Constitutional Amendments.
17:23For the record, Mr. President, and I support the, uh, striking, striking of the record, that it be stricken of
17:28the record, Mr. President.
17:30Um, thank you. We take note of that, Senator Pangilinan.
17:34Um, just for the record, so that it is clear on, that's Rule, uh, 34, Section 93, acts and language
17:42which offend a senator or any public institution
17:45shall be deemed unparliamentary, and Section 94, no senator under any circumstances shall use offensive or improper language
17:53against another senator or against any public institution, just for the record.
17:58We recognize, then, Senator Sherwin Gatchalian.
18:04Thank you, uh, Madam President.
18:06Madam President, for the record, never ho namin napag-usapan po ang charter change.
18:12CON-AS, CON-CON, uh, People's Initiative, never po lumabas yung, uh, pangalan ng charter change sa aming pag-uusap.
18:24Nag-uusap po kami tungkol ho kung paano ho natin maiayos ang mga problema ho ng ating bansa,
18:30higit sa lahat, paano ho mabalik ang tiwala ng taong bayan sa ating institusyon.
18:35Ah, ah, aminado ho ho tayo. Pag tayo po ay umiikot sa buong Pilipinas, nakaka-usap po natin ang ating
18:42mga constituents,
18:44marami ho'ng nagulat, maraming nagalit, at marami ho'ng nadismaya.
18:49At ito ay hamon sa ating lahat, hindi lang po sa ating Senate President, hindi sa ating lahat, kung paano
18:56ho tayo magtutulong-tulong,
18:57maibalik po ang dignidad at respeto ng taong bayan sa ating institusyon.
19:04Kaya mga kasama, itong mga lumalabas na video na ganito, hindi ho ito nakakatulong.
19:10Bagkos, ito rin po ay magkakaroon ng negatibong epekto sa pananaw po ng ating mga kababayan
19:17sa institusyon na mahal ho natin ang gusto ho natin protektahan.
19:22So with that, Madam President, let me second the motion of Senator Miguel Zubiri,
19:31invoking Section 93 of our rules, acts, and language which offend a senator or any public institution
19:40shall be deemed unparliamentary.
19:43Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, Madam President.
19:45Thank you, Senator Shervin Gatchalian.
19:47And let me just also note that maintaining and restoring the dignity of the institution,
19:54the Senate as an institution, is not a monopoly of a few in this institution.
20:00I believe that each and every one of us in this institution wishes to maintain the dignity.
20:07And all of us, to the best of our ability, whenever we are in plenary or in hearings
20:12or even outside our premises, are bound to that.
20:20Thank you, Madam President.
20:22Thank you, Madam President.
20:22My name was mentioned by the distinguished minority leader, and I confirm that I witnessed a portion
20:31of their conversation.
20:33I think present during that discussion, of course, the minority leader, Speaker Boje D, the Deputy Speaker, I think, Hernandez,
20:44and the former Secretary of the Senate, Dong Mendoza.
20:49Nagkamali po ako ng paso kasi I was about to attend a board meeting in the same area.
20:56And nakita ko yung, nakita ako nung tao ni Senator Soto.
21:01So pinapasok ako, napasok ako, sabi ko, ops, mali pala.
21:04Ano bang ginagawa niyo rito?
21:05So, ang unang tanong sa akin, tama-tama kasi piguusapan namin na kung sakali magkaroon ng Charter Change,
21:14e baka pwedeng request ng Speaker of the House kung pwedeng increase yung number of Senators to 36 from 24.
21:22Ang naging role ko naman doon kasi, tama-tama, ilan ba yung kwarto doon sa Senate Building?
21:30Sabi ko, 65 kasi yung na-request ni Senator Pimentel at that time.
21:36He was also thinking of increasing the number of Senators.
21:40So, 36 lang kailangan.
21:42So, after that, and I confirm na probably ako yung sinasabi ni Lito Banay na source.
21:50Because immediately or the following Thursday, we used to have this Thursday Eating Club
21:57attended by Lito Banayo, Gringo Hunasan, and several other personalities.
22:03Some former Senators, former Congressmen, incumbent Congressmen,
22:08sometimes Governor Rudito Albano would be there,
22:12ex-Congressman Suplico, and several others.
22:15So, ako naman, out of, you know, wala naman seryoso sa pag-usapan.
22:22So, I shared, sabi ko, kanina nga pala, noong Monday or Tuesday,
22:27sabi ko, napapag-usapan na i-increase yung number of Senators.
22:31So, parang kwentuhan lang yun.
22:33Kung seryoso yun, hindi ko ikukwento kasi sensitive kung seryoso.
22:38And I also confirmed the manifestations of several of my colleagues.
22:44In the minority, never naming napag-usapan yan in as many caucuses that we held or we had in different
22:53places.
22:54Ang pinag-usapan po lang namin, Madam President,
22:59kung paano natin isasalba yung integridad, yung dignidad, yung reputasyon ng Senado.
23:06So, wala po kami ibang piguusapan na kaya kami magpa-plano na mag-takeover sa Senate leadership.
23:16Eh, para sa con-us, never, I confirmed the earlier statements, Madam President.
23:21So, kanina, nabanggit ni Minority Leader Tito Soto na ang unang press statement ng ating distinguished senator from Ilocos Norte,
23:35eh kaya raw babaguhin yung age, yung of qualification.
23:40Itataas daw from 40 to 50 para ma-disqualify si BP Sara kasi hindi pa siya mag-50 in 2028.
23:48Baligtad po ngayon ang sinasabi.
23:50At baligtad doon sa katotohanan, dahil ang narinig-uusapan nila,
23:54ibababa yung age ng mga senador, hindi po si Presidente.
24:00Mga senatorial candidates, ibababa from 40 to 35.
24:04Nagbiru pa nga ako, no, ng Presidente, I mean, ano.
24:07Nagbiru pa nga ako, sabi ko, partner, para ba kay Biko Soto yan?
24:12Nagbiru pa, in jest.
24:14Of course, Mr. President.
24:16O Madam President, yun po yung takbo ng usapan.
24:19So, papano nabuo yung istorya?
24:22Nakatakot-takot po yung mga video.
24:23Wala pong katotohanan.
24:25Kaya nung na-interview po ako ng media, sabi ko, outright lies.
24:29Flat lies.
24:30Kasi hindi po totoo na napag-usapan doon na itaas yung edad, yung qualifying age,
24:36pagtapo ng Presidente sa ka-Vise-Presidente from 40 to 50 para ma-disqualify.
24:42Nothing could be farther from the truth, Madam President.
24:46So, with that, I support the motion of the former Senate President,
24:52former Majority Leader, MIG Subiri,
24:55to strike off the record yung mga portions na offensive sa mga kapwa natin, Senador.
25:01Minus the whole video.
25:02Yeah, minus the whole video.
25:04I support that motion, Madam President.
25:07Thank you, Senator Laxon.
25:08We recognize Senator Bamakino, was it?
25:12Then, Senator Tulfo, Rafi, and Senator Risa raised her hand.
25:18Just for the information of Senator Marcoleta,
25:21it's not that I'm delaying the reasons for your objection, sir.
25:25I am, we are listening to the seconding motions.
25:30Magandang araw, Madam President, mga kasama.
25:32I rise to second the motion of Sen. Zubiri.
25:38Dahil yung video po na nakita ho natin, marami hong pagsisinungaling.
25:44Unang-una po, klaklaruhin ko po, we have been meeting as a minority maybe two times a week.
25:51Baka naging three times pa yan.
25:53At niisang beses po na pag-usapan ang constitutional change.
25:58Hindi ho yan binanggit ni former Senate President Soto, ni Senator Laxon.
26:04Hindi ho yan nabanggit niisang beses.
26:07Wala hong pag-push.
26:08Wala po nagsabi, mag-meeting tayo para mag-chatcha, para mag-conas.
26:12Wala pong nangyaring ganyan.
26:14Unang-una pong fake news.
26:16Pero nais ko pong balikan yung video.
26:19Ano po ba yung sinasabi ng video?
26:21Sinasabi po nung video,
26:22nagkaroon ng leadership change dito sa Senado dahil pinipigilan ang charter change o con-as.
26:30Hindi ho ba?
26:31Yan po yung ibig sabihin ng video.
26:33Na yung bagong mayorya nagsama-sama para pigilan ang isang charter change.
26:39Tama ba ako mga kasama?
26:41Yun yung ibig sabihin ng video eh.
26:43Kung yun po yung ibig sabihin ng video,
26:45at dahil nagkaroon ng leadership change para pigilan ang con-as,
26:48eh marami pong naniwala sa fake news.
26:51Dahil wala po yan sa kahit anumang plano ng mayorya.
26:55When we were in the majority, there were 15 members of the majority.
26:59Apat po dyan, kasama na po ngayon ng bagong mayorya.
27:02Ni isang beses po, hindi napag-usapan ang charter change sa anumang meeting po namin.
27:07Ni isang beses, hindi po napag-usapan ang con-con o con-as.
27:11Pagating ko po dito sa Senado, ngayong 20th Congress,
27:15ni isang beses, hindi po yan nabanggit.
27:17In fact, Mr. President, I don't even know kung merong nakafile.
27:21Meron bang nakafile na chacha o con-as o con-con ngayon in the 20th Congress?
27:26Palagi ko wala.
27:27Sabi po ni Sen. Pangilinan, wala man silang napakinggan.
27:32Any motion, any bill on charter change, wala po.
27:37So kung sasabihin niyo po sa amin,
27:39ang rason kung bakit nagkaroon ng leadership change
27:41ay para pigilan ang isang con-as o con-con,
27:44ay ibig po sabihin yan, maraming naniwala sa fake news.
27:48Dahil hindi po totoo yan. Unang-una.
27:51Pangalawa, sa totoo lang po, marami po dito ipaglalaban ang 1987 Constitution.
27:58Marami po dito, hindi papayag na baguhin yan sa terminong ito.
28:03Marami po dito, hindi lang sa mayorya, pati rin po sa minority,
28:07ang magsasama-sama para hindi mabago ang 1987 Constitution.
28:12At higit pa po dito, ito pong sasabihin ko,
28:15marami rin po dito, hindi papayag sa isang no-election senaryo.
28:20Siguro po, konti anong kami.
28:22Kayo ba dito ay para sa charter change?
28:24E baka po makita po ng ating distinguished lady
28:27na marami po dito ang sasang-ayaw na ayaw natin ang charter change.
28:31Kung nagtanong lang po, ilan ba dito talaga yung ayaw ng eleksyon?
28:34E baka malaman po lahat tayo dito, talagang 2028 election,
28:40paninindigan po natin na matutuloy.
28:43Kung tinong lang po kami, siguro po, masasabi po natin ngayon pa lang,
28:47kung nagbilangan tayo ngayon, e baka 24 po ang makuha natin na hindi papayag sa charter change.
28:53Baka 24 po ang makita po natin na hindi papayag na walang eleksyon.
28:58So para sabihin po na yung minority, yan ang pinakapaka,
29:02yun po'y mali, yun po'y fake news, yun po'y misinformation.
29:05And I second the motion of Senator Zubiri to strike this video off the record.
29:10Marami salamat, Mr. Chairman, Madam President.
29:13Thank you, Senator Bam Aquino.
29:15We recognize Senator Rafi Tulfo.
29:21Madam President, I support the motion of Senator Meg Zubiri
29:26to strike the record, yung video presentation ni Senator Aimee Marcos.
29:34I've been in public service broadcasting sa media for almost 30 years now.
29:40So, first time lang ako nakikita ng Haosyao presentation kanina.
29:46But before that, let me tell you this.
29:49Sana huwag natin gamitin yung plenary para sa mga conspiracy theories natin.
29:55Sana maging totoo lang tayo.
29:57Again, babalikan natin yung sinasabi ko, experience ko sa media.
30:0030 years na po ako sa media.
30:02Kapag ako po or anybody from the media, professional, legit, hindi yung Haosyao.
30:08Pag nag-expose, gumawa ng expose, binabaka pa niyan ng video related doon sa expose.
30:15Hindi yung gawa-gawa, hindi yung katang-isip, hindi yung opinion.
30:21Pag naglabas ng expose ang isang tao, especially dito sa bulwagang ito,
30:26dapat related doon sa sinasabi noong senador.
30:32Just like what Senator Zubiri said, nakita niya naman po, Madam President,
30:36every time na ako'y gagawa ng expose, every time na ako'y gagawa dito ng privilege speech,
30:40at yung privilege speech ko, binabaka pa po po ng mga sumbong,
30:44actual na mga sumbong na mga taong lumalapit sa aking programa
30:47at dinadala ko rito para mabigyan ng solusyon.
30:50Ang problema inalalapit sa akin at hindi po yung opinion-opinion lamang.
30:54Ganun po dapat tayo rito.
30:56Now, ilang beses na po tayo nagpalit ng liderato dito sa Senado.
31:01Every time nagkaroon ng palitan, ngayon lang po ako nakita na nagkakaroon ng kaguluhan.
31:07Why? What's wrong?
31:08Dapat hindi na po.
31:11Let's move on.
31:12Kasi nasasayang po yung oras natin dito, puro na lang bangayan.
31:16The people have spoken.
31:19Sinasabi nila, enough is enough.
31:20We've been like a circus for the past few days.
31:23Pinagtatawanan po tayo.
31:25I was out there last night.
31:28Pag naglalakad ako, kinakausap ko ng mga tao, ano nangyari sa Senado?
31:32Ano bang nangyari sa inyo? What's going on?
31:34Nakakayaan na po.
31:35Ang panawagan ko, magtrabaho na lang po tayo.
31:39So, itigil na po natin ito mga kuwano na mga nasa katangisip natin.
31:44Let's move on because we were voted, elected by the people para magtrabaho, hindi para magbangayan.
31:51Maraming salamat, Madam President.
31:52Maraming salamat po. Tayo po ay nakikisa rin sa sinabi nyo.
31:55May katanungan lang po ang presiding officer.
31:57Because we are using either the Filipino language or English,
32:03I would like to request the good gentleman from Isabella
32:07to use an alternative word to haushao
32:10because it may be difficult to translate it.
32:15Is that Filipino? I just want to be enlightened.
32:18Haushao is street lingo, meaning fake.
32:21I'm sorry?
32:22Ibig sabihin fake, ibig sabihin peke.
32:26Yes. So that it's clear because I was also asked.
32:30So, are you there editing or amending the statement?
32:34Because even the spelling was not clear also to the stenographers.
32:40Hindi legit.
32:42Thank you very much.
32:43Thank you, Madam President.
32:44Since we're talking about parliamentary language,
32:46may we also cite that everyone uses either English in its traditional form
32:51and Filipino and or other languages of the 120 languages of the Philippines.
32:58Senator Risa Ontiveros.
33:02Thank you, Madam President.
33:04Madam President, sinusugundahan ko rin po ang motion ni Sen. Mig Zubiri
33:09na istrike ang video po na iyan sa record nitong sesyon.
33:14Ulitin ko lang po ang sinabi ko last week sa sarili ko namang privilege speech.
33:20Ganito na ba kababa ang inaabot ng politika sa Pilipinas?
33:25Na hanggang dito sa floor ay magbabatuhan tayo ng putik.
33:31Sanay naman tayo sa pakikipagdebate,
33:34pagtanggap ng batikos at pagsagot sa mahihirap na tanong.
33:38So, hindi ako sensitibo sa puna. Sanay ako dyan.
33:42Pero, Madam President, ang pinakita po na video ay fake news.
33:49Hindi ko yan pwedeng hayaan kasama ng ating mga kasama na andyan nalang unchallenged.
33:57Delivering a privileged speech is not the same as having the privilege to have fake news
34:04entered into the official record as if it were evidence.
34:08The materials presented made serious claims about the intentions of fellow Senators,
34:16including allegations about pursuing charter change
34:20without presenting proof sufficient to support those conclusions.
34:25Kung may aligason tungkol sa charter change,
34:29ipakita ang boto, panukala, o akson.
34:34Huwag naman hahantong pa, gaya ni sinabi ng kasama natin sa conspiracy theories.
34:40Dear colleagues, we can argue hard without lowering the dignity of this chamber.
34:47Last week, nagprivileged speech po ako tungkol sa barilan dito sa Senado.
34:52Napakarami pong nagsabing magtatanong sa akin pero wala naman ngayon.
34:58At ngayon, may bago na naman pong kwento.
35:02Ibang story na naman po ang gustong ngayong linggo.
35:06Nakakahiya na, please.
35:08Araw-araw nalang bang ganito.
35:11Huwag naman sanang dumating ang araw na wala na tayong mukhang maiharap sa mga Pilipino.
35:18At for the record, gaya din ang sinabi ng maraming kasama,
35:22malinaw naman ang track record ko na mariin na pagtuto sa charter change.
35:27At gaya ng sinabi ng mga kasama, wala pong pinag-usapang charter change.
35:33Muli, Madam President, for the record, sinusugundahan ko po ang motion.
35:37Salamat po, Madam President.
35:39Thank you, Senator Risa Ontiveros. May we recognize Senator J.D. Eherjoto.
35:44Yes, thank you, Madam President.
35:45Likewise, may I also put on record that I support the motion of Senator Zubiri
35:51that the privilege speech of our colleague be sticking off the records.
35:58And Madam President, allow me to explain.
36:02Let us not allow this August institution to be used as a platform for disinformation.
36:09Fake news is already a serious problem in our country,
36:12one that continues to mislead the public, distort important issues,
36:16and erode trust in our institutions.
36:20Sinusigundahan ko rin ang mga pahayag ng aking pong kasamahan kanina,
36:24yung pong Constitutional Assembly, Charter Change or People's Initiative,
36:28kailanman hindi namin napag-usapan
36:31o kailanman hindi napag-usapan ng lahat dito sa Senado.
36:37At siguro kung magbabalik na na ho tayo, Madam President,
36:42naaalala ko po, siguro first time in history that 24 Senators came up that roster
36:50declaring that we are all in unison against People's Initiative,
36:56against Charter Change, and against any Constitutional Assembly.
37:01So hindi pa ho natin kailanman pinag-uusapan yan kailanman.
37:06Precisely, Madam President, we are policy makers.
37:09We carry a greater responsibility to uphold the truth
37:13and set a higher standard in our public discourse.
37:16Madam President, sa atin po, ang sakin na lang po,
37:19personally, I feel sad about what is happening to our institutionally lately.
37:26And I guess, all of us has that duty on what we have to do
37:32to bring back that trust, that dignity,
37:37this institution has always been remembered.
37:41Ibalik natin dapat ang tiwala ng taong bayan sa Senado.
37:46Hindi dapat dagdagan na ito po ay malugmok pa.
37:51Ibalik ang tiwala sa Senado.
37:53Maraming salamat po, Madam President.
37:57Ibalik natin dapat ang tiwala sa Senado.
38:00Amen.
38:01And the hali Exactly.
