00:00Senator Cayetano.
00:01I'm listening to the two senators, and as I mentioned
00:04kanina, huwag na tayong gumamit ng brasuhan, et cetera,
00:08and I see the point of Senator Risa, but I'm also
00:12listening to Senator Marcoleta.
00:15It's, kumbaga sa libro, iba yung love language, but I
00:18don't think they're meant to be any offense.
00:21Having said that, we're only discussing whether we will
00:25take up the amendment or not.
00:27And we have exhausted already all the arguments.
00:32This is a simple motion, so I move that we divide the
00:36house, may irritate my motion.
00:38Then we can go into the merits, and they can try to
00:41convince us whether or not we agree.
00:47So the motion is to take up the amendment to our rules,
00:53as proposed by Senator Marcoleta.
00:56The objection is that it is not in order because we did not
01:01follow our own rules.
01:04Madam Chair, Madam President.
01:06Before that.
01:08Madam President.
01:09Yes, we recognize Senator Irwin Tulfo.
01:11Madam President, my question is, why is the majority in such a
01:18We are in a hurry to tackle this motion.
01:22This allowing a senator for justifiable reasons to attend and
01:26participate in the session through teleconference, whereas in
01:30rule 14, section 41 under B, it's as convenient to hold a
01:37session through teleconference, videoconference, or other
01:40reliable forms of remote or electronic means using appropriate
01:44information and communications technology system due to force
01:48majeure, Madam President, or the occurrence of a national
01:52emergency.
01:54I guess, Madam President, this justifiable reason, what is that?
01:59Does that fall under force majeure, or does it fall under national
02:04emergency, Madam President?
02:06Madam President, my question is, why are we in so hurry?
02:09Why are they, the majority, in a hurry to tackle this motion and
02:15divide the House, Madam President?
02:18I need, we need answers in the minority.
02:21Madam Chair.
02:22Or is it because, Madam Chair, they are in a hurry because of news
02:26reports that probably two of our colleagues might land in jail this
02:31weekend?
02:31Is that the reason why, is that the reason why, they have to have
02:36this inserted, this section 41C, para makaboto po, kung sino man
02:42yung makukulong, dahil sa announcement ng ombudsman na may, may lalabas
02:48na po ang warat ng ilan sa mga kasama natin, Madam President.
02:52That is my question, Madam President.
02:54Madam Chair, the gentleman is out of order because his question, sa
03:00mamadali, bakit, can be discussed in the actual motion, can be discussed
03:09after the motion whether we should take it up.
03:12We take offense that bibigyan niya ng ganyang kulay.
03:16It's just like us saying, are you afraid if we have the hearing on the
03:21blue ribbon on flood control, e mababanggit ka rin.
03:24You do not make that kind of statements here in the Senate because you assume
03:28good faith from everyone, that rule hindi minadili. May 11 pa ho yun.
03:34So, Madam Chair, I move that we divide the House.
03:39And the voting will be done via Viva Votche?
03:42Madam President.
03:43Minority Leader.
03:46I move to adjourn or a quorum call.
03:56That is a higher Presidence, Madam President.
04:01So, I only see the minority leader representing the minority.
04:07The others had left.
04:08Madam Chair, we will not object but for the record, they scampered out and left the
04:16minority leader instead of discussing the rule.
04:19We are not even discussing the rule yet.
04:24And then, ganun na yung allegation nila.
04:29And no one from the minority stood up to say that out of order, si Senator Irwin Tulfo.
04:38So, we will not object, Madam Chair.
04:40In fact, we move that we adjourn till 5 p.m. Monday.
04:45Before that, Madam President, motion to adjourn is not debatable.
04:51Akala ko ba, magaling cerebrals.
04:53We're not debating.
04:54It's not debatable.
04:55We're not debating.
04:56We're not debating.
04:56We're not debating, Madam Chair.
04:57We're not debating, and we will indeed adjourn.
05:00Parliamentary inquiry.
05:02Yes, Senator McCullough.
05:04Nung pong nagsimulan tayo, Madam, meron po ba tayong quorum?
05:10We had a quorum, yes.
05:12Yes, Madam President.
05:15Kapag ka po ba nag-walk out ang minority, nawawala po yung quorum?
05:18Nagsimula po tayong may quorum.
05:20It doesn't matter if they walk out.
05:22Yes.
05:23I think we still have the quorum.
05:25Madam President, Madam President, once there is a quorum call, you have to call the roll.
05:32Kahit naka-present lahat o kulang kanina, or there was a motion to dispense, whatever that is.
05:38Not a quorum call, Madam President, when they readily and willingly walk out.
05:45Hindi po yung covered ng rule natin, Madam President.
05:50As reiterated by the Senate President, and as conveyed by the minority leader, former Senate President,
05:56the rule states that the motion to adjourn takes precedence.
06:00I'm not taking sides.
06:01And we will adjourn session until 5 p.m. on Monday, June 1st, 2026.
06:11June 2nd?
06:13June 1.
06:14The birthday of Senator Laxon.
06:16So we will have cooler heads.
