00:00Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano and Interior Secretary John Vic Remulia clash over the execution of an arrest warrant for
00:07Senator Jingoy Estrada at the Senate Monday, June 1.
00:10Before Estrada surrendered to the PNPC-IDG in the Senate, Cayetano insists no one should be arrested inside Senate premises.
00:18He cites the separation between the executive and legislative branches of the government.
00:23But Remulia says that privilege was lost when Senator Bato de la Rosa escaped while under Senate protection.
00:29Ang sabi ko sa kanya, Sir, I'm sorry, you lost that privilege when Bato escaped.
00:37Okay, next.
00:38So, what do you want to say?
00:39So, yes.
00:41Do you honor that separation?
00:43We will inform them, we will give them the courtesy, but if there is an arrest to be made, we
00:48will make the arrest.
00:49Only members of the Senate minority are present at the session hall for the plenary session Monday.
00:53Before going to Camp Crame for his surrender, Senator Jingoy Estrada is accompanied by Cayetano and Majority Senators Aimee Marcos,
01:01Rodante Marcoleta, and Camille Villar.
