00:26Thank you very much.
00:30Man creates the crisis, but God gives the solution.
00:35The last few weeks, there was a man-made crisis by the minority in cooperation with some people in the
00:44administration,
00:46by them trying to undermine the leadership of the Senate at pinapalabas ng magulo ang Senado.
00:53Pero mas mabigat po ang usapin natin ngayon. Bakit po?
00:56Dahil may tanong po tayo.
00:58Una, has Philippine democracy died again?
01:05Pangalawang tanong, binasura po ba ang Philippine Constitution?
01:10Bakit po po ito tinatanong?
01:12Simple po, ang nakalagay sa konstitusyon ng Pilipinas.
01:19Pwede magkonduct ng business ang Senado by a majority of all its members.
01:26Ang majority po ng 24 ay 13 po.
01:3113 po ang numero.
01:33Yung sinasabi po nilang kaso, yung po ay ibang-iba.
01:38Nag-adjourn po kami nung nag-walkout sila.
01:41So that means they have to call the roll at kailangan labing tatlo.
01:46Yung binabangit nilang kaso po, inahamon po lahat ng abogado.
01:51It is not applicable.
01:52Kasi doon po, tuloy-tuloy yung sesyon.
01:56Tiligil, tapos sinabing may continuing forum po sila.
02:00Tayo po, malinaw na malinaw sa records, ay nag-adjourn.
02:05Adjourn, last Tuesday at sinabi na tayo ay muling magre-resume ng alas 5 noong lunes.
02:14So, what is the point of going through this?
02:20The question we have to ask ourselves is that,
02:23is the Constitution but a piece of paper to this administration?
02:27Has the judiciary ceased to function?
02:32Wala na ba ang Senado?
02:33Yun na po ba ang pananaw ng ating administrasyon?
02:39Ang tingin ba po ng labing dalawang Senador ay basta't kakampi mo ang Malacanang,
02:45ay wala ng batas?
02:47Kung titignan nyo po ang Rule 1 and 2 ng Senado,
02:50na ayon ito sa Philippine Constitution,
02:53para i-elect ang Senate President at ang Senate President Pro Temp or Pro Tempore,
02:59ay kailangan po labing tatlo.
03:02So, paano po nila alisin si Sen. Loren Legarda kung 12 lang po sila?
03:09At mapapakita po sa inyo na gusto nilang i-control ang premises ng Senado
03:14at gusto po nilang hindi mag-hearing ang Blue Ribbon Committee bukas
03:19sapagkat ay binasa po nilang rule para magkaroon po ng acting Senado President.
03:26Kailan po ba pwede magkaroon ng acting Senado President?
03:29Babasahin po po sa inyong rule.
03:31Sabi po, in cases specified in subparagraph C of section 4 of the rule,
03:36the President Pro Temp shall serve as acting President until the Senep shall have elected a new President.
03:44Hindi po sila maka-elect ng new President dahil wala po silang 13.
03:48Ulitin ko po, pag may 13 po sila, ako pa mag-o-own sa kanila.
03:52Bibilisan ko po, naibibigay sa kanila.
03:55Wala po silang 13.
03:56So, ano yung rule po?
03:59The President Pro Tempore shall discharge the powers and duties of the President in the following cases, ABC.
04:05But she or he shall only become acting President in the case of subsection C which says,
04:11in the event of resignation, hindi po tayo nag-resign.
04:15Removal, hindi po nila ako naalis.
04:19Death, buhay pa naman po siguro ako, hindi po AI ito.
04:23Hindi po AI ang kumaka-usap sa inyo ngayon, buhay pa po ako.
04:28Absolute incapacity.
04:30Siguro naman po nakikita nyo, nakakapag-isip po ako, nakakapag-salita po ako.
04:36So, wala pong ground para magkaroon ng acting President.
04:40This is an illegal coup d'etat na may kasamang pagbabasura ng ating Constitution.
04:48I warned everyone about this from day one.
04:53We warned everyone yesterday when we explained the use of the parliamentary tool of not having a forum.
05:01And kaninang tanghali, habang kausap ko po si Senator Marculeta,
05:06I asked everyone, please pray, kasi at that time, balita po namin,
05:11na nag-step up sila sa pagsasabing wala na yung kaso nyo, sumama lang kayo,
05:17or pumunta lang kayo ng session hall.
05:19I even got a text yesterday, pumunta lang daw ako, or si Senator Noren,
05:24para nga at least mag-open and close.
05:27So, nangyayari po minsan yan, that's a longer story.
05:30Pero naramdaman po na po kahapon,
05:32na baka may isang dumating,
05:34so 12 plus 1 equals 13.
05:37So, 12 pa rin po ngayon,
05:39ay pang-11 pa rin po.
05:42Dahil sa ating Constitution,
05:44sa ating Rules of the Senate,
05:46kailangan po ang 13.
05:47Hindi po kami nagpipilit sa kapangyarihan.
05:50I can go as Senate President,
05:53even as Senator, anytime.
05:54Hindi po ba ako lang ang katangit-tangit
05:57sa mga matataas na opisyal,
05:59na nung nangyayari yung flood control scam,
06:01ay nagsabi,
06:02ba't hindi na lang tayo lahat mag-resign?
06:05Bakit po ngayon,
06:07after asking me to resign yesterday,
06:09illegal po,
06:11actually po hindi nila ako tinanggal,
06:13naglagay ng acting.
06:15Senator Winn,
06:16Lucian,
06:17ingat kayo dyan,
06:19you're playing around with fire.
06:21This is not just about the Senate,
06:23this is about the Philippine Constitution.
06:26Mga kababayan,
06:27sabi nila,
06:27ginawa nila ito kasi naipit ang trabaho.
06:30Wala naman po silang ginawa ngayon.
06:31Kung hindi baguhin ang mga committee,
06:33para walang blue ribbon committee hearing bukas,
06:37para hindi maimbitahan
06:38ang gabing walong marines.
06:40Pinalita nila ang presiding officer,
06:43bakit po,
06:44nagpakita po ba ako
06:45ng kahit anong
06:46partiality
06:48sa pag-conduct
06:52or pag-usog
06:54ng impeachment court.
06:55Alam nyo po,
06:56madi-delay po ang impeachment
06:58sapagkat pag pineta ng rules,
07:00ay kailangan pa po
07:01na magkaroon ng publication.
07:03So,
07:04pati po ang ating
07:05mga arrangement ngayon
07:07magbabago.
07:08Bukod pa po doon,
07:09pwede mag-motion for reconsideration
07:11kung legal.
07:11Ang problema,
07:12ilegal po
07:13ang sesyon kanina.
07:15So,
07:16this is
07:16their answer
07:18to the crisis
07:18they made.

08:30satisfactory
