00:01President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. criticizes the Senate Majority's absence from plenary sessions.
00:06When asked about the developments in the Senate, he urges the Senators,
00:09Get back to work!
00:11Get back to work!
00:13Because it's important that we have to do a lot.
00:15The majority refused to attend plenary sessions from June 1 to 2,
00:19with only 11 minority members showing up.
00:22Marcos claims their continued absence plunged the legislature into, quote, disarray.
00:26The refusal to attend the sessions delayed deliberations on laws and the approval of confirmations for presidential appointments.
00:33We are trying to achieve some form of stability so that people can get on with their lives.
00:38We cannot do that if the legislature decides to stay at home and have a vacation.
00:44ONI Senator Cheese Escudero shows up from the majority during the session on June 3,
00:48where a leadership shake-up installs Senator Win Gachalian as acting Senate President.
00:52Minority Senators also criticized Senate President Alan Peter Cayetano's leadership, calling their absence a dereliction of duty.
00:59The minority bloc also urges Cayetano to resign.
